I’ve been here twice and the experience has been top notch. The steaks are a highlight but there are lots of other options.

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

Overpriced, not great value for the portion size, food was a bit too rich for our palette. Waitress messed up our order but gave us a complimentary dessert to make up for it. Decor was nice but overall, we probably won’t be back.

Booked hearth seats on Open Table but were seated in the main dining room instead. No explanation provided. After four visits, food can be interesting but the product on the plate always feels metered and teased out—drained of its soul by culinary efficiency consultants. And yes, you pay for the privilege of experiencing this dispiriting paucity.

Requested a different dressing and wanted it on the side. The salad came with the wrong dressing in the salad . Waiter never came to check until it was time for the check. I told him what happened and no response. Will not return

Overall experience was good. They were out salmon which is what I was really looking forward to but all other food items were great!

Thanks for your feedback Chuck. I’m glad to hear you enjoyed the other dishes, though I’m sorry we were out of the salmon. I totally understand how disappointing that can be. We hope to have it available for your next visit—looking forward to having you back! – Chef Sawyer
