    1975 Tower
    Jessica B.

    I had dinner at Harvest recently for a small family reunion. It's somewhat dim inside, as to be expected with more upscale restaurants. We ordered all our dishes to share with each other as we traditionally eat "family style". We ordered the 1975 Tower and chicken consumé as appetizers. I particularly enjoyed the crab salad. For entrees, we got the ribeye, salmon, swordfish, and duck. They were all enjoyable. The duck was my personal favorite; it was still pink on the inside and juicy. The waitstaff was incredibly attentive and accommodating to us, especially given that my aunt has multiple dietary restrictions.

    Fried Chicken & Cornbread

    Great space once you find it- entrance is tucked away off Brattle Street. Love the heated patio area - comfortable even in ~35f degree weather. Brunch was good- enjoyed the steak and eggs, crispy panfried salmon over bed of salad (salad was a bit overdressed but the salmon with super crispy skin made up for it), crispy calamari with Thai chili sauce, and fried chicken with corn bread. The lattes were good but wish it was a tad bigger. Overall pleasant experience.

    This restaurant is hidden near Harvard Square. It took a little for us to find it. We had the tasting menu that was $125 a person. The menu seemed promising. The tasting menu is quite filling but I found it a little disappointing. The crudo was not bad, although I found that all of the toppings were a tad overwhelming. The potato cheese "pie" (?) was a little thick. And the ice cream part of the dessert was a bit gritty. We also expected more mushroom in the risotto. Overall the ambiance is a date night vibe, i would recommend trying this restaurant but it was a little pricey for what they were serving.

    Can't go wrong with Harvest! I've been here many times and I always find myself coming back. I love coming here during the summer/spring time because they open up the windows to the patio and you can sit outside. -I highly recommend their lobster roll with their homemade chips. -carrot cake: I was kind of expecting a regular piece of carrot cake but this was definitely more exciting and fun to eat. It looked and tasted great. -clam/seafood bake: this was part of restaurant week. Was tasty! -strawberry rhubarb sorbet: not a huge fan of rhubarb but it was refreshing. -citrus salad: the citrus pieces were so sweet and paired well with the rest of the salad

    Salmon

    Definitely an upscale place where people dress up. I was definitely not dressed for the occasion and yet all staff members were still very kind and attentive. It was pretty packed for a Tuesday night but service was still quick and my food was phenomenal! I got the salmon and it was delicious. I also enjoyed my cocktail. I came here in March but could see that they had a beautiful outdoor space. I will definitely be coming back in the summer to sit outside and enjoy this place again.

    Eggplant escalivada

    Came for Dine Out Boston lunch! Tbh not all the deals are great (i.e. you're better off ordering off the normal menu), but Harvest's is. Lunch was very tasty and definitely worth at $32 for 3 courses. Great service and relaxed upscale environment. * Free cornbread was yummm * Apps: green bean tempura, escalivada. Preferred the green beans, came with a great avocado sauce. * Entrees: shrimp linguini, short rib quesadilla. The shrimp and sauce were good, noodles just average. Skip the quesadilla--little meat and cheese, weird flavor combo with pear. * Desserts: kiwi cheesecake, chocolate mandarin torte. The cheesecake was so light and fresh. My friend hated the torte but I thought it was good lol. Very rich.

    Came here on a weeknight for a work dinner and we had a great time - good food, decent service, and nice ambiance. We had a larger party with a reservation and getting seated/situated wasn't an issue at all. Service was on the slower side, but they also were pretty attentive so perhaps there was just a lag due to the number of people in our party. The menu had a good mix of dishes to satisfy any sort of craving, although the portions were pretty small for the price and weren't super high quality. Nonetheless, things were tasty and we enjoyed the meal overall - I probably wouldn't come back unless it was a special event, but we had a nice time! Thanks, Harvest!

    seafood tower
    Tori C.

    touted by my father as "julia child's favorite restaurant in boston", we came here on a rainy saturday to celebrate my brother's birthday. harvest is tucked away and is a little difficult to find but the interior is very classy and has nice soundproofing on the ceiling so the ambiance is never too noisy, which is good in a busy restaurant. my family is unfortunately difficult to serve (think of 8 italian americans all talking over each other, and changing their orders as they hear what the others have to say!), so the service provided by the staff was excellent to accomodate for their high energy. the food was pretty good - this is new american, so you know i'm not going to give it a high rating, but it was pretty good. i was satisfied with the seafood tower, the greek yogurt parfait, and the fried chicken and cornbread. i snuck some fries and those were yummy. overall a good spot and it was enjoyable for the whole family, but i don't know if julia child was easy to please or if this was a different place back in the day. either way, good - but typical and expensive - new american brunch fare.

    Hello Jen B. Sorry for the delayed response. Reservations are not required, but always a very good idea. Our restaurant is not huge, so I would recommend calling to make a reservation. 617.868.2255, Hope to see you soon!

Shame on me for finishing this cumulative review now. The good news is every visit was solid. I've been here as a small and also large party. Sat at both the bar and table.

It's free. From bar to tables to booths, you're covered with seating. Can they serve a table for ten? Maybe but I wouldn't be that person. Check ahead of time. Drinks are strong. Sometimes sweet but mostly balanced. Food is yummy. Plenty of vegetarian and vegan options clearly marked on the menu.
