Harvest was featured in the July/August issue of “Sophisticated Living” magazine. Writer Bridget Williams had some great things to say about our menu, drinks, and overall concept. An excerpt from the article:
The meteoric rise in popularity of neighborhood farmers’ markets and CSA’s underscores the growing sentiment among their patrons that eating local nourishes more than the body. Factor in higher global food costs and becoming a locavore works on a multitude of levels for consumer and local farmers alike. Ivor Chodkowski , one of the region’s early and staunchest advocates of sustainable agriculture, helms the team behind Harvest, a locally focused casual fine dining restaurant on East Market Street. An organic farmer since 1997, Chodkowski operates the eight-acre Field Day Family Farm on the Bullitt property and facilitated Grasshopper Distribution, whose aim is to connect a portion of the 82,000 small farmers in Kentucky with a variety of steady customers, including fine dining establishments. His primary partners in Harvest include childhood friends, brothers Peter and Patrick Kuhl, as well as Jim McArthur.
We received this last week from OpenTable.com, the site that handle our online reservations:
“As a tribute to the excellent experience your restaurant provides, OpenTable.com diners voted your restaurant, Harvest – Louisville, onto the June 2011 OpenTable Diners’ Choice lists.”
Diners’ Choice lists are generated by the feedback received from folks who reserve their tables through OpenTable. OpenTable emails these diners asking them to complete a Dining Feedback Form about the different aspects of their dining experience. This feedback is available at the OpenTable website. In addition to providing us with feedback from recent diners, this feedback is used to select the local “top restaurant” lists published monthly on OpenTable.com.
