This small restaurant offers well-prepared food and good service. The ambiance is cozy, with a candle lit on each table, adding a nice touch. However, the tables are quite tiny, which can be a bit uncomfortable. They also change their menu frequently, so there's always something new to try.

So so so good. And a precious space with wonderful staff to boot. Perfect 3rd space.

My boyfriend and I went here the first week of August. Took a few minutes to have staff come over and seat us at our reserved table. The dining room is very intimate and small, so I would definitely recommend making a reservation beforehand.
We really enjoyed the crostini and beet salad. The sauce on the carbonara was extremely good, but the past was not quite al dente (probably needed 2 more minutes). The portion size of the pasta is pretty good. I would say you only need a small portion for one person to eat and a full is big enough to share with two. We both ordered cocktails and enjoyed them.
Overall a great experience and we would come back.

We loved this restaurant, which came highly recommended to me by a fellow service industry friend. Unfussy seasonal food that lets the ingredients shine, a neighborhood joint that has an elegant ambience. Our favorite type of restaurant! We ordered a good amount of things, and all were delicious, but the sleeper hit was the grilled zucchini with stracciatella cheese, pistou, and I think sauv blanc vinegar; pairing it with the flatbread was a great choice to soak up the saucy parts. The prawns were perfectly cooked and juicy. The linguine had a generous amount of crab spread throughout.
Good amount of N/A options. Huge amaro list. The only thing that slightly disappointed me was that the online menu said their olive oil cake had rhubarb, but it actually had switched over to blueberry. I get it, it’s no longer rhubarb season, I’m just obsessed with rhubarb.
Can’t wait to come back in the winter or fall and see what else they have!

Hyacinth - 4.5 out of 5. Nice but somewhat distracted service. Small, cozy place with delectable, homemade pasta as authentic as it comes.

Service was great, ambiance was lovely. But. The half chicken was poor quality. Skin on, felt like it was breaded, only a tiny bit of meat. Throttled with oils and salt to mask the lack of quality, and $28 for a dish with no sides. The meal was probably 100 calories before you consider the skin, the breading, and the excessive oils/salt/seasoning. Only after the unhealthy add-ons does it even begin to approach a satisfying meal. There is this movement of providing a tiny amount of food for your meal and then charging an insane amount of $ while still taking all the standard industry shortcuts to save on costs. And then certain restaurants hide under the guise that this tiny amount of food is expensive because its high quality, or organic, or whatever. But its not, and the quality is not there. This deceit is not duping some of us. This was a low quality, tiny meal with a high price tag.

First timers and our entire experience at Hyacinth was fabulous. We tried different house cocktails and five courses. Everything was delicious. Great atmosphere and staff.
