Dan PullmanJune 2, 2017The bar is a find. The patio is perfect. I love and trust Harvest for any meal. It's the place we keep returning to and always are comfortable and love the food.
Boston.comAugust 4, 2014Chef Mary Dumont's cooking is rooted in the canon, but with a light, modern touch: Think venison carpaccio crusted in Sichuan peppercorns, or skate with fennel, chestnuts, and pumpkin. Read more
William ZachmannJuly 20, 2012Excellent restaurant (and small bar). For years was my local hangout in Cambridge, though it was much more casual then than it is now. Still a favorite of mine any time I'm ion Cambridge!- EaterJanuary 12, 2012Mary Dumont presides over this Harvard Square oasis, here since the1970's and historically training ground for some of Boston's biggest names in cooking.

Stephanie OrmeMarch 31, 2019Great food! Came here for Restaurant Week and they gave super generous portions. Had the Paper Plane for a drink. So good.
Vanessa GatlinFebruary 16, 2014(Best of Boston 2013-DESSERT) Improper Bostonian says, "It's no wonder Food & Wine crowned Brian Mercury the People's Best New Pastry Chef-East Region. The desserts he's crafting look exquisite."
Roula HannaMarch 15, 2014We had an amazing lunch at Harvest. The fish tacos were delicious and the wild mushroom soup was the best I've ever had.
CITY GRITAugust 16, 2014We loved the Seafood Ceviche & Scallop Crudo. Field Strawberry & Lavender Salad, and the English Pea Agnolotti.
Johanna LindleyDecember 8, 2016Excellent service & friendly staff. 2 course lunch excellent value for money. Thoroughly recommend
The focaccia bread is SO. GOOD. the baby kale salad is great.
- Rem KoningDecember 15, 2015Duck and very user friendly wine list. I'd you appear confused they will bring out three options to try.
C FosselMarch 17, 2015The staff turnover rate is low meaning that it's a happy place. Always bodes well for good food and service.
Suzanne WenzSeptember 21, 2013If the weather is good get a table on the pretty patio. There are cozy spots near the fireplace.
susan zellmann-rohrerFebruary 9, 2010This is the place where you have dinner with your parents, your graduating kids or your significant other if that significant other is from Harvard. Cozy, quiet, elegant service. No surprises.- The sweet potato something something noodle appetizer is out of this world. So good.
Boston MagazineNovember 11, 2011Harvest has a problem. We can never decide when to go: enjoy the dinner? Sunday brunch? If only every conundrum were this tasty… Read more
chiaraJuly 31, 2013try the crab beignets & open faced egg salad sandwich ... outdoor seating is lovely!
The most underrated restaurant in the square, pretty much everything is great, but especially skin-on fish if it's on the menu.
DRAZDecember 7, 2015Food is great but fairly heavy on calories so take it easy. Service and staff is boarderline slow and could be friendlier.
Sit on the bar side and get to choose from bar AND main menus.
Simon LeeJune 19, 2010Enjoy a drink at the bar before dinner. Great service, atmosphere and company!
Rob HepplerFebruary 21, 2011While your at Harverst go say hello to Tarek at The Tannery. He loves Harvest!
Try the fabulous foie gras -- there's probably a cardiologist there on any given night.
