Harvest

A great location in downtown New Haven near Yale. Harvest has the best outdoor dining in New Haven, down below street level secluded from busy roadway and sidewalk traffic. Inside it has a very trendy and cozy vibe. Have been frequenting this restaurant for a few years now and they have been pleasantly consistent with both their interesting cocktails and quality food offerings. First time I came here was just for cocktails on my birthday and knew I had to come back and try the food. There are plenty of small plate selections to choose from that suffice as either dinner or appetizers. The crispy calamari and crispy artichokes are go to favorites. There are several really good entrees on the regular menu but there are daily specials as well. The hanger steak is very delicious and so is the halibut. Most recently had the pan seared sushi grade yellowfin tuna that was amazing. The value is good for the money and I leave here feeling content. The service is attentive and plentiful. Shoutout to the owner/manager Wilson who makes us feel welcomed and happy that we came. Look forward to our next visit!

We were a party of 4. The waitress was very knowledgeable about wine and the menu, and gave us great suggestions. Not pictured was the octopus appetizer, which was a 10/10. It was bright and had the right amount of acid, kind of reminded us of ceviche. I also enjoyed that the octopus was in thin slices and wasn’t too chewy. We also ordered the mussels with chorizo appetizer (the bread dipped in the sauce was top tier), duck, salmon and scallops. Every dish was delicious. We are definitely going back!

A really cool spot to stop at before catching a show. I recommend you make a reservation to ensure you get a table. We stopped in for a few small plates which were perfect. The butternut squash soup was outstanding. Probably the best I have ever had. Next were had the meats and cheese platter which came with various cheeses and cured meats. Lastly we had the grilled calamari, it was ok. The service was very good and we well probably go back and try other items from the menu.

We were just casually passing by and saw this place decided to try the Happy Hour the food absolutely fenomenal steak tartar is the best I ever had along with the Mac&cheese and shrimp and grits there is a good variety of drinks and beer and the bartender was so nice. We will definitely be back.

The food is absolutely fire, both the beef tartar, and chicken and wild mushroom pappardelli were rich with flavor, making me want to go back. I wish the portion for main dish was bigger, and the corner seat of the restaurant did have quite a few flies constantly flying above us. They have outdoor seatings available too!
