- RHRichardHBoston / New England •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOnce again The Harvest was great. We had a show to catch and the after made sure we wouldn’t miss it. The scallop ceviche was delicious, with a little heat, which was nice. The mushroom bolognese with papardelle was superb, with the noodles having been made with red wine in the dough instead of water. An elegant and tasty touch.More infoHarvest$$$$• Contemporary American• Cambridge•4.6

She anticipated our requests, came by exactly on time, and said all the right things. We had a perfect table in the shade on a hot day, and the food was outstanding.

Discover Boston
Beantown, dubbed for the baked beans that put the city on the map, is about far more than beans these days. Local restaurants channel the region’s farm-to-table traditions and celebrate the iconic seafood of New England’s coast—no trip to the region is complete without a proper lobster (pronounced “lob-stah,” steamed and served with butter and corn on-the-cob), freshly shucked oysters, fried clams—you name it. Hometown to a handful of internationally influential female restaurateurs and the inimitable legacy of Julia Child, who called Cambridge home, Boston will always be a city where liberal sensibilities meet a global approach, in politics and on the plate.
