First-timers might have a hard time finding Harvest, tucked as it is down a narrow alley off Harvard Square's main drag. Once you're there, the bustle of the Square is behind you as you settle into the sumptuous dining room, decorated in muted earth tones, with dark woods and soft lighting. The quiet dining room is a favorite spot for the professorial types you'll find in Harvard Square, and the patio is considered among the Boston area's best. Harvest is great for occasion dining, private parties, as well as for an elegant Sunday brunch. The food revolves around the seasons and the region, and the chef has put together an elegant brunch menu designed to satisfy most appetites. The three-course, prix fixe menu showcases first courses ranging from quiche Lorraine to Greek salad or fresh fruit. Entrées include standbys such as eggs Benedict and a couple of omelet variations, as well as waffles, a burger, and steak and eggs. Dessert at brunch? When they're this good, yes. The pastry chef's confident, creative style matches the chef's cuisine well. The caramel panna cotta and milk chocolate crêpes are balanced, satisfying confections. The bar also serves a range of brunch beverages – from Bloody Marys to bellinis and early afternoon martinis. Full bar. Reservations strongly suggested. Serving lunch Mon–Sat, dinner nightly. Sun brunch 11 am–2:30 pm. Voted Best Private Dining in the 2008 Boston magazine readers poll.
