Hearth Kitchen Kennett Square

They lost themselves as having mediterranean dishes, but when I got there no such dish was on the menu. The young lady at the front desk was so very sweet, polite and kind. She too stated they do not have much for Mediterranean food... looks beautiful inside very nice atmosphere.

Our second visit to this newly renovated gem in KSQ and this time I brought my husband. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed by Hanna and her team, greeted warmly by Kelly who expressed his appreciation for our visit, and expertly taken care of by the incredibly knowledgeable Kevin, whose recommendations were all spot on. This is easily one of our top dining experiences of the year so far. I would return just for the perfectly crafted cocktails alone, but the food truly sealed the deal. The chef and his team delivered dishes that were creative, beautifully cooked, and impeccably seasoned, everything a foodie could hope for. An elegant dining experience from start to finish. Count us in as two new regulars who are already looking forward to our next meal

Hate to leave a bad review, but it feels necessary for what Hearth gave on our last visit. Overall I’m just sad to see such a stark decline in one of my favorite dinner date spots. Seems like there was a change of chef or management or something to cut costs and change rules, and it has impacted the place for the worse.

My man and I loved this spot, regularly dined here for months. The atmosphere, food, service, all really wonderful. Our most recent visit, I ordered the lamb and it was very disappointing. Firstly, the dish is now served with 3 chops instead of 4… so a 25% decrease in product, but the price is just as high. Additionally, the “medium rare” lamb was overcooked, came with a mustard sauce on top of the chops. It just doesn’t go well with a Greek dish, and no high quality meat should be smothered in sauce. If they wanna change their menu, who am I to tell them not to? But at least change the menu to indicate there would be mustard. Plus, they changed the side potatoes from the “thousand layer,” to fingerlings which feels lazy and cheaper.

When the waiter came over to ask how everything was, I said the mustard sauce was not to my taste, but I even said it’s okay, I will just scrape it off (I hate sending food back hahaha). He offered to grill the mustard off, which unfortunately overcooked the chops even more 😭 I really didn’t make a fuss about it, but then the manager (? I assume) came over and was like “we changed the menu a while ago, it’s been fingerling potatoes for a while.” And I was just confused… like okay? I didn’t complain or make a fuss 😭 it wasn’t that way like the last 10 times I ordered it, so I didn’t think to analyze the description to see if it changed. And I didn’t even ask to speak to a manager about it, I really didn’t make a fuss. I said thank you, everything is good. But yeah, really weird vibe, really different and cold atmosphere, and the service was inattentive. The waiter was often looking away, seemed irritated, and absentminded during service, despite the restaurant being pretty slow.

Last night, we had our first experience at Hearth Kitchen since the new management team took over. We were greeted warmly by the hostess and server. Although the restaurant design has largely remained intact, very nice touches have been put into place for a more polished look. Most significantly, the lighting was perfect. Each table had a single warm lamp light with a similar design echoed by the wall sconces - just the right amount of lighting to create ambience but not too dark. The service was efficient and polite (maybe a little too efficient at trying to get our food order). The food was nicely presented and delicious. There happened to be an entertainer there (Wednesday night entertainment is posted on the door). He was an excellent guitarist and singer. Even though we were sitting in the front, the sound was not too loud - just enjoyable. Overall, we were impressed with what the new management team has put into place.

Hearth Kitchen is one of our favorite restaurants. It has a cool ambiance and is beautiful inside. We love the pizza, pasta, french fries, caesar salad, smash burgers. Our food arrives hot and delicious and the staff works really well together. Love love love

My experience at hearth kitchen was amazing! I never had bao buns before and they were incredible. The only disappointment was that I wanted more. The Agnolotti was AMAZING. Can't wait to go back. My server, Monica knew the menu very well and made very good suggestions. This is a great spot a true gem.

A Flawless First Impression! We visited for the first time last night and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The ambiance is the perfect blend of modern and intimate, and despite a full house, the noise level was pleasantly low. The service was top-notch; both the hostess and our waitress were incredibly attentive. We shared the Greek salad, which was fresh and perfectly dressed—the flavors were balanced without overpowering the vegetables. For the main, we had the halibut special. It was served on a bed of puréed carrots and the presentation was exquisite. The combination of flavors was truly impressive. We will definitely be back to try more of the menu!

Marley was wonderful. Food was very good and so were the drinks. It was our first time there.

Everything was great about our dinner and experience.

We had an absolutely delicious NYE dinner at Hearth. The calamari and bao bun appetizers were innovative and yummy. The mushroom and fig and prosciutto pizzas were *so* good!! Devon, our food server, was professional and excellent. The restaurant was decorated for NYE and really the entire staff was Cracker Jack. We will definitely come again!

We had a delicious meal and outstanding experience. Our server Devon was attentive and friendly! Highly recommend.

We had a great experience at Hearth. We had a shared dish and two entrees that we enjoyed very much along with a couple cocktails. There was so many great flavors in the dishes, they were well prepared and thought out very nicely. We finished with a nice shared dessert. It's always an enjoyable experience at Hearth.

Came here a few months back and dined in. The service and atmosphere was good but the food itself wasa mediocre at best. Tonight we wanted to give it another shot and ordered takeout of 6 items. It was ready on time and very quick. Bartender was very nice when getting my order. When I arrived home 15 minutes later, I realized the hostess never rang in 2/6 of the items we ordered so we never received those. The spicy rigatoni was mediocre and lukewarm. I bit into something hard thinking it was an undercooked piece of pasta, but it was a small piece of a toothpick that cut the roof of my mouth. The lamb meatballs came in a container with only 5 meatballs and nothing else inside. They were also mediocre and dry, not worth the price whatsoever. When we called to complain, the person who answered the phone (not a host) was very nice, offered for us to come get the 2 missing meals free of charge, and compensated the spicy rigatoni. Although the customer service is nice, the food is not worth the price. We will not be coming back.

Great experience. First time in Hearth since new ownership takeover. Great food, drinks, ambiance. Will happily return whenever back in town

Amazing! My new favorite fresh pasta restaurant in the KSQ area. We had the orecchiette and agnolotti dishes and both were superb. Seriously good food and outstanding service. We can’t wait to eat here again.
