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.

    Great as always. But you were out of the veggie burger. So as I frequently say, my only suggestion is that it would be nice to have more vegetarian options

    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 had such a fantastic dinner at the Harvest with friends. The service was excellent and the meal was fantastic with very hearty portions. Perfect for a cozy winter dinner.

    The server was not trained so he didn't know enough to bring plates and utensils when we had certain appetizers, etc.

    We were seated across from the bar next to an extremely noisy party of three . Although the restaurant recognized our request for a quiet table they claimed that it was the best available. The noisy party ruined our dinner

    Tables for 2 could have a little more distance. I could hear every word of the couple's conversation at the table next to ours. Even though the restaurant was not full it felt crowded.

    This place is a Harvard Square treasure. My wife and I had two delicious meals, the ribeye and the mushroom Marsala. Terrific service from Jacob. He was attentive, extremely personable and professional. Warm, comfortable and pleasurable dining experience.

    Harvest delighted us as usual! Attentive service, great presentation and delicious food! Only downsides were the close proximity to the tables on either side and that they informed two of us after we ordered that our entree (loin of venison) was sold out.
