Very overrated. Been thrice and the food is consistently mediocre.

On my most recent visit, the chef decided to replace the mozzarella in the "cucumber and mozzarella salad" with Gouda. One of the grossest salads I've ever had.

If you want a delightful high-quality dining experience - head acr...

This place has really good pizza and really good steak and cheese, and you get free french fries. I don't think I have ever spent more than 6 dollars at this place. If you bring a 10 dollar bill and 4 ones, they will take the ones over the 10 because more dollars means more money. The price is amazi...

It was a cool scene and an upscale atmosphere. Very nicely located and close to the ART so we went before our show. Some of the dinners were excellent, sadly mine was not. There were some extraordinarily odd squid ink gnocchi in my dish that were just awful. My husband's fish was delicate and wonder...

A Cambridge treasure! The lobster bisque is so delicious with lots of lobstah!!! The bisque is poured tableside into a shallow bowl containing lobster, pearl onions and nasturtium leaves. The venison is also expertly prepared. The mocha eclairs is a wonderful dessert choice. I can close my eyes and ...

The food was fantastic! I would have given them 5 stars, except that we waited an hour and a half after ordering to get our lunch. We didn't even notice until an hour in because we were having good conversation, but then it got ridiculous. Surprisingly they did not even apologize.

Service seemed professional but became less friendly as soon as we did not order enough in their taste (eg they brought our bill before we even finished the dessert). On 'apologizing' that we were bad guests, the waiter responded 'we didn't kick you out'. Food was good, but burrata was more a sad sm...

Came here for brunch, there weren't a lot of options on the menu, but I really enjoyed what I ordered! I had the biscuits and chorizo gravy and it was delicious! I wasn't a fan of their Bloody Mary but I can picky about those so that wasn't a huge deal. The atmosphere is a little formal.

At our first visit to the venerable Harvest in many years, we were thoroughly pleased by new chef Tyler Kinnett's divinely balanced Gazpacho appetizer ($14) w/snappy lobster, avocado, lime creme fruit and mint and his flavor-laden Roobos Tea Marinated Duck Breast ($34) w/black rice, blackberries, pi...

Upscale restaurant catering to area professionals. Nice for business lunches and dinners. Tucked away off of Brattle Street, so can be hard to find. Parking is challenging in Harvard Square, but the MBTA red line Harvard Square subway station is very close by.

After a really horrible weekday lunch service experience a few years ago I gave it another try, this time for a warm spring Sunday brunch. The food as before was decent but unremarkable. The service was slow but acceptable. The setting was perfect in the outdoor patio.

Came for restaurant week.

Potentially the best deal of the week(s): $15 for a 1/2 glass of wine, $30 for a full glass paired with each course. We got the half glass, which was more like a full glass at most restaurants, so it was more than enough.

For a starter I had the corn and ricotta ravio...

The Scituate Lobster Bisque started off my devine dinner. So they plate the lobster meat chunks, pearl onions, and lobster roe dumplings in a shallow bowl... AND THEN THE WAITER POURS THE BISQUE OVER IT. It was creamy rich and flavorful. I could have eaten a gallon! My main course was the Roasted Lo...

We visited Harvest for lunch on Thanksgiving.
Harvest Thanksgiving lunch menu is quite popular, as we learnt from follow diners who have been visiting this place for a decade or so.
Our experience, however, was a tad bit underwhelming. To start off, we were given a choice between waiting for 15-20...

I have to say this place has been hit or miss for me. The first time I came here, I was pretty disappointed food and service wise. I love the location and the fact that it is a little more upscale, I love to dress up! The first time I came here was pretty disappointed with our dishes, nothing that s...

As two vegetarians going out on a date, we thought the farm to table creative cuisine would have a few good options for us. We ordered the uovo raviolo & tortellini. While the ragout that the raviolo was served on was very tasty, we were kind of let down by the two dishes we ordered. I'm pretty sure...

I found this place using Google and I was pleasantly surprised. When you enter you'd probably think everything will be overpriced because of how fancy the decor is and how exceptional the service is, but that's far from the truth. This is a perfect brunch spot with delicious food and wonderful servi...

The main courses were up next. My friend had the Bay of Fundy salmon, while I had the marinated pork loins. If you had to choose between the two, go for the salmon. The pork was quite boring. The salmon, by contrast, had a beautifully crispy skin, and a good amount of flavor. Still, both dishes were...

Brunch was excellent and their protocols/ spacing and cleaning re: covid was very reassuring. The food was amazing and we felt safe eating in the dining room. Versus a recent capital grill experience which was over crowded and too closely sat. We plan to return soon to harvest. So impressed!

My mother was in town for one day to visit my cousin and I at Harvard. I called a week ahead to make a reservation, and when I showed up they had no reservation. I m extremely disappointed in how we were treated and how they turned us away without making a true effort to accommodate us. I will never...

This is a great place to go to if you like creamy, cheesy, very heavy American food.

It is a bad place to go if you want a vegetable rich meal or have dietary restrictions, because they will not make any but minor adjustments. I got some roasted potatoes as a substitution, but they were boiled an...

Very rarely do I feel inclined to review businesses, but the service at Harvest was extremely deserving of a positive review. We had brunch there, and when a part of our meal was made slightly not to the way we had wanted it (which we were still ok with), the staff went over and above to bring us a ...

You get what you pay for, and if you can find Harvest, you get - and pay for - a lot.

Harvest is in this secluded little space, and the service and decor are both wonderful.

I had the pork rib appetizer, which was a little tough, but it was delicious underneath. My entree was the salmon specia...

We made our first visit to Harvest for a special occasion, which was noted on the reservation but not acknowledged by the restaurant. I can only think our waiter was untrained, as any alternative would be inexcusable. We had to request the ability to order everything from drinks to entrees. After wa...

I recently had a late night dinner at Harvest after a play at the ART and it was as fabulous as it has always been. To start with, the fresh Italian (or French) bread was delicious and I almost filled up on it, but fortunately left room for a perfectly seasoned fresh green salad with feta and an inc...

Have been to Harvest numerous times over the years. It may well have the most consistent, highest quality (and tastiest) menu in the greater Boston area. I've simply never had anything less than a fantastic meal there with flawless service. A must if you are doing a family-related celebration dinner...
