My friend and I had lunch on the outside patio at Danville Harvest. We both had the Grain Bowl with Salmon and both thought it was very tasty! Our waitress was attentive and even moved us to a different table when the sun was in my friend's eyes. I would definitely come back.

crab fried rice was a delightful surprise. I never get fried rice but my daughter wanted it and it was so good. There was a lovely musician playing in the back ground and the place was so clean! The food was very good. We had Pad thai and curry and wing appetizer. I didn't love the gyoza (sp?) as it was dry but everything else was so good. Service was excellent and the dishes were adorable. Nice find in Danville. Yes there are many Thai places to try but this brand new one was exception. Thank you.

We had a great experience for my dad's 90th birthday- wanted accommodations for a quieter space and the manager was so gracious! The food was spectacular- the value was great with large portions, so we had a scrumptious meal. My dad had a hankering for veal parmesan, they made it happen and it was fabulous. This was our third great experience there... so wanted to share it with you- highly recommend!
