    Overall great experience. Our server was very slow. Barely checked in on us. We asked for the cocktails to come out with dinner…. That didn’t happen. Would I come back again? Sure but I’ll sit at the bar next time.

    Service was great. The meatballs were fabulous. The pizza was subpar at best and that was the main reason for my visit. Not enough toppings and it was dry.

    I recently dined at Hersh's and was thoroughly impressed. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, with attentive and friendly staff that enhanced the experience. The menu offers a great variety of dishes, and everything we tried was flavorful and well-prepared. The wood-fired pizzas were a highlight – crispy, fresh, and delicious. The pasta was cooked perfectly, and the house-made sauces were rich and satisfying. The selection of wines was excellent, with great pairings that complemented the meal beautifully. Whether for a casual dinner or special occasion, Hersh's is a fantastic choice for both food and wine lovers.
