    For Valentine's Day we visited Harvest Beat for Dinner. For those not familiar, Harvest Beat is a vegan restaurant located in the Wallingford neighborhood offering seasonal multi-course dinners. The multi-Course Dinner included alcoholic or non-alcoholic options. The dinner started with '18 Six Atmospheres Blanc De Blanc 100% chardonnay (Woodinville,WA ) and the Harvest Beat Hot Chocolate Oat Cinnamon Agave Urfa biber Cayenne option. The 1st and 2nd Courses were plated together) and included Hickory smoked potato chowder alongside a pinenut wasabi crème glazed roasted beet poke salad, topped with ponzu marinated wakame, and finished with toasted sesame seeds accompanied by, '23 Sigillo Cellars 100% Viognier (Snoqualmie,Wa.) and the non-alcoholic option Lemongrass Ginger Ice Tea. The 3rd Course included Curry, butternut squash, pumpkin seed paneer on a toasted cumin black lentil daal finished with a garam masala apple and pear chutney topped with purple potato chips. This course was accompanied by '21 Sparkman Cellars "Outlaw" Merlot (Woodinville,Wa.) and the non-alcoholic option, Apple Arugula Rose Chamomile Lemon Myrtle Sparkling Elixir. The 4th Course was Spinach, caramelized onion, roasted black trumpet mushroom, cashew cheese filled crepe with roasted carrots and fingerling potatoes, on a saffron cream sauce finished with toasted slivered almonds. This was accompanied by '23 Sigillo Cellars 100% Syrah ( Snoqualmie,Wa.) and the non-alcoholic option Pear Carrot Basil Apple Cider Vinegar Milk Thistle Holy Basil Dandelion root sparkling elixir. The final course, Red velvet chocolate lava cake with raspberry coconut whip cream accompanied by '23 El Aziz "Fina" 100% Late Harvest Grillo ( Sicily, Italy) and non-alcoholic Harvest Beat Tea Blend. Delicious people!! Compliments to the kitchen for exquisite plate presentation and making vegetables taste so good. The beverage pairings both alcohol and non were on point. The servers were knowledgeable and welcoming!

    If you want to have a very UNIQUE and DIFFERENT experience go here. But if you're not generally into Vegan food, don't go here for the food lol. But I'd say it's definitely worth going for the experience you get - they only serve once a day and they serve all parties once they have arrived and seated altogether. Sort of an intimate experience with strangers (but not in a bad way). For not being vegan nor even liking vegetarian food much, the food wasn't BAD. But again, you don't go for the food you go for the experience.

    I'm so happy harvest beat is staying strong to their roots no matter how hard it is to be a small business in Seattle. My second time visiting- first was an anniversary and this time my birthday. As a vegan and for my husband a non vegan, it's as close to a Seattle Michelin Star food experience as you could get. Honestly, I nominate them! (And , yes, I've been to one, check my Eleven Madison Yelp Review). Seattle has none and for good reason, however here, they're different. They don't shy away from any challenge. An ambitious menu that updates per the season , like every ~3 weeks. And using the real definition of farm to table with all ingredients from a 100 mile radius! With all that being said, service & food are top notch! Thursday - Sunday 7:00pm reservations only 5 course pre-planned vegan experience. Friendly inviting chefs including their kitchen welcome the guests. Full drink list with option to pair spritzers or wine. My food review; spectacular attention to details. The plating. The colors. The savory to sweet . We started with a warm soup to a refreshing salad and slowly worked to our hardy main dish with meaty mushrooms and creamy potatoes. We had a wonderful experience. I look forward to my next visit and highly recommend.

    A wonderful experience for plant-based folks and omnivores alike. I had been wanting to dine at Harvest Beat for a while, and I'm so happy that I finally got the chance--the food is thoughtful, flavorful, and filling, the atmosphere is cozy, and service was great! When you walk in the door, you're greeted with the option to start off the evening with wine or an elixir (non-alcoholic beverage). Each course comes with a pairing, which adds another level of excitement to the menu. My boyfriend and I opted for one wine pairing and one elixir pairing, so that we could share and try both, which I recommend if you do partake in adult beverage consumption. I know mocktails may not seem the most appealing, but these drinks were refreshing, well-balanced, and paired exceptionally well with each course... dare I say I enjoyed them a little more than the wine! We chose to sit at the "bar" area, overlooking the kitchen, which I also highly recommend. Watching the chefs plate each course was a lot of fun! The food itself was seasonal, interesting, full of flavor, and yes, the portions overall were quite generous... I normally am able to finish my meals when out, but had to have some assistance with the main course and dessert. Although all of the food was good, the smoky potato chowder served alongside a unique roasted beet poke salad was by far my favorite. That chowder has to be one of the best soups I've ever had! My boyfriend isn't the biggest fan of beets but devoured his and asked for some of mine. The playlist was both calming and uplifting, the lighting was just right, and each course came out with impeccable timing--we didn't feel rushed, yet we weren't waiting too long between each course. The menu changes regularly, so I'm definitely looking forward to enjoying another lovely dining experience and having the opportunity to try more creative plant-based dishes, hopefully in the near future.

    Menu, $135 + tax + tip per person regardless of Alcohol or Non-Alcohol pairing

    TLDR: overpriced especially if you don't drink alcohol. For us it's an one-visit experience worth checking out but not returning. Brought my partner here for his birthday celebration. We were excited to try a vegetarian-centric fine dining experience. As many other reviewers have mentioned, they start serving courses to all tables at the same time, so all parties at the restaurant start dinner at the same time. Service was welcoming and friendly, but not attentive enough for the price you are paying... As soon as most tables have arrived, the staff started serving us drinks. My partner and I don't drink alcohol, so we got served some very creative colorful non-alcohol drinks to start with. As each course was served, they were paired with different drinks. For alcohol pairing, it was wine, for non-alcohol pairing, it was various colorful sugary drinks. All the courses of food were beautifully plated, with interesting ideas, pretty good taste, and high-quality ingredients. My partner as a vegetarian who always had limited options when dining out was quite satisfied and pleasantly surprised by the dishes. I was more impressed by their creativity and their local sourcing policy. However, neither of us were happy that we were charged the same price as patrons who had alcohol pairing. Alcohol is way pricier than N/A sugary drinks is a common knowledge, and I believe Harvest Beat used to charge less for N/A pairing. Both of us felt like we were forced to take in lots of liquid sugar just so they can charge us the same price as people who drink alcohol. The amount of sugary drinks served started impacting my appetite and experience towards the end of the dinner. It felt like an overkill. The service, as I mentioned earlier, was good, but nothing up to the expectation I had from the price tag. For $135 + tax and tipping per person, the service was mediocre. Nothing more than what you'd get at a casual sit-down restaurant.

    We've been vegetarian/vegan for years, and have avoided fine dining/set experiences like this because the price point often came from the meat offerings. Not here!! And for non-drinkers, note that imo the non-alcoholic elixirs were even better than the wine pairings! But both were spot on. Every item was so fresh and clearly seasonal. The staff was kind and on top of things. This was our first time doing anything like this, and it was truly phenomenal. I didn't know how these things worked so imma write it out for ppl in the same boat: -like a normal restaurant, except everyone eats the same things at the same time bc you're all booked for 7 pm -can get there early to pick your preferred table, they give you set drinks while you wait, we got there at 645 and were the first table whoops! -chef came out ~720 to explain the origin of the meals -servers bring out the paired drink and food to each table one course at a time -you don't interact with other tables, literally like any other restaurant -pay at the end. With tax & 20% tip it was $178 per person. We left plenty full too! Hoping to do this at least once a year. So much fun, a truly special anniversary experience.

    Harvest Beat has a prix-fixe menu with wine or non-alcoholic pairing. The entire restaurant is seated at 7PM and served each course at the same time. This means that if one table is late, the entire restaurant does not get started until everyone arrives. The chef(s) will go over the menu, usually consisting of many local and seasonal produce, with the entire room. My favorite courses were the salad and soup. The salad had the freshest greens with fun toppings like kumquats and a unique beet-and-yogurt dressing. The soup was a stinging nettles and miso bisque. Who ever thought of combining stinging nettles and miso?! Both the salad and the soup were delicious. The seeded cracker added a nice crunch. I was less impressed with the other courses. The samosa was good, but not necessarily better than ones I have had at Indian restaurants. The Vietnamese crepe was served like a taco, so I wasn't sure if I should eat it like a taco or with a knife and fork. I saw the other guests use a knife and fork, so I did too, but the crepe was very hard (as a taco shell would be) and difficult to cut through (1 star off). The maitake mushroom filling for the crepe/taco/whatever was overly salty (1 star off). The required drink pairings were nice individually, but they did not seem to go well with each course. For example, the stinging nettles-miso soup had a peach-cardamom-coconut drink pairing. The peach-cardamom-coconut drink was a delicious smoothie, but I don't think it worked well with a umami-rich soup. For dessert, the galub jamum had a foul odor, almost like sweat (1 star off). I think the dough must have been old or spoiled. I didn't want to complain because I did not want to stay any longer. For $135/person, I had expected much more. It was a shame that the food decreased in quality as the courses progressed.

    The courses were all flavorful! My favorites were the spanakopita and soup. The non alcoholic drinks were excellent and I thoroughly enjoyed them. My husband enjoyed the alcoholic choices as well. The lands cake didn't escalope have the melted lava that we were expecting but the cake was alright. The whole experience takes at least 2 hours. We arrived around 6:55p and dinner starts around 7:05. We left around 9:30 or so. I loved the decor in the bathrooms and they are kept clean. The tables felt intimate and they even provided coloring sheets and crayons for my 4 year old. Very kind staff!

    Incredible vegan food, very creative menu, all the ingredients are local. Comfortable ambiance, and the staff genuinely cares about you. The best restaurant in town, vegan or not.

    Wanted to love it. My husband is vegan and we eat a lot of veggie/plant-forward dishes. The concept of Harvest Beat is right up our alley, but for us the reality didn't live up to the hype. The non-alcoholic elixir pairings were our favorite part, with the oat milk chai being our top pick from those. The service was very warm and welcoming. The dishes weren't tastier than what we've made for ourselves at home, and at times the execution was not great (like dry, tough fingerling potatoes). I think they had a new chef recently start on at the time, so maybe they have gotten back into a groove now. Nit picky things that not everyone will care about: I wish that instead of reading the entire menu off word-for-word during the introduction, the host had briefly described each dish just before it was served, perhaps with a bit of information that couldn't be found on the menu. Speaking of the menu, it kind of floated around on our very small table for 2 and we struggled to keep it out of the way while eating (they do not collect them for service). The diners next to us opted to place theirs on the floor.

    Went here for my spouse's birthday. I was satisfied--up until the main course. That's where things started to go downhill. The first and second courses (served together) were a delight. The soup had nettle in it, which gave it a surprising kick I really enjoyed. The salad was equally fresh and well-balanced. The third course--a creative take on a samosa--was flavorful and well-executed. Definitely a highlight. The fourth course was their spin on a Vietnamese crepe, but it fell flat for me. The portion was too small to be satisfying, and the vegan fish sauce had a very off-putting taste that overshadowed the dish. I was genuinely disappointed. Dessert was a twist on gulab jamun. Maybe it's my Indian tastebuds, but the jamun itself was far too hard--I had to wait nearly 10 minutes before I could even get into it. The rose syrup was thin and didn't add much, but the ice cream was a saving grace. Infused with cardamom and spices, it tasted just like chai and was absolutely divine. We opted for the non-alcoholic drink pairings and were pleasantly surprised--they were creative, well-thought-out, and complemented the meal nicely. However, small things added to the letdown. For example, the toilet flush was constantly leaking--something that took away from the otherwise upscale atmosphere. Overall, it's a good restaurant with clear creative ambition, but the experience didn't justify the $350 price tag for me. Great for novelty or a one-time visit, but not somewhere I'd return often.

    Pricey.. with tip it was $300 for 2. BUT... the dinner was phenomenal. The asparagus soup was a 10. The bread and hummus a 10, the mushroom paella a 9 . The mixed salad a 10. The thing that fell flat for me was the dessert but my wife had no problem eating mine

    Heirloom Tomato Salad & Corn Chowder
    Melissa L.

    Five-course, prix-fixe, vegan dining that was impressive. Made last minute reservations via Opentable. We had trouble with our Lyft getting there, and it felt like everyone was waiting for our arrival to begin. Yikes. Small intimate setting that is warm and inviting. I opted to do the wine pairings with the meal. Prior to the start of dinner, Head chef came out and described each dish and explained which farms the vegetables or fruits came from or were foraged from and introduced all the cooks and servers, too. Nice introduction of everyone. 1st & 2nd: Local corn chowder topped w/applewood smoke corn alongside heirloom tomato salad w/fresh fennel, pickled red onion, lime, glazed melon in a miso yuzu vinaigrette 3rd: Tamari marinated beet poke & black forbidden rice on grilled baby lettuce w/shishito peppers & pine nut wasabi creme topped w/wakame & toasted sesame 4th: Wild foraged "Lobster" mushroom cake with fried garlic green beans & German style red new potato salad finished w/house pickle remoulade 5th: Vanilla bean panna cotta with wild foraged huckleberry gelee & peach preserves topped with cinnamon streusel. Menu was inventive and delicious. Service was excellent. We had a great time.

It definitely piqued my interest and was duly bookmarked. I had an opportunity to check it out with fellow Yelp Elite/IGer, Carol C (3/18/26). I was able to get a last minute reservation confirmed via email. Both of us were able to get zoned street parking along N 45th. This restaurant is also accessible via Metro. We were seated by Tim, the owner, at a two top by the front entrance. He was very welcoming, personable, and charming. An aside, read the background info about how the restaurant came to be from their website and additional cool details about the owner, restaurateur, and author. The interior transformation was pleasant vibe. There were other tables aligned along one wall. The remaining seating were along a banquette. There's also limited seating at the bar towards the back. Great ambiance, however, it does get rather loud once the restaurant fills up, just saying. Wine, of course, is available by the glass or bottle. There are other beverages like beer and NA choices, but no tea/coffee service. Happy hour specials are also available. Tim provided us the low down on the featured daily specials and gave us enough time to peruse the menu. It's one of those menus that had so many pleasing options. We split the Piatto Misto which was a great way to sample various app offerings including fresh burrata, an Italian meatball, sliced prosciutto & other Italian meats, and two bruschettas - tomato and mushroom. We both agreed that the meatball was the standout. Carol chose the Pasta del Giorno which featured farfalle with mushrooms, broccolini, in a cream sauce with added Italian sausage. I selected the Pasta Salsiccia which had linguine with Italian sausage, mushrooms, red pepper flakes, in a tomato cream sauce. Both pasta mains were rich and generous, that the both of us took home halves of our respective entrees to save room for dessert. For dessert, I went with my fave tiramisu and Carol had the chocolate mousse. Tiramisu was delicious that I cleaned out my serving glass. It was definitely an enjoyable experience and were onsite for nearly 2.5 hours. Well attended to and not rushed. With how costly it can get dining out in Seattle, it's a great to find a place that is easy going, has great variety, and reasonably priced. Recommended for an approachable, quality dining experience. Grazie mille, Tim!

The Tonnarelli was what both of us were eyeing and it delivered in every way, from the freshness of the tomato to the perfect consistency of the sauce. We also decided to be adventurous and try the Ricotta Gnocchi despite the fact that both of us are not huge fans of ricotta, me especially. I loved the base of the paste and the flavours were great, I think I just got bored of the dense texture of the ricotta after the first few bites. Our server was super friendly and recommended me an incredible white wine to go with dinner that really cut the acidity of the pasta. The sauces being to tangy and acidic was my boyfriend's only complaint about the food, but he was the one driving. I really loved the pasta here and can't wait to come back and try more of the dishes on the menu!

    What went well: - service…read more- ambiance Not so well: - food at price point In short, my friends and I enjoyed ourselves for dinner last night, but I struggled to wrap my head around the price points... $47 for halibut and "greens". The halibut size was smaller than average, and the greens consisting of two small artichoke halves and a single branch of collards. Similarly, we paid $23 for a seared tombo and were given four thin slices of meat. I feel slightly robbed paying about $80 and leaving quite hungry. The food was good, but by no means would I argue this is worth going out of your way for.

    Picked up to-go from this little taco spot in Fremont, Seattle, and it was a hit!…read more Taco El Lago is an unassuming taco shop serving up tacos, quesadillas, and other Mexican staples. We ordered some carne asada tacos and a chicken quesadilla. The wait was reasonable, and the gentleman taking orders was super friendly. There are a few tables inside if you'd prefer to eat in. The tacos were super fresh and very tasty. They had plenty of meat, and it was perfectly seasoned. Slightly greasy but not so much as to ruin the flavor. I was very impressed with the quesadilla too. It was loaded with chicken and was ultra-flavorful. The green salsa was also great. Honestly, I am sure there is better Mexican food in Seattle, but this place hit the spot, and I really enjoyed it. Nothing bad to say here. Great location in Fremont, close to many things. Grab food here and take the short walk over to Fremont Brewing to accompany your tacos with a beer!

    I hadn't really heard of this place until my friends suggested trying it out. The inside is my…read morefavorite part. Very Mexican vibes which I loved. It was colorful and vibrant. Luckily there weren't that many people inside at the time we went, so we were able to get a table no problem. You order your food at the register first and then sit down where the food is brought to you. The person at the register was patient and helpful, answering questions as they came up. I thought that there were so many good options on their menu but I finally decided to go with an Asada Quesadilla with an additional side of rice and beans. I felt like we didn't have to wait too long for the food, which is always a plus. The quesadilla was cooked well, not being burnt and also not being too soft at the same time. There was a tasteful amount of cheese that didn't overwhelm like I sometimes feel some places do with their quesadillas. The portions were also good and satisfying. One thing is that I wish the rice and beans were included with more of their options as I saw that barely any (if at all) came with them which I feel like is a staple in most Mexican food restaurants. This caused the total price for my meal to be a bit higher than I would have liked. All in all, a decent place to try out if you're in this area.

    Pablo y Pablo has lots of menu options and serves cozy, hearty food that fills you up really well…read more Everything tastes great and is satisfying. The only downside was that the food took a while to arrive, which slowed down the experience a bit. Still, the quality and warmth of the dishes make it worth visiting.

    I was in the city again so where did I go to eat? Pablo y Pablo...twice...because I was that…read moreserious about them. Food/drinks: Vegan nachos with carnitas -- check! Still huge portions. Still delicious. Still gluten free friendly and dairy free. Watch out for jalapeños; the seeds are definitely in. Mulled wine -- yum! Agave daiquiri -- strong, interesting, wasn't my fave (didn't finish it). Sangria -- solid! Service: A little more than fine. Friendly. Helpful-ish. Checked in at the beginning but less so by the end both times (when a check in would have been useful). Food comes out quick. Ambiance: Still cute for happy hour, friend meet ups, date nights, etc. Not hurried or rushed. Consider a reservation if you want to be safe. Why 4 stars? It's really 4.5. Honestly, service plus the menu changed in the 2 days I was there, and I missed out on the hot chocolate drink I reeeeallllly wanted. I wish there would have been a heads up that I was getting the last day of the menu. Hope it's not another 3 years before my next visit P y P!
