| - My family was in town visiting me and we decided to eat here as the head chef, Roy Ellamar is from my hometown.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect as I live in Las Vegas and hadn't even heard of this restaurant. I made our group a reservation, which I recommend, and since it was right when the restaurant opened, we were seated rather promptly.
Harvest prides itself on sustainability and freshness which was clear from glancing at the menu. They have small plates which is tapas style, and larger plates if you want an entree sized portion. Furthermore, there is a vast selection of wines to choose from.
First, an appetizer cart came by where you could pick and choose anything you wanted off of the cart. Since there were four of us, we decided to try a number of items: the skewer, spinach salad, ahi poke, and eggplant caviar. Being an Island Girl from Hawaii, I am always partial to poke, especially when it's done well. This one was, however, my pick goes to the eggplant caviar. It had a texture similar to that of hummus and was served with a very thin crisp. I hadn't tasted this flavor before and was stunned by how light and refreshing it was. I could literally eat this all day as a snack.
For our main course we had some small plates and some big ones. I ordered the scallops which were divine. The porchetta was also ordered and it was tasty as well. I have to mention though, my favorite item all night was the Duck Confit Buns. If the only item you go there for is this, you will NOT be disappointed. On mini brioche buns there was duck confit, foie gras, pickled radish and kumquat preserves. Three come on one plate, and being dainty me, I ate mine in two bites. They were tiny, but they packed a punch! It was the most immense, flavorful, delicious thing I've had in one, well two bites.
Finally, again another cart came around with desserts. We were all stuffed by this point, but I have a hard time saying no to trying new things. So of course I tried the Grand Marnier pop, the passionfruit marshmallow and the lemon tart. My favorite of the three was surprisingly the lemon tart. Now I am hardly a sweets person and don't really care for fruity sweets, but this lemon tart blew me away. The lemon middle wasn't overly sweet, there was a torched cream, possibly marshmallow top, and a Nutella crisp bottom. This was the part that got me. It was a light crisp, that kind of reminded me of a wafer, but better! Getting all three in one bite was almost like biting into heaven.
Harvest was an impeccable dining experience for me. Aside from the amazing food, every single staff member was friendly, made conversation with us, and made us feel as though we were at home there. The ambiance was pleasant and not overly noisy. I definitely recommend Harvest to all who are hungry and looking for somewhere to eat! I will be dining here again. Thank you Chef Roy!
