A steady Harvard Square presence for almost 50 years, Harvest embodies the ever-evolving spirit of Cambridge and deep respect for culinary tradition. Our seasonal menus marry the innovation of contemporary cooking with a timeless respect for American culinary traditions and an emphasis on local farmers and purveyors. Our spacious bar, fireside dining, and hidden gem of a patio each offer a welcome reprieve from the fast-paced world happening just outside our doors.

Serving Lunch, Dinner, and Saturday/Sunday Brunch with seating on our seasonal outdoor Garden Terrace. We highly recommend making a reservation; outside tables are available weather permitting and may be requested but cannot be reserved or guaranteed. Harvest offers Private Dining from 15 to 60 people. Sit-down lunches, dinners, and receptions are just some of the Private Functions Harvest can provide.

    The halibut that I always order was alarmingly dry -- almost inedible! I was told the lobster thermidor wasn't so great either. All in all, a disappointing experience. Our waiter, Charles, was outstanding.

    This is my first time getting back at the Harvest for a while. I brought my youngest daughter telling her when I treat it was to eat at this restaurant. When we got there the atmosphere in the ambience, the vibe, the food, and the service had all changed. The service was mediocre best with service laughing and joking while people waiting for service. Ambience was lacking, food was mediocre. My server asked what we thought of the food and I told him it was not addressed and  nothing was done about it. Call quite disappointing.

    This is one of my favorite Cambridge spots. Whether sitting at the bar area tables, or in the formal dinning room, you can always count on a great meal...and drinks!

    Harvest remains one of the best in the Boston area after nearly fifty years and remains highly recommended. The wine list is especially strong with brief but very informative descriptions of the specific regions from which the bottles originate. A quick view of the list before buying wine would help anyone be an informed shopper.

    Nice warm atmosphere for the holiday season. Went for brunch. Delicious quality oysters. Great beet salad with salmon. Wish they would bring back there "buche de noel" creations that they had a few years ago around the holiday season. We had a chocolate souffle for dessert, it was fabulous! Our waitress was sweet and professional. Truly consistent place and a great go to specially during the holiday season.

    Excellent halibut and cabbage, yes cabbage, dish all preceded by delicious crab salad. Did I mention "The Judge", a heart warming rye drink. Enjoy.
