Harvest Restaurant was founded in 2008 in Oro Valley.  In October 2011 new ownership was transferred to local Tucsonan’s Reza and Lisa Shapouri.

 

“Fresh Ingredients and Seasonally Inspired” continues to remain the mantra and philosophy of the restaurant. We are family owned and operated. As a group, we are involved in everything including the creation of the dishes, cocktails, and carefully selected wines we serve.

​

Our entire leadership group has an extensive background in the restaurant industry.
