HARVEST KITCHEN

I love this place in the Upper West Side. We stopped in for happy hour one day and fell in love with the atmosphere and the small plates! We just can't get enough of the sliders! Also, the pow-pow (Brussels) and calamari. We came back for a traditional dinner as well and were very pleased with the Harvest Burger and Salads.

Amazing food that punches above its weight class in terms of price. Service was great but a little laid back. There were a few times we had to wait for more water and it took a while to get the check, but overall it was good service. The atmosphere was also great, but the seats were interesting. I’m 6’0 and my partner is 5’3”. She was in a chair and I was on the bench. She was towering above me! Besides that the restaurant was pretty. We ordered the tuna and the schnitzel and they were both amazing. I also recommend the calamari.

I have never written a google restaurant review in my life, but I’m not sure I’ve had an experience like this. I ordered a mushroom taco bowl. It sounded promising especially in a fairly upscale restaurant that’s charging $20 for it. The spicing however, was extremely bland and frankly a poor stab at Mexican, not the caliber of food I would expect from this city. I would have maybe choked it down, but the rice which comprised much of the dish was very under cooked. The grains were flat and dry and some of it was so crunchy it hurt my tooth! I calmly explained about the rice and strangely the waiter cleared everything off my table without asking me, including my tea and my side salad which I was still eating. He initially gave me the option to order something else, but returned and said the chef said the rice was fine and refused to let me order anything else or eat the salad I ordered. Not only was the rice not fine, I’m surprised they even tried to serve that. Then they compounded the inedible dish, by being downright rude.

Great food and service. Took friends here for Sunday brunch. All seven of us ordered different items and everything was beautifully presented and delicious. Generous portions too. Was very busy but service was brisk and laid back. That’s how I like it. Things get done but wait staff not constantly on your back interrupting your conversation.

The space is lovely and we were warmly welcomed. The waiter was very nice. I had the brown rice and vegetables and my husband had the steak and eggs. It took a while but the place was busy, so I’ll factor that in. When it came out it was 4.5 tiny pieces of steak, the 2 eggs and the side of partially overcooked fries for $24.00. Not even accompanied with a slice of bread. It was a dietetic steak and eggs for sure. I thought I would have more vegetables in my dish but it was brown rice with minimal vegetables mixed in. I would have had more vegetables from a Chinese takeout than in this dish. It was ok but I could have put some soy sauce on brown rice for the tiny amount of vegetables that were in there. It’s a shame because we are locals and felt like we were tourists being ripped off. I didn’t know what to expect from my dish, but it was disappointing. As for the steak and eggs which is something my husband orders frequently, those little bite size pieces seemed like a joke.

I love this neighborhood spot. The service is excellent and the food is fantastic. One of the best burgers in NYC. Drinks are amazing. Even fun to sit at the bar and hang with the staff. They also have an awesome party room in the back for small gatherings.

Casual spot near Central Park that had friendly service and a mix of Mexican and American food. The fish tacos were surprisingly delicious - it was grilled fish and fresh veggies. The service was excellent and they were very accommodating for bringing kids

The ideal place to eat in your 'hood and to enjoy a special dinner without getting too dressed up. The menu is far more diverse than just a burger and salads, ensuring that there is something for everyone, regardless of the reason for a visit. We were not too hungry, so we ordered several appetizers and were impressed. The focaccia bread had a great texture and the taste was yummy. The chips and guac were seasoned well, making for a flavorful, crisp bite. Without a doubt, the highlight of the meal was the hummus — a stand-out version of a dish you must have tasted zillions of times in your life with a seasoning that outshone its regular counterparts. The fries were exactly perfectly crisp and the fava bean salad came with a great light dressing that sang in harmony with absolutely everything. The service was efficient and fast, with friendly and inviting servers and hosts making us feel right at home. The atmosphere was charming and relaxing, with a cozy yet spacious layout that avoided the cramped feeling of many NYC eateries. Overall, Harvest Kitchen is a fantastic place for any dining occasion. Whether you're out for a casual lunch with friends or a special afternoon treat, this spot hits the mark. I can't wait to come back hungrier and explore more of their main dishes!

Food is great,Service still fast and attentive,Ambiance different from my last trip to the Harvest.

First, the server had great recommendations on menu items that fit with our interests. I had the chicken cooked under a brick, it was possibly the best chicken I've had. Our party started with the Brussels sprouts, which were great. I tasted the burger and it was very good, too. Service was attentive and the owner stopped by to check on us several times. Second, on the weekend they have a small group of protestors arguing that a former employee was unfairly terminated years ago. We looked into it and the courts have weighed the evidence and found no case. We then had no problem dining here. Don't be dissuaded, the ambiance and food were well worth the dilemma. We will be back.

Stopped here for a bite after drinks with a friend and I was pleasantly surprised. I've passed this place a bunch of times, but this is the first time in. It was the winter and they had the enclosed patio / window section, though it was a warm day so the doors were open. Decorated well - low key and elegant, see pics. And food portions were sufficient. Prices range $22-39 for entrees, sides of $13 (pricey I felt compared to the mains), and appetizers at $9-20

We just missed brunch by a few minutes. And I almost left but was too tired to look for somewhere new. I'm glad we stayed. The food was good and they accommodated my kids bc there wasn't much on the menu that they liked. We got burgers, Greek salad, chicken fingers, and guacamole. All and all decent food - but I sure wish we made the brunch.

We got seated relatively quickly on a Sunday brunch which was amazing! the environment was so lovely and friendly. The food was well priced. It wasn't amazing but I enjoyed it!

Small hole in the wall restaurant. Chips and guac was really good. Salad was a little pricey for the value. But it was a pretty good tasting salad.

Yet another delicious meal here! Ive been here for dinner a few times, but their French toast with berries was delicious. Glad I came!

Took a little while to get anyone's attention because I was a solo diner but everything got better after that. Had their great Greek salad with salmon (more interesting than it sounds) and the best slice of Apple pie in recent memory. If it's on the dessert menu, don't be dumb; order the pie.

Decent option for lunch or dinner on the UWS Portions for burgers and sandwiches are large. Salads and apps are decent as well. It can get a bit crowded and stuff inside, but dining outdoors is a nice option they offer as well. You can get 10% cash back or so using various apps such as Upside.

Very diverse menu including vegetarian options. Although it was well done and asked for medium, the hamburger was excellent. So were the fries . Service was excellent, and the prices were very reasonable for manhattan.

After a few hours at American Museum of Natural History, we getting a little hungry and we are glad we did. Plenty of tables and seats with an outdoor closed heated patio with a lively atmosphere. 4.75 Stars - Our server was pleasant, friendly and knowledgeable with the menu choices. Food: 4.5 Stars We chose the wrapped bacon dates, a classic burger and a bacon cheeseburger w fries. 4 Stars - The wrapped bacon dates were good, sweet and salty. It had an almond inside the date for a crunchy texture. An aioli sauce was sprinkled on the bacon dates which was topped on some fresh salad fixings. Though is tasted good, it was a little bit too sweet for our palate. 4 Stars- The classic burger and bacon cheeseburger was topped with lettuce, tomato, pickles, guacamole, and grilled onions. Burgers were juicy and moist, but the show was grilled onions. Sauté perfectly and has nice sweet flavor to them. 5 Stars - The Fries were the bomb! Double-fried in the cooler to get the balance crunchy texture and was seasoned with just enough sea salt. We could have eaten a platter of fries by itself. Definitely recommend the place. When busy, it will be loud so come early for lunch or dinner.

Read reviews and was totallyintrigued. Very accurate! Food and service were excellent as was Happy Hour menu. Calamari was tender and crisp, meat in sliders very tasty and the guacamole was the way it should be!! Will be our new favorite neighborhood restaurant. Also coffee and tiramisu were delicious! Vibe in restaurant, from owner and entire waitstaff to patrons was appealing

This review is for the 4-course Thanksgiving dinner. First course: salad for everyone; It was fresh and well seasoned. second course: I had the fried calamari; the batter was thick and less flaky than I would have liked; my family had the bacon wrapped dates and they liked it. Third course: I had the salmon and sautéed veggies; salmon was cooked perfectly and the veggies were good. My family had the turkey and they said it was too dry and the gravy was thin. This was the second year we have had Thanksgiving dinner here. The turkey was better last year. Fourth course: my family enjoyed the apple pie and pecan pie . I liked my berries with whipped cream. The service is very consistent here. They accommodate special dietary requests without problems. The manager/maître d' is always very friendly. The space is pleasant and comfortable.

The Summer '24 gazpacho special is world class. Topped with shrimp on crusted bread slice adds to the taste and presentation. Truly the consummate summer appetizer.

This is a fantastic Happy Hour gem! Great HH menu and even weekends until 7pm. The drink menu is substantial as is the small bites menu. We had the guac (of course) as well as the brussel sprouts. Both sooo good!! After HH we went into the dining room and we both had burgers. All burgers come with a side of guac and plentiful French fries. We haven't eaten dinner here since AG Kitchen and we were pleasantly surprised. Very good! Service was just okay, somewhat dismissive but food came out quickly. Inside was clean and tables nice and spread out. Will absolutely come back.

Despite the glam up, which was successful, we were disappointed with our overall experience. The menu offers a nice variety of dishes that sound great but fall short. Cold fries, overcooked fish and undercooked tacos were a few of the issues to start. The server touted their guacamole as "ranked 4th" in some publication, but it tasted like every other mediocre guacamole we've ever had. Our neighbors complained of too much garlic in the pasta. They're constantly trying to upsell the grass fed burger for another $2 under the guise that it's a thicker patty and "healthier" for you which I find unnecessary. Even the dessert, key lime cake, barely tasted of key lime, nor did it contain any cheesecake as the server described it would. The restaurant was noticeably hot throughout the evening which didn't help. This would be a great place if they would focus on upping the ante with their food preparation and presentation.

Three of us enjoyed a lovely lunch on a recent Saturday afternoon. We split the Brussel sprout appetizer and individually enjoyed a burger with guacamole and onions toppings; Greek salad ; beet salad with tofu. All three entrees were very fresh and our burger eater proclaimed it the "best burger he ever had." The shared appetizer was simply delicious. The Brussel sprout resister stated it made him rethink his stance. Finally the service was so good and we were not rushed at all. The space was relaxing and not packed too tightly. We sat in the enclosed patio but the inside also looked very inviting. They also had two small individual bathrooms that (hooray) did not have any gender identifications.

Randomly found this spot along this busy street as we were looking for a cozy dinner outside (with heat lamps). This place fits the bill with a solid enclosure out front and plenty of seating as well. Started off with the Guacamole ($13) - chunky and not overly citrus or salty. Served alongside some thick cut tortilla chips. For the main course, ordered the Brick Chicken ($26) - lemon and thyme braised, with sides of corn/zucchini succotash and a gnocchi square. Chicken was made perfectly, not lime forward but marinated well. The gnocchi square was a first and tasted amazing, like a softer cornbread. Succotash is a nice respite in between. Service was great, as they came by often despite being the only table outside. Would want to come back for lunch as well.

Delicious burgers! Service was good and attentive, without being disruptive. Nice and enjoyable evening.

Always recommend this lovely restaurant. Food is always good as well as the pleasant atmosphere. Staff very efficient and friendly.

Food: I got the ricotta pancakes with seasonal fruits. Very light and fluffy. The fruits could've been fresher though, nog sure why the raspberries were crushed/macerated almost. The blueberries were okay. Strawberries not the freshest. Nit: Also not sure why the maple syrup is in a paper sauce container, would have expected it to be in some small ceramic dish My boyfriend got the salmon eggs benedict. The eggs were not poached well, a bit under. We also got the guac, kinda lackluster but it did come out very quick. Portion was kinda small. Service: great, food came quickly and the waiter was very attentive and it didn't feel rushed. Ambiance: typical. we sat in the front area. decor was some random cookbooks stacked up, which was interesting. Felt like the vibes are very mismatched

We got the huevos rancheros ($18) and the lemon thyme chicken ($23). Both were a bit disappointing but the service and outdoor seating was nice. The huevos rancheros was a bit sad without much flavor. The black beans soaked the fried tortilla and it wasn't not warm to begin with. It comes with a salad in the middle which is fresh and plain. The chicken was better although pretty dry. The skin was flavored well though so it was better to eat a piece with skin. The corn succotash was actually pretty good on the side.

The food and service were great! We had the Brussel sprout salad with salmon and the Greek salad with steak - and they were both tasty! Our waiter was attentive and the ambiance was nice. We will come back!

As a hungry vegetarian with a pescatarian and someone who eats everything, we came to this restaurant and we all found great food to eat. The place is big enough to have groups and parties of three like we were. I only saw one friendly server for the entire area which is a lot on a Saturday brunch. Please have more staff if possible. I felt bad that he could have had more help. I'd like my black bean burger with guacamole. My friend had the Greek salad which looked big and satisfying and the other girl had some fluffy pancakes which look good too. And amazing coffee the coffee actually included warm milk. I haven't had coffee with warm milk for the longest time.

We had a holiday dinner at Harvest Kitchen. Everything that everyone ordered tasted delicious--calamari, guacamole, salmon, shrimp, bolognese sauce. And the staff was very friendly and attentive.

Nice American brunch spot offering lots of classic options along with a bunch of alcoholic (and some non-alcoholic) beverages. I ordered the Caramelized Banana French Toast ($16), which was delicious. It came with three slices of house-made cinnamon toast, with caramelized bananas and caramel sauce on top. While this was quite a simple dish, it was made well. The toast was very soft and the caramel sauce was sweet but not too sweet. I do think that for the price, it would've been nice if they gave another slice of toast or had something else on there though. I also tried the Bacon Benedict ($18), which was a high quality version of this classic brunch dish with a tasty thick cut of bacon and side salad. The eggs were nicely poached and the English muffins were the proper softness. To drink, I got a Strawberry Fields mocktail ($8.50). This had real strawberry pieces in it to give a real strawberry flavor, along with some lemon and honey for a touch of sourness/sweetness, and the fresh basil added a hint of refreshing flavor to the drink. The fizzy soda added further to the refreshing nature of this non-alcoholic brunch beverage. The interior of this restaurant is decorated like a standard nice American brunch spot with white tablecloths and a bright and lively environment. They have a bar area as well as quite a lot of table seating. It was rather busy for Sunday brunch when we were there (we got a reservation the day before). The staff are friendly and attentive. The service speed is pretty fast. I will note that the prices shown on my bill were actually a couple bucks lower than what was on the menu, which was strange. Overall, while I don't think Harvest Kitchen had anything particularly special to warrant 5 stars, it definitely earns a solid 4 stars from me. If you are looking for a quality classic American brunch place in the Upper West Side, I would definitely recommend coming to Harvest Kitchen.

Went here for brunch. The ambiance of the restaurant was lovely and our server was attentive and kind. I got the brussels sprout caesar salad with chicken and my boyfriend got the chicken sandwich with crispy chicken. Both were very good! the sandwich was juicy and the salad was huge and really good - an interesting take on a classic caesar. overall I was very pleased with this place and would definitely be back!

This restaurant doesn't look like much when you walk in, but I literally felt transported once we were inside. It felt like a place where you want to sit down and gossip with friends for hours and the staff would welcome it. Definite Sunday brunch, catch up with friends vibe. Every single person we interacted with from beginning to end was the absolute best. The guac was talked up as the fourth best in the country in HuffPost as we were led to our seats and our water cups were never empty. I love that they put their famous guac to include in all of the burgers which makes them stand out. The guac is definitely amazing-- it's lime forward and filled with flavor. We're not sure about fourth best in the country, but it was pretty good guys. I really liked my crispy chicken burger-- the crisp on the chicken absolutely came through. It was a bit messy eating it, as the guac and the onions fall out of the burger real fast, but such is the life of burger eating. Also shout out to the fact that they toasted their buns! It's the little things. They have a variety of non alcoholic drinks which was a delight to see on the menu. They had a bunch of different flavors of lemonade, and I settled on the passionfruit which was amazing. I will say that it was $7, which is on the high end, but the brightness of all of their drinks simply add to the vibe. In the end what made this five stars for me was the service, the ambience, and the twist on lunch foods. Would definitely like to try their breakfast items ,like the pancakes, next time!

Yum! We had the Brussel Sprouts which were good. But the Bacon Guacamole Burger stole the show! The fries were also amazing! Great service and ambiance!

A classic, cozy neighborhood restaurant. I was visiting NYC and looking for a nice lunch near Central Park. Harvest Kitchen really outdid my expectations. It was prime lunch time on a Saturday with beautiful weather, and I expected a long wait for anything near Central Park (because tourists like me, right?). Nope! 10 minutes wait. The manager, Igor, was so friendly (particularly to elderly customers, it was so cute). Many were clearly locals who knew him by name, one was permitted to skip those waiting as a regular who was "like family." It was sweet to see places like that still exist. Furthermore, the food was really good! The Greek salad was very well balanced with all the ingredients. I opted to add the salmon, which was a generous serving cooked properly. I also tried (ate half of) my fiance's fries and OMG. Very good fries. Perfect crispiness, and I Love fries. The burger was amazing also, which is crazy for me to say because I historically don't even like burgers much because the beef is usually just bland to me - here however, you can really tell that they are made in house with brisket. It wasn't heavily seasoned or anything, but just really good quality burger meat. I wasn't hungry enough to try any appetizers sadly but the bacon wrapped dates and the guac looked stunning

Food lacked flavor, my rice bowl came w/ tons of rice no vegetables or flavor other than oil. Yuck, Margarita was subpar.

Enjoyed the spicy red snapper tacos. Staff is attentive and efficient. Nice wine offerings. Nice surroundings and table settings.

Wonderful menu, great wait staff and bartenders. Something for everyone at reasonable prices. One of the few places in the neighborhood where I order salmon. Their mixologists come up with the most incredible inventive cocktails and like all of Jeremy's. restaurants, a great addition to the neighborhood.

Great staff and pretty outdoor setting. The food came out bit late but the staff provided a great service so was no prob at all. Apparently, their guacamole was voted one of the four best guacamoles in the U.S. by the Huffington Post. Tasted amazingly fresh and good! Breakfast menu served until 4pm. -Guacamole: great taste just as it was entitled. -Powpow brussel sprouts ($10): one of the BEST menu I ordered. Sweet with spiciness and well seasoned, crunchy texture. -Flat bread with gorgonzola, fig butter, arugula, and jamon ($13): homemade style and fresh ingredients. Tasted good. -Turkey swiss burger ($17): usually don't go for turkey patty but this one was exception. Great match as a burger. -Truffle Gnocchi($23): my only disappointment. Tasted okay but nothing special. More of a mushroom cream nocchi. -Tiramisu($10): a bit pricey for the portion but great taste. The staff made my day:) Super nice and friendly place to go in NYC

Came on a Saturday for brunch. Although we made reservations beforehand there seemed to be plenty of space for walk in. Got the crispy chicken sandwich which came with fries. Fries weren't super crispy and the chicken sandwich came with a strange guac to pickle ratio. The pickles definitely overpowered the little dollop of guac. Service was quick and the staff were friendly. Overall would come back for the ambiance, and the ability to eat under natural light on a rainy day.

Seated immediately even though our whole party wasn't here. Patient staff. Lots of windows for natural light. Excellent service. Flat bread with prosciutto, Gorgonzola and fig jam was so yummy and unique. Warm quinoa salad was incredible!!! $17 for the salad and $4 for chicken. Huge portion. I never leave food on my plate and I genuinely couldn't finish it. Bathrooms are tiny and individual but they're clean. It was great prices for the Upper West Side. Great location near the park. Right across from Alice's Tea Cup (also a favorite of mine).

First Impressions: Been living on the UWS since 2013 and not sure how I missed this little gem. It's so aesthetically pleasing, looks like the kind of restaurant you'd find attached to a little inn in the country. I loved all the white walls and tasteful and understated decor. There was bar seating and indoor seating open but because it was such a warm and breezy morning, my husband and I opted to have brunch in the outdoor area to enjoy the weather. Service was polity, attentive and quick. The Noms - I ordered the bacon eggs benedict with hollandaise sauce on the side and a salad. The portions were super generous and the bacon was extra crispy, just like I like. My husband ordered the salmon eggs benedict done the same way and he let me try some of his, very smoky and perfectly prepared. We ordered calamari to share... because I tried to be healthy by opting for a salad instead of country potatoes or fries but it didn't work, lol. Calamari was crisp and well seasoned. In Conclusion - I really enjoyed my meal and have since been back for brunch with a girl friend who was visiting from out of town. Would definitely recommend!

Delicious breakfast. Had the huevos rancheros with a side of turkey sausage and a glass of sparkling rose. The turkey sausage must have been made in house patties and were very good but the huevos rancheros stood out. I don't order it often but I am glad I did so here. This was delicious and a highlight meal of this trip to NY. Was a beautiful fall day so we sat outside. They have one of those street patios they built for a lot of NYC restaurants during covid and it was very cute. Service was superb and we even got a free tiramisu when we told them we just got married. Would love to come back.

Such a cute and welcoming restaurant in the UWS that's perfect for a casual brunch!! I visited without a reservation on a Thursday afternoon around 3:30pm and we had a great time. Their menu includes an interesting variety of options - ranging from burgers to kimchi fried rice. Along with a strawberry fields mocktail, we tried their caramelized cauliflower, smoked salmon Benedict and huevos rancheros. As a fan of berries in general, I really liked the mocktail! The basil in it gave it a fun kick. While we didn't find the food to be spectacular, it was still tasty and we enjoyed our meal. This is a great option if you're thinking of getting brunch with some friends!

Our favorite spot on the Upper West Side! Totally friendly atmosphere, so fun. Brunch, lunch, dinner - the food is always so creative and spot-on, Harvest never fails us!

I LOVE THE FOOD ITS SO GOOD!!! Its really perfect for lots of people to hang out and also a lot of great options for people with all kinds of different tastes! Service was amazing and everyone was very very kind. Definitely go here!

Wonderfully cozy spot! I came here to celebrate a birthday. It was definitely bustling but we were very lucky and got seated super quickly. There was a bit of a wait time for the food but that was expected. Overall, the food quality was wonderful. The steak was cooked just the way I wanted it and the scrambled eggs were very fluffy. The fries were a tad bit too salty for my liking but the salad helped cancel out the salt. The spinach and artichoke was phenomenal!! I would definitely come back again.

Really solid UWS choice. Great service, everything is well oiled and terrific. Reconnected with a friend here. He grabbed the Kimchi Fried Rice which was devoured and looked terrific. I added the Market Chopped Salad which was fresh and delicious. A little bit too loud inside but a lovely spot.

Sat at the bar, asked for menus, bartender didn't even acknowledge us after asking for menus. Left, and wouldn't go back.

Good diner quality neighborhood restaurant. All American menu a nice ambience and very clean and the service staff very good excellent restaurant for the neighborhood

What is not to like? Excellent food, service, and comfortable ambiance. I have not tried a dish I didn't like. Highly recommend.

Best burger in the world. Literally. Fries incredible, salads fresh and substantial, amazing soup. Even better great service and so reasonably priced that I'm not sure they realize they're in nyc!

Delicious food, attentive and friendly service. I appreciate their focus on heathy, fresh, vegan and vegetarian foods. But don't let that stop you from dining here. They have an eclectic menu with many offerings. Please see photo of menu. They also have a full bar and different seating areas. Very nice!
