Wonderful atmosphere, OUTSTANDING food, great service! If you haven't tried this place before, once you do it will become your favorite place in Seattle! You never knew how wonderful plant based food could be until you come here. Aaron, Jan and Chef Joe have created a gem of a place! Thank you for your passion!

So delicious I can't wait to go back! Gourmet vegan food that will blow your tastebuds out of the water! You must try this place even if you eat everything including meat. It is a refreshing change from the commonly found restaurants around town. There is heart, soul and farm to table deliciousness in each course! Delicioso!

By far one of the best meals of my life. Everything was fantastic. Of the five courses, my absolute favorite was the beet dish. The moscato pared with the apple pear dessert blew my mind. This will need to become a new tradition to celebrate the seasons. Cheers!!! �

When we switched to a plant based/vegan lifestyle, we were sure we couldn’t be foodies anymore... Harvest Beat proved us wrong!! All the dishes were visually stunning and absolutely delicious. Hubby and I loved watching Chef Marlon and Sous Chef Jacob make culinary art with each plate.... and then devouring their delicious masterpieces. We’ll be glued to your website every 3 weeks to see the new menu. We will definitely be back.

Probably the best vegetarian (actually vegan) meal I have ever had. Staff and chefs were incredible and so was the food.

We enjoyed a five course meal at Harvest Beat. Soup, salad, main, second, dessert. But it wasn't that simple. Each course was handcrafted from handpicked local vegetables. Chef Joe paired incredible flavors together to make our evening more than a meal. It was an event worth repeating.

The food was delicious, and so unique! We celebrated a joint birthday and got there early for a seat at the bar with a view of the kitchen. The chefs were very approachable and loved engaging us, and answering all of our questions. It was a wonderful experience.

One of the best restaurants I have ever been to. More of an experience then a casual dinner out.

Excellent food! Complexity of flavors (freshness, preparation style and presentation), nice ambiance, nice chatting with the staff! On November 30th they started their "new" 3 week menu. We were delighted of each course and the wine pairing was very nice too. I wouldn't mind to see a Prosecco instead of Cava from Spain, maybe it is done in other occasions. Hope to go back :-)

Had one of the best meals of my life here last night (again). If I could give 6 stars, I would. The love and appreciation that goes into this food is soul-nourishing. And perfect fuel for dancing all night! Thank you for being here, Harvest Beat!!

I have been to this place 4 times now and they never fail to impress. The delicate combination of flavors in every dish are so tantalizing to the taste buds that it sends chills up my spine on certain courses. This place is well worth the money, has excellent service, and is all around a fantastic experience. I see some negative reviews on here, and to be honest, I really don't understand any of them. Vegan or not, this all vegan restaurant is a must try for anyone looking for an interesting new experience of flavors. The seasonal menus also do a phenomenal job of capturing the taste of each season.

Phenomenal dinner. Possibly the best plant based fine dining I have had the pleasure of eating. Staff were so kind. Perfect mix of casual and formal - dishes were served to the entire restaurant party style. Non alcoholic pairing was a highlight - as someone who doesnt enjoy drinking it was great to enjoy handmade juices/elixirs that accentuated each meal. I loved that everything was sourced locally. The entire dining experience felt transparent, homey, and welcoming. Sitting by the kitchen and watching Jonathan work his magic was awesome. Will definitely come back!

Best vegan place for special occasions. Yes, it could seem a bit pricey, but the food, service, ambience, and the overall experience was worth every penny. Enjoyed every single item on our plates. The food surpassed the drinks (we opted for non-alcoholic pairing). Because we had reserved a table for our anniversary, they brought the desserts with candles which was a sweet touch to our special evening. :) I'd recommend this place.

I came with very high expectations for this place given the reviews, the pricing, and my liking for creative vegan cuisine. Unfortunately, I was left slightly disappointed with the food's taste. Granted, all the food was really good. However, with the exception of the corn chowder which was excellent, I was not very impressed by the menu. For example, the salad and the whole 4th course were just fine for my taste. The vibes, music, staff and service are all excellent. It is a great venue for a special occasion, and it was very sweet of them to bring a candle with the dessert. Given the steep price, I'd probably rather go to a different place next time. That being said, a new menu might be better...

Wonderful food and beautifully paired drinks- it was truly a great meal. The service is outstanding, everyone is so kind and welcoming. I wasn't sure what to expect with fine vegan dining but my goodness I am thoroughly pleased with everything. It's amazing to have such a nice option near home!

Amazing showcase of local foods! The fully vegan tasting menu has been a treat each and every time we go back. Always something new and interesting from Washington. I would highly recommend!

Unique Vegan WFPB experience! The creativity and care given to each course was amazing! Each course had unique flavors building to main course and dessert. Not only was it appealing to the palate but alluring to the eye! Excellent must try even if you are not vegan! We are vegan though and never have had this type of experience! Look forward to coming again when we are back to visit!

I’m visiting from Minneapolis, and my foodie friend suggested we try Harvest Beat. I’m a vegetarian, and I don’t drink alcohol, so I was excited to try a fully plant-based meal with mocktail pairings. It sounded right up my alley. The experience was overall solid, though I must say that I felt like I was in the “Farm” episode of Portlandia (if you know you know…) The chef took us on a verbal journey of the menu in such detail that it became a little excessive. They told us how each element was painstakingly prepared and where each ingredient was sourced. I love the pageantry of fine dining, but I found myself to be rolling my eyes by the end. The ambiance was both elegant and eclectic. I like that you’re able to choose your own table. I didn’t like the semi-chaotic and uncoordinated art adorning the walls. However, I will concede that the choices were bold and unique. The dinner playlist was excellent- lots of manu chao, r&b, and salsa. It really kept the energy buzzing. The highlights were the 1st and 3rd courses - the onion soup and the porcini mushroom confit. The onion soup was creamy and the flavor was complex. The porcini mushrooms were cooked to perfection, and this is the first time I genuinely enjoyed eating mushrooms on their own. Each bite was heaven. The mushrooms were paired with fun and balanced assortment of flavors and textures. The pesto and eggplant mousse were especially divine. The low points were the 4th course mocktail pairing and the texture of the 4th course dish - a savory Bloody Mary-type elixir and a squash lasagna respectively. The elixir was too savory for my liking, and the lasagna tasted excellent, but it was just a little too soft. It wouldn’t benefited from a bit of crunch. Also, to be honest, while each mocktail tasted fresh, they didn’t have much depth of flavor, and they left me wanting more. Overall, the meal was satisfying, and I left the restaurant feeling full (though my stomach was a bit upset). The dining experience cost $164 per person with tip, and I just don’t know if the quality of the food and drinks justified such a steep price. For that price, I want to be absolutely blown away by each and every item I consume. If nothing else, I really appreciated the originality of the concept, and I can’t say I’ve ever had an experience quite like this.

Fantastic. Great atmosphere, lovely staff and the food was perfect. The alcohol was great for the pairings, somewhere between a tasting pour and a full pour, which was just the right amount. The spanakopita was to die for. 12/10
