Harvest restaurant last week was named a semifinalist for the prestigious James Beard Foundation’s “Best New Restaurant” Award. The award honors “a restaurant opened in 2011 that already displays excellence in food, beverage and service and is likely to have a significant impact on the industry in years to come.”

The Beards–known as the “Oscars of the food world”–will be presented on May 7 at the Lincoln Center in New York. See a list of all semifinalists here.

The James Beard Foundation is a New York based non-profit created in honor of Chef James Beard and dedicated to the food industry. The finalists will be announced on March 19.
