Such a great experience! I’ve traveled the world and this was literally the best crab cake I’ve ever had! The Wagyu special was also SO good! Our waiter, Daytin, was an absolute delight. Ask for him! 10/10!

Absolutely a great meal! Emalee was our server and was fantastic. We have been here twice and have loved it both times. My wife had the bulgogi and I will be ordering it next time!

We recently met friends for dinner and drinks and chose Harvest downtown. We sat out front and got to see a lot of weird vehicles cruising Gay St on a Friday night. The drinks were okay and the menu was pricey, but the food was good. Shoutout to our waiter who was friendly, chatty, and very attentive to our table, some of the best service we’ve ever had. Even my husband noticed it. Good job, y’all!

Great service, ambiance, cocktails and food! Our server, Tenille, was a delight, and so was management. We ordered the seasonal burrata and the deviled eggs to start and they were both delicious. Then the filet mignon, the prime rib and the ribeye. All of the meats were cooked perfectly and the sides and sauces were yummy too! Definitely recommend!

Absolutely wonderful! I’m not from the Knoxville area and everything was delightful! The Filet was melt in your mouth and perfectly cooked. Wonderful wine list, live music was great and our server was awesome. Will ABSOLUTELY be coming back with our family on our next visit!

Celebrated my birthday with a memorable dinner at Harvest Downtown. The space felt elevated but cozy. Dim lights, earthy tones, and a relaxed energy. We started with the blue crab hushpuppies, crisp and warm. The lime aioli dipping sauce added the perfect touch. I had the filet mignon, medium-rare, tender, juicy, and full of flavor. The truffle frites were golden and crispy, with that rich, earthy aroma. The Caesar salad was simple: romaine, garlicky dressing, and plenty of shaved Parmesan. The grilled Australian lamb chops, a Harvest specialty, were perfectly charred and tender in the middle, with a bourbon glaze and cornbread puree. The puree tasted like really good hummus. The broccolini balanced it all out, and the side of Brussels sprouts was sweet, smoky, and crispy around the edges. Service was warm and attentive. Definitely the kind of place you go for a date night, a special occasion, or just when you want to treat yourself to something good.
