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.

Great meal. 3 of us ordered 5 dishes,which might have been 1 too many for our group (1 larger eater; two smaller eaters) Typically it can be noisy but they say us at a banquette in corner across from the bar, so the noise level (6pm res) was quite tolerable
