The atmosphere of this restaurant is so good, quiet and relaxing, perfect for a date night or a small group of friends gathering. We went in on the Valentine’s night so the menu was a special 4 course menu. The taste of the food could’ve been better but we enjoyed the experience. Service was also great, although every waiter/waitress seemed super busy because of many customers but they remained very professional and friendly.

Great restaurant! The food was phenomenal. The venison was so tender. The pasta was so tasty and unique. And even though we got a more modestly priced bottle of wine, it was delicious! I haven’t had wine that good in a long time! Hope to come back during the warmer months to enjoy that back patio!

This spot is always a favorite — if not for the food, then certainly for the atmosphere. The service is consistently impeccable, and the menu offers a wonderful range of choices, from vegetarian dishes to meats and fish. On this visit, we started with the salad topped with goat cheese croquettes, which was divine, and the roast chestnut agnolotti. For our mains, we both chose fish — the swordfish and the halibut. The swordfish was excellent, though the halibut was just slightly overcooked. I continue to enjoy going here but because it is pricey it is only for special occasions for me.

I have never been here before and was invited to a wedding. The restaurant set back from the street, which is nice. The back room is quaint and isolated from the main dining area, which is wonderful for a private event.
The beets & Goat cheese was fresh and mouth watering, just perfect. The potato soup was good, I prefer it a little thicker and more bacon in it. The main course I chose was steak, and it was cooked perfectly but it was not very warm ( it’s hard for a large number of people I understand).
The steak came with a bed of mashed potatoes and green beans, which were both delicious.
I will definitely make it back for a family dinner, the food & experience overall was great.

Solid dining in an upscale space (4 stars). But taking away one star for a (big) pet peeve of mine that Harvest was guilty of – high end restaurants charging premium prices for glasses of wine should bring out the bottle and pour at the table – if you’re charging me $30+ for a premium glass of wine and boasting about your Wine Spectator designations, then I should get to see the bottle you’re claiming to pour.

The food was delicious, well prepared and beautifully presented. The Mille Feuille was particularly exciting. The pricing was reasonable. The only minor issue was the (tap?) water with ice on a cold, snowy day.

The service by Ruben was excellent. Went for Sunday brunch. Sourdough toast under the eggs Benedict was old on my order, burned on the other order in my party. This restaurant would be better for a regular lunch or a dinner. I feel like brunch is what they didn’t sell all week. Dessert was spectacular!

My wife and I tried Harvest for the first time with the dine out Boston Restaurant Week special. This was a nice value at $55 each for an appetizer, entree, and dessert. We went as a party of four as a double date with friends of ours.
Atmosphere was nice. We both enjoyed our food. My wife especially liked the risotto she had for her first course. She also appreciated the spirit free mocktail options on the drink menu.
Would recommend.

Pretty good place, duck and chicken were okay, but not great. Gnocchi was too soft. Potions were very small especially the ice cream. Service was strange, dishes came out right away and we felt rushed but there were very few people there. Did they not want us? Felt very overpriced in the end.

We came here for our Anniversary dinner and the atmosphere was very pretty. For starters we ordered the fries and French onion soup. The fries were amazing and I’d highly recommend but I wouldn’t recommend the soup. It was too chunky and lacked base. For my entree I got the seared salmon and it was delicious. The salmon was cooked perfectly with a crispy skin and I loved the mushrooms. Our waitress was very attentive and I’d recommend coming here for a fancy dinner!
