Fantastic as always. A hidden gem nestled away in beautiful beacon hill, this neighborhood watering hole never disappoints. The mussels were fantastic, with extra bread to soak up all the goodness, as well as the strawberry salad and cookie skillet for dessert. All was great, accompanied by the friendly service that only a local Boston join could manage. Love the food, people, and experience!

Had a wonderful meal at Harvest tonight. Started off with the beet appetizer and the 3 cheese plate, cheddar was a little dry but otherwise tasty. We had the gnocchi (my wife claimed it was the best pasta she has ever had) and I had the tagliatelle. Both were superb. We split the pumpkin tart. The food was excellent, perfectly served and very tasty. What made the night was our server, Maria. Absolutely the best service we have had in any restaurant: attentive, personable, interested.......ne plus ultra........thank you for making this meal and night out a memorable experience.
