“The cajun fries (medium spicy) were amazing. Shrimp and lobster were fresh and tasty too. Do note that they don’t come with any sides so you gotta order your corn on the cob and potatoes as extras (which were also tasty after being marinated in the Cajun sauce).

The staffs were all nice and attentive. It would be better if the soda wasn’t flat. Would also be better if a bucket could be offered at the table for the shells, so that the sauce doesn’t float everywhere.“

“I recently visited a izakaya restaurant wanted to share my thoughts. The food was okay, nothing extraordinary, but enjoyable. I tried a few different small plates, Sake was good. I found the overall experience to be decent. The atmosphere was cozy, which is typical for an izakaya setting. It's a good spot if you're looking for a casual place to grab a bite and a drink. A little bit pricey though.“

It was all delicious. I don’t use chop sticks so they brought me a fork. Would highly recommend this place it was busy but we don’t have to wait long for a table and they had a steady line of to go orders going out as well.“

Quality, quantity, taste - phenomenal...I had the Mediterranean mix which was a great sample of all different tastes. The rice (usually just fill in deliveries) was excellent with that slight bit of saffron coating it. Thank you!“

“Beware: NO DECAF COFFEE! We were a group of 4 for brunch. The food was very good and we appreciated the atmosphere and the convenient location. There was only one person working the room and the place got quite busy, which meant we needed to wait every time we asked for something (like a water refill and the order of bacon he forgot). That part was somewhat frustrating (only because we needed to get somewhere right after, so we were watching the clock), but as the bartender/waiter explained, the busy period is brief, so it doesn't make sense to have additional staff. Something that needs to be said because it was so unexpected and unusual: NO DECAF COFFEE!!! Someone in our group enjoys coffee but can't have caffeine, so that was a big disappointment as she was expecting to have coffee with her brunch, as one would normally expect with breakfast food. I wrote this at the start of this review to convey this to people who may not feel like reading this whole review. I'd go back if I was in the neighborhood, but I'm a caffeine addict, so the beverage offerings were not a problem for me, lol.“

“I wandered into Harvest based solely on their Google rating, with no inclination as to what the menu might hold. I'm so glad I did! The staff was friendly and attentive. My goblet was refilled before the thought crossed my mind that I may need more. Dishes were cleared almost immediately after each course. The food came out beautifully presented and piping hot. I ordered the Humboldt Fog plate, Mushroom & French Onion soup (Who thought to put miso in it?! Yum!) and roasted asparagus. I was very pleased and would certainly recommend folks give Harvest a try!“

Great food, great location, and friendly service every time!“
