This place is amazing. The staff is nice and welcoming. The food is so good and the wine is priced well. Come for the food and leave with friends! And yes that is smoke on the shrimp!

The whole dining experience left a bad taste in our mouths and we would not recommend this restaurant because of the disrespectful and rude manner in which we were treated by the owner, Rik.My husband and I had dined at Harvest Thyme on one previous occasion about a year ago and had a pleasant dining experience. We decided to go there again to celebrate his recent birthday, and our party of 5 dined there on the evening of March 23, 2024.My husband ordered the pork chop dinner. Prior to placing his order, he specifically requested that the meat be cooked well done, that is, with no pink. Upon receiving his dish and cutting into the chop, he immediately saw that it was undercooked (showing pink), and informed the server (who, by the way, was not the server who took our orders). The server apologized and asked if he wanted it re-cooked. My husband, being turned off by the sight of the undercooked pork, instead requested chicken wings, with a side of fries. The server happily agreed to bring the substitution.We were thus all quite taken aback when another restaurant staff person, who did not identify himself, approached our table and angrily and rudely demanded to know why the pork chop was sent back. My husband explained to this person that he had requested a well-done pork chop, but received an undercooked chop instead. This person proceeded to have a hissy-fit, repeatedly insisting that the chop was well-done because he checked it himself. When our daughter asked him if he was the manager, we were shocked when he stated that he was the owner/chef! After continuing to rant for far too long, I told him that we would not ever dine at his restaurant again, and he stated, “fine,” or something to that effect.The server who initially took our orders dropped by the table a few minutes later to check on us and we told her about our experience with the owner. She returned again with another staffer, Anthony, who identified the owner as Rik. They apologized for Rik’s behavior — and we got the impression that it was not the first time they had heard such complaints about Rik. (We later surmised that Anthony might be Rik’s son)We were appalled that the owner of an establishment in the hospitality service industry would so rudely address his customers and tell them that their business was not appreciated. It appears that Rik is very thin-skinned and was offended that we found his cooking to be substandard.As for the taste of the food itself, the calamari was bland and chewy; the oysters were tasty, but way over-priced; my bison burger was rather bland, as were the chicken wings ordered by my husband and daughter-in-law. The pizza ordered by my daughter was adequate, as was the lasagne ordered by my son.In sum, our interaction with Rik left a sour taste to which we will not again subject ourselves. Nor would we recommend the restaurant to others.

I went with friends and had crab dip, lasagna, glass of wine and apple pie. The crab dip tasted more like cream cheese with a bit of crab than crabby; I wouldn't order it again. The lasagna was fresh but too cheesy; it overwhelmed the flavor. The waiter suggested I get extra sauce but it never came. The Syrah wine was crisp and smooth. The apple pie was excellent with a thick crust, lots of nuts and filling and had a yummy buttery taste. I recommend it.I like the ambiance and the family ownership feel of the place. The staff is well trained and efficient. We were annoyed by the numerous times (at least 6) someone stopped by to check on us. It became a distraction to our conversations. Further, we felt very rushed; they provide about 1:45 minutes to dine and they mean it. I suggest dining with no more than 2 people to make it worth the visit.I really like the place but the owner responses to the negative reviews have me concerned if I were to have an issue. I'll be joining a group of 8 soon so I hope it all goes well and we are not rushed in and out. I do another review afterwards.

Fantastic food at very reasonable prices. They do recommend reservations as they have a loyal following of repeat customers.

2017 - Unique menu. They took us for lunch even though not officially open yet. Very high quality food. First class wine. Highly Recommended.11/25/2020 - Ordered Thanksgiving Meal Take Out from Harvest Thyme.IMHO A traditional meal is always a good test of a top class establishment, and Harvest Thyme passed with flying colors.Everything perfectly cooked. Everything spiced just right. Sumptuous, and once again recommended.12/9/22 Lunch IMHO still the best cooking in the whole area. Highly professional open kitchen atmosphere (fun to hear the discreet interactions).Currently even better value for money.Very good service from Jacob (although it was very busy there), nevertheless we had to wait 25 minutes+ for our meals.It was worth it.The shrimp and mushroom day' s special was excellent but could have been slightly more. My Bison burger with risotto (instead of fries) were both excellent.Still very highly recommended and great to see them keep their standards very high indeed.3/23/23 Dinner for 3. Chicken Milanese, Lemon chicken with Risotto and tonight's special "Butcher's Cut" chicken, mushroom and prosciutto. All were excellent. Deserts were also superb caramel cheesecake, Peanut cake and strawberry cheesecake also all excellent. Quite busy but straight in at 6.30pm. Gino our server was excellent. IMHO Still the best cuisine for many miles around. Great job HTT!8/1/23 Revisit. Just as excellent as ever. Faster service, Extremely busy there but Gino's service was the best.1/11/24 Been a few times recently. No change. That is to say 5 Star consistent and the best food in the area. Lunch for 4. Excellent Steak, Bolognese (not on the menu) and Chicken Milanese. No deserts this time.

We visited for the first time tonight, New Years Eve. It was a fantastic experience. The drinks, food, and service were top notch. One of the best meals we’ve had. We will definitely come back.

We attended a private party here and loved it! Our server and chef were outstanding. Great food and really good wine. Didn't know it is also a wine store. Coming back soon, the wine was worth the drive! Highly recommend.Dietary restrictions: The chef seemed happy to accommodate. Everything made to order. Excellent.

I was surprised by this place. The food was good, they had a good wine selecion, and the staff was friendly. All the things you look for in a great restaurant.... just a bit closer to home.
