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!

Drink: Sage Advice 5/5 Food: Lobster Cacio e Pepe 4.5/5 Hickory Smoked Shrimp 7/5 (have an appetizer if you're hungry) Food was great. I had the lobster cacio e pepe. Noodles were cooked well unlike last time I was here in April. Waypoint a great in & out spot. You can tell the goal is to turnaround tables quickly. Wouldn't recommend for lounging after a meal due to noise level. $1 oysters makes the bar quite busy but seats seemed to move fast. Requested a booth and was placed near the kitchen, I personally didn't mind but beware of the clanking plates and silverware in your ear if you do sit on that side.
