Back of the House Summer 2010 Issue

Harvest

With picture windows reflecting the Capitol, Harvest is a cozy restaurant with heart. Operator Tami Lax and Executive Chef Derek Rowe—both formers at L’Etoile—don’t mess around when it comes to serving up seasonal, locally-grown and organic food. The kitchen hums with precision prepping, and the crew cooks together much like the Harvest icon—peas in a pod. We got to squeeze into the kitchen to watch one of Harvest’s six-course theme dinners come to life. It was difficult to pick out the chef in the laid-back kitchen as the crew (and baby on board) worked with grace under pressure and unrelenting focus to wow a group of sixty in just a few short hours. Visit www.harvest-restaurant.com for information about their upcoming theme dinners, and make your reservation by calling 608-255-6075.
