    We came into town for Restaurant Week and had two wonderful meals. I've been going to Harvest since it opened in 1975 so I love the place. It's changed its style numerous times, but always keeps it charm, fine food, and casual concept. A joy to eat there, as always.

    The food is always great and Abe & Louie’s went above and beyond with their service. One member of our party accidentally left an expensive pair of sunglasses in our booth, and within minutes of us leaving, I received both a phone call and a text letting me know they had found them and were holding them for us. They absolutely didn’t have to be so proactive, but that level of attention to detail and genuine care for their guests says a lot about the restaurant and its staff. We were incredibly appreciative and grateful. Highly recommend!
