- RHRichardHBoston / New England •5 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoOnce again The Harvest was great. We had a show to catch and the after made sure we wouldn’t miss it. The scallop ceviche was delicious, with a little heat, which was nice. The mushroom bolognese with papardelle was superb, with the noodles having been made with red wine in the dough instead of water. An elegant and tasty touch.More infoHarvest$$$$• Contemporary American • Cambridge•4.6
- OTOpenTable DinerBoston / New England •125 reviews5.0Dined on 31 May 2023This was a get-together with friends not often seen. I must say that Susan, our server, was just AWESOME. She anticipated our requests, came by exactly on time, and said all the right things. We had a perfect table in the shade on a hot day, and the food was outstanding. We lingered for an extended chat, and felt no pressure to vacate. It was perfect!More infoHenrietta's Table$$$$• American• Harvard Square•4.5

- JSJenSNew York / Tri-State Area •2 reviews5.0Dined on 1 Jan 2023One of the best brunches I’ve ever had!! Fantastic wine, cocktails and fresh, creative dishes that were so delightful we ate nearly every bite. Can’t wait to visit Boston again and return. Even my picky, foodie vegetarian boyfriend was completely wowed. We live in NYC where there is the BEST food, and were totally impressed!More infoAlden and Harlow$$$$• American• Harvard Square•4.7
