It is a restaurant poised at the cusp of very good into excellence. And admittedly, Sioux Falls was not where we expected to find a restaurant of this quality. The food alone or the wine alone are very, very good. Some of the dishes are divine, even. But it is in the pairing that the meal transcends, the components complementing and elevating each other. The menu changes constantly, kept current to Chef Bryan's dictates. So I won't try to predict or offer a guarantee that elements of my meal will be available. Instead, I can tell you of the harmony in flavors and textures found in my seared foie gras with black walnut marmalade and fig sorbet. or the surprise of how the slight formaldehyde note that lingered a bit past midway taste in the 2017 Hourglass Blueline Merlot disappeared and the wine gained complexity and harmony paired with the Roquefort toast. It is an art worth a detour to taste. Supported by the city, it has the promise of becoming worthy a journey on its own. Look read more

HK - Menu 11/05/2023 - New American Near Me - Sioux Falls, South Dakota

What a disappointment! We have dined at Harvester Kitchen and now HK since they opened. Our meal was mediocre at best. The cold asparagus salad was tasteless, the halib and waygu were both overcooked and the dessert definitely made the day before. The stars are for Ashley the sommelier... Interesting and well paired wines. We've just heard that Bryan had left when we dined there... thus the lackluster meal. We will try it again.... It is at $200 plus each.. so only worth one more try. It breaks our hearts as it was our go to for special occassions...and we loved chatting with Bryan about the ingredients at the end of each meal. Good luck to the new chef. He has GIANT shoes to fill. read more

Everybody has to come to Harvester Kitchen by Bryan at least once in their life! We were celebrating my wife's birthday and I asked if they could do anything special for her and when they showed us to our seat they had a crown for her! This was the sweetest and most caring thing a restaurant has done for us even when they did not need to. They really went out of their way to give us a special night. This place is beautiful and perfectly decorated. It was a nice romantic night with some of the most fantastic food I have tried! We tried the 5 course tasting menu and it blew us away! One of the dishes were Beets and I don't even like beets but they made it taste so delicious I really don't know how they did it. Favorite dish was the fish dish in garlic sauce. We were blown away with all of the flavors we had that night. Like I said, please please please try this place at least once in your life! read more

This was an amazing culinary experience. The staff is amazing. Our server Iliza (sorry if I spelled the name wrong) was amazing! Super down to earth and helped us with great suggestions of what to order. Best experience I have had in a VERY long time. We don't have food like this in Arizona so it was very special! The decor is wonderful, the music was spot on, and the space is put together very well. I would recommend this place to everyone!! We were taken on an epic journey with our tastebuds. A lot of care and thought was put into everything we ordered. Well done!!! read more

Wow just wow!! I did not expect this in Sioux Falls South Dakota. Everything was awesome. The service and the food quality was as good if not better than most gourmet restaurants in NYC, LA or Las Vegas. I was so impressed with the server team they were so knowledgeable about the wines and foods. Everyone came from a scratch kitchen so it was super fresh. The flavors and quality veers amazing. This is definitely in the top ten of meals I have eaten. I will definitely come back again. read more

We had another amazing foodie experience here. As expected, the menu was slightly different than last month's and was just as exciting. We had the same sommelier who once again was accommodating and knowledgeable. Perfect service as before. read more

Impeccable service. My friend had the steakhouse tasting with a few substitutes. For the most part nothing impressive. I went a la carte as its restaurant week. For my entree I choose the chicken. I've had better meals on airplanes while flying coach!!! Absolutely insipid read more

Attention to detail is unmatched in Sioux Falls. Food is out of this world. We will be back soon!!

Would give it 6 stars if I could. Double the seating and triple the prices and its a right at home in the UES of Manhattan. Despite the exquisite cuisine, it is decidedly NOT pretentious and the ambiance is warm and welcoming. Special note to the service staff as they're clearly top notch, highly skilled, and highly trained. Outstanding. read more

Whenever I visit Sioux Falls, I sure hope to be able to make it back to Harvester Kitchen by Bryan. Last year, a smaller group of us ordered off the regular menu and enjoyed every dish. This year, I was lucky enough to be invited to join a larger group and sample their tasting menu. For me, what sets this restaurant apart even more so than the food is kind and friendly staff who are incredibly passionate about providing top-notch service. In an era when customer service seems to be a lost art, the folks at Harvester Kitchen make you feel welcomed and that they're happy you chose to dine with them. It truly elevates the experience even more, as they are simultaneously unpretentious and comfortable, yet extremely professional and knowledgeable about the menu. We had the Steakhouse tasting menu, and the starters of the smoked goat cheese gougeres and the arancini. Everything was delicious, but my absolute favorites were the smoked goat cheese gougeres and the American wagyu striploin. I'm a sucker for anything with goat cheese, and the smoked aspect in this dish elevated the flavor to new heights. While I enjoyed the other 2 beef courses on the tasting menu, the wagyu striploin had the most concentrated pure beef flavor. We started with sparkling wine for the appetizers, then there were bottles of a chablis and a pinot noir for the tables. The chablis was nice, straightforward and drinkable, pairing well with the first courses. What really surprised me was how much I liked the pinot noir. I usually prefer a zinfandel, montepulciano or even a red blend, but this Domaine Drouhin was outstanding, very smooth and drinkable. As I mentioned earlier, what really sets Harvester Kitchen apart is their team. Maggie and Ashley took care of us with warm, friendly professionalism and Alton the manager stopped by to chat, sincerely pleased with how much we all enjoyed the experience. We loved them all and can only hope to return next year. read more

Amazing food! We love it here. The menu is very innovative and the service was attentive. We loved the wine pairing with the courses. Must try! Amazing food! We love it here. The menu is very innovative and the service was attentive. We loved the wine pairing with the courses. Must try! read more

So I finally made it to Harvester Kitchen by Bryan. I was really looking forward to trying this place after listening to the reviews, this place exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The service was absolutely exceptional, the staff were all professional, the attentiveness to our questions was impeccable, and that's just walking in the door, getting seated and ordering. As someone who's reviewed many restaurants I can say without hesitation that the food was absolutely incredibly delicious, from the fresh warm bread roll to the Raw Oysters with Caviar followed by the Blood Orange Glazed Octopus, finally the American Wagyu Tenderloin with Parsnip, Saba Braised Cipollinis In Red Wine Sauce. The dinner was paired with a glass of red wine (Cabernet Sauvignon) at the servers suggestion. Everything was delicious, the presentation, impeccable. This is a fine dining experience everyone should try. I highly recommend you give this place a visit. read more

We have eaten here a number of times and the food and service have been incredible each time! We can't recommend it highly enough!

This ambitious new Sioux Falls restaurant was an absolute delight on our recent visit over Labor Day weekend. There is an obvious focus on customer service, though that is only the beginning, as each element of the dining experience brings out the best of the very well trained staff, of course starting with the kitchen. There is a beautifully designed interior space when the weather is too cold to sit on the lovely patio outside. I was especially impressed by each interaction with our servers; a pleasant surprise for me was reading through the thoughtful wine list, and then barely speaking the name of the producer (not mentioning the varietal) when our server immediately identified the wine, a sign of the kind of detail we experienced throughout the meal. Each course was well thought out, some better than others, though none that didn't have appeal and quality ingredients. Yes to the amazing mussels (!), the outstanding corn soup veloutte, the amazing onion soup toast (!) and to the ling cod (though needed a bit more seasoning in the sauce). A little less jam on the foie gras bites would be an improvement. Hats off to the owners and management for their ambition & commitment to promote fine dining in this beautiful city. We enjoyed our visit and highly recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was great. Service was ok, Wish they had a bar. I felt the place was overpriced for what we got. Again food was great, but overpriced for me. read more

Outstanding food and service in a beautiful dining room. Service timing was excellent. Highly recommended!

This place is remarkable! Yes, it's a bit pricey, but entirely worth it. My husband had the tasting menu, and each course was innovative and absolutely delicious. I had the Gorgonzola ravioli: to die for. The service is impeccable! The staff is welcoming and knowledgeable, and everyone is well trained. This restaurant is a gem. read more

Ambiance is this restaurant's best feature and it is superb. The food quality and service are also excellent. Unfortunately, the portion sizes are quite small and the prices very high. If you are at all concerned about the amount of food and drink you get for the price you pay, this place is not for you. If you are not concerned in this regard, you'll love the ambiance and the food will be tasty. read more

I was thoroughly underwhelmed. This could have been because I had high expectations based on what I'd heard. The service was excellent however and Bryan's wife was very cordial and polite. I was not impressed by the food. It was okay but not memorable. I dined with a friend and we both agreed we could have made ourselves better dishes. That is not a good feeling when one dines out at a restaurant of this caliber. I likely will make one more trip for the purposes of fairness. Ambiance 8/10 Service 8/10 Taste 5/10 Flavor 4/10 Noise level: quiet Recommendation factor: 7/10 Return factor: 8/10 read more

Very unique dining experience in SiouxFalls. Plan on 2 1/2 hours for your meal. The service is above anything I've ever had.

My wife and I could not pass up the opportunity to enjoy Chef Bryan's cuisine again after our excellent experience with many of his restaurants including the Oval Room, Potenza, Adega and others. Every course of the tasting menu was exquisite. I cannot decide which was my favorite, the Butter Poached Lobster, Japanese Wagyu, Foie Gras Tart or the Shades Of Chocolate. They were all spectacular. The staff were warm and welcoming. We look forward to returning to Sioux Falls again to visit Harvester Kitchen. Washington DC's loss is definitely Sioux Falls gain. read more

Very intimate setting for a very unique dining experience. Very comfortable environment with amazing food. I'm not usually one for fine dining (more of a casual guy), but this was probably my favorite fine dining experience. It was casual in all the right ways, but the food was next level. My wife did the five course meal, and each course was fun and delicious. I was able to sneak a bite of one of her courses (scallops), and I can honestly say it was the best bite of food I've ever had, no joke. It's pricey, but if you're gonna do a night out, this is the spot. Will definitely eat here next time I'm in Sioux Falls. read more

Great food, incredible service, worth the cost for a special dinner. It's great to see a restaurant of this quality in Sioux Falls

Amazing courses. Staff were very pleasant and knowledgeable. good price for what you experience!

The Harvester never disappoints. The food and wine pairings compete well with some of the best restaurants in the world. And for Sioux Falls it is a blessing to have a restaurant of this caliber. By local standards it is a bit expensive but by the standards of this type of restaurant, it is completely in line. The staff is truly one of the best reasons to come here. Friendly, knowledgeable and very service oriented, they are truly exceptional. The setting is simple and comfortable . The ambiance is quiet enough to carry on a great conversation but has a vibe that feels energetic. The menu changes monthly. This particular evening the first course was a tiny caviar "ice cream cone". Truly one of the most amazing starts to a meal I have ever experienced. Mussels, dover sole, wagyu beef all followed. All great, but I can't wait until they bring that caviar back! read more

Dinner tonight was impeccable, from service to ambiance to food. There was excellent attention to detail in every respect. Particularly impressive is the wide array of vegetarian options, down to the awareness that gelatin may be problematic for some. Thank you for this wonderful experience--we wish we lived closer so we could come again soon! read more

This is a bummer for me. I would say this is 3.5 stars but gave them the benefit of the doubt. While visiting Sioux Falls for the first time I was excited they had a restaurant with a tasting menu. We made reservations for a Saturday night. It's a lovely restaurant and we were greeted warmly. We had 2 adults and 2 kids 10 & 12 and they are used to fine dining all over the world so they are well behaved. Immediately our server was very curt and I would say unfriendly. It was off putting. My husband and I ordered the tasting menu and even added a course (cheese plate). She didn't ask if we wanted to do a wine pairing (we would've) it was too late once we noticed they had one. When they started bringing out the tasting after the 2nd course I noticed there was only one plate. Apparently they thought we wanted to share a tasting???? Nope we wanted our own but at that point we just left it but very odd they would make that assumption. We by no means intentionally ordered that way. There was little description of each course. Food was beautiful but under flavored and seasoned I thought. It was just ok. The service needs WORK!!' Maybe was just our server or they didn't like that we brought kids. Not sure but we felt uncomfortable and wanted to get it over with! read more

The Harvester Kitchen is a restaurant you must eat at. All the entrées we had this evening blew my mind. I will definitely be returning very soon. Words can describe the wonderful experience we had. read more

Very nice meal. Wonderful service. Interesting building in a nice location. Varied menus.

An absolutely incredible meal. The thoughtfulness and attention to detail was outstanding, as was the service. Everyone working there seemed genuinely excited to be a part of what Harvester Kitchen is doing. We ordered: chips and garlic dip, cheese plate, tortellini, gold tomato's, egg noodles, lamb, cauliflower, and a number of desserts -- all where phenomenal. Go here. read more

WOW! One of the best meals I've ever had. Innovative, fun, delicious, and an EXPERIENCE. My husband and I were in Sioux Falls for the road trip part of our honeymoon. We went here for a celebratory honeymoon meal and were beyond impressed! The atmosphere, service, presentation, wine list, unique combination of ingredients (e.g. squid ink crostini topped with tuna tartare, edible flowers, creme fraiche, lemon, and seaweed oil) and of course ridiculously delicious food were all exceptional. The chef, waiters, and other staff were all very friendly and proud of the culinary experience Harvester Kitchen offers. Chef Bryan is a culinary genius and we can't wait to dine here again. If you're anywhere near Sioux Falls, eat here asap! read more

I travel to Sioux Falls once a year, and my favorite restaurant is the Harvester Kitchen. This year, I discovered the menu had changed to a fixed price structure with three options (vegetarian, seafood & meat). Each consisted of five courses with the choice to add on. I was initially hesitant, since I can be a little picky and like to have more control when ordering. But the food was amazing and I savored every bite. Every course was delicious. The service was excellent, and the ambience was relaxed and welcoming. Love this place- I'll be back next year! read more

I really want to see this place do well, it is much needed in Sioux Falls! However, I have to say I expected more. Beautiful building and great ambiance. Service was excellent. Great variety of dishes on menu. Wine list was a little droll. I would like to see more unique/small production offerings. I had 5 different small plates. The food was all presented beautifully, the flavor just wasn't there. I hate to say it, but very flat taste and texture profiles. For $60+, not sure it was worth it. I hope they can improve on their flavors before my next visit. read more

Great new spot! Lovely, cozy space, attentive and knowledgeable service, innovative, interesting menu and wine list, and excellent food. Looking forward to coming back! read more

My husband and I stopped in here a few days ago while exploring Sioux Falls. Very glad we did! From the service (I believe his name was Bryan?) to the food, everything was top notch. The food was creative and delicious. One of the best meals we've had in a long time. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and we enjoyed conversing with him throughout the meal. Ten out of ten recommend! read more

I'm not one to write a review (ever), but in this case, I felt compelled. What an experience! Everything we ordered, from the onion toast and mussels to the entrees (beef and sole) was absolutely magnificent. The Potatoes Dauphine are a must-try! Bryan is a master saucier. Do yourself a favor & go! read more

Had a spectacular dimmer here while passing through Sioux Falls.I would be a regular here if local! My dad and I split the cheese plate; strip loin for him and chicken for me (both great but the chicken won out on originality); lemon tart for dessert. It was all beautifully prepared, presented, and served by a wonderful staff. read more

Beautiful food that tastes wonderful! We were not expecting such a unique restaurant with classic French touches in Sioux Falls but this was a gem to find on our vacation. The waitress was very knowledgeable and was able to give us really good descriptions of the food - which was important because there were so many intriguing options to chose from. We started with the sherry glazed scallops and the gingered beet salad. Both were visually appealing and tasted great. For our entrees my wife had the trout and I had the roasted cauliflower. Both were delicious with interesting foams and sauces to taste. The warm, crunchy bread was also delicious. We were too full to try the interesting sounding desserts but finished with some port. Not sure of the pedigree of the building but it looked like an older building that has been restored but either way the decor was very appealing. You could go casual here or make it a nice date. If we were not just passing through town we would definitely go back. read more
