Food was fine but pricey. The service was like a mediocre day bee. Hostess to server was at best average. No shock the restaurant was virtually empty on a Saturday night.

Food, drinks, service, and ambiance were all great! I had read about the famous wings which did not disappoint. We ordered the Brussel sprouts as a side with Salmon entree as well as seafood salad and cochinita pibil. Nice size portions, too. And the expresso martini was one of the best I've had. Ww will be back!

Thanks for the awesome review soyyo29. So glad you loved the wings and that espresso martini—always a crowd-pleaser. Sounds like you picked some great dishes, too. Can’t wait to have you back for more good food and vibes! – Chef Sawyer

We were really looking forward to visiting the restaurant, especially after seeing the famous Greenhouse wings were on the menu! Unfortunately, the experience was underwhelming. My reservation on Resy was for seating at the Hearth and noted a food allergy. Upon arrival, we were not seated at the Hearth and nobody mentioned or noted my allergy. Service was "fine." Nothing noteworthy, just more of an order taker. He didn't make any suggestions, walk through the menu, or explain the food once it was served. The famous Greenhouse wings were better at Greenhouse. The chicken itself was not flavorful and was dry, not fall off the bone. The brussel sprouts and pork entree were great, but nothing tasted "woodfired" which we thought was the concept of the restaurant. Overall, we felt it was a little pricey for the food, service, and atmosphere.

Absolutely outstanding meal! We sat at the hearth and got to see the kitchen staff cooking everything up, while soaking in all of that great wood fired smell! Reanna our waitress was top notch, and always checking in on us to make sure we were well taken care of. The head chef Mike was nice enough to take some time and talk us through the menu, describe some of the cooking processes and his recommendations were spot on! We can’t wait to get back and try more options on their menu!

Thank you for the glowing review Brian. The hearth truly offers such a unique and immersive experience, and I’m thrilled you enjoyed the sights, smells, and flavors. Big kudos to Reanna for taking great care of you and to Chef Mike for sharing his passion and expertise—our team is the best. Can’t wait to have you back to explore more of the menu! – Chef Sawyer
