Farm-To-Table Wine Bar Looking To Open In Newtown

A new wine bar and restaurant specializing in low-calorie, seasonal food is looking to open in Newtown, but first it needs liquor license transfer approval from the Newtown Township Supervisors.

Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar is seeking to open a 6,425 square-foot restaurant in the Village at Newtown Shopping Center, township Manager Kurt Ferguson said.

The liquor license transfer was an item for approval on tonight's (Wednesday's) Board of Supervisors meeting, however it has been continued at the request of the applicant, township officials told Patch. They will likely come before the supervisors in April, Ferguson said.

According to its website, Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar offers an under 500-calorie, seasonally changing, local farm-to-table menu, plus more than 50 wines by the glass, seasonal cocktails and local beer.

"Every three months Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar changes the menu to reflect the change of the seasons. Harvest Seasonal Grill and Wine Bar works with 75 local farmers to source the freshest and highest quality products available," its website says.

Menu items include flatbreads, appetizers, vegetarian dishes, seafood, salads, sandwiches and more.

The restaurant says it prides itself on a sustainable and organic approach. That includes its ingredients, cleaning products, paper products and even recycled glass bar tops. "We are a truly a green concept," the restaurant says on its website.

The restaurant concept was created in 2010 by Dave Magrogan. Currently, there are five locations, including Philadelphia, Glen Mills, North Wales, Harrisburg and Moorsetown, N.J. A location is opening soon in Radnor, the website says.
