Bed time

September 12, 2006

By TAMARA WIEDER | September 6, 2006

It’s bed time — oyster beds, that is. On September 12, Harvest Restaurant (44 Brattle Street, Cambridge) presents a four-course locally harvested oyster dinner. The menu includes oysters on the half shell, oyster bisque, and filet-mignon carpetbagger with oyster mushrooms, accompanied by wine. Island Creek Oyster’s Skip Bennett will be the evening’s special guest. The dinner starts at 6 pm and the cost is $39, excluding tax and gratuity; call 617.868.2255 for reservations and information.
