...improved, fully renovated Harvest is advertised as a "whole new look and concept, with the same simple hearty food." The look is certainly different, yet the "harvest" theme runs rampant from the color of the walls to the painting on the cover of the menu. Walls are textured and have the color of the exterior of a butternut squash, a wicker basket at the entrance brims with crunchy New England apples, and underneath the starched napkins at each place setting are wicker plate-covers.

...immerse yourself in the Boston of burnt orange leaves, sunny days and chilly nights and the occasional sniff of burning wood. The physical beauty conjures up images of pilgrims, Puritans and preachers. Boston in the fall can be a symbol for rugged individualism; man conquers nature and reaps the harvest fruits and vegetables for which he says thanks in late November. Hay-rides, horses and apple-picking are all lingering nostalgia for Boston's agrarian past...
