    The service was excellent! The entire staff was flexible and accommodating. The food was served in such an appealing way, arriving in round stacked "boxes", and platters served with a fiery center! We were so impressed with the overall presentation of the food, and the taste was even better! Crisp, fresh and perfectly seasoned. We had a very memorable meal and will certainly be back to Wusong Road!

    Lovely date night! We enjoyed the happy surprise of the Dine Out Boston menu, with both pizza and bolognese options. 😍 oh, and the celery bisque was out of this world.

    Fantastic dinner, excellent service. I felt compelled to order the lobster roll and it was worth every cent, huge pieces of lobster tail meat in a perfectly griddled bun. My companion (my 17 year old son in town to tour Harvard) had the half tale of daily oysters and enjoyed them all, as well as the bisque. Wonderful dinner. And they called me to let me know I left my car key behind, I appreciated that!

    I had fond memories of this restaurant from when I lived in Massachusetts over 25 years ago. So I was surprised that it was still open, and shocked at how good - and relevant - it still is. And in this post Covid world, dining out has become so hit or miss. But Harvest is hitting on all cylinders. Great and creative menu, but still some classics, refined but not unrecognizable. Food preparation and presentation excellent. A balanced and well thought out wine list, and you don't need to be a millionaire to find a nice wine. Service is old school and flawless. Relying on professionalism - not personality. Sorry I don't live closer, but I will be back next time I am back in Beantown!
