On Saturday night we took a break from conferencing\/touristing and went over to Cambridge to see a Madison ex-pat who’s come home to Boston to live with her aging mom.<\/p>\n

We started wandering around Harvard Square and ended up at a place called Harvest<\/a>, that our local guide described as really good food but kind of pricey. (she was kind of a regular at the place; the host & waiter knew her from coming in to sit at the bar and have a snack)<\/p>\n

I had the Grilled Line Caught Swordfish with Braised Artichoke Barigoule, Chickpeas, Smoked Bacon & Pickled Shallots, $29<\/p>\n

Sometimes I disappoint myself by ordering things that I wouldn’t get at home – as shown, it was a nice big piece of fish, bland but with nice grill char; the sprouts & pickled shallots on top were a nice accompaniment; the brothy beans, bacon & mushy artichokes underneath were way too salty. So altogether the dish didn’t really add up.<\/p>\n

Jane, our local, had the beet salad, with red wine vinaigrette subbed in for the hazelnut, due to her nut allergy (nut-brown color in the picture notwithstanding – it is<\/em> the red wine)<\/p>\n

Mark had the special, and he said his beans, rather than being too salty, tasted like his mom’s Navy bean soup (real, US Senate, Navy bean soup<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Probably the best dish of all was the wedge salad that we split.<\/p>\n
