This restaurant is extremely popular and has a great location. I visited on a weekday for lunch and there was already a line formed. They provided an estimated wait time and gave me a buzzer, which was reassuring. I was called in before I had time to worry too much about the wait. I ordered the regular hamburger with cheese topping and chose the apple rice option. The hamburger was juicy and went well with the slightly sweet sauce. The side vegetables were also delicious. The apple rice was subtly sweet and not much different from regular white rice. I also ordered the taro mochi, which was definitely delicious. The weather was nice, so I was able to enjoy my meal while taking in the amazing view.

I have been exploring restaurants in the Nagano area recently and Harvest has been around for 28 years. I tried their 280g hamburger with a cheese topping. They also sell apple pie and soft serve ice cream. It's a popular spot, so be prepared to wait over an hour during lunchtime.

We were seated in a private room on the second floor that can fit about 8 people. It was great. We enjoyed the Farm Potato and Hamburger Set (1,210 yen) and the Farm Veggie Veggie Vegetables (650 yen). Everything was delicious. The hamburgers and croquettes were tasty, and the bread and rice tasted like they were made with good quality rice. I also recommend the apple juice.
