Phenomenal restaurant. Amazing and helpful staff. The food was off the charts. The second course with pasta options was our favorites. The price of beef had been insane lately but I don’t think that was fully reflected in the optional beef choices they were prices very reasonably… thank you for that hearthside!!

Had a really good anniversary dinner. Expensive but the food and preparation is extremely authentic. Which also makes the menu limited. View it ahead of making reservations to be sure there are options you’d like and can eat. They accommodated some of our dietary restrictions as well. Really amazing food and fantastic service and atmosphere!!

The food was mostly phenomenal. The steak unfortunately was a tad overcooked. The one couple seated next to us were very annoying, the guy “corrected” the waitress multiple times. And unfortunately we’re having very unpleasant conversation in general. I tried to tune the male out but unfortunately due to the close proximity it was impossible to do so. The female was also making very snarky comments about others appearances.

The carpaccio and cavatelli were out of this world. The fregola was really good too. The chorizo in it reminds me of the salchichón my mom used in her spanish rice. I wanted to like the tuna more but it was okay. Had a Branzino to share, I was stuffed but had to have the dessert. The keylime special and the olive oil cake were both really good. The nectarine sauce and almond combo with the olive oil cake was 🤌🏾. The service staff seem really young but professional - they checked up on us frequently without feeling like buzzards. Another wonderful experience. Thank you

The service, food, portions and overall experience was amazing. Definitely coming back!
The most incredible place around! Not only was each course of food fantastic but the staff and service made this not just a restaurant with great food but a place with the whole package. The flow and choreography of the staff between courses was amazing. It felt like everything was timed. Someone would clear your plates, then moments later someone comes and cleans your table and asks how everything was, then right after someone gives you new silverware - the timing of everything was quite amazing and not like anything I’ve seen before. I dine out a lot and that type of service makes this place stand out from the rest. Check it out if you haven’t done-so already. Loved this place and will definitely be back! Thanks for the attention to detail and showing what a true dining experience should look like!

No wonder why there is often a month wait to get a table at this place, ngl. Food is like sex for your taste buds. Fire af, ngl.

As someone with over 20 years in the fine dining industry, I understand and respect the purpose of cancellation policies. They help protect restaurants from last-minute no-shows and lost revenue. That said, the way Hearthside handled my recent reservation experience was disappointing, unprofessional, and—most importantly—unwelcoming.
I had a reservation for four on a Friday evening. The morning of, due to unforeseen changes with my guests (who have a young infant), I canceled via their SMS system around 9:00 AM. Despite following the process and acting in good faith, I was sent a notice later that day stating I’d be charged a $200 cancellation fee.
I called immediately, not to argue, but to try to make it right. I offered to come in myself, to reorder the reservation, even to dine solo if needed. I spoke with multiple staff members, and each time I got closer to a resolution, the goalposts seemed to move. I was told I couldn’t dine alone. Then when I had two guests, I was told the table was no longer available. Finally, after confirming I’d come with three other guests, I was told only outdoor seating was an option.
We arrived—on time and with all four guests—only to be seated outdoors at a windy, unheated table along the street, despite empty indoor tables clearly visible. When we kindly asked to be moved, we were met with abrupt rejection. From the moment we arrived, we were treated as a burden—not as welcome guests.
To salvage the night, we ordered a few starters and planned to move on. Our server, James, was exceptional—polite, attentive, and clearly a professional. He was the only redeeming element of the evening. When we requested the check, James let us know that the $200 “cancellation fee” had been applied to our bill. Despite showing up, dining, and doing everything possible to resolve the situation, we were still being charged as if we never came.
My neighbor went inside to speak with the manager and owner and was met with resistance and deflection. I followed up myself, calmly recounting everything—how I had spent my day trying to make this right, how I brought four people, and how our treatment since walking in had been noticeably cold and dismissive.
The manager claimed my neighbor had been rude (he hadn’t), and responded to my concerns with visible frustration, even telling me “there’s nothing to learn here” when I suggested this could be used as a growth opportunity. After a lengthy back-and-forth, the chef finally agreed to refund the $200 charge—but only after a long, draining effort.
While they comped our appetizers (which we didn’t request), it didn’t come close to balancing out the antagonistic and punitive way we were treated. I left the restaurant feeling unwelcome, disrespected, and frankly stunned at the disconnect between Hearthside’s reputation and our actual experience.
This review isn’t written out of emotion. It’s written so others don’t have to go through the same. Hospitality is more than food—it’s how you make people feel. We came to the restaurant in good faith, eager to dine, and left feeling like an inconvenience from start to finish. I hope Hearthside reflects on this not as a one-off, but as a sign that sometimes policy needs to be balanced with empathy, flexibility, and basic human decency.

Our first visit to Hearthside was a delight. The four course prix fixe menu was a reasonable amount of food, which included the burrata, scallops (special), ragu, garganelle, a whole bronzino, miso tart, and panna cotta. Our favorites were the burrata, bronzino, and the tart.
We absolutely will be coming back in the future to try any new offerings.
