I’ve been to Bostonia numerous times for lunch (I work nearby) but this was my first time there for Sunday brunch, and it was EXCELLENT! Was able to get a reservation for 3, and my friends and I were placed in one of their very comfortable booths. I had the American omelet, and it was stuffed with sausage, bacon, cheese, fried onions…delicious! My friends had the smoked salmon sandwich, and scrambled eggs (a generous helping) with bacon. There was an impressive Bloody Mary bar nearby, but we stuck with sparkling wine and coffee. Our server Kim was OUTSTANDING: she was friendly, informative, and she made a special effort to check on ingredients of one dish due to my nut allergies…her warm manner and attentive service made us feel special and made a terrific impression on us! Thank you, Kim and Bostonia Public House for an excellent brunch!

My wife and I prefer Harvest during a cold winter evening. The positive elements of the restaurant's ambiance seem to shine in Fall and Winter. The staff was attentive and engaging, and the meal was delicious. We were celebrating my wife's birthday. We have dined at Harvest a number of times since 1983. It is a wonderful special occasion place with a relaxed Cambridge vibe.

The food was decent, but nothing exceptional. We liked the decor of the winter market. They were out of the special drink that we wanted, but we got another one that was decent. The service started off good but then we couldn’t find anyone to give us a bill and after 15 minutes or so, we got up and asked another employee to find our waitress
