I was eagerly anticipating my meal at Harvest. It came highly recommended, the menu on the restaurant's website looked inventive and tasty, and the location ( walking distance to the Harvard Square T stop ) was perfect for a cold night. I have to give the place 4 dots based on my salad alone. Duck confit and watercress with a... more

It was a windy, warm October night and I was in from Washington for a meeting and decided to meet my Cambridge resident sister at Harvest. We had been there together in 1970 and had fond memories of this restaurant. Sitting beneath the former Marimekko store and now Crate and Barrle, the Harvest neon sign belies the elegance inside the... more

How is this place still in business? I went as part of a large group on Saturday night and not one person at my table liked their entree. When entrees are over $30 they should ALL be good. So, perhaps it was because I was part of a large group (12) but I can't see how this place is making... more

Great ceviche, delicious soft-shell crab with large cous cous. Good size portions. Oddly long waiting in between courses though. Desserts could be more inventive, but I'm the kind of person who will try onion ice cream, so...Definitely worth trying. more

The Harvest Restaurant in Cambridge, MA was a long time favorite of our family. The service always impeccable and the food always outstanding. We recently visited this favorite for Sunday Brunch for a special occasion. The food was delicious an the service wonderful; we thoroughly enjoyed our meals. However, 5 hours later (just before dinner) one of us that had... more

Wow, I feel I need to write a review to counter the negative reviews that were written in 2006 and 2005 - all I can say is, if you haven't been to Harvest in a while, consider giving it another chance. This has become one of our favorite dining spots in Harvard Square. It's not cheap (if it's cheap, delicious... more

Harvest has been through what must be several instantiations since I first ate there in the 1970s. I just had an early evening dinner there on a visit to the area. The current version provided an excellent meal with very good service and ambiance. The decor features dark wood, an open kitchen, and what looks like a comfortable bar that... more

This a horrible restaurant. We went for Restaurant Week and learned after we had been seated that they did not offer the special prix fixe deal on Saturday nights. This, I pointed out, was not clearly indicated on their publicity for the event and that, in fact, the material I had (and showed them) was down right misleading. The hostess... more

This is my first review as I am neither a foodie nor a writer, but my Sunday brunch at The Harvest Restaurant in Cambridge was so disappointing. After all the glowing internet restaurant reviews, I feel compelled to share my recent experience. The fried dough was a burned brick-not even the teenagers at our table would eat it. My entree,... more
