Harvest Moon Café began in 1998, as a small
bread market in Cave Spring, GA.
Not long after opening, owner Ginny Kibler decided if you are
going to make bread, you might as well make sandwiches, and the
rest is history. The restaurant spent three years in its Cave
Spring home and became known for its excellent quality
sandwiches and funky atmosphere.
In January 1999, Ginny decided
to answer the many cries for a Rome location and opened a second
small sandwich shop on East Second Ave. Folks were so pleased to
see it that the restaurant soon outgrew its Rome spot. Ginny and
her husband Doc decided to take the big leap and renovate an
historic 1895 building in downtown
Rome
(originally the Fahy Department store) which took over a year to
complete.
In 2001, the Harvest Moon Café
opened at 234 Broad Street with a much larger seating capacity
and two outdoor seating areas, serving both lunch AND dinner.
Since then, the restaurant has done nothing but grow, now
offering lunch on Monday, full lunch and dinner menus Tuesday
thru Saturday, Sunday Brunch as well as catering and special
parties in the private upstairs room. The Moon Roof Bar, on our
back deck, offers light dining, drinks and a great view of
downtown.
MOON BASICS
Our goal at the Harvest Moon Café is to provide
our customers with food we would be proud to serve our family and
friends. If we don’t love it, we don’t sell it. We make everything
from scratch in our own kitchen with our own little hands. That
includes the bread for your sandwich, the dressing for your salad
and the cake that you love for dessert.
Our food is Southern with a twist;
the good food your mama used to make with a nouveau flair to wake it
up a bit. Our excellent kitchen staff prides themselves in bringing
you food that makes your tongue smile!
The experience is emphasized by our eclectic
environment that is casual yet urban, a mix of folk art and modern
flair.
We are also dedicated to providing
you with the best service possible. The Harvest Moon Café is known
as one of the most innovative, best managed and progressive cafés in
the area. We have been successful because of our incredible staff
and their commitment, professionalism and spirit. Our head server
was labeled “the best server in town” by the restaurant critic for
the Rome Unscene, a local entertainment publication.
