Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar

This 7-year-old chain, founded in Pennsylvania, has launched weekend brunch from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. after opening in December as its first Southern outpost in the new Delray Place plaza.
The season-centric concept focuses on locally sourced dishes, mostly fewer than 500 calories, with gluten-free and vegan options.
“The South Florida market is really embracing healthy dining options,” owner Dave Magrogan says. “We see guests interested in knowing where their food is coming from, where their food is being raised, and how an animal is being treated while it is being raised.”
Brunch dishes include tofu scramble with tortillas ($12), carrot-cake waffle ($13), grass-fed brunch burger with fried egg ($14) and three Benedicts ($12-$17), including blue crab.
Accompanying cocktails offer four renditions of mimosas and three Bloody Marys, plus greens and orange sangria (all $9).
The spring lunch-dinner menu will run until mid-June, with highlights of jerk-chicken flatbread ($11), lemon-thyme chicken ($21) and grilled lamb chops ($30).
Lunch and dinner are served daily amid spiky snake plants, chic upholstered booths and a stone wall, plus a side patio with a fireplace and fire pits beside an herb garden.
