   What a great afternoon! We were seated close to the fireplace. It was so cozy and warm on this chilly May day. The food was delicious!

   The duck and rib-eye were exceptional. They serve the right size portions, not too little or too much.

   We went to Harvest to celebrate my son’s graduation and it was the perfect celebratory meal! The food was absolutely delicious - we enjoyed the squid ink pasta, gnocchi (the lightest you’ve tasted), potato leek soup, French onion soup and everyone loved what they got. We also tried the haddock (hearty portion that I couldn’t finish), and the rib eye, which were all cooked perfectly. Colleen was our sever and she was perfect - charming and attentive - we never wanted for anything. We sat in the heated back porch which was lovely, and they adjusted the temperature to our liking. I’d go back in a heartbeat and would highly recommend, especially for special occasions.

   Very long wait time for appetizers and main course. Even bread took about an hour to come and it tasted like packaged bread from a grocery store. Service was fair- restaurant seemed understaffed. Food was very good but portions were fairly small. Prices were excessive. Five adults with apps, no drinks, no dessert was over $400.

   Visiting from the Bay Area and chose this restaurant based on reviews but were very disappointed. Mother’s Day celebration turned into a frustrating and stressful dinner. 2 of the 4 meals ordered had to be replaced due to mistakes in preparation. We ended up eating separately and did not enjoy any of our meals. We requested bread and were served stale corn bread and were told that’s the only bread they had - only to find out as we were leaving that other tables had other types of what looked like fresh bread. Manager was very rude and showed no interest in making the situation better. The servers (4 of them) were not any better. They sure could use some training in empathy and service recovery. All it takes is a few seconds of genuine understanding and authentic apology to make the situation better but it doesn’t appear that they even care. I have never experienced such indifference in all my years of dining - especially in what is supposedly a higher end restaurant. A good establishment with a focus on customer service would not allow short staffing or other mishaps get in the way of good customer service. Harvest will not survive in this day and age with such poor management and arrogance. I, and everyone I know from coast to coast, will be warning everyone about this place.

   My wife and I have always loved this Cambridge restaurant for its great food, classically refined and welcoming ambience, superb service, and appeal to all age groups, many of whom still choose to dress for dinner! Mother's Day, however, was the rare exception - staff was simply overwhelmed. Long, long waits for service before, during, and after the meal. Lesson learned, but we'll surely be back on non-holidays, despite the nosebleed prices.

    Made reservations for Mothers Day Brunch @ 1PM. We were seated at 1 PM, and service very slow. Took some time to even have someone come to the table. Finally received our entrees a 2:10 PM. An hour to wait is too long. Food quality was good but tremendously overpriced for the value. At $80 per person plus tax (and no extras) for a Prix Fixe menu. Desserts were not even the same as advertised on the website for the Mother's Day Brunch. Very disappointed on our experience...because we we running on a tight schedule, and service so slow, we had to ultimately take away our desserts.
