It's a dining experience 💫🍎 - Edit
This is a dinner party dining experience.
Read moreEveryone is seated at the same time, the chefs come out at the beginning to explain the courses and where they come from ( farm to table / foraged / vegan), and then we all eat at the same time. 5 courses with a wine or non-alcoholic pairing.
I notified the restaurant of my allergies beforehand and they were able to adjust the fixed menu for me.
The food was so amazing! I especially loved the apple fritters 🤤.

A Fun and Flavorful Dining Adventure - Edit
Harvest Beat offers a fun and unique dining experience where everyone enjoys each course at the same time, creating a lively and communal vibe. The five-course plant-based menu showcases seasonal ingredients, and each dish is like a little work of art. While the food is mostly fantastic, a couple of dishes packed in a bit too much flavor for my taste—less could’ve been more to let some ingredients really shine. Overall, it’s a great spot for anyone looking to enjoy delicious food in a friendly atmosphere.

Highly highly highly reccommend - Edit
My fiancee and I came here to celebrate our engagement and this was an amazing experience. Each course was amazing and the elixers that came with paired with each one perfectly. The chef explained each course at the beginning of the meal and every ingredient is from local farms! Definitely pricey but worth it for a really cool experience.

Just amazing - Edit
This was a real treat. I felt utterly pampered and loved every second. Super fresh, local or foraged ingredients, treated with love and care. Beautiful restaurant, relaxing vibes, incredibly clean kitchen, and chefs who make the ingredients sing. Very, very accommodating to dietary/allergy needs. Absolutely worth a visit.

Special, delicious meal - Edit
We loved the prix-fixe menu focused on locally foraged greens! So many things we had never tried before! And the nonalcoholic options were delicious. They weren’t too sweet.
Read moreWe visited in May 2023 & September 2024 and thoroughly enjoyed both visits. It’s very expensive, so a rare treat, but always satisfying when we can swing it.

Delicious food - Edit
Set menu with one sitting per evening. There's a choice with either wine or non alcoholic pairing. We had one of each and everything was delicious. The dessert was heavenly. Had the interior been done up a bit then I wouldn't be surprised if they receive a Michelin star. As it is now they should definitely be listed in the Michelin guide.

Fantastic treat! - Edit
Thursday night dinner before/for Mother’s Day. Everything delicious. 5-courses thoughtfully prepared. Even accommodated husband’s need for low sodium. Moved through the courses in perfect timing. I chose non-alcoholic elixir option. Family members had the wine pairings. Each plate beautifully presented. Organic, fresh, couldn’t ask for more. Arrived a bit early for the 7 pm seating and staff gave us an enthusiastic welcome and tour. Left satiated and smiling. Highly recommend.

Amazing food and experience for a special occasion - Edit
Amazing food, ambiance, and overall experience. I had the nonalcoholic pairing, and my husband had the alcoholic pairing. I thought the nonalcoholic drinks were even more special than the alcoholic ones. The food was excellent. Every course was unique and delicious, especially the lasagna and dessert. The ambiance inside was cute and cozy and felt upscale but also comfortable. We sat on the upper level near the kitchen, and it was fun to be able to see what was going on in there. The service was great. The price makes this a special-occasion experience for us, but it was certainly memorable.

Vegan Fine Dining! - Edit
Harvest Beat, nearly hidden amongst other businesses in the busier part of Wallingford’s North 45th St, is somewhat of a Seattle vegan staple these days. For one, while others might have similar ambiance, it’s the only real “fine dining” vegan restaurant in the city. Much more than ambiance though, the entire experience positively excels. The staff are professional and attentive, and the menu (with accompanying wine pairing, of course) is a 5 course prix fixe journey kicked off by the chef running the room through the night’s menu and noteworthy ingredients.
Read moreBeing a farm-to-table restaurant, those ingredients are typically very local, very fresh, and get used in very creative ways. I’ve yet to encounter any sort of faux meat in any of their dishes, and I believe things like breads and cheeses are typically made in-house. The menu is also constantly changing - while technically seasonal, availability means frequent tweaks, so you’re likely to have a fairly unique menu any time you go. It’s for that reason that I can’t really go into detail about my favorite dishes, I don’t even think I can even label my pictures accurately for that matter. As for the food, honestly, the first time or two I visited Harvest Beat years ago, I wasn’t as impressed as I expected to be. It was interesting, sure, but it seemed a bit underseasoned and overall underwhelming to me. I don’t know if there have been changes in the kitchen, I’d just visited on an off night, or maybe it was all me, but ever since I’ve loved every meal I’ve had, and at this point we try to visit at least once or twice a year, being something of a go-to for special occasions.
Harvest Beat is one of those rare vegan restaurants that’s so good, I suspect very few people in the room on any given night are actually vegan or vegetarian, and yes, it’s the perfect place to drag your wary friends to if you don’t think yet another Beyond Burger is going to stir them. Even if it’s a bit out of your price range, or a prix fixe menu isn’t quite your style, it's absolutely worth experiencing at least once!

Amazing food for a special night out - Edit
I loved the whole experience of this place and was so impressed by their seasonal menu. The food was phenomenal and the restaurant itself was stunning (sit on the patio if possible). I do enjoy that the menu is rotating but wish I could have the semolina cake again! it was my favorite cake i've ever had. I will say that it is very pricey so save this place for birthdays and anniversaries.

SO GOOD! - Edit
My husband and I agree this was the best dining experience we’ve ever had! I went for the wine pairing and he chose the nonalcoholic elixirs. We loved how fresh all the ingredients were. The staff was super friendly as well! It’s pricey but in this case you definitely get what you pay for.

Some of the best food I’ve ever had - Edit
This is where my partner and I go when there’s something really good to celebrate. We’d love to go more often but it’s too pricey. That said, it’s expensive for good reason and worth it if you can make it work.
Read moreWe’ve had four of their set menus over the years and every👏single👏dish👏 has been incredible. Their flavors and ingredient combinations are amazingly complex and creative, there’s a lot of fun that goes into tasting all the flavors of each dish. It truly is some of the (or maybe the?) most delicious food I’ve ever had, every time we go.
Experience wise, if you’re into practicing gratefulness and mindfulness you’ll appreciate the intro the chef does, going over the menu before the first plate is served to everyone and explaining where many of the ingredients came from. If you’re not into that, don’t worry, it’s a one and done deal at the beginning of the evening and then they bring out all dishes on a set schedule after that.
We’ve also been plenty full each time. The fact that this place impressed my omnivore parents and aunt really says it all, they are not shy about voicing their opinion and not easy to please.

Truly one of the best meals I have ever had. - Edit
The pairing of dishes, the freshness of ingredients, the kindness of the staff and quality of service made for a very special anniversary meal. It is a fixed price menu and I think that is how they run most nights. Highly recommended!

Best vegan food I’ve ever had - Edit
This restaurant is such a special treat. A 5 course meal dinner experience plated and served to everyone at the same time. The food is local and they have a seasonal menu that changes with the seasons. You can have a wine pairing with dinner, or a N.A. “elixir” pairing (my personal fav). Great date night spot or birthday, or any special occasion. All the food tastes amazing, and beautifully plated. I go back every year for my birthday, I’ve never been to a better restaurant than Harvest Beat.

Special birthday dinner - Edit
This place is so special! It’s intimate, welcoming, and delicious. I came here with my omnivore husband, vegetarian brother, and omnivore brother-in-law for my birthday. It was a Mexican inspired meal when we went and it was delicious. We all enjoyed each course and appreciated the friendly service. Definitely recommended.

Finest of vegan dining this side of the Mississippi - Edit
I love to spend any celebration I can at Harvest Beat, it's always a unique menu and top notch quality. It's impressive what can be done with such local and fresh ingredients - and the combination of drink pairings with each course is very interesting. Even with the non alcoholic set, it's always been very tasty.

Great date night atmosphere but food is over flavored - Edit
My husband and I were visiting Seattle, so we decided to check out Harvest Beat. We liked the whole farm to table idea. We ordered the non-alcoholic drink pairing with the 5 course meal. It started off wonderfully with a delicious salad and flavorful peaches. The soup was pretty good as well. The next course (Cascade Porcini Confit) was dribbled in a little too much oil. We were looking forward to the Lasagna which was the 4th (main course), but they put way too much smoky flavor in it. I think they could also go easier on the salt. We had high expectations for the 5th course which was a cake, but it was a little bit too sweet though we did like the moist consistency. The drink pairings were pretty good except for their rendition of the bloody mary which was also a bit over-flavored. I loved the sparkling raspberry thyme rose with a raspberry lemon cube. The service was really good, and we loved the ambiance and the presentation of the food was good. For the amount that was charged for dinner, we expected a bit more, but overall we had a nice experience. They did accommodate my gluten free preferences without an extra charge which gives them bonus points.

I wanted to like it more - Edit
I saw the menu on the website and it looked good so I made a reservation for my birthday. I was disappointed that the menu was different from the one I read on their website just 2 hours before, but I thought maybe I would still like the new menu. Overall, the food was creative and the flavor combinations were pleasantly different. I enjoyed the onion soup way more than I thought I would. I also really liked the smokiness of the mushrooms in the lasagna. But the squash was very sweet and so were some of the other dishes. In general I felt the balance of flavors was not really to my taste. We might try them again sometime, but I’m not sure I want to risk being disappointed when it’s so expensive.

One of my top meals ever! - Edit
A friend took me to Harvest Beat for my birthday dinner. The food, service, and atmosphere were all absolutely amazing. There wasn’t a single course (of the five courses) that wasn’t tasty and different from anything I’ve ever eaten. It’s pricey, so it’s not for everyone, but if you can afford it, definitely go!

Unique Vegan Chef Table experience - Edit
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!

This was probably the most fun dinner I have ever had, and the best food as well. All of the dishes were so creative and beautiful. It was such a fun experience to eat here! They put so much care and thought into the food. It is pricey so it may be more of a special occasion place for some.

Special Occasions made special - Edit
It’s not often you can find a vegan restaurant thats concept helps make special occasions more special! We were fortunate to dine with Harvest Beat for a birthday and wedding anniversary during our 2 1/2 months visiting Seattle. Because they change the menu every few weeks, it gave us opportunity to try new things. The staff is welcoming, friendly, and dedicated. I love that everyone is served the same thing at the same time, making you feel you are a part of something bigger and sharing the experience with many! Would highly recommend everyone have this experience.
