Harvest & Ale

The ambiance was absolutely incredible! From the moment you walk into the restaurant, you’re greeted with such great vibes that you can’t help but get excited. We sat at the upstairs bar and had some of the best drinks ever! The bartender was amazing—so professional, super friendly, and she kept the brightest smile the entire time. It truly made the experience unforgettable, will definitely be going back!

We were a party of four. First time getting together in a long time. Food was good and our server was nice. Our food took almost 45 mins to get to us even though other tables near us got their food quicker and they arrived later than us. While eating our dessert and drinking coffee, the very young hostess came over and said, "It's been 2 hours and I'm sorry but people are waiting for your table." I was literally drinking my coffee and eating my dessert still. When we approached the "manager" she was no help at all. I waved to her and she gave me the nastiest look and walked away. As we got up to leave, she finally walked over to us and said, "Ohhhh sorry" It's not like we were just sitting there having drinks. AND, there were no people waiting for tables!! They were so rude and unprofessional with their delivery to have us leave. Manager tried to blame the server too. In all my years I've never been to a restaurant and had them ask us to leave. Regardless of how many people are waiting for a table. Banned!

I’ve been here a couple of times and have never left disappointed. Today, I ordered food to go, and once again, I’m not disappointed. I’m very pleased that they genuinely care about good quality and fresh ingredients. The hostesses are also very nice. So far, this is my favorite place to go for a good dinner.

My family and I have wanted to try Harvest & Ale in Oakland, NJ, for years since I go to school nearby. We’ve always heard such great things about it, and I’m so glad we finally went—it completely exceeded our expectations!
Everything from the food to the drinks was spectacular. I ordered the “Farm Burger,” which was packed with flavor—the garlic aioli on top was the perfect finishing touch. The portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable, which made the entire experience even better.
The atmosphere was terrific. We sat upstairs, which had a more formal and intimate vibe, while downstairs seemed more casual and relaxed. The lighting, mood, and overall ambiance were set perfectly for a cozy night out.
Our waitress was fantastic—friendly and attentive. She gave us just the right amount of time to decide on our orders without making us feel rushed.
I usually don’t write reviews, but Harvest & Ale stood out and left a lasting impression. If you’ve been thinking about going, I highly recommend it—you won’t be disappointed!

The food was phenomenal. Our waiter George was spectacular. If I could eat breakfast lunch and dinner here I would! Can't wait to come back! I had the buttermilk baked scallops, Fried burratta. My fiancée had the halibut. Both entrees and appetizer were exceptional. Everything was cooked to perfection. The chocolate mousse finale did it for me! Love this place. Hats off to the chef.
