My friend and I had lunch on the outside patio at Danville Harvest. We both had the Grain Bowl with Salmon and both thought it was very tasty! Our waitress was attentive and even moved us to a different table when the sun was in my friend's eyes. I would definitely come back.

The place wasn't very busy, maybe because it was a Monday night. I got the crab cakes and it was excellent. The brussels sprout salad was also very good. Price is a bit more expensive but everything we had was pretty tasty.
