John Botti is about to enter his 18th year as owner of John’s Harvest
Inn. There might be a few more gray hairs around the temples, but
there’s no less enthusiasm for providing a fine dining experience.
This
Middletown native graduated from the Culinary Institute of America in
1982 and has been tickling tastebuds ever since. The menu is
continental/eclectic. Weiner Schnitzel and Filet Mignon are favorite
staples, but items such as Mahi Mahi in Pineapple Salsa or Mediterranean
Goat Cheese Ravioli are known to appear as specials. Tables are adorned
with lace cloths, Royal Dalton show plates and silverplate utensils.

More than 100 clocks adorn the nooks and
crannies, a testament to the slower pace of days gone by when people
took the time to savor each meal – and their company.
