“Dining at Hyacinth was a true pleasure from start to finish. Bradon took amazing care of us, and we felt so pampered throughout the entire experience.This was our first time at Hyacinth, and we decided to stop in for a belated Valentine’s celebration. After reading the reviews and perusing the menu, our expectations were quite high, but I have to say that they were exceeded by the experience. First of all, the vibes were immaculate— cozy, elegant, and humming with energy on a Saturday night. I loved that it wasn’t stuffy or pretentious but still felt like fine dining.We decided to go all out and ordered a ton of dishes from the menu— NA sparkling wine, marinated white beans, scallops, squash crostini, roasted radishes, cacio e pepe, linguine a la puttanesca, and panna cotta. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted and full of punchy flavors. I loved the marinated beans with preserved lemon and a mix of herbs. I also loved how peppery the cacio e pepe was. The blend of textures in the squash crostini was excellent too.Many of the dishes had ingredients that aren’t usually my favorite, but they all shone in this context. I was skeptical of the scallop dish, because the texture of raw scallops is usually a turn off, but these scallops were fresh, buttery, and savory. The panna cotta was another star dish. It tasted like elevated rice pudding in the best way!My only small critique is that the cacio e pepe wasn’t as creamy as I had hoped. The pasta was perfectly cooked and so peppery, but I was hoping for a thicker sauce. The flavors were on point though.We loved our experience, and we left with full stomachs and a smile on our faces. Can’t wait to go back and try more fantastic creations.Vegetarian options: Solid vegetarian options. Two vegetarian entree options and a number of vegetarian appetizers. Especially good for pescatarians.“

“Great place for some descent goat meat over rice. Service was excellent!Ordered Goat Meat over Rice which is #1 on their current menu and it was was descent and filling! Good ratio of meat to fat as well! The meat itself was a little undercooked so was a bit chewy compared to traditional middle eastern meats but this maybe be the Somalian way of doneness on the meat not quite sure. Water and Banana at no extra cost was great to see!“

“Ordered the crispy chicken sandwich with fries. This was probably the best executed chicken sandwich I've ever eaten. The veg was fresh, bun perfect and toasted, chicken was thick and cooked in clean oil. The fries were probably top 3 fries I've ever had in my life, they definitely know what they are doing. Staff friendly, place clean, kitchen clean. Absolutely recommend“

“The food was decent, but not spectacular. The service was good. The value was tough at $250 for three kids ordering off of the kids menu and two adults ordering only one appetizer each with two glasses of wine. Pazzaluna was a much better value with the same atmosphere and “

“Really friendly service especially as a first time visitor. No pressure to hurry thru the menu and also gave us a free fountain drink when we went back to buy one (forgot while ordering initially). Really tasty pita’s and fries. The spice on my spouse’s meal wasn’t overwhelming either - it was very flavorful.“
