    Excellent food. The service was incredibly attentive and our server noticed that it was close to our wedding anniversary and brought us complimentary champagne to celebrate. It was a lovely experience.

    what a fun restaurant. such great vibes. such amazing and unique but thoughtful decor. they put so much effort and time into curating a beautiful space. their glassware and presentation was amazing. food arrives in cute little dumpling containers, and each plate/ platter is sooo fun. the bathrooms were so cute. one of the wallpapers had monkeys drinking vodka and smoking cigs. great wait staff. alicia accidentally left her togo box, and when we went back to retrieve it, they had thrown it away, and they offered to remake it for us which was sooo kind of them. The menu was so fun and made to look sort of like a comic book. they didnt really space out their dishes, which was fine. They all came out hot, which I can appreciate. I think they just bring them out when they’re ready so we got served our drinks and then the cucumber salad and then the four other dishes we ordered, which was kind of overwhelming. LOVED this place tho.

    We had a pleasant meal, but the event was more disjointed than is The Harvest's ordinary smooth and delightful presentation. The mesclun salad and our hamburgs were delicious, but the tira misu was puzzling tasty, but odd.

    Really appreciated the server's/establishments flexibility on a busy night. I had a root canal that morning, so had to ask for my meal (classic burger) with everything on the side (bacon, cheese, carmemlized onion, etc). They did it with a smile and I really appreciated it.
