                                                            The two dishes we wished to order, mussels and the turkey club, were already unavailable at 12:30. So I ordered a burger. The patty was small, the buns were soggy, and the french fries were overcooked and soggy. Not impressed. Also, the tables along the wall are too close together. The elderly couple next to us was unwrapping their shopping ,and we had to fend off their purchases.

                                                            Lovely first dinner in Boston, MA. Service was attentive. First, we enjoyed the Morning Dew - a refreshing, light and delicious cocktail. With a simple but elegant menu, it was difficult to narrow down a choice. Ordered the Venison Loin au Poivre and Wild Atlantic Halibut. Both superb. Nothing left on the plate. The table next to us raved about the Tiramisu. Bravo to the chefs - Looking forward to enjoying Harvest again.

                                                            Wow -- the Julia burger is incredible. The standard burger is good too, but it's worth the extra $2 to get the Julia burger.

                                                            The food was very good and the service was attentive but not overbearing. The ambiance is nice, particularly the fireplace on the patio. The one surprise that we had was the lack of a vegan option and the inability of the kitchen to omit or change some ingredients to make a vegan friendly dish.
