Memorable for the wrong reasons. We drove 1.5 hours for a terrible brunch. Pork tacos were mushy. Chicken breast was dry but well seasoned. Fries and home fries were bland and starchy. OMG French toast didn't come with any syrup. Mimosa was bitter even with extra pineapple juice. Very disappointing. We will not return.Update: The manager graciously comped the meal. Thank you. He gave a $20 gift certificate to try again if we are ever in area again. Added another star for handling of the complaint.
Our dinner at Harvest was excellent. The server was knowledgeable about items on the menu. Our party did not feel rushed to leave.
Excellent food and the service was outstanding! Perfect place to go for a romantic dinner or a memorable night out with friends.
What a treat to have experienced this place on Tuesday night for Jazz night, meet the âhostess with the mostestâ, Glo, bartender Chris and their regular clientele. Plus the food was good! We weâre passing thru town so a gem to find.
All was great as always, but the pasta plate we had needed a little something like mushrooms or scallions. Pretty crowded, but the music was also very good.
Our server was so personable. We enjoyed the food, especially the caramel cake.
The food was less than stellar. The brunch menu was limited. The pork belly tacos where smothered in wet pickled veg. It had a mushy texture and looked lurid. The mimosa was bitter. I asked for more pineapple juice. It didn't help. My child's chicken breast was dry but well seasoned. The home fries and french fries were the most normal thing about this lunch. My partner's french toast was deadly dry. A small ramekin of compote could not help it. The manager and waitress were class acts. I don't know if we will go back but no complaints about the service.
The whole experience was wonderful. We loved our server Ashley
I have said so many times that there are no places left in Knoxville to have a great drink or dinner. Harvest is amazing. I had mentioned that my wife and I were celebrating a special occasion. The staff at Harvest went well out of their way to make our occasion special. From the warmest greeting at the door from the hostess, Glo, who sat us in a less busy part of the floor at a beautifully decorated table, to our extremely knowledgeable and friendly waiter, Ryan, we felt cared for through the entire experience. When my wife couldn’t easily select a wine from Harvest’s extensive list, the manager, Peter, came over and made the process a breeze, even sending over a half glass of Sauvignon blanc for each of us as a recommendation. It had that grapefruit sweet tart smack in the finish that you expect from a Marlborough Sav Blanc. I had the Lillet Spritzer from the drink list. It’s a must try. Crisp, refreshing, and slightly sweet. We decided to split several things from the food menu to satisfy our foodie curiosities. We started with the suggestion of the fresh oysters on the half shell. They were buttery with a hint of brine. Everything an oyster should be. Next was my favorite. Don’t mess around. Get the pork belly as an appetizer. Smoked to perfection, tender, and meaty not fatty. The outside was crisp and the inside soft. Everything a properly cooked pork belly should be. It was served over a wilted salad that was also to die for. My wife and I fought over this dish. You had to get it or it was gone. We then shared a beet salad. My wife is Mexican and beets are new to her. After eating that salad, they’re her new favorite vegetable. The arugula was tossed in a light coating of stone ground honey mustard with the red beets and goat cheese, plated over several slices of roasted golden beet. It was sweet, but not overpowering, and peppery. The flavors were perfectly balanced. Everything a salad should be. Next was the cheese plate. This was the point when we were getting full. The cheese plate was good. We finished with the chicken confit. Some people are against meat slow cooked in fat because they think it will taste greasy. The chicken confit at Harvest was extremely tender and juicy, not greasy, with crispy skin and an amazing flavor. It was served over an orzo salad that had a light acidity that paired perfectly with the chicken. We argued over the dessert. We wanted to try all of the dessert options. The manager informed us that they employ a pastry chef specifically to make these confections. I couldn’t resist the Key Lime Pie, and my wife wasn’t coming off of anymore than a bite to try her Basque Cheesecake. Both were incredible. I was a restaurant manager for 13 years, and am disappointed in most of my dining experiences, but Harvest is no disappointment. My wife has said many times that this is the richest and most delicious meal that we have had in a long time. Our experience was beyond incredible. I’m so grateful. My wife and I will definitely be returning.
I had a great lunch here. Service was solid- not overly attentive. Nice outdoor seating area.
