Mushroom soup was delicious . The filet mignon was cooked perfectly ; the walleye was excellent. We tried desserts too, and they were both tasty. Service was friendly. We liked the Brentwood Grille so much, we decided to buy their annual membership since we will definitely be coming back.

You will not regret making a reservation for a meal at American Harvest. I received a remarkable at a fraction of the cost for the wonderful service and impeccable quality. Not only were the dishes I received delicious, but the presentation was top-notch too! After this enjoyable afternoon, I've told myself that I will have to visit this student-run establishment more often. Hopefully I'll see you there!
