    Food is amazing!!!!! I've been coming here for as long as I can remember. The staff is so kind and treat us like family. We always have a good time when we are here. One of our favorite meals weren't on the menu for the day but when we asked they made it just for us. really nice place and it has stolen my heart. Only complaint is that not enough people love this place as much as my family does

    Amazingly delicious little diner!! The service was quick and they have a huge menu. The staff are so kind and friendly it's like eating at your relatives. Very comfortable atmosphere. Our table had the Friday fish fry, smothered chicken breast, and the chaps special (which included chicken and eggplant parm and spaghetti with Italian sausage). Their food was so good, fries were perfectly crispy, chicken was tender and the Parms had so much flavor! There's plenty of other options as well! We can't wait to come back and try their all day breakfast (except Fridays). They even made a special order key lime pie to go!

    This little diner, which feels more like a restaurant, is a hidden local gem. Food is homemade and delicious! The soups are rich and satisfying, and the pastas are delicious. You will not get a bad meal at this eatery. Don't forget to save room for dessert because they are fantastic! The service is fantastic, and I always feel like family when I go there. The prices on food are great! This is easily one of my favorite local places.

    I have zero bad things to say about this place. I came to Elba with my parents, as he grew up there. We stopped in for some dinner and got way more of that. I had the meatloaf sandwich, with mashed potatoes (wasn't what I was expecting, I would recommend asking for the gravy on the side) but it was hearty and good food! My dad got the special of the day which was the muck plate, it was huge! (Basically like a garbage plate) he thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the meat sauce that was poured on it. My mom had the Patty melt and she ate the whole thing! The fries were crispy and soft on the inside, kind of like beer battered. My parents rave about the pineapple sour cream pie so we asked to order it for the next day since they had none left that evening. The hospitality of the ladies in there made the experience so home-feel like, it was wonderful. The next day, we picked up the pie a little later and they gave Dad a slice of a different kind for being a Vet. They were so sweet! I know my parents will go back every time they visit.

    It's a dive but clean and decent. Waitress was extremely friendly and attentive (pretty sure it…read morewas the owner). The reason my rating is low is two major problems. The food came out extremely slow. We waited for 45 minutes, for a table of 5. There were only a few people there at the time. She offered to box up the food since we spent so much time waiting we had to leave. The next problem was our food was very inconsistent. My sister had the junk plate and my son had the junk fries and they both loved their food. My sister said it was one of the better "garbage plate" type meals she's had. Me and my mom not as good. My mom said the soup was lacking any flavor and was not good at all. The main problem with our meals was we both had the egg and olive sandwich. Tasted good until at different times we both bit into egg shells. Happened more than once to the point I didn't want to eat anymore because I didn't know to expect an eggshell. Therefore both me and my mom could not finish our meals. I posted a pic so you can see it's a big piece of shell.

    Quirky little dive diner not far from Batavia. The building is pretty old with crooked counters…read moreetc. which gave it some character. My breakfast was nothing special but perfectly fine. Service was a little off. She got my order wrong then disappeared. As a result I really couldn't do anything about it. Also, she gave me my coffee, cream, and sugar. But she didn't give me anything to stir it with (again disappearing). She was a young girl so I'll mark it off to inexperience. If I was in the area, I would go back.

    Ever since Bent's Opera House opened, I've been curious and wanted a reason to try Harvest for…read moredinner. The opportunity finally presented itself and, overall, it was a really nice experience! Three of us had made reservations for 6pm on a Thursday and when we arrived, there were zero issues. Parking for Harvest is primarily street parking but there are smaller parking lots nearby. The interior comes across fancy, modern, with nice views of Main St. and as you walk in to the dining room, the open-kitchen to our left and a warmly lit, nicely stocked bar to our right. We were seated at a table towards the middle of the dining room. At 6pm, most tables were empty but when we were leaving there were a good amount of people at both the bar and seated in the dining room, so it seems like people tend to come for a later meal. Our waitress came over and poured us waters and provided drink and food menus. This was a first for me - the menus lit up! Our waitress though was incredibly courteous and personable, she did a fantastic job checking on us. To kick the evening off, I ordered their Honey Hibiscus cocktail, which is mezcal, Grand Marnier, hibiscus, ginger, honey, cinnamon, lime, and fee foam. This was a nicely balanced cocktail with a more floral, fruity flavor. With the open kitchen concept, it was neat to see the chef and cooks working on our meals as we relaxed, talked, and munched on some warmed focaccia-like bread with a freshly made balsamic, olive oil, herb dip. The bread was so soft with the perfect amount of chew on the crust/exterior, and served warm. For dinner, I ordered Pappardelle Mornay and added (perfectly grilled) chicken breast for a few more dollars, which is simply pappardelle pasta in a creamy cheese mornay. Our waitress crushed some black pepper atop my dish before I started in. This was excellent - The pasta itself tasted so fresh, the cheese mornay was indeed very creamy, and the grilled chicken breast was cooked, seasoned, cut, and portioned perfectly. I am really glad I added the chicken breast to this dish as I'm not sure the pasta itself would've filled me up. I'd definitely order this again! To wrap up our meal, since it was Thursday, there's a "1/2 off Nightcaps" special, so each of us enjoyed a cold foam espresso martini afterward, which is coffee-infused vodka, Nue vodka, FAIR Café liqueur, dark crème de cacao, Steamworks espresso, chocolate bitters, vanilla syrup, and topped with an infused cold foam, which we went with the Frangelico Hazelnut cold foam, and a few espresso beans. This was ridiculously rich and delish! Harvest is an intimate, elevated dining experience, designed to have you stay a while, relax, and enjoy a more personal meal. All of us really enjoyed our evening here and have nothing but high praise for the staff and quality food. This isn't a fast, casual, cheap sit-down meal, but it's an experience worth the higher price. I look forward to coming back!

    In my opinion, Harvest is the nicest restaurant in the area, probably across all of Genesee &…read moreOrleans counties. It's located on 1st floor of an upscale boutique hotel in what used to be an old bank (they still display the vault). My parents have gone numerous times, but this was my first visit. The interior decor is beautiful & upscale, including comfy chairs, and tables are not packed together. The live piano music was a nice touch, though we all agreed a tad loud to support dinner conversation. From start to finish, everything was pleasing, beginning with cocktails, the Bison ribs app, root salad, & entrees. We didn't order dessert, but I saw some others getting delivered, and they looked delicious. Service was excellent. We'll be back!
