I'm still redeeming some of the gift cards I received last Christmas. So before they expire I decided to cash in on a recently opened eatery, Harvest Seasonal Restaurant. All the advertising says it's in North Wales. But the locals know better. It's really in Horsham Township at the Shops of English Village.
It's a combined effort of two veterans of the dining scene: Dave Magrogan of Kildare's Irish Pub & Doc Magrogan's Oyster House, and Dana Farrell of The Classic Diner on Route 30 in Frazer. Together they have embraced the trendy "farm to table" concept and taken it to a new level with a seasonally changing menu sourced from local farmers and producers. And to underscore that point they list a dozen of them right on the menu. Their organic, local and healthy ingredients come from places like Richland, Lancaster, Chadds Ford, Hershey and Honey Brook.
The upscale casual atmosphere of each of the 3 locations is rich with earthy tones, from the reclaimed wood flooring, to the recycled glass table tops to the paperstone dividers. But the most amazing fact is that 90% of the items listed on the menu are under 500 calories! The prices are pleasingly modest as well. Most items are in the teens, not the twenties or thirties.
Dining with my fellow gourmand we began by sharing two appetizers. The Harvest flatbread was delicately herbed and lightly dusted with asiago cheese. And the edamame 3 ways gave us an option to experience salty, spicy, and sweet. My entrée was a large plate of summer salad with a delicious crab cake nestled on the side. Everything was delicious! And our server had impeccable timing, not to mention honest and sincere advice that was well taken.
And just when you thought things could not have been improved upon, dessert was offered: shot glasses filled with an assortment of refreshing delights that ranged from key lime pie, to strawberry cheesecake, to chocolate chip cookie dough mousse. And all for $3 each!
