I have not been this excited about a restaurant in a long time! My husband and I are (mainly) plant based, and there were delicious and creative culinary options for us. The atmosphere is casual and comfortable with outside seating options. I started my meal...with the Watermelon Gaspatcho - created with Watermelon, red peppers, and a hint of jalapeño. Delicious! My husband started with the fried (home make) pickel spears. Yummy! We both had the stuffed zucchini with rice, mushrooms, onions, served with a side salad with a mouthwatering strawberry vinegarette. To round out the meal we shared the cheesecake with seasonal fruit. We just moved to the area and am so glad we found this locally run business. We will be back!More

We had an excellent meal. I had the srimo tacos, and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. Everything was fresh and flavorful. My wife had the garden salad and soup. The soup was very good. The salad had a wonderful strawberry vinegrete. We were full, but...everything was so good we shared the chocolate torte and were not disappointed.More

My husband and I were looking for dinner in the Southpoint area and this was a perfect match. We had 8pm reservations on a Saturday night and there was plenty of available seating. We ate outside and had a lovely experience and dinner. Megan, our...server, was attentive and excellent. I had fried green tomato appetizer and my husband had Italian wedding soup. Both were great. I had the special, blackened swordfish with side of kale and pimento cheese grits. It was done perfectly, and I scraped the plate clean. My husband had grilled chicken over pasta and he also thought it was excellent. Pricing is fair considering I think we had a really good meal.More

Amazing fresh food! I had the seafood special, my husband had the chicken sandwich and my son (16) had the the grilled chicken pasta. A great place to watch the game, celebrate a fun occasion, or a date night. I definitely recommend and will return...when back in town.More

After nearly three years we returned to Harvest 18 because it had outside dining and we are still not dining indoors. We had a very good meal. I had shrimp and grits (could have had a larger portion of grits) and banana pudding. My husband...had Fish and Chips and She Crab soup. The food was excellent! We also had a lovely server who was very attentive.More

We visited the restaurant while in Durham based on the location and reviews. My food came out absolutely cold. I am not one to send something back but this time I had to do it. One person asked me how the food was and then...told me that it was supposed to be served at room temperature—really? My server took it back and then came back to say that now the “real chef” was working on it—who prepared it in the first place? My husband never did get his side item. And even when my meal came back the vegetable was so heavily seasoned I could not eat it. Sadly I just stopped trying and we left but not without paying almost $80 for food we could not eat and not even an “I’m sorry”. Hands down this is the worst dining experience I have had in years.More

Went there today for a quiet couples dinner. Nice ambiance, low noise and not crowded. The waiter was attentive and caring. We ordered the wood grilled romaine which was well prepared along with artichoke hearts and onions. We placed our main course order too soon...I think. We got main course on the table before we could even finish the salad. Too quick? The pork shank was moist and delicious along with mashed potatoes and vinegary collard greens; decent sized portion. The grilled corn meal coated speckled trout was good except the grits and the fish could use more seasoning. I asked for a lemon to drizzle on the dish and that made all the difference! Suggestion to the chef? The dessert menu was limited though so we passed. Overall, good evening out and decent meal. The service was really good.More

Greeted by the chef, the service was very good. What set this restaurant apart was the quality of the food. We concluded we had never had better salmon. Portions were ample, preparation and presentation superb. Everything we had from soups to sides to main dish...were outstanding. We are visiting from out of state but this restaurant is going on the must-return list when we come back.More

We stopped by for lunch at this restaurant. The weather was nice so we sat outside. The outside eating area is relatively large. We ordered a few different appetizers, but no entrees: grilled cucumbers, hummus with tortilla chips,and the potato/vegetable soup. We also ordered the...banana pudding for dessert. All of the food was good, but the banana pudding and the grilled cucumbers were particularly nice. I noticed that there was a bar area but we did not order any alcoholic drinks. The service was OK, nothing special. The price for these interesting and tasty foods is about average. An interesting menu with fairly nice atmosphere.More

Terrific meal served by super server, Emily, a local grade school art teacher. Manager, Javier was very attentive and came to the table 4-5 times during our visit. We had grilled cucumber and roasted romaine salad apps and salmon, catfish, meatloaf & ahi tuna entrees,...all of which were perfect. Deserts were flourless chocolate cake & sweet potato cheese cake with homemade whipped cream. Great night 👍More

Great veggie frittata with their cheddar grits. Friends had the steak and eggs, roasted cucumbers appetizer. All of our plates were empty. Service was outstanding and we sat outside. Their berry butter for the bread was quite tasty.

Delicious lunch at the bar on a Saturday. We had a BLT with fries, she crab soup and grilled Romaine salad. It was quiet inside but busy outside. Very friendly staff all around. So much better than a chain or mall food! Looking forward to...returning again soon. Love they support local farmers and keep the prices affordable for the average diner.More
