This was the sixth or seventh year we have had our holiday lunch at Harvest. The food was superb and the wait staff is wonderful and gracious - especially as we litter the table with wrapping paper and a gift exchange over dessert. Harvest has not disappointed us yet! The burgers are always amazing, the Moules Frittes are the best I have ever had, cocktails are delicious and inventive (all except the Pilot which was sent back by 2 of us for being too syrupy), and the duck special was tender and delicious. Bon appetite!

We took our 33 year old son here for birthday brunch and it didn't disappoint..! The food was plentiful, delicious and a great variety! Three of us opted for the Mimosa package which included a bottle of champagne and three juices.. Fantastic! Our server was attentive and brought our son a plate of dessert while other staff sang Happy Birthday.. This was a memorable meal.. Easy parking in the Charles Hotel garage.
