Our seasonal menus marry the innovation of contemporary cooking with a timeless respect for American culinary traditions and an emphasis on local farmers and purveyors. Our spacious bar, fireside dining, and hidden gem of a patio each offer a welcome reprieve from the fast-paced world happening just outside our doors.

Serving Lunch, Dinner, and Saturday/Sunday Brunch with seating on our seasonal outdoor Garden Terrace.

    A wonderful Valentines weekend meal. The prix fixe menu was nicely assembled with delicious choices. My wife and I had the broccoli cheddar soup and filet. Both great. Our server Katie was knowledgeable about the menu as well as attentive and delightful. Harvest is one of our go-to places for special occasions.

    The food and drinks were excellent for dinners we got the Venison Loin and the Day Scallops both of which were cooked perfectly and tasted amazing I loved the maple sweet potato mousse with the Venison. The Tiramisu was a very different take and not our favorite, but the drinks were excellent, a great by the glass wine list and our server was excellent. Overall a great special occasion date night spot.

    Amazing! Food as art! Edible art at its best. Every dish was carefully thought out. Our server Charles was super nice. The place was buzzing but they handled it all well. The drinks were wonderful.

    The Harvest never disappoints even on a busy Friday night that just happens to be Valentine’s Day. The food is delicious and, just as importantly, as you ordered it. My medium-well done filet mignon was exactly the temperature I requested. Too often, it comes out rare, but not here. The pacing of courses was good: neither too fast nor too slow. The Harvest manages to reinvent itself decade after decade without losing the fine quality and service it is famous for. Just go; you’ll be glad you did.

    Wonderful meal. The food, flavors and options for a three course prix fixe menu on one of the busiest restaurant days of the year were all superb! I opted for the wine pairing and didn't feel it was a good value for what it was. My wife commented it was one of the best meals we had for quite some time. She had a non-alcoholic cocktail that she thought was excellent. Harvest opened in 1975 and I have been a customer since 1977 or 1978. We will be back again. Hopefully soon.

    We know it was a busy night, but the service was not very attentive, nor knew what was going on. They missed getting us the amuse bouche, we had to ask for it. For the price, the food was not as expected. Disappointed

    The.usual excellence from coat check to departure. Katie was a fine server. My partner who's a wonderful cook said she thinks it's the best meal she's eaten, not in general, but at the Habrvest. After splitting some oysters, she had the lobster, said it was delicious. I had the duck, perfect .fine chocolate dessert the pink thing only so so.. Bravo!

    We dined on Valentine's Day where a prix fixe menu was offered. The food and service were both outstanding. The menu offered many options (at least 5-6) for the appetizer and main courses, and the server was very conscientious in offering modifications. We will definitely return.
