Harvest Beat

Food was excellent as well as the presentation. Everyone was very friendly and informative of the food served and it's preperation. I love that what they are able to get from local growers and foragers is what dictates the menu and not the other way around. Chef Joe is an masterful artist. They were very happy to work around and accomodate my allergies as well. My first visit to the west coast and Seattle was crowned by dinner at Harvest Beat. I love the concept and execution of this restaurant - I wish we had some like it on the East coast. Keep up the great work.

I dined at Sutra once a few years back and have fond memories of it. (From what I've read, this place was opened by half of Sutra's original team after it closed.) The dinner format is identical. They serve a seasonal, prix fixe, multi-course menu with optional beverage pairings and even do the same thing where they ring the gong when service starts.

One major upgrade is the setting. I remember Sutra being this small space where we were squeezed at the community tables together with other diners. There wasn't much décor to speak of either. The atmosphere was a lot more casual. Now, at this new place, the dining area is more than spacious. No more table sharing with strangers. The atmosphere is warm and intimate. The staff couldn't be more welcoming and cordial.

The food was great and portions were adequate. We thoroughly enjoyed every course. At $56 per person, it's not cheap by any means but I found it pretty good value. A must-eat in Seattle!

My wife and I have been Vegan for a bit over 2 years now. I am lucky as she is a fantastic cook. That said, I took her to Harvest Beat for our 30th anniversary this past weekend and enjoyed one of the finest meals I have EVER eaten. Yes, not finest Vegan meal...finest meal! The staff are wonderful and the Chef/Owner passionate about his food and those that grow it. Harvest Beat offers a 4 course, fixed price dinner that will over fill your tummy and titilate your senses. I (we) cannot wait to return!!
