I’m not from the area and drove past this cute corner restaurant and decide to give it a try. It was a Wednesday around 12:40pm. Parking was a bit challenging but that could be because I’m unfamiliar with the area. At first glance the restaurant appears “average” but once you walk in and see/feel the atmosphere, that perception instantly changes. It was a lot more “upscale” than I had expected (especially since I had a baby with me which automatically made me feel uncomfortable.) When I was greeted, the first thing I was asked was if I had a reservation (which totally caught me off guard). I did not have one, however the friendly employee by the name of Daniel, sat me and my baby outside on the patio which ended up working out great for us. Since I had my 1 1/2 year old with me in his stroller it really was the best option, plus it was a gorgeous afternoon! Daniel also ended up being my waiter and instantly made me feel welcome there. He even assisted me with my son’s stroller as to help us get to our patio table (which by the way was an adorable, comfy sofa styled set). On to the food: I chose the ravioli and let me say, it was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend. For my little guy, there wasn’t too much for his age category (totally understandable) so he had the chicken strips (which were home made style) and he did love them. Price: yes, this restaurant is definitely on the pricey side, but again, I am not from the area and so this may just be what is normal for Danville, Ca. All and all, I would say, it’s not very kids/family friendly however, I’d love to return one day to have a date there with my husband. Thank you again Daniel for doing your best to make mine and my baby’s experience there as pleasant and enjoyable as possible, you truly were a pleasure.

Disappointing Service, but Exceptional Management*

We visited Harvest restaurant in Danville today , and unfortunately, the service was subpar. Our server seemed overwhelmed, and we had to repeatedly ask for drinks, food, and basic attention. The delays were frustrating, and the server's constant apologies citing "short staffing" didn't make up for the lack of service.

However, I want to commend Manager Lauren for turning our disappointing experience around. After we brought our concerns to her attention, she listened attentively, apologized sincerely, and went above and beyond to rectify the situation. Her commitment to customer satisfaction and willingness to listen impressed us.

Lauren's exceptional leadership and customer care skills saved what would have been a 1-star review. While the service issues need attention, Lauren's dedication deserves recognition.

*Pros:* Manager Lauren's exceptional service recovery, food quality (once it arrived)

*Cons:* Inattentive server, long delays, disorganized service

*Recommendation:* Address staffing issues and server training, but know that Manager Lauren will ensure your concerns are heard and addressed.

Would I return? Maybe, thanks to Lauren's hospitality.

Lovely modern Cali food at fair prices too but pity about the USD 3 bread service. Why charge for bread!?

Loved the Brussel sprouts and Crab cakes. Sweet style Pork ribs too.

It’s so fun to discover a place I’ve never seen or heard about and this spot is certainly one of those places. My college roommate (in the 1980s) and I decided to meet here for a few drinks after work one afternoon and catch up a bit. Sadly, we only sampled drinks so I cannot comment on the quality of food. On the other hand, the bar is super charming and has a small town feel to it and I felt many of the people there knew each other. The cocktails were great and the service was great and even better - my buddy picked up the bill so I don’t know if it cost $50 or $500. Good times!

I'm not a cheff but I'm a regular restaurant visitor all throughout SO Cal and North Cal due to work.. and I know a great when I see one.
The flavor of this place excellent, I was able to determine almost all ingredients and the combination of both our plates and the dessert. Excellent great food service and the ambient top notch. Great simply great. Best in Danville I'd say. Love it.

This was our first time at Danville Harvest and we will definitely be back. We went for my mother in laws birthday dinner and we all very much enjoyed our experience. From the service to the ambience and to top it off, the food was amazing. Fresh, flavorful and fulfilling. Thank you to our Server, Daniel, for the great customer service and for recommending the butternut squash soup and brussels sprouts to start. The heirloom salad was amazing and the short ribs were chef's kiss! I definitely want to come back and try the brunch menu asap.

It was very cold outdoors for breakfast, but there was no room inside. The awning was moved a couple of times & became colder when closed. Food was good, but the avocado toast needed butter prior to the yummies placed on top, in my opinion. I had to ask for water refill; I like it when the staff is attentive.
