History
Opened in 1982 as Upstairs at the Pudding, they had a small dining room three flights above the Hasty Pudding Club. A favorite of the locals, they also attracted many celebrities. Ella Fitzgerald sang 'Happy Birthday' to one of the sous chefs. Julia Roberts smoked a cigarette in the coatroom "and turned to (the staff) and said, 'Shhh, don't tell.'" In 2002, they relocated to Winthrop Street, also in Harvard Square. ==Awards and honors==
