Harvest

Tucked away location and pleasant ambiance at lunch. Service was attentive and punctual. Food, however, was uninspiring — dishes that reminded us that we could have just made it all at home. Veggie burger completely fell apart. The premium price point was not justified.

Unless you want to be treated like you don’t matter and you want to be sick to your stomach, please select another restaurant.

Intimate bistro in the heart of Harvard square. A bit hard to find as it sits down an alley but worth the effort. Excellent food, comfortable environment, good service.

There’s a reason Harvest has been around for close to 50 years because this was exactly the perfect spot for a date night and the ribeye was cooked perfectly. The exceptional service and great food was not to be outdone by an array of tasty cocktails in this charming Harvard square staple. Highly recommend the oysters and cheese plate as well!

Sat outside for brunch, it was excellent. Started with Apple Walnut Salad (amazing), enjoyed the burger (maximize flavor with the aioli), and ended with the apple crepe. Wonderful experience and highly recommend. We will be back to try dinner.

Had a wonderful experience this past Monday. I'd like to give a special shout out to Shannon who was absolutely amazing! She helped my friend and I at the bar and was extremely helpful making recommendations which we are glad we followed. Her kind demeanor and helpfulness make her an asset to Harvest and I will be back next time I am in town just to see her.

I’ve eaten at my fair share of Boston/Cambridge restaurants as a local and will never stop recommending Harvest to anyone who asks me where to eat in the area. From start to finish I’ve never been anything but impressed by the level of service, quality and overall demeanor of every employee there. While I’ve had several occasions to dine there, my most recent experience was to celebrate a close friend’s upcoming second baby with a small girl’s brunch for 6 of us. Knowing the occasion beforehand, they made sure to offer an extensive list of mocktails to the expecting mother (and had real options - not just a bucket of sugar dumped in a soda water). Everything came out to perfection and the level of care was apparent in every step that they took during our brunch. Courtney was our server and she went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable. We all tried everything from the burgers to the crab cake Benedict and loved it all! My pro tip - the mushroom tartine was light and full of flavor which left more room for me to eat as many of the incredible pastries and desserts as I could. If you go to brunch and skip on the cinnamon roll, coffee cake or any of the muffins, you’re making a mistake as they stole the show! I’ll let the pineapple cheesecake photo speak for itself. Anyways! If you couldn’t tell, I would recommend Harvest for any occasion and if you don’t have one, make one up to give yourself a chance to treat yourself to one of the best meals you can get in the Boston area.
