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 two dishes we wished to order, mussels and the turkey club, were already unavailable at 12:30. So I ordered a burger. The patty was small, the buns were soggy, and the french fries were overcooked and soggy. Not impressed. Also, the tables along the wall are too close together. The elderly couple next to us was unwrapping their shopping ,and we had to fend off their purchases.

    Excellent as always. I don't know what I would do for lunch and conversation with colleagues in Harvard Square if it were not for Harvest.

    Lovely first dinner in Boston, MA. Service was attentive. First, we enjoyed the Morning Dew - a refreshing, light and delicious cocktail. With a simple but elegant menu, it was difficult to narrow down a choice. Ordered the Venison Loin au Poivre and Wild Atlantic Halibut. Both superb. Nothing left on the plate. The table next to us raved about the Tiramisu. Bravo to the chefs - Looking forward to enjoying Harvest again.

    Wow -- the Julia burger is incredible. The standard burger is good too, but it's worth the extra $2 to get the Julia burger.

    The food was very good and the service was attentive but not overbearing. The ambiance is nice, particularly the fireplace on the patio. The one surprise that we had was the lack of a vegan option and the inability of the kitchen to omit or change some ingredients to make a vegan friendly dish.
