Local spot with cute artsy city vibe. The menu is incredibly creative,from the ordinary to the unique with daily/weekly specials. They offer hot or cold options with a side salad or chips. They have incredible fresh baked cookies to indulge yourself. Lots of bottled drink options to complete your meal. I mostly eat in as I enjoy the staff, and the ambience. They have seating inside and bistro tables outside in good weather. To enjoy the view on Main Street along with your lively food. Portions are lunch sized and not meant for sharing unless you order a few then it makes tasting a little of everything easier. You will be delighted and add this to your favorite Madison spots. Let's not forget they have an extensive catering menu and a reputation for going above and beyond for catering customers. What a true small town gem!! read more

I stopped in for a quick lunch. Service was fast and polite! I ordered the lemon orzo chicken soup (absolutely delicious) and a spinach salad with candied walnuts, goat cheese and fig dressing!!!! Everything was so fresh and delicious. Definitely coming back tomorrow! read more

Great place! They don't have a kids menu but my toddler was still able to get chicken tenders and fries. The food was delicious with quick and friendly service. We will definitely be coming back to try more things. read more

Super quaint and cozy. This is one of many hidden gems in the heart of Madison New Jersey! Lovely decor, giving you fall vibes all year round... The owner himself is usually there greeting you and recommending suggestions. I tried the new summer menu including a chicken berry salad and also a coconut chicken salad which wow was so amazing ! Also tried the Turkey wrap which came with granny smith ! I will definitely be back for dinner read more

Amazing experience! I was visiting with my son and his wife in Madison and was lucky enough to stumbled upon this quaint establishment. We were warmly greeted by Walter at the counter. He was more than willing to help us work our way through the menu. My request was to split a large salad with my wife. Walter had the salad split between two plates for us with a side of delicious fresh rolls. My son ordered the Cuban sandwich with a side of potato salad and my daughter-in-law had the homemade chicken pot pie. All of the food was well prepared and presented beautifully. Everything was super fresh and made to order. The decor was very warm with a home-like feeling. Walter was a wonderful host and made our first experience delightful. This is one of those small, independent restaurants that is worth adding to my favorite bistro list. I am looking forward to visiting The Harvest Bistro the next time I am in Madison, New Jersey. read more

The sandwich was just okay to me. I was expecting something that was a different taste, a more exciting taste for my taste buds but this was not it. I did not like the sweet taste on the sandwich from the sauce. It overpowered everything else. Just okay for my overall experience read more

One of my favorites in Madison! The guys working here are so friendly and helpful and I enjoy every interaction! They use high quality ingredients and I love their take on many classics. It's always a higher quality, healthier, yet more delicious version. They regularly update their specials menu so get your favorites when they're available! There are many sandwiches that I really enjoyed when they were specials so now I have to just keep a lookout for when they come back. Regrettably I did not know at the time that the specials menu changes so I never wrote them down! One of my favorite things to get here is the chicken tenders. They are juicy, tender, with a light breading that offers the perfect crisp. And I love their honey mustard, it is very simple and very delicious. House salads are always very fresh and I enjoy their balsamic vinaigrette dressing. The menu has a huge variety of offerings and I look forward to trying more! read more

Quaint store with good sandwiches and soups. Went with the fam bam and had a plethora of sandwiches/wraps/salads. The turkey provolone pesto panini was amazing, thin and crispy with good amount of sauce just how I enjoyed it. Had a couple of roast beef variations and they all enjoyed it, soft and tasty. The salads were decent too, surprisingly the kid enjoyed it too! Come for a simple light lunch and walk around the area after. Parking was easy to find, street for 1.5-2 hrs. read more

Harvest Bistro is a true gem located on the heart of Madison, NJ. After buying our first house, also located in Madison, my husband and I enjoyed a celebratory lunch at Harvest Bistro, and couldn't have felt more welcome to the community (and also thrilled that we now lived so close a place like Harvest Bistro so we could go again and again). Since that lunch, we've introduced it to our parents and have frequented it ourselves. We ordered from the Harvest Bistro NYE menu for NYE 2021. The menu had killer options, we really couldn't resist, especially after the tumultuous 2020. We ordered hummus, Swedish meatballs, brisket sliders, and brie + apricot in phyllo dough. All four options were beyond delicious - perfect in every way. They gave us plenty of extra rolls so we could have leftovers. So happy we did this and can't wait to order from a special menu again! The owner and head chef are awesome, and true staples of the community. The food is delicious and fresh, and imaginative yet classic. We are big fans of their sandwiches/paninis for a perfect lunch! read more

I ordered a Chicken sandwich and as an after thought order a cup of tomato soup. The sandwich was very good and fresh, but the tomato soup stole the show. Had to go back the next day for a bowl. It is by far the best tomato bisque soup, I've ever had. Anytime I'm in the area, I will be stopping. read more

Found this great place right here on Yelp! Was looking for a an excellent caterer for my business accounts and WOW is this place on point! The owner, Tushar, was wonderful on the phone with helping me figure out what would be the best fit for that particular event. It's been over 8 months since I've used the catering on a weekly basis and the food is always fresh, on time delivery, and unique for each event! I also bring some of my clients to lunch here. Anytime I know I'm heading over I just give the owner a call/text and he quickly responds and saves me the best spot (in my opinion) in the house. The cozy window seat with an awesome view! If you haven't guessed it by now..I'm absolutely in love with this place! Haha! Because wait...here's the best part: They also have DINNER SERVICE I take my daughter here for dinner every once in a while. Walt, head chef, always makes sure my oh so picky eater is satisfied and leaves with a full belly and even saves a special desert for her. We always feel so at home here! The grilled octopus on the dinner menu is to die for! Laid on top a bed of wilted spinach and quinoa. Topped with grilled red onion & roasted peppers with a delicious balsamic glaze. Whether it be lunch, dinner, or catering...take my advice and give it a try! read more

oh boy where do I start. Penne vodka I don't think so penne in pink goo maybe and chicken francaise not even close. Feel bad for a family member that trusted a friend that said order from here for Easter oh well. I could not give it a zero or I would. she should get a full refund. read more

Came across Harvest Bistro when we were looking for a byob to eat at before our play at Drew. So glad we went. Chef Walt greeted us and checked in throughout our dinner. He was so personable, it made for a wonderful experience. The food was delicious. We had the hummus appetizer and the brisket and ribs meals for dinner. The meat was so tender and flavorful. We will definitely be back again soon! read more

Their lunch menu is awesome! I've been here twice. Had a salad with chi the first time and their chicken quinoa bowl the second time. Both were excellent. Great flavors and fresh ingredients. If you're looking for something other than your typical sub shop, I highly recommend you try this place. read more

Quaint atmosphere. You can actually have conversations! Music soft but audible. Inviting and energetic atmosphere. BYOB. Kinda nice they don't fall into the rote restaurant having to offer the typical pop/soda. In lieu, Harvest Bistro offers healthy/hydrating/refreshing beverage options. The food...DELICIOUS! We had the triple decker quesadillas and the rigatoni brisket bolognese. The quesadillas were crispy and the bolognese sauce amazing!!! Highly recommend the rigatoni brisket bolognese. Flavors are amazing - not your typical meat sauce. Go with 2-4 friends. Only 4 stars due to staffing levels. All staff were accommodating and friendly. Eventually 2 servers would be ideal. Absolutely see them needing to move to that very soon. This is going to be a very hot, trendy, unique place. Get there soon before you need to book months in advance! read more

This place was fantastic. Had a ham and Brie sandwich because I can't say no to Brie. So many fantastic things on the menu that I'm dying to try. Dining partner had something else that was great, but I'm still thinking about my ham and brie, so there. Started my meal with tomato and zucchini soup. Reminded me of a dish my mom makes (which is a great compliment)! And AND I can't forget that they also serve my favorite Pellegrino soda. Grapefruit... yaaas! read more

Always very friendly service and great food to match. They have a fantastic shrimp and corn chowder also and I have heard from others that their other soups are just as good. The black forest croissant is addictive too! Their hours aren't all that long, so they're more of a lunch place or caterer. Now I have moved away since beginning to write this review, but I am sure that they are just as good as they were. I had come here for years on lunch breaks, and they were always consistent and delicious. read more

A hidden gem. I was just driving through the area and their roast beef pics caught my attention. Their Bistro Roast Beef sandwich and Steak House Salad were such amazing dishes. It had to be the best meal I've had in NJ in such a long time. read more

I was nearby Madison and looking for a healthy choice for lunch. I searched the internet and I found Harvest Bistro. Based on the almost 5 star review and the fact that my rescue Pitbull was named after Harvest Farm to Table Restaurant in Connecticut I had to give it a try. Harvest Bistro exceeded my expectations. Chef Walter and the staff were friendly and welcoming and the food was outstanding. We had the broccoli and cheddar quiche, Turkey and Quinoa salad and eggplant sandwich on a baguette. Definitely a must try if you are in the area. My Harvest gives it 5 stars!!! read more

Tushar and his cozy place on Main Street have been a family favorite for literally 20 years. My parents had a routine where they went there every day for coffee and were welcomed and embraced. They hosted their 55th wedding anniversary for we kids at what was then called On A Roll. Now, Harvest Bistro has become the spot where I take my 91-year-old mom for a bowl of soup on weekends. She has dementia and does not remember anyone but is no less warmly welcomed. Tushar's crew, especially Walter, are amazing!! And the food (homemade chicken orzo soup is our go to) is just as delicious as the vibe!! read more

I can't believe it took a pandemic for me to discover this place! I literally came back two more times in the same week after my first visit because I saw so many things on the menu that I couldn't wait to try. Speaking of which, the menu features very tasty and creative takes on old standby's. What Chef Wally can do with a grilled cheese is memorable. And his brisket... well, words fail me. Run, not walk to the Harvest Bistro. Although outside dining is probably finished, their take-out Thanksgiving menu made me want to invite people over just to serve them some of the appetizers. 5 stars to Chef Wally's gentlemanly manners and wonderful way with food! read more

What I like about this place is everything is made from scratch, even most of the meats. The menu has original selections. I had the eggplant which was one of the best I've had. Also tried the lobster shrimp salad and potato salad. I enjoyed everything a lot. read more

Great little place for lunch! Delightful decor, comfortable setting. I had the tuna salad special, which included a great green salad with beets, feta, and spicy peppers. I could have gone for more peppers, but I know not everyone agrees. Salad lunches often leave me hungry, but this one came with a warm roll big enough to make a sandwich. Yum! My husband had the Monterrey BLT, made with turkey bacon. He would have liked more cheese, but definitely enjoyed the sandwich. We've marked this place in Yelp so we can visit again the next time we're in the area. read more

Harvest Bistro is a gem. My fiancee and I went there for lunch and we were charmed by the atmosphere, the pleasant, friendly service and most of all our our delicious sandwiches and soup.

Amazing foooooood ! Love the lunch sandwiches and dinner at harvest bistro ! Walter is da best chef !!!

I discovered this gem when they came to the The Max of Madison food/nutrition seminar. I've been meaning to order takeout, and when I finally had a chance to, it was in between teaching the evening classes at The Max Challenge across the street. I stopped in there to place an order to pick up on the way home. I didn't realize they have hours in the day where they aren't open to public (my mistake), but the girls working the cashier was super graceful about it. The supervisor on the other hand, not so much. The food was great though, so I would still recommend...just take note of the break in schedule when they're not open. read more

Outstanding place for lunch! I went back a second day in a row after my first time and the food and the service were great both times. I had the felafel wrap which was scrumptious! The coconut grape chicken salad was first class! And I am not a big coconut fan! The food was fresh and well prepared. The service was warm and welcoming. read more

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HARVEST BISTRO FOR CATERING or for a meal in beautiful downtown Madison, NJ My husband and I had a small private wedding so decided to host our first wedding anniversary party at our house for friends. We had never used a caterer, so I ask a friend for names. Harvest Bistro was one, so we went to dinner one evening to try it out. The food at dinner was so delicious, we decided not to try any other caterers! Thanks to Tushar, the owner, we couldn't have asked for a better experience in every way. Within two days after we had dinner, Tushar came to our house to discuss the menu and review the layout. Three weeks before the party he came over again to help finalize specifics. Tushar and two servers from Harvest Bistro arrived at our house one hour before the party started and worked non-stop for four hours. He was personally involved in making and plating the food and ensuring everything went smoothly the entire time. Everything was amazing...the food, the presentation, the servers. They handled everything from setting up to leaving our kitchen spotless! Guests remarked that the variety, quality, and presentation of the food were all over the top. Our menu included starters of cheese and light appetizer stations followed by a wide variety of delicious hot appetizers, all cooked to perfection and hand served to over 60 guests. When they left, our kitchen was cleaner than when they arrived! My husband and I were delighted there were a few leftovers, which he also put away for us. Guests are still raving about the food! I can worry and be an overthinker, but he reassured me he would take care of everything and that we just needed to enjoy our anniversary party and that's exactly what we did thanks to Harvest Bistro and Tushar! Thank you Tushar for helping us create such a memorable and special evening! We'll see you soon. Debbie and Geoff read more

Harvest Bistro catered a delicious meal for our graduation party a few weeks ago. Tushar was incredibly helpful and accommodating. The meal was beautifully prepared, easy to reheat, and enjoyed by all. It was also a great value. We will definitely be back! read more

On a roll is a great healthy option for those looking for a light lunch! I ordered the club chicken BLT on a wrap and it was excellent! The wrap came with a bag of chips. The ingredient I liked most about the wrap was the balsamic vinaigrette, it complemented the taste of chicken nicely. The service was fast/ polite, atmosphere tasteful, and nice. read more
