    This was a luncheon with a writer friend. Normally, we prefer the patio, but that portion of the premises is under construction for a few more weeks. The manager kindly explained to me about the planned changes and what had already occurred. He carefully assured me that the tree that was eliminated would be replaced elsewhere by more young trees in Cambridge. The dining room was busy, but we could hear each other quite well. My guest became interested in the conversation about politics at the next table, and we all had a chance to become acquainted and share our views before the meal ended. It's a friendly environment. We each had a simple dish in keeping with wanting to eat healthier, and we both enjoyed the hummus bowl that was just right. Our service was excellent, timely, and considerate. You can't beat Harvest for lunch in Harvard Square!

    Unique delicious elevated pub food, served in sharing/tapas sizes. Healthy and fried options to suit everyone. Not too loud or crowded. A little pricey compared to pub food, but affordable compared to nearby elevated dining. $110 for two people (four dishes, one dessert, one beer). Definitely worth it for the right occasion.
