“ This is an upscale Spanish tapas restaurant located around Capitol Hill/Madison Valley area. I made reservations for a Saturday dinner, which is not too hard availability-wise but necessary to guarantee a seat as the place is small and busy. We were seated downstairs, which had a cozy and old school type of ambience. We tried 4 dishes from the main menu and a dessert. To pair with the food, we got 1 glass each of the red and white wines, recommended by the server, which was solid. They made a mistake with the white wine pour so we got to keep the extra glass for free which was a nice surprise. Torchon de foie: cold foie gras with a selection of fruit jams. This is a limited dish as we got the very last one at 5:30pm (just 30min after opening). This is a pretty friendly introduction to foie gras served in a different manner (as most fine dining establishments go with seared). $28 for this is ok value, for decent quality. For the price point, I would have appreciated more than 3 small pieces of bread so that we can enjoy and top-up the foie gras without having too much leftover to eat the foie gras directly. Remolachas: nice ratatouille-like arrangement of beets. This is a cold dish, and the tartness with the olive oil go well together. I am not a fan of beets, but I still enjoyed this dish. It is one of the lighter dishes. Lubina (sea bass): nicely crispy skin, very flavorful and tender. I liked it so much I forgot to take a picture (a super rare phenomena of me). But $34 for a small dish is very steep. Iberico: their signature dish. High quality pork prepared like a medium doneness steak. The potatoes were really flavorful and we ended up licking the plate (figuratively, of course, as this is a nice restaurant). Again, the plate could be larger for $32. Dessert: we got flan de cafe which is delicious and a great way to end the meal. It is sweet for my typical dessert but not too sweet like American desserts. I love the bottom cookie-like texture that stands out compared to the typical flan. Service is good as water refills are frequent. After tax/tip, the bill came out to be about $200, which is $100 per person, which is quite high for the amount of food you get vs the quality. Not saying the food is not good, as it was delicious, but at this price point, I expected more. ”

“ A friend recommended The Harvest Vine as a dinner venue that could accommodate a large group. Online you can only reserve a table for 6 so I had to send an email to inquire. The manager responded to my inquiry pretty quickly. If the group is more than 12 then it would require a prix fixe menu. For our group of 12, we ordered roughly 3 items per person which was more than enough. The only alcohol served at the restaurant is wine or aperol spritzes. My favorite dishes were the Iberico and Pulpo a la Planca. Our two servers were very attentive and friendly throughout the evening. ”

“ My new favorite restaurant in Seattle!! The food was so good. Ambiance is very intimate and cozy. We sat at the chefs counter and could see the magic happen. My favorite was the octopus and pork. The octopus was so tender and the iberico pork was dressed in the most luscious sauce. Can't wait to go back!! ”

“ Friendly homey neighborhood feel. Wonderful tapas. Everything tasted awesome. Pricey but worth it. Service was excellent. The owner stopped frequently to check on us. We especially enjoyed the venison on this visit. ”

“ Spanish/Basque cuisine in a setting that makes you feel transported to Spain. It has that underground cave / wine cellar feel, and even though it is pricey it is definitely worth the special occasion. We had the championes (sauteed mushrooms with garlic), calabaza (roasted squash with almond romesco), berenjena (roasted eggplant with tomato sauce, cheese), lubina (pan roasted sea bass), and iberico de bellota (acorn fed black pig with cider sauce and potatoes. The mushrooms were the highlight, with a rich and layered wine sauce and perfect garlicky flavor. The sauce reduction was seriously a revelation, and I've been cooking with more red wine reduction since then. The calabaza's almond remesco had a delicious peppery flavor with almost a slight fermented taste. That was really special and amazing too. Finally, the pig with cider sauce was perfectly cooked, and the sauce was the perfect level of acidity and richness to contrast the meat. I'd say the sea bass was okay - a little plain for my taste. Roasted veggies all around were pretty straightforward and a bit pricey, the anchovies in the roasted eggplant didn't quite pair well together. Our server was fantastic and we really enjoyed the wine pairings he recommended. Overall, this place is absolutely magical of a setting and depending on what you order, will certainly deliver on the tapas and Basque cuisine front as well. ”

“ What an incredible evening. A friend selected this restaurant for his birthday - said it is his favorite place. Excellent choice! The service here is impeccable- attentive without being fussy or interrupting. Just the right amount of suggestions to trade the palate and enhance the meal. The downstairs area is quiet and spacious, the upstairs bar area is lively and fun. The food... everything was a winner. Even the simple appetizer of bread and olive oil was so good that we kept ordering the oil. Bright and peppery. We tried the full selection of salumi and cheeses - all very flavorful. The rice dish with mushrooms was rich and flavorful, the grilled beef perfectly cooked. The summer squash was tasty as well. But the star of the show was the salt cod stuffed pepper. A delight! The wine selection is thoughtfully curated and the sherry matched dessert perfectly. Yes, this place is pricey. But the caliber of the food and service are worthy, and portions are generous for a tapas restaurant. I'll definitely be back - next time at the bar! ”

“ Harvest Vine is famous in Seattle for its Spanish/Basque cuisine. It would be foolish to not check this off my to-eat list. The ambiance is homey, the service was relaxed though also attentive, and the food was great. Reservations is a must on the weekend. Being our first time, we went with several popular staples. The Food: Tortilla Espanola, $14 - 3 Stars Menu: warm potato onion omelette with alioli This one didn't hit the right notes for us. Overall, it felt blend. Potato and mayo (essentially) need a bit more something else since it's served as a starter, not as a side. Berenjena, $18 - 5 Stars Menu: roasted eggplant with tomato frito, sheep cheese & anchovy A must order! That was so flavorful and delicious. The anchovy is subtle in case that is a concern. Iberico de Bellota, $31 - 5 Stars Menu: grilled acorn fed pata negra pig with panadera potatoes & cider sauce The house signature dish is worthy of its name. My oh my. This is so good. The quality of the pork is so dark, it's like beef. Highly recommend. Trucha - 5 Stars Menu: pan roasted trout with porcini mushrooms, leeks & jamon serrano They served a rotating fish, seasonally available. The preparation, the sear of the skin, and all the sides are simply superb. Also highly recommend. ”

“ Service was amazing. They really took the time to go over the food and wine menu and kindly refilled our bread basket. The food was delicious but very small portions- the cutest paella pan I've ever seen. It does take some time for the food to be prepared as most need to be roasted. I would definitely consider again for a special occasion. No parking available and lots of construction in the area during our visit. ”

“ Cosy setting to catch up with a good buddy over a few Spanish small plates from the Basque region, and a nice bottle of Tempranillo Wine from Spain. Had the Tortilla Española Potato Omelette and Grilled Ibérico de Bellota before going big on desserts with the Chocolate Cake, Caramel Tart, and Olive Oil Wine Cake. ”
