"Harvest Beat is the best place in Seattle to throw down some serious money on a vegan tasting menu. OK, it’s kind of the only place in Seattle to do that. But it’s great. Expect things like a bean soup, roasted broccoli with a miso chocolate sauce, or some squash stuffed with sweet potato. There’s a single nightly seating at 7pm, which begins with the chef ringing a ceremonial gong and talking about all the ingredients that were once in dirt and are now on your plate. It’s definitely worth it, especially for a special occasion - even if you’re not a vegan." - aimee rizzo
