Oscar and I decided to head to Harvest Seasonal Grill on Montage Mountain.<\/p>\n<p>First, though, we had a stop at Ken Pollock Volvo on Route 315 in Pittston Township for Oscar to pick up a beautiful new Volvo XC90 he purchased.<\/p>\n<p>It was a super smooth process led by our friend Gino Ginocchetti and sales specialist Eric Peters. The two were like a dynamic duo, making sure everything went fast and simply.<\/p>\n<p>We synced up all the necessities \u2014 Bluetooth, music and apps \u2014 then headed on our way.<\/p>\n<p>Harvest is a place where you always feel special, from the first \u201cHello, gentlemen\u201d when you walk in the door.<\/p>\n<p>I love the farm-to-table concept and try to find restaurants like that wherever I go.<\/p>\n<p>The seasonal menu also appeals to me; it\u2019s neat to have different options depending on the time of year.<\/p>\n<p>The whole menu at Harvest right now is enchanting \u2014 from the Butternut Squash Soup and Winter Hummus to the Thai Chicken Lettuce Wraps.<\/p>\n<p>We opted for the roasted Brussels sprouts appetizer, which are done in a cranberry-apple relish, toasted pumpkin seed and citrus garlic yogurt. They didn\u2019t last long.<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, I was super hungry on this particular night, but I tried to take my time and savor the flavors.<\/p>\n<p>For dinner, we both chose the Sesame Chicken. It\u2019s several pieces of chicken with Jasmine rice, seasonal Asian vegetables, scallion, cilantro, and ginger tamari glaze.<\/p>\n<p>We both appreciated the taste, color, and fullness of the dish.<\/p>\n<p>Other entr\u00e9e options included the Wine-Braised Short Rib, Cedar Plank Salmon, and the Pennsylvania Prime New York Strip.<\/p>\n<p>There were also plant-based bowls that looked neat, such as the Cuban Black Bean Bowl and Winter Root Vegetable Bowl.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is all complemented by the huge seasonal drink menu consisting of fun cocktails, wine flights, and champagne.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere is warm, inviting, and cozy, and I can honestly say the staff makes you feel special.<\/p>\n<p>Next time you\u2019re near Montage Mountain in Moosic, consider a stop at Harvest for a seasonal dish or drink.<\/p>\n<p>Mike McGinley is a Times Leader columnist who is often called a man about town.
