THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Harvest Restaurant Review:

About the restaurant: As soon as you walk into Harvest, you know this Louisville restaurant is serious about the kitchen's relationship with the people who supply the ingredients. Farmers get rock star status with giant photos of their likenesses covering the walls of Harvest's down-home dining room. Repurposed church pews, wood floors, Mason jars for drinks, all contribute to the transplanted rural vibe.

Food & Drinks: Many of the menu's ingredients --- meats, produce, cheeses --- come from farms within a 100-mile radius of Louisville. Look for such dishes (seasonal, of course) as black eyed pea hummus, creamy grits and chicken livers with grilled cornbread, smoked sorghum, giardiniera and hot sauce. Continue with the half fried chicken, served with mashed potatoes, country braised greens, buttermilk gravy and hot sauce, or the Harvest burger with heirloom tomato, white BBQ sauce, Broadbent bacon and pickled vegetables. For dessert, you might encounter fun offerings like a “Cracker Jack” cheesecake with toffee popcorn and peanut brittle. Full bar includes reasonable wines, all from the U.S., excellent bourbons and very good craft beers. The taste for local even extends to the wine list. The servers are obviously proud of the farm-to-table approach and are happy to tell you about any and all of Harvest's suppliers.
