Pre-fixed menu $125pp, very very good. Everything was tasty and was timed just right in between courses.Our first time here was a couple of years ago, we just ordered whatever on the menu for dinner. I say pre-fixe is better.

Exceptional food and service. I was there for a founders dinner and it was well beyond dining - it was an experience!

What an experience!! This place deserves all of the hype and is definitely worth every penny!! My boyfriend surprised me with dinner here for our anniversary, and the staff went above and beyond to make it such a magical and memorable night!!We started with some champagne, and then got the “nice spice” and another cocktail I don’t remember the name of but they were delicious and had so manny different flavor profiles.We ordered two of the warm crab tarts and they were delightful. My boyfriend ordered the halibut and it came with this smoked butter sauce that was absolutely to die for. I ordered the 8oz dry aged wagyu steak, it was so amazing, who knew you could pack so much flavor into a meal! We will definitely be back and will recommend to all of our familly and friends! Can’t wait to come back!! Thank you to the entire Hestia staff!!

Had an amazing night here with my girlfriend. Food was mind-blowing, service was impeccable, and our server was so kind. He had a nose ring! Forgot his name but he's a champ.

This place was very cool and the atmosphere was nice, but the food did not meet the hype and certainly not worth the money. We are normally very forgiving, but I would go to III Forks, Odd Duck or Justine’s if you want good food.

My partner and I decided to try the tasting menu. It was very underwhelming. The presentation of each item was aesthetically pleasing. But some items were undercooked, none were well spiced. They desserts, sourdough bread, & miso thing were okay. To my surprise, the whole experience was nearly 3 hours! I was ready to throw in the towel so many times. The waiters (Ruben & Paige, i remember) were nice and attentive, at least. The drinks were good (nice spice and star sign - with tequila instead of chopin), nothing to rave about though. Don’t think we’ll go back. (fotos not in order, i can’t be bothered)

This place was incredible. A very unique dining experience. The food is crafted over a wood fire. The beef tartare was one of the best I’ve ever had! Sourdough ice cream is taste so unique and different than anything I’ve tasted in a very long tim. Service was amazing as well.

Nice atmosphere, decent but not excellent service, and give the food probably 6.5 out of 10. Scallops were the only thing I’d order again.All in all can’t said I’d be in a hurry to come again. Tartare was especially bad, quite chewy with big chunks and didn’t seem properly diced. Same with the “Texas Wagyu Sirloin” - not sure where they are sourcing the beef but I’ve gotten better cuts from Costco. Anyway cute date spot.

I took my wife for her birthday dinner on a Sunday evening and was surprised to see a birthday card, signed by all the employees, waiting for her at our table. The service provided by Rudy and his crew was perfect! Tasty drinks and a fantastic dinner made for the perfect night. We will be back for the pork chop and the wagyu ribeye!!!

?Wow. Just wow. Food—Incredible. Service—Might be the best I’ve ever experienced. Vibe—Upscale and sleek while still warm and inviting. Do yourself a favor and go to Hestia ASAP. This place reminds me why I love restaurants.We went to Hestia to celebrate our anniversary and ordered dishes from the a la carte menu. Some standouts were:- The pork chop. It was better than some Wagyu I’ve had before, it was that flavorful, tender, hit-you-in-the-face delicious. (We also had Hestia’s Wagyu, which was also excellent)- Broccoli. Any chef/kitchen that gives as much care and attention to vegetables as they do proteins is worth your tastebuds.- Scallops. Luscious, marinated in bone marrow, another “oh my god” moment thanks to these bad boys.- Oysters. Bright, acidic, fresher than fresh. A wonderful way to start a meal.I couldn’t rave more about the service we received. When we got to our table, we had the sweet surprise of an anniversary card signed by all of the staff working that night. It was so unexpected and really made us feel special. Our servers Jackson and Emily were attentive, super knowledgeable of the menu and ingredients, and took impeccable care of us. Other staff members wished us a happy anniversary, asked us how many years we were celebrating and how we met—it made us feel like we were a part of the restaurant instead of just one-time visitors. These days, it’s rare for places to strike that tone successfully. The Hestia staff did it with ease.The concept of a “modern hearth” might not conjure up a clear picture in your head right away. Take a visit to Hestia, and it’ll click.
