I gave Harvest Moon Grille another try recently and had a better experience. I ordered off the appetizer menu, rather than getting a full entree. I tried the "PORKetarian" soup option, a hot and sour style soup and a collard salad. The soup was more like a stew: loaded with tender pork, a few veggies milling around and a nice broth that wasn't particularly hot or sour but was good nonetheless.
The collard salad comprised raw collard greens cut into thin ribbons with a hard-boiled egg and a bacon vinaigrette. The dressing was delicious, tangy and a little smoky, the collards fresh and bitter/sweet. The egg was strange: it was pink on the outside - which I assumed meant it had been pickled. But I wasn't able to detect any pickling flavors. So, not sure what that was about. However, the salad was delightful and I finished it off.
And then the dessert: I ordered a salted caramel pot de creme and what I received was a little pot of heaven. The caramel was rich and not overly salty. It lay in a thick layer over a creamy custard. It was amazing. I didn't allow myself to finish the entire serving, but only because I didn't want to have to endure 4 hours of working out to compensate.
I still have to say I don't love Harvest Moon, but I do really respect its mission to serve only local, seasonal fare. And I was perfectly satisfied with my meal on my most recent trip.
