Harvest Vine truly embraces the "small" in "small plates." Even the main course offerings are ridiculously and outrageously small. I cannot in good conscience recommend Harvest Vine; I left famished after an order that included bread, an appetizer, and a "main course" (which was the size of a small appetizer). BEWARE! read more

Delicious food, extremely well organized in a pleasant atmosphere with friendly staff. Consistently over the last three decades. What more do you want? My tip: snatch a seat at the bar and watch the cooks prepare the amazing food. read more

Food was great, although expensive for what you get. What really brought our experience down was the impersonal wait staff and sitting near an open exterior door when it was 56F outside. When I arrived at the hostess stand I was greeted with an annoyed look and "Do you have a reservation?" Our waiter seemed to be in a hurry and was all business - not what you'd expect from a restaurant with these reviews. We shivered through most of our meal and won't be back. read more

Romantic little tapas place with a lot of charm and great ambience makes for a great dining experience. As a tourist, I'm glad to have a friend who's now a local Seattlite to take me here! Everything was delicious. The seared scallops - buttery and perfectly cooked, the seared foie gras, squid braised in it's own ink, and the iberico pork - melts in your mouth. This place has the perfect recipe for a good time if you're looking for a fancy but relaxed meal. You won't regret coming here :) read more

Food: excellent Service: awesome I've had countless people recommend this spot and finally made it in last night for a Friday date night. Our experience from start to end was incredible! It's a semi small spot with upstairs for walk-in (no reservations) and downstairs for reservations only. We got super lucky and only waited 15 minutes but I think it's usually 30-60. Upstairs has an open kitchen and I highly recommend trying for a seat at the "bar" aka chef's counter. Make sure to check out the downstairs though, a very cool wine cellar vibe. We started with bread and the cheese plate, which had 4 different cheeses and a nut or spread pairing. I think these rotate so I won't comment on each but do recommend the dish! My boyfriend had been here before and recommended the beet salad "REMOLACHAS". I was hesitant because what makes a beet salad here so special? Well, I'm here to tell you that you are missing out if you don't get it. All of the food we got was excellent but this was thinly sliced and accented with incredible olive oil and garlic and oh man, would get this 10/10 times. We then had the PULPO A LA GALLEGO (octopus with potatoes) and it was cooked perfectly. The flavors compliment each other so well and the octopus was cooked so tenderly. We ended with the piquillo relleno (seasonal dish) which was filled with house made salted cod mouse. Since we sat at the chef's counter we we're fortunate enough to chat with the chef about his process for making it. Amazing how much time and pride goes into their work. Highly recommend this spot - a new favorite of mine in Seattle! read more

The food is delicious won't lie! The best flan I have ever had. The wait staff was nice but we order our food and they brought the bread appetizer out along with my husband's meal which we thought was odd. After about 20-30 I told him he should eat it before it gets cold. The waiter came back (nice guy) asked how everything was I said just to waiting for mine. He said oh I didn't know you ordered, I was a little sarcastic with my response and said well I would like dinner as well. After another 20/30 mins of waiting, I received mine. Ate quickly since I didn't want to be the only eating at this point. We were there for over an hour. But won't won't be going back. read more

I visited Harvest Vine as part of Seattle Restaurant week. First, the size of the place is deceiving. There is not much seating on the main floor when you come in, but a lot downstairs. They have a very interesting wine list, with many from Spain. The server helped me pick a good red from LA Mancha. For the first course I chose chorizo sausage. They had three kinds and all were good, particularly with the bread. For the main course, I had beef cheeks with potatoes. The beef was cooked very nicely. The potato was unique and pretty nice. The desserts was an almond cake that was delicious. Altogether, the food was good and a decent value. I will be back there again. I saw another table get a full baked trout that looked really nice that I think I will get next time. read more

A very nice Tapas bar! I went with a friend last year. The food is great and we had a good time. The service is also very good. The only pity is that we drove there and didn't even have a chance to experience their wine - which looked absolutely awesome. read more

So good. Beautiful cozy setting, wonderful service, and delicious Spanish tapas. We devoured every morsel and drop of sauce on our plates, from the authentic cheeses and sausages, to the iberico pork, tortilla, shrimp with a Romesco sauce, and the lovely desserts! What a great experience! We can't wait to visit the Harvest Vine again soon. read more

We found this place from a "top 100 of Seattle" blog. Unfortunately, I wasn't as impressed with this restaurant as the blogger that recommended. The service was very good, but the food felt average at best in most cases. I did genuinely enjoy the mushrooms, and the Rioja Alta wine was fantastic. However, the octopus and prawns was just very underwhelming -- felt like something I'd make at home on my first attempt at each dish. I'm happy to have marked this off my list, but I won't likely ever return. read more

I've been wanting to try Harvest Vine for a while and finally came for my significant other's birthday dinner. The food was all pretty decent, but not as amazing as I hoped it would be. We ordered the anchovies, bread, cauliflower, octopus, shrimp, clams, and pork. Of those items, the pork was the only item that really stood out to us. It's delicious and tender and we, for a second, forgot we were eating pork instead of steak. Other good dishes were the clams and shrimp, both of which had great sauces. A big disappointment was the octopus. It was tender but lacked flavor. In the end, I don't think I would return to Harvest Vine. The price is definitely too high for the taste read more

Came here with my SO for birthday dinner and I was quite happy with the dishes and ambience. This restaurant has been on my bookmark list for quite some time due to my love for Spanish cuisine and love for tapas. We moved from Philly a couple years ago and have yet to find a go to seriously good tapas place. Happy that we could add this to our list of go to places. We started the meal of with goat cheese and wine. For dishes we ordered the pulpo, sea bass, and a special oxtail with mashed potatoes. All the dishes cane out quite small but it is filling. We were really happy with the flavors and would definitely come back for special occasions as it is quite pricy. read more

Has a speakeasy feel to it since most of the restaurant is in the basement. Menu is mostly comprised with tapas and small mains meant for sharing. The food was mediocre. None of the flavors really stand out and the prices are quite high for what you're getting. Spent almost $80 per person and was quite hungry afterwards. None of the dishes left an impression. read more

The Harvest Vine is truly one of the most incredible restaurants in Seattle. The service, food and atmosphere are all excellent. They are very skilled with flavor - we especially loved the cured tuna loin, beet carpaccio, prawns with Spanish rice and the cauliflower (that green sauce changed my life). The service is very professional, we felt well taken care of the entire time. This is definitely a place to splurge and is absolutely worth it. read more

A very decent place from start to finish! We started off with beets salad (REMOLACHAS) and olives (TRES ACEITUNAS), absolutely tasty and refreshing, we all agreed it's one of the best beets we ever had. Under vegetables we also had mushrooms (CHAMPIÑONES) and egglant (BERENJENA); I think they taste good but not spectacular. Under seafood we had octopus (PULPO A LA GALLEGA), sea bass (LUBINA) and cod-potato mousse (PIQUILLO RELLENO DE BACALAO). Out of the 3, sea bass is definitely the most delicious and I highly recommend it. Octopus was highly expected to be good but I think chef forgot salt on our dish, it was cooked fine but totally bland. In meat, we got pork (IBÉRICO DE BELLOTA) and duck leg confit (PATO CONFITADO). Both of these are very tasty, the pork just took the spotlight out of all dishes. We ended the night with flan, and this also was very good as well. Very surprising to find a place that can score well for all categories! read more

Good tasting food albeit a bit pricey. Worth going to if you like Spanish style tapas.

Love this place! Excellent food and wine options, great ambiance. Recommend reservations. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars in that some portions are a little small for the price. read more

Tapas are my jam. I love ordering small plates and sharing it with people around me. Harvest Vine was absolutely the perfect place to come to for my brother's girlfriend's birthday with our family! It's perfect because this place is extremely cozy! Expect to be in a small space with lots of people around you during dinner time. But that's not a bad thing because it felt like you were enjoying a home cooked meal with your family! The menu wasn't extensive but they make up for it by having really quality dishes. Our server recommended the pig dish to us (I forgot what it's called) which was their signature dish and I have to say that it was by far my favorite! My second favorite would probably be a toss-up between the scallops and the foie gras. The foie was incredibly rich and decadent but we literally inhaled it in 2.5 seconds haha - it was that good! Besides the food, the ambience here is relaxed but more upscale. I wouldn't say that you need to dress up to come here but it's definitely more fancy than your typical Spanish restaurant. There's also a downstairs area that would be perfect for hosting an intimate get together with a larger party! The decor is also fantastic! It's a mix between rustic Spanish and Italian pieces. I would definitely come back to Harvest Vine in the future, and maybe even try out new dishes. My favorite part about this place is the diverse palette that their food offers - there's so many flavors infused into their dishes! By far one of my favorite tapas restaurant in Seattle, you gotta give this place a try! read more

Visited again after 2 years, it was very disappointing comparing to pre-covid. Food degraded a lot. All the dishes we ordered look and taste more like coming from a home kitchen than a restaurant. The flan desert's size shrunk 1/2 comparing to what we ordered last time. read more

Still a good spot, but last few times we have been there it has been inconsistent from dish to dish. The sausage is still amazing, as is the foie gras, but everything else was not off the charts good. read more

If I lived in the neighborhood, I would come up with a reason to eat here every week. The food was delicious and it was a fun adventure to sample everything from Tres Aceitunas (3 types of marinated olives) to Gilda anchovy skewers, tortilla espanola (made of potato and egg, served with aioli), Berenjena (roasted eggplant with complex topping), gambas a la plancha (like a small paella), Lubina (sea bass on a bed of sauteed chard with pine nuts & raisins) and birthday dessert of flan. Although it was all excellent, the olives and flan are not to be missed! Dennis gave us great advice on everything, with a quirky sense of humor. The ambiance in the downstairs area was relaxed elegance--like I was in a different city and country. Take a trip there! Wonderful! read more

Ok love the atmosphere here and love how authentic it is! Spanish tapas. Their wine list is amazing (hard to find Muga in Seattle). They have a few items that tend to stay on the menu but often rotate new items to keep it interesting. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. A place I always go back to! read more

We made a reservation in advance and were seated in the downstairs space, it's rustic and lovely atmosphere. We got the charcuterie, squid, quail, iberico pork, and desserts. Small portions but felt pretty full from the 3 dishes and baguette. I especially recommend the squid, I'm a fan of seafood, the texture of the squid is perfect and the flavor from the squid ink is subtle. I also recommend the pork, I'm not as familiar with Iberico ham besides knowing that the pigs are fed acorns, the flavors are definitely something I haven't experienced from ham. The staff was polite and helpful. Wonderful experience for my partner and I. read more

Whenever friends come to town and ask for recommendations, I will always recommend this restaurant. We've been going here for years and always have great experiences here, and would recommend sitting at the chef's counter where you can interact with the chefs, and see what others are eating. It does wonders for our appetite. This last go around, we had rabbit's livers, pulpo, gazpacho, calamares, and padrón peppers, and finished it off with Café Bombón and an almond cake. Love this place! read more

I've been here only once, but it already earned its place on my list for awesome date night​ spots!! The Harvest vine transports you directly to Spain the second you enter. It smells of wonderful food, you see wood and wine bottles all over and the whole interior feels very European​ (so it's like a short trip​ home for me). We had the Seattle Restaurant Week menu and ordered some things extra. Everything we had was extremely delicious and it's hard to pick a favorite and I don't want to ruin anything. So make sure to reserve a table, get your hungry selves over there and enjoy as much as your stomach can hold! read more

This restaurant is my one of my absolute favorite spots, and is- in my opinion, the best restaurant in Madison Valley. All the food is delicious. I particularly love the spinach and the venison. The This is hands down the best venison I have ever eaten- I dream of the dish between visits and am never disappointed when I return. The plates are small, good to share and are somewhat rich, making it a great option for a family celebration or a romantic date. If you go early-ish in the middle of the week, you will likely find yourself enjoying a very quiet and lovely dinner with few other diners. I love the cheese platter with accompaniments, particularly the olive oil soaked sheep's cheese with quince jelly. The owner has imported a lovely effervescent wine- not as bubbly as champagne but with a definite fizz to it. I can't remember what it's called but every time we describe it they know what we're asking about- I highly recommend it! Overall, Harvest Vine is my favorite local date spot. Although there are a lot of wonderful restaurants in Seattle, the sensuous food, great service, accessible wine selection and warm ambiance of Harvest Vine is hard to beat. And If they happen to have the goat milk cheesecake on the desert menu, it shouldn't be missed! read more

I was disappointed as the reviews were amazing. I went once over the summer and it was a pretty good experience , but it was quite blah on my recent visit. The food was not particularly flavorful. The jamon was cut too thick & was chewy. I was eating with someone who lived in Spain for a long time & he was very very disappointed as I brought him. The Polpo , my favorite also was over cooked & chewy. We did not finish any of it as it was just not good. Perhaps we're both spoiled returning recently from Europe & moving from NYC, but Especially for the price, aka on the more expensive side, it was very disappointing. The service is great and everyone is so nice, but the food leaves a lot to be desired. At the end of the day, you still go for the food. read more

Nine years of living here and I just discovered The Harvest Vine!? I've been long overdue for a proper foodie-exploration of the Madison Park, Madrona, Central District neighborhoods and I absolutely adored this spot. Better late than never! I felt like I was transported out of Seattle and into the Spanish countryside the moment we walked into The Harvest Vine. Something about the lighting, the open kitchen, the piles of food, and the jolly, feasting groups of people just made me forget where I was. Within a few minutes of marveling at the warmth of this sight, we were promptly led to our table in the equally cozy seating area downstairs. Despite it being a busy night for the restaurant, the service staff all worked graciously and stayed on top of refilling our glasses, resetting the table between courses, and asking us how we liked our food. Just lovely. Between the two of us, we got to try the following dishes from The Harvest Vine's Fall 2018 Seattle Restaurant Week menu: Ensalada de Faisan (braised pheasant salad with carrots, piquillo peppers & alioli on grilled bread), Gambas con Arroz (pan seared prawns with saffron bomba rice & alioli), Carrilleras de Vaca (braised beef cheeks with potato mousse & red wine sauce), Tarta de Calabaza (puff pastry tart with candied spaghetti squash), and Flan de Manzana (creamy spanish style apple custard). Each dish gave us something to love-- the varied textures and flavors of the pheasant salad, the gorgeous cook and presentation of the prawns, and the FLAN. Oh, the flan. It is truly the best flan I've ever had and was the perfect end to dinner. Every bite of it was creamy, drenched in delectable caramel sauce, and accompanied by slices of apple. My mouth definitely just watered while writing that. In short, I cannot wait to come back to The Harvest Vine to try out the many other delicious offerings that they have. Would love to sit at the counter on the first floor next time to watch the magic happen in the kitchen. Such a wonderful place for good food, good wine, and good company! read more

First time trying this place for Seattle Restaurant Week and while I can appreciate the quality of the food I don't think the style of food is for me. My favorite things were the two desserts. The Spanish flan and olive oil wine cake were amazing. I would come back for dessert and wine but not dinner. For entrees we got the bomba risotto with wild mushrooms and lamb shank wrapped in pastry shell with white beans. I am normally a huge meat lover but the creamy risotto and perfectly roasted mushrooms beat out the lamb for me. I prefer my lamb shank bone in so this shredded lamb inside a pastry shell was not very satisfying to eat. For appetizers we got the salted cod and potato-leek soup, and duck terrine. The soup was creamy and had interesting flavors because of the cod. The duck terrine was like a really thin slice of meatloaf. I much prefer other cured meats. I see some Spanish influences in the food such as the bomba rice and desserts but the other other half of the menu seems French inspired which was disappointing. While I won't be back for dinner again, it was worth trying once. I'm giving this place 4 stars not because I love it, but because I can appreciate what they do here. read more

Before arriving we were running 10 minutes late so I called the restaurant. A man picked up the phone and stated we had to leave by 8pm due to another reservation- this was at 5:30pm. This was so off putting - I almost didn't want to even go. We came here to celebrate our elopement....food and service were okay, none of the dishes really stood out. For $180 you would think the food would be better. We ordered the charcuterie, a goat milk cheese, and bread with olive oil tasting to start. The charcuterie and cheese were like something you can just buy at the QFC and no special presentation. With the olive oil tasting, three bowls of oil came out but no description and the wait staff didn't even know what olive oils they were. All the bowls tasted the same and looked the same. How can you call it a tasting with no description and no information on what we are tasting? Next we had the beets. The beets came out saturated in a plate of oil and was inedible unless you want to drink a bottle of olive oil. We sent this back as we could not eat it. After we tasted the pork sausage and tortilla - both were fine but nothing special. Overall, I would not come here again. I left disappointed for spending $180 and still hungry. read more

Always have loved the food and the people here. But closing at 8 pm?! Guess we are NOT in Spain.

it looked like a very high-scale dinning, and attracts a very good crowd. We were seated in front of the kitchen/bar, and the entire night we felt like we were watching the Iron Chef show in front of us, very impressive. That being said, here we go: 1. the place is very crowd and very small, so the seating was very uncomfortable. 2. we visited during a summer evening. It was very very hot, especially we were seated right in front of the chef. Extra heat isn't help, and there is no fan or AC, sweat like a crazy. 3. Service people seems to be nice. However, it seems like we were ignored pretty much the whole night. We had been ignored since we were seated, and the waiter kept manning other people and walked by us over and over again without offering us water, or asked us if we have any question or take our menu. It was a good 30-45 min since we seatted, until the old guy (who seems like the owner/manager of the store) noticed us, and decided to come take order himself. 4. The food presentation were amazing. As I mentioned at the beginning, its like watching the Iron Chef for our entire stay. However, it took a long time waiting for our food, and, most of our orders were salt overload. I wasn't sure if what we ate was what it was supposed to be, but up until today, all I could remember about the food, is "Looking Amazing!" and "extremely salty!!" 5. Their wait staff seems to only interested interacting with couple groups of young ladies, and we were completed ignored most of the time... again, did I mentioned that we were left there along for about 30-40 min since we were seated without being offered even water? We decided to ding out that night and decided to choose The Harvest Vine because of its high reputation and score we found in Yelp. But unfortunately, they did not live up to their hype / reputation to us the night we visited. It was a huge disappointment for us, so it was not a place I would recommend or going back again. Needless to say, price is at the higher end. And please also note that the restaurant is located at a extremely busy street without parking, so finding a street parking around the area could also the pain in the butt. read more

Went here for Seattle restaurant week and was impressed, and would come back for special occasions. In terms of ambience, was definitely a bring a date sort of place rather than a go with friends. Onto the food reviews: Remolachas: really enjoyed this dish, as I've never tried putting together beets with vinegar, but after this I will be! The beets go really well with the dressing, and I thought it was interesting how you could taste the difference in the two different kinds of beets Arroz cremosa: was good, but not as mind-blowing as I expected. The creamy rice went well with the mushrooms. Cordero: I thought this dish was probably the best one of the restaurant week option. The lamb is wrapped in a flaky pastry and every bite is crispy on the outside, but the lamb is incredibly juicy. Definitely recommend. Desserts were all pretty delicious, I was a fan of the ice cream as it was not as sweet as standard ice cream sandwiches and very light. read more

It's not a good idea to go there in this season. More yummy tapas is offered in summer...so I was a bit disappointed. Foie Gras is amazing! That's the best dish I had yesterday. Octopus dish was put too much oil, I didn't like it much. The roasted cauliflower is delicious but half was over roasted and turned black. Restaurant service is good, but the guy who answered phone was not very polite, he even didn't say bye before hanging up the phone. I like Spanish foods most. It's a pity I have not found any Spanish restaurant in Seattle as good as the ones in Europe. I hope there will be a real Spanish tapas restaurant some day here! read more

I really don't understand what the hype is about this restaurant (maybe because of the season?). We went in on a Tuesday night with no reservation. Was able to sit down at the bar immediately but the restaurant was almost 100% full. We ordered an Octopus, a Foie Gras, a Blood Sausage from Daily Special, and a beet salad. The only highlight was probably the foie gras, and the other dishes were quit underwhelming in terms of the taste and synergy between the ingredients. Also when they served you bread, there's no butter or olive oil...:( I asked for olive oil and the server ended up brining the the bread + olive oil tasting dish which is extra dollars. I don't quite understand how you are supposed to eat the complimentary house bread with no butter or olive oil? It's one of those hard baguette. We left with a pretty hefty bill and will probably not return. read more

Lovely place for small plates. The street level is quite loud and crowded but there is a basement, which is much quieter though dimmer. Food is good in general, and some of them is interesting, though I wouldn't say it's mind-blowingly great. My only problem is that there are many dishes on the menu that come with potatoes read more

We came for dinner on a rainy Sunday evening for dinner. Though we didn't have reservations, we were immediately seated at a table. We were upstairs right next to the cooking, which was cool to watch. Seating is also available downstairs. In short, service was stellar, the food very good - but goodness gracious - Harvest Vine is spendy! JP started with a glass of their Uriondo 2011 white wine ($10). He liked it. I was content to stay with iced tea, though I know Harvest Vine had the fixins' to make me a martini if I had so desired. Our server recommended that we order two to three tapas per person. I wonder if I misheard and he had said two to three tapas for two, because we ordered three tapas between the two of us and that was just about right to tamp down the hunger pangs, but not be stuffed. Portion-wise, consider a Harvest Vine tapa equivalent to an appetizer. We started with the Tortilla Española ($10), which was outstanding, incredibly delicious. This dish was a delectable potato and onion omelette (which reminded me of a layered au gratin) all wrapped in ham. In short, highly recommended. Next came the Pulpito, which was baby octopus served with red potato and seasoned with pimentón (paprika) and olive oil ($19). The octopus was fresh and the paprika seasoning was interesting, but overall, I felt the dish came up short on flavor. Our last dish was the grilled venison ($19), which was accompanied by a mild licorice root sauce. The deer meat was excellent. Overall, a nice dinning experience that allowed us to experience a range of well-prepared dishes served by a friendly and efficient staff. read more
