This was the sixth or seventh year we have had our holiday lunch at Harvest. The food was superb and the wait staff is wonderful and gracious - especially as we litter the table with wrapping paper and a gift exchange over dessert. Harvest has not disappointed us yet! The burgers are always amazing, the Moules Frittes are the best I have ever had, cocktails are delicious and inventive (all except the Pilot which was sent back by 2 of us for being too syrupy), and the duck special was tender and delicious. Bon appetite!

I brought my staff for a celebratory holiday lunch and we couldn't have been happier. LeeAnn, the hostess/server, was warm, friendly, and just the right level of attentive. We sat in the covered/atrium space in the back, which was perfect on a rainy day. Cocktails and food were delicious - I ordered the mussels and they were some of the best I've ever had. The lunch reminded me how much I enjoyed Frenchie before Covid and I'm looking forward to coming back on a regular basis. Thanks for a lovely wonderful lunch!
