output: A sub place that hosts bike nights, has beer on tap and has cute girls working? Count me in. I have been here twice now for the Team Arizona bike nights, second wednesday of every month, and been impressed both times. While not a huge crowd the place has been busy and they do a good job churning out the food in a timely manner. The first thing you think when you walk in is that it feels like a Quiznoes...well that is because it was one in the past. Next you will be asked what you want and what choices of toppings and dressings you want. I like the spicy Italian combo with everything hold the mayo. The meats here a good and seem more like at a traditional deli than a subway where it is over processed meats. I am not sure but wouldn't be surprised if it was sliced in house. All the veggies taste fresh and for a pickle lover like me they have very tasty ones. I haven't tried them but I have been told the wings and fries are good here as well. Coming for bike night I usually show up with a group of friends and everybody has been pretty universal in the praise for the food. Also the prices are good including a 8" Italian combo for $2.99 that you really can't beat price wise. If you check in on yelp they have a check in offer as well. My only complaint is this place isn't closer to me and/or in an area I normally travel to but when I am in the area I am stopping in for more and when bike night rolls around doesn't matter if it's 100+ degrees I am heading over.

output: Honestly I would say 4.5 stars since there are a few things that need improvement (discussed later) but I'm rounding up to make up for all the 1-2 star peeps who clearly have skewed expectations, bad attitudes, or both. I've eaten at Harvest twice in the last two months: December was a lavish dinner in all respects. I also ate here with 5 friends during restaurant week 2010. Thus I think I can provide some unique insights. The constants for me during both dinners were: impeccable service, great wine list (which incidentally had been revamped with many new budget friendly bottles when I came for restaurant week), and simple, clean flavors. Yes, during restaurant week, the menu evolved to accommodate the throngs of diners at the $25 price they demand. I enjoyed my short ribs immensely. Tender, slow braised (sorry Gina S., but this preparation takes way over 30min by any means known to man), full of flavor. Roasted beets were delicious although I could have used more of the mascarpone. Apple crisp was drizzled in delicious creamy goodness and a was a nice ending. Portions were ample. If you want to pig-out, go to friggin Taco Hell where you can most assuredly get 25 "new!!" bean and cheese burritos. If you want the full experience though, you have to pay the full price (i.e. save some scrillah and go at a time not equal to restaurant week). In December it went like this: Bomb scallops, steamed clams as good as I've had on the coast, arctic char cooked to perfection, creative cocktails, slammin $90 amarone, absinthe served the right way, chocolate cake, caramel ice-cream...la la la. Makes me fat and happy just reminiscing. Finally, my gripes: 1. The cocktails are good for the average joe, but generally too sweet for the afficionado. 2. My steak. By all accounts a testament to what beef should be - grass-fed, cooked perfectly, sauce yummy, but salt....salt it could have used a bit more of. Also, I think it was $42 that evening and I feel that's a bit lofty. Having dined temples of beef around the nation, it's certainly at the upper end of the spectrum. Moral of the story: enjoy your $25 restaurant week meal for what it is - a tasty 3 course dinner at a rock bottom price. Then go back sometime and sample the bounty, the service, and all the fine wines when you've got cash to burn. Else, burrito.

We are BIG fans of Crazy Pita, but this place is better. Better pita bread, chicken and beef were both good. Basmati rice was nice. Baba ganash best ever. More food than we could eat. Very friendly owner run, everything cook fresh. We will be back - many times....
