   The Harvest's food is consistently excellent and "innovative enough" without being crazy "food as art" over the top. Service is gracious and attentive without being intrusive. The dining spaces inside and outside are comfortable and well ventilated. In the winter, the place feels cozy. In the summer, open and airy. This is the place we choose for special events and they've never disappointed us.

   We hadn't been to Harvest since the late 80's. The food and service were very good, the atmosphere appears a bit dated, but clean. But all things considered very nice

   Our waiter did an awesome job delivering what we needed. One thing was missing from the meal, but the team delivered the item right away. Our waiter was the best. My wife said that he was pleasant to us. And very sweet. We thanked him all night to show our appreciation.

   The venue is very inviting, especially for being able to chat....quiet atmosphere... The waiter was very attentive...the selection of entrees was excellent...and we were able to make a few changes to the meal as advertised on the menu. All in all...a wonderful culinary experience. Will be back!

   The quantity of food was extremely small. We even heard another party complain of this. The sea bass only four bites. The quality was good but the portions were shockingly small as was the portion of salad. Hard to think that this feels acceptable to the kitchen. Once a great restaurant has fallen very far.

    We had previously dined at harvest a number of times and always enjoyed the experience - both the service and food. But this time service was poor - we waited 30+ min for appetizers - and the food though visually interesting, the taste did not match the visuals..

    Suzanne and I thoroughly enjoyed our evening at Harvest. This was our 1st return since COVID and it was delightful. We dined outside in a pleasant nook, our selections were delicious -- we both had the "Boston 3 course" -- and our waiter (Orlando) was attentive and engaging. We'll be back soon...

    The Harvest keeps getting better and better! I've been dining here since I moved to Cambridge in 1979 and it truly deserves at least two Michelin stars. We had a phenomenal 3-course lunch during Dine Out Boston and everything was served to perfection!! This is, undoubtedly, the best meal I've ever had during Restaurant Week! Kudos to all of the staff at the Harvest. I don't know how you consistently provide the best of everything, but please keep it up!!!!

    Very sorry to report this Harvard Square institution served remarkably poor food for us last night. Grilled salmon was Poorly presented, tough asparagus, burnt unidentifiable ingredients, swimming in oil—but the salmon was perfectly cooked! The Scollaps also reported to be not good. A foodie remarked that there appears to be nobody who knows how to cook here. Also despite careful advance prep the birthday dessert was not presented as promised.

    The restaurant is cuddled in in quiet quarters, so if you sitting on the patio outside you still don’t get the noise of the street. The internal ambience is nice too. Food is right on, high quality, delicious and great presentation too. Staff is friendly and prompt. Totally worth it!

    Harvest has been and is still the best dining experience in the Boston area. The atmosphere is elegant, the food is outstanding and the service is impeccable. This is the only restaurant I know of that has a National Treasure for a waiter. His name is Matthew, and he has been there since 2005. Almost a member of the family, he served our son his first legal drink twelve years ago. Matthew is the most accomplished, professional, knowledgeable waiter I've ever known. He deserves his own three stars from Michelin.

    It took a long time to get serviced and a 40 minutes to get the first course which was the wrong one then an other 40 for main. It wasn’t that busy. I have to admit to being disappointed. The cocktails were nice. My wrong salad was boring. Then replace with a very small version of what I actually ordered as I’d seen one come out as I arrived. Main course was very nice but by then the hungry was real.

    We started with a baby lettuce salad. The lettuce was wilted and very disappointing. The halibut special was dry. Wine was good. Service slow. One of the servers told me there were only three of them working. I felt badly about that. We waited awhile for our bill. My friend had to leave before it arrived because she was afraid she might get a parking ticket. Most experiences at the Harvest have been very good. I couldn't believe the poor quality of the salad! I should have ordered salmon which has been consistently good.

    From the moment we arrived until the moment we left, everything about Harvest was exceptional. The mocktails were exactly what we needed on a humid Cambridge day, and the main courses that followed were each perfect in flavor and presentation. Service was simply outstanding in every area.
