We didn't even get to go. They let me make a reservation and everything online said it was open. We paid for parking to show up and it be boarded up and closed. Unacceptable.

The service was pretty good. The food was disappointing. The grilled seafood was rubbery and the risotto was extremely heavy. The pappardelle pasta was dry. The ambience would've been nice, but there were some weird things like an air freshener daisychained to an outlet on the wall.  the addition of live music was kind of nice, but light instrumental music would have been preferable to a vocalist.

This is our second time celebrating Mother's Day at Hearts & Flames. Overall, it was still a good experience and we liked their pasta and lamb chop dishes. However, we are a little disappointed at the Fig salad missing the figs when it was served, the risotto is a bit on the dry side , and the lack of availability of dessert options. We wish the serve could tell us ahead of time if something is out from the menu when they provided us the menu. We heard the restaurant has a busy brunch crowd and that may have impacted the service and our experience this time.

Great night to celebrate our engagement. Loved the live music, very romantic! The kitchen was out of a few menu items and ingredients but the server explained they were getting ready for a menu change.

I was soooo bumbed when I noticed that you guys took the Portobello mushroom appetizer out of the menu......that was an amazing appetizer and please bring it back.....the lamb plate was per usual amazing!

Completely overpriced, especially the drinks. Ordered a Vodka Soda $15 but requested Ketel, they added an additional $15 on top and it was an 8oz glass. 2 filet mignons and 3 drinks $245 not including tip. Place had only 8 of maybe 40 tables filled on a Saturday night. After I saw the check I realized why it wasnt full. Would not recommend to anyone.

Hearts and Flame offers a stunning ambiance with its open kitchen concept, creating an inviting atmosphere. As a destination restaurant, the experience is crucial, and while the food quality and freshness are commendable, the service aspect could be refined. On a busy Friday night, only one primary server and a backup made it challenging to provide the level of engagement expected in a restaurant where guests seek an elevated dining experience. A menu tour and guided recommendations would enhance the hospitality, turning the meal into an experience rather than a transaction. The restaurant has all the right ingredients—quality food, a unique concept (especially the Parmesan wheel presentation), and an environment perfect for special occasions. Elevating service to match the ambiance could help Hearts and Flame maximize its potential and drive stronger word-of-mouth appeal.

I walked into this place feeling like a chihuahua from Beverly Hills in a purse. Fancy & Elegant. Naturally, I expected the service to match. It didn't. My New York steak took so long to arrive I'm pretty sure they had to raise the cow first. By the time it showed up, my party was already done eating, like the restaurant was hinting at a diet for me. The steak? Decent, but way too much fat, felt like I got the cow's personal snack stash. Overall, 6/10. Would've been 7 if I didn't hear mooing from the kitchen.
Enjoys our date night out. The location is difficult to park to, but if you get dropped off a location to visit. They had live music for our Sat. Visit. Very chill and romantic vibe. The outdoor setting is also chill..

I would not recommend this restaurant. Octopus appetizer was tough and not sufficiently grilled. The risotto was touch and tasted like cheddar cheese had been stirred in—it actually had a “cheese pull” like a grilled cheese. The beef cheeks were over-braised—dry and woody. And it’s quite overpriced. The few positives—good Caesar salad, accommodating waiter, they had a crooner singing Sinatra tunes which was quite charming. If you’re in the Arts District maybe stop in for a drink and the tunes. Skip the grub.

The service is try to be good, but no they are too busy. The foods was cold and took them long time for the dish to arrive. The whole experience was not so good.
