What People Are Saying About Harvest
Featured Review
Eric Grossman
Contributor
The Scene – A local institution since 1975, Harvest has long been the go-to spot for Cambridge luminaries and visiting academics in search of seasonal, upscale New England cuisine. The interior, all warm woods and muted browns, befits the restaurant's name, and the handsome, clandestine bar provides one of Harvard Square's most romantic date spots. Informed, polite servers are well-versed in the menu's many intricate ingredients (Guanchala, Mejoul dates). – – The Food – With a menu that's dotted with local products (Block Island swordfish, Wellfleet clams), and classic…
Editor's Tips
- When to Go:
- In-the-know area workers enjoy upscale lunch fare like a griddled Vermont goat cheese sandwich or an exceptional burger, made with certified Angus beef and served with flavorful homemade fries.
- Where to Sit:
- Summertime, seats on the sunny back patio are in demand (reservations are strongly recommended).
- What to Drink:
- Harvest's well-chosen wine list includes several hard-to-find American varietals, many of which are available by the half bottle.

Fantastic Elegant Luncheon with Work Staff
by Linda02148 at Citysearch
We had made a reservation a few days ago (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED) for 13 of us from work. Our table was waiting for us and the drink order was taken pretty quickly. With the large party we had they brought over two servers to take our orders and everything came out fantastic! On this very cold day, even sitting near the window, it was extremely cozy. Most comments I received from my group was wow what a presentation and the portions. A+++++ In our book
- Pros: Cozy, Warm, attention to detail and delicious food
- Cons: We found none

simply great
by dizzy02138 at Citysearch
Very simply, delicious food and attentive wait staff. We went during restaurant week so it was very busy and had a more electic crowd than usual... but it definitely didn't disappoint.
- Pros: awesome food and service
- Cons: a little pricey

Worst Restaurant Service I have ever experienced.
by jeffcoh100 at Citysearch
My wife and I were seated at Harvest Restaurant at 7PM as per our reservation on a Saturday night through Open Table. We were there with a gift card from our daughter for our 35th wedding anniversary. We got up to leave after 20 minutes when no waiter had yet come to the table. The room was half full at best and a ll other staff avoided eye contact. The hostess reacted by saying, "What do we have to do to have you dine with us". Not looking to negotiate, but just looking for a good meal on our special occasion, we left. Our 100 Open Table points were immediately deducted by the hostess even though we had been seated. Open Table, reinstated the points without any questions. Horrible and insensitive service by Harvest.

stay away during restaurant week
by hennasmom at Citysearch
I was looking forward to dinner as we have enjoyed restaurant week meals at many the local restaurants. This was the worst ever. Under-ripe tasteless heirloom tomatoes, the toughest pork loin chop I have tasted (probably due to keeping it on a steam table), mashed potatoes that could not have been made that day since they tasted like a refrigerator, mushy tasteless veggies served with a passable swordfish and unremarkable desserts - what was that jelly stuff under the sorbet?. We even complained about the pork to our waitress with no satisfacation or even acknowledgement from management. Maybe the staff was tired of preparing the same featured meal for 1 1/2 weeks and it showed. We will not be returning at any time.
- Pros: ?
- Cons: awful parking, uninteresting decor and noisy
