"Please do not get the french onion soup $18) or the short rib tortellini $38) This restaurant was extremely disappointing for me. I had high hopes for it. It is in a great location near Harvard square and it has a nice outdoor seating option. However, there was much to be desired. The french onion soup looks amazing. However, I should have taken another photo without the melted cheese. There is hardly any actual soup. The color is grey and cloudy. It tastes faint and muddy. There are far too many mushrooms and too much cheese. I have never, ever not finished a dish in a restaurant and this was one I did not finish. It was taken away half finished and nobody asked if there were any issues with it. The french fries were good. However, the two dipping options were some aioli and just regular Heinz ketchup. I wish the other one was something unique as well. The real disappointment was the main dish. The short rib tortellini was a small dish with exactly 7 tortellinis. The tortellini itself was not al dente, as another review mentioned. It was slightly under that and needed 1-2 minutes more. As a result, it had quite a bit of a bite to it, and the taste was not pleasant. The short rib filling was tasteless and texturally unforgiving combined with the underdone pasta. The sauce it was in was rooted in Asian flavors, which did not round out the dish. The carrots and potatoes were an afterthought, adding nothing. They were both underdone and some pieces were legitimately hard. Again, no one asked how my dish was. I am sure Harvest has some great dishes. These two were not those. I came here for an anniversary dinner and was excited. My girlfriend had a great dish, so that is a highlight. However, I am writing my review on my own experience. The service was subpar. I was not asked how my food was and everyone just seemed a little cold and distant. For $150 I expect something pheneomenal. And I was left wishing I went anywhere else."

"Updating: FO2 part deux It needed to taste their cocktails, so it went back. I wanted a Manhattan, but the rye whiskey wasn't there yet. So got the sidecar, don't think I had it before, it was a well-made drink. Also got the duck confit salad: duck leg was boiled as it should be, fall tender, but still moist, tasteful, the salad had dried figs and hazelnuts in it, great taste combination, beautifully dressed, low on the acid. It was there at 7 p.m., there was a short line that moved quite fast, but no place to sit inside. We were friends with two people sitting at the bar, so we got their seats. Besides, we've been in two friends who were there at night, very cool. The first lunch service of FO2 was today, from noon. We arrived at 11:50, of course there was already a line. The doors opened at 12:07. Then there were lines to put in your order. I have the mussels (curry/lime), they were excellent, simply cooked, great taste. Estimated type of costly at $14, as shells are not so expensive. I also have the sweet potato fries, now I understand all the raspberries. And the Tripel Carmeliet, from their list of really special beers – this beer was fantastic! Many of the beers are served in the various beer companies glasses – Nice Touch. My friend liked the burger, and the regular pommes were also really good. And you have to try the water. They use reverse osmosis filtration and the water tastes very pure. Everyone who worked there was so kind and was completely in the face of the attack. I have to go back to her special cocktails in the evening. Too bad for all hoopla and thus the lines. It would be such a great bar to just come. The room is very nice, with a 50-foot nut bar, and usually lots of wood everywhere. Beautiful red tiles on the wall in the sink area where the toilets are."
