Harvest
About
Harvest is a contemporary American restaurant on a cobblestone walkway in Harvard Square that has served Cambridge since 1975. Its seasonal menus pair modern cooking with respect for American culinary tradition, with an emphasis on New England farmers and purveyors. Diners can choose between a spacious bar for cocktails and conversation, a fireside dining room, and a covered, heated all-weather terrace designed for year-round outdoor dining.
Harvest has long served as a training ground for well-known chefs, and its alumni include Lydia Shire, Barbara Lynch, Frank McClelland, Sara Moulton, Chris Schlesinger, Scott Bryan and Bob Kinkead. Today it belongs to Himmel Hospitality Group, led by second-generation owner Chris Himmel, with Chef Partner Robert Sisca overseeing culinary operations across the group. The team also includes Tab Volpe, a connoisseur of classic French desserts. The restaurant serves lunch, dinner and weekend brunch.
