Harvest is in the midst of a month-long 40th birthday party – celebrate with the venerable Harvard Square restaurant over a special tasting menu from chefs Tyler Kinnett and Brian Mercury. The menu will feature items inspired by chefs who have spent time in the kitchen at the Cambridge institution—expect culinary nods to Chris Schlesinger, Sara Moulton, Barbara Lynch, Lydia Shire, Frank McClelland, Bob Kinkead, Jim Burke and Eric Brennan. Each evening offers a three-course dinner for $48 or a six-course tasting for $68, with wine pairings available for a $20 supplement. Call 617.868.2255 for reservations.
