About this restaurant

  • Neighborhood gem

    We made reservation at Harvest for Father’s Day dinner and we all had such a great meal. Restaurant has a great patio area that gives indoor/ outdoor feel to the restaurant. The only disadvantage to that was the weather- it was very chilly weather and due to the open patio, our food didn’t stay warm. Regardless, great dining experience and we will definitely be back for other things on their menu.

    Always a hit, especially for brunch. The pastry of the day was a drizzled coffee bun, and for $7, it was size of a small cake that easily could have served four people. There was a special patty melt on the menu with bacon, egg, caramelized onion and hollandaise that was terrific. The place offers such a consistently excellent outing.

    Brunch at The Harvest is a joyful experience. It's a great space to meet up with friends to chat leisurely while enjoying delicious food. The service is excellent. Everyone greets you as if you're a special guest.

    Six in our party .. Easy to hear each other talk which is a plus.. Service was terrific, food was very good, venue had a nice feel.. Has not been there in many years and great to be back. Prices slightly high, but on the margins and not enough to keep us from going back,

    I am trying to be kind . The service was very average. The food was very average . I had the lobster roll . It was very average. The price was ridiculous $18.00 for a Trillium Draft Beer . Lot of profit there . At the Trillium location at Landmark Center near Fenway a beer is $8.00 ! YIKES !

    We had been to Harvest in over a decade and decided it was time to go back. To be clear, everything was wonderful - EXCEPT where we were seated. The restaurant was not busy and we could have been seated in the main room- instead, they sat us next to one meeting room with 2 large parties and then us- a 2 top - husband / wife date night . It was SO loud we could not even talk to each other! Service was amazing and the food was delicious.

    I first went to The Harvest in 1976 and we have been back many times. This restaurant is wonderful and, almost 50 years later, it is still great! We had dinner with an old friend – appetizers were large enough to share, we each devoured our main dishes, and one dessert with three spoons was just the right amount. It is such a pleasure that this holds up. We will continue to come whenever we are in Harvard Square.
