    The menu offers a wide variety of choices. Food is thoughtfully prepared with emphasis on a layering of flavors and textures. The quality of the ingredients is evident in the taste of the appetizers and entrees served. Cocktails are designed to complement the food and there is an excellent selection of wines as well. The staff are knowledgeable and helpful in guiding one thru the menu. This restaurant deserves high praises and is a must to dine at.

    We went for a special "One Hundred Mile" evening where all ingredients were sourced within one hundred miles of the restaurant. The theme of the evening was American southern-influenced and Thai dishes prepared by an outside chef. The whole experience was beautifully paced, and the dishes were Michelin-quality. An informal but amazing evening. The staff could not have been more attentive and knowledgeable.

    We booked the chef's table tasting menu. The flavors were creative and thoughtful, and the service was friendly and attentive. Two things would have made the experience outstanding. First, some of the food was lukewarm when we got it. Second, despite five courses, I was still hungry when we left. The portions for the fish and meat course were small. (My husband ate his steak in a single bite.)
    Urban HearthResponded on 27 February 2025
    Hi Camille, we take feedback very seriously, so thank you for sharing your experience with us. The chef's tasting is designed to be multiple small portions. Most folks are pretty stuffed by the time they head home and it's a delicate balance between too much and not enough, depending on your preferences. We're sorry we left you wanting more. Do give us another chance so we can wow you!

    My friends and I love to explore all that the NE food scene has to offer and Urban Hearth is no different. The intimacy of the restaurant lends itself well to a great date night spot or a wonderful place for friends to catch up. The food: genuinely outstanding both in terms of flavor, presentation and in composition. The service: Sam was a delight to speak to and ask about recommendations - the feta gnudi (don’t pass it up, the broth is delicious) the beef short rib (as luxurious as you could hope). In short - don’t pass up going to Urban Hearth for a foodie’s dream.

    The kitchen was understaffed so the meal took a very long time to come out (over 2 hours for 4 dishes, two of which were bread and salad). We declined to order dessert because it would have taken another hours! Waitstaff was a bit rude about it. The short rib was absolutely outstanding.

    Hi Belinda, so sorry to hear you had a sub par experience. If you wish to share more about your experience, you're always welcome to email us. We take feedback very seriously. Hope to have you dine with us again so we can make it up to you.
