    For Valentine's Day we visited Harvest Beat for Dinner. For those not familiar, Harvest Beat is a vegan restaurant located in the Wallingford neighborhood offering seasonal multi-course dinners. The multi-Course Dinner included alcoholic or non-alcoholic options. The dinner started with '18 Six Atmospheres Blanc De Blanc 100% chardonnay (Woodinville,WA ) and the Harvest Beat Hot Chocolate Oat Cinnamon Agave Urfa biber Cayenne option. The 1st and 2nd Courses were plated together) and included Hickory smoked potato chowder alongside a pinenut wasabi crème glazed roasted beet poke salad, topped with ponzu marinated wakame, and finished with toasted sesame seeds accompanied by, '23 Sigillo Cellars 100% Viognier (Snoqualmie,Wa.) and the non-alcoholic option Lemongrass Ginger Ice Tea. The 3rd Course included Curry, butternut squash, pumpkin seed paneer on a toasted cumin black lentil daal finished with a garam masala apple and pear chutney topped with purple potato chips. This course was accompanied by '21 Sparkman Cellars "Outlaw" Merlot (Woodinville,Wa.) and the non-alcoholic option, Apple Arugula Rose Chamomile Lemon Myrtle Sparkling Elixir. The 4th Course was Spinach, caramelized onion, roasted black trumpet mushroom, cashew cheese filled crepe with roasted carrots and fingerling potatoes, on a saffron cream sauce finished with toasted slivered almonds. This was accompanied by '23 Sigillo Cellars 100% Syrah ( Snoqualmie,Wa.) and the non-alcoholic option Pear Carrot Basil Apple Cider Vinegar Milk Thistle Holy Basil Dandelion root sparkling elixir. The final course, Red velvet chocolate lava cake with raspberry coconut whip cream accompanied by '23 El Aziz "Fina" 100% Late Harvest Grillo ( Sicily, Italy) and non-alcoholic Harvest Beat Tea Blend. Delicious people!! Compliments to the kitchen for exquisite plate presentation and making vegetables taste so good. The beverage pairings both alcohol and non were on point. The servers were knowledgeable and welcoming!

    I'm so happy harvest beat is staying strong to their roots no matter how hard it is to be a small business in Seattle. My second time visiting- first was an anniversary and this time my birthday. As a vegan and for my husband a non vegan, it's as close to a Seattle Michelin Star food experience as you could get. Honestly, I nominate them! (And , yes, I've been to one, check my Eleven Madison Yelp Review). Seattle has none and for good reason, however here, they're different. They don't shy away from any challenge. An ambitious menu that updates per the season , like every ~3 weeks. And using the real definition of farm to table with all ingredients from a 100 mile radius! With all that being said, service & food are top notch! Thursday - Sunday 7:00pm reservations only 5 course pre-planned vegan experience. Friendly inviting chefs including their kitchen welcome the guests. Full drink list with option to pair spritzers or wine. My food review; spectacular attention to details. The plating. The colors. The savory to sweet . We started with a warm soup to a refreshing salad and slowly worked to our hardy main dish with meaty mushrooms and creamy potatoes. We had a wonderful experience. I look forward to my next visit and highly recommend.

    Menu, $135 + tax + tip per person regardless of Alcohol or Non-Alcohol pairing

    TLDR: overpriced especially if you don't drink alcohol. For us it's an one-visit experience worth checking out but not returning. Brought my partner here for his birthday celebration. We were excited to try a vegetarian-centric fine dining experience. As many other reviewers have mentioned, they start serving courses to all tables at the same time, so all parties at the restaurant start dinner at the same time. Service was welcoming and friendly, but not attentive enough for the price you are paying... As soon as most tables have arrived, the staff started serving us drinks. My partner and I don't drink alcohol, so we got served some very creative colorful non-alcohol drinks to start with. As each course was served, they were paired with different drinks. For alcohol pairing, it was wine, for non-alcohol pairing, it was various colorful sugary drinks. All the courses of food were beautifully plated, with interesting ideas, pretty good taste, and high-quality ingredients. My partner as a vegetarian who always had limited options when dining out was quite satisfied and pleasantly surprised by the dishes. I was more impressed by their creativity and their local sourcing policy. However, neither of us were happy that we were charged the same price as patrons who had alcohol pairing. Alcohol is way pricier than N/A sugary drinks is a common knowledge, and I believe Harvest Beat used to charge less for N/A pairing. Both of us felt like we were forced to take in lots of liquid sugar just so they can charge us the same price as people who drink alcohol. The amount of sugary drinks served started impacting my appetite and experience towards the end of the dinner. It felt like an overkill. The service, as I mentioned earlier, was good, but nothing up to the expectation I had from the price tag. For $135 + tax and tipping per person, the service was mediocre. Nothing more than what you'd get at a casual sit-down restaurant.

    If you want to have a very UNIQUE and DIFFERENT experience go here. But if you're not generally into Vegan food, don't go here for the food lol. But I'd say it's definitely worth going for the experience you get - they only serve once a day and they serve all parties once they have arrived and seated altogether. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Sort of an intimate experience with strangers (but not in a bad way).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] For not being vegan nor even liking vegetarian food much, the food wasn't BAD. But again, you don't go for the food you go for the experience.

    A wonderful experience for plant-based folks and omnivores alike. I had been wanting to dine at Harvest Beat for a while, and I'm so happy that I finally got the chance--the food is thoughtful, flavorful, and filling, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the atmosphere is cozy[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], and service was great! When you walk in the door, you're greeted with the option to start off the evening with wine or an elixir (non-alcoholic beverage). Each course comes with a pairing, which adds another level of excitement to the menu. My boyfriend and I opted for one wine pairing and one elixir pairing, so that we could share and try both, which I recommend if you do partake in adult beverage consumption. I know mocktails may not seem the most appealing, but these drinks were refreshing, well-balanced, and paired exceptionally well with each course... dare I say I enjoyed them a little more than the wine! [[HIGHLIGHT]]We chose to sit at the "bar" area, overlooking the kitchen, which I also highly recommend. Watching the chefs plate each course was a lot of fun![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food itself was seasonal, interesting, full of flavor, and yes, the portions overall were quite generous... I normally am able to finish my meals when out, but had to have some assistance with the main course and dessert. Although all of the food was good, the smoky potato chowder served alongside a unique roasted beet poke salad was by far my favorite. That chowder has to be one of the best soups I've ever had! My boyfriend isn't the biggest fan of beets but devoured his and asked for some of mine. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The playlist was both calming and uplifting, the lighting was just right, and each course came out with impeccable timing--we didn't feel rushed, yet we weren't waiting too long between each course.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The menu changes regularly, so I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying another lovely dining experience and having the opportunity to try more creative plant-based dishes, hopefully in the near future.

    We've been vegetarian/vegan for years, and have avoided fine dining/set experiences like this because the price point often came from the meat offerings. Not here!! And for non-drinkers, note that imo the non-alcoholic elixirs were even better than the wine pairings! But both were spot on. Every item was so fresh and clearly seasonal. The staff was kind and on top of things. This was our first time doing anything like this, and it was truly phenomenal. I didn't know how these things worked so imma write it out for ppl in the same boat: -[[HIGHLIGHT]]like a normal restaurant, except everyone eats the same things at the same time bc you're all booked for 7 pm[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -can get there early to pick your preferred table, they give you set drinks while you wait, we got there at 645 and were the first table whoops! -chef came out ~720 to explain the origin of the meals -servers bring out the paired drink and food to each table one course at a time -[[HIGHLIGHT]]you don't interact with other tables, literally like any other restaurant[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -pay at the end. With tax & 20% tip it was $178 per person. We left plenty full too! Hoping to do this at least once a year. So much fun, a truly special anniversary experience.

    Harvest Beat has a prix-fixe menu with wine or non-alcoholic pairing. The entire restaurant is seated at 7PM and served each course at the same time. This means that if one table is late, the entire restaurant does not get started until everyone arrives. The chef(s) will go over the menu, usually consisting of many local and seasonal produce, with the entire room. My favorite courses were the salad and soup. The salad had the freshest greens with fun toppings like kumquats and a unique beet-and-yogurt dressing. The soup was a stinging nettles and miso bisque. Who ever thought of combining stinging nettles and miso?! Both the salad and the soup were delicious. The seeded cracker added a nice crunch. I was less impressed with the other courses. The samosa was good, but not necessarily better than ones I have had at Indian restaurants. The Vietnamese crepe was served like a taco, so I wasn't sure if I should eat it like a taco or with a knife and fork. I saw the other guests use a knife and fork, so I did too, but the crepe was very hard (as a taco shell would be) and difficult to cut through (1 star off). The maitake mushroom filling for the crepe/taco/whatever was overly salty (1 star off). The required drink pairings were nice individually, but they did not seem to go well with each course. For example, the stinging nettles-miso soup had a peach-cardamom-coconut drink pairing. The peach-cardamom-coconut drink was a delicious smoothie, but I don't think it worked well with a umami-rich soup. For dessert, the galub jamum had a foul odor, almost like sweat (1 star off). I think the dough must have been old or spoiled. I didn't want to complain because I did not want to stay any longer. For $135/person, I had expected much more. It was a shame that the food decreased in quality as the courses progressed.

    The courses were all flavorful! My favorites were the spanakopita and soup. The non alcoholic drinks were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed them. My husband enjoyed the alcoholic choices as well. The lands cake didn't escalope have the melted lava that we were expecting but the cake was alright. The whole experience takes at least 2 hours. We arrived around 6:55p and dinner starts around 7:05. We left around 9:30 or so. [[HIGHLIGHT]]I loved the decor in the bathrooms and they are kept clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The tables felt intimate and they even provided coloring sheets and crayons for my 4 year old.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Very kind staff!

    Wanted to love it. My husband is vegan and we eat a lot of veggie/plant-forward dishes. The concept of Harvest Beat is right up our alley, but for us the reality didn't live up to the hype. The non-alcoholic elixir pairings were our favorite part, with the oat milk chai being our top pick from those. The service was very warm and welcoming. The dishes weren't tastier than what we've made for ourselves at home, and at times the execution was not great (like dry, tough fingerling potatoes). I think they had a new chef recently start on at the time, so maybe they have gotten back into a groove now. Nit picky things that not everyone will care about: I wish that instead of reading the entire menu off word-for-word during the introduction, the host had briefly described each dish just before it was served, perhaps with a bit of information that couldn't be found on the menu. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Speaking of the menu, it kind of floated around on our very small table for 2 and we struggled to keep it out of the way while eating (they do not collect them for service).[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The diners next to us opted to place theirs on the floor.

    Went here for my spouse's birthday. I was satisfied--up until the main course. That's where things started to go downhill. The first and second courses (served together) were a delight. The soup had nettle in it, which gave it a surprising kick I really enjoyed. The salad was equally fresh and well-balanced. The third course--a creative take on a samosa--was flavorful and well-executed. Definitely a highlight. The fourth course was their spin on a Vietnamese crepe, but it fell flat for me. The portion was too small to be satisfying, and the vegan fish sauce had a very off-putting taste that overshadowed the dish. I was genuinely disappointed. Dessert was a twist on gulab jamun. Maybe it's my Indian tastebuds, but the jamun itself was far too hard--I had to wait nearly 10 minutes before I could even get into it. The rose syrup was thin and didn't add much, but the ice cream was a saving grace. Infused with cardamom and spices, it tasted just like chai and was absolutely divine. We opted for the non-alcoholic drink pairings and were pleasantly surprised--they were creative, well-thought-out, and complemented the meal nicely. [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, small things added to the letdown. For example, the toilet flush was constantly leaking--something that took away from the otherwise upscale atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it's a good restaurant with clear creative ambition, but the experience didn't justify the $350 price tag for me. Great for novelty or a one-time visit, but not somewhere I'd return often.

    Pricey.. with tip it was $300 for 2. BUT... the dinner was phenomenal. The asparagus soup was a 10. The bread and hummus a 10, the mushroom paella a 9 . The mixed salad a 10. The thing that fell flat for me was the dessert but my wife had no problem eating mine

We shared a bunch of appetizers: bolani, burta, and the mushroom qorma. Burta was my fav but every single dish was so flavorful. For my mains, I got the murgh kebab.. the chicken was so tender and well-marinated but the flavored rice stole the show for me. Also the place feels super authentic, cozy, warm, not trying too hard, just real. And the owner was hilarious, so witty, and made the whole experience feel extra special. You can tell he cares and it shows. Now the saddest part: I just found out this restaurant has been around for decades and is closing forever soon. Truly heartbreaking! I really wish I'd discovered it sooner. If you've been meaning to go, don't wait. This spot is a gem and def deserves a visit before it's gone. FYI, it closes on Jan 3rd 2026!

This was my first time trying Afghan food so I was excited to see what the cuisine offers. We got the combination kebab for 2 (2 red meats - lamb and beef, $100) which is basically a full set course menu and a fish qorma as another entree as there was 3 of us. The combination kebab is definitely more than enough food for 2, as the 3 of us shared that plus one entree and we were all stuffed. Ash - traditional noodle soup with kidney beans and chickpeas. I like the salty and slightly tangy aspect of the soup and it definitely whet my appetite for what is to come. Badenjan Borani - eggplant. I don't like eggplant but found the taste of this to be delicious. It is a bit on the mushier side for my liking though Fish qorma - fish was cooked nicely in a tomato based sauce Seekh kebab - beef. I didn't really like this one as much since the meat was tough but the flavor was great. Bara kebab - lamb. I love this one as it was juicier and more flavorful Kabuli palaw - the rice dish that comes with the kebab. I love this - it's like jeweled rice from Iranian and Persian cuisine, which offers carbs and a bit of sweetness to it. Pairs excellently with the dishes Firni - cardamom, pistachio, rosewater pudding. Classic Afghan dessert. Quite sweet but refreshing at the same time. Love it Dogh - an interesting salty drink made with yogurt, fresh mint, and salt. It felt like I was drinking sauce but more palatable. Service is good as dishes were taken out in good cadence and food came out at a decent pace.

It definitely piqued my interest and was duly bookmarked. I had an opportunity to check it out with fellow Yelp Elite/IGer, Carol C (3/18/26). I was able to get a last minute reservation confirmed via email. Both of us were able to get zoned street parking along N 45th. This restaurant is also accessible via Metro. We were seated by Tim, the owner, at a two top by the front entrance. He was very welcoming, personable, and charming. An aside, read the background info about how the restaurant came to be from their website and additional cool details about the owner, restaurateur, and author. The interior transformation was pleasant vibe. There were other tables aligned along one wall. The remaining seating were along a banquette. There's also limited seating at the bar towards the back. Great ambiance, however, it does get rather loud once the restaurant fills up, just saying. Wine, of course, is available by the glass or bottle. There are other beverages like beer and NA choices, but no tea/coffee service. Happy hour specials are also available. Tim provided us the low down on the featured daily specials and gave us enough time to peruse the menu. It's one of those menus that had so many pleasing options. We split the Piatto Misto which was a great way to sample various app offerings including fresh burrata, an Italian meatball, sliced prosciutto & other Italian meats, and two bruschettas - tomato and mushroom. We both agreed that the meatball was the standout. Carol chose the Pasta del Giorno which featured farfalle with mushrooms, broccolini, in a cream sauce with added Italian sausage. I selected the Pasta Salsiccia which had linguine with Italian sausage, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, in a tomato cream sauce. Both pasta mains were rich and generous, that the both of us took home halves of our respective entrees to save room for dessert. For dessert, I went with my fave tiramisu and Carol had the chocolate mousse. Tiramisu was delicious that I cleaned out my serving glass. It was definitely an enjoyable experience and were onsite for nearly 2.5 hours. Well attended to and not rushed. With how costly it can get dining out in Seattle, it's a great to find a place that is easy going, has great variety, and reasonably priced. Recommended for an approachable, quality dining experience. Grazie mille, Tim!

The dishes are sharable portions and paired well with wine. I'd recommend trying this place out!

The Beef Pho is hands down my favorite dish here and one of my favorite meals to order. I also branched out and tried their Pad Thai, and it was just as amazing. One of the reasons I love this place so much is the people. Every time I came in, I was greeted with a smile and made to feel welcome. Over time, I became close with the manager because of how often I visited, and those friendly interactions made this restaurant feel even more like home. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and helpful, which made every visit even better. I recently brought my family here on my last day in Seattle, and they absolutely loved it. As someone who was often far from home, I'm so grateful this restaurant was close to campus. It gave me a place to enjoy my comfort food whenever I was feeling homesick, and it became one of my favorite spots in Seattle. Thank you for all the delicious meals during my year in Seattle.

Service is incredibly fast once you place an order, and the space inside is pretty decent sized and never gets too full or crowded, so you'll always find a table. Love the Singapore noodles and Pho options. Portion sizes are also very large for the price, a single dish will literally give me two meals haha. Great spot that I'll keep coming back to!

    We've been a couple of times and been blown away by the quality of the food. These are really the…read morebest tacos we've had in Seattle. I got the El Dorado tacos and they were so good. My wife got the chorizo. Even the rice and beans that we got for our kid was so flavorful, never thought I'd leave a review about the rice at a restaurant but here I am. The horchata was delicious too. The owner was so nice and friendly. They have little outdoor area in front which I'm sure will be popular in the summertime. They have a sit down indoor area and you can order at a takeout counter if you want. This is really a hidden gem in Wallingford!

    Picked up to-go from this little taco spot in Fremont, Seattle, and it was a hit!…read more Taco El Lago is an unassuming taco shop serving up tacos, quesadillas, and other Mexican staples. We ordered some carne asada tacos and a chicken quesadilla. The wait was reasonable, and the gentleman taking orders was super friendly. There are a few tables inside if you'd prefer to eat in. The tacos were super fresh and very tasty. They had plenty of meat, and it was perfectly seasoned. Slightly greasy but not so much as to ruin the flavor. I was very impressed with the quesadilla too. It was loaded with chicken and was ultra-flavorful. The green salsa was also great. Honestly, I am sure there is better Mexican food in Seattle, but this place hit the spot, and I really enjoyed it. Nothing bad to say here. Great location in Fremont, close to many things. Grab food here and take the short walk over to Fremont Brewing to accompany your tacos with a beer!
