    We had a fantastic experience at Urban Hearth! The small dining room and open kitchen makes the ambiance great and every dish was delicious - my favorite was the Scallop dish. Just missed out on ordering a biscuit which was unfortunate but the brown bread was a delicious alternate decision for us! Highly recommend!

    An exceptional experience! Our second time at the Chef's table. The food, the service, the ambience all were fantastic. Each dish was truly a work of art, with the chef reviewing the ingredients, their sources, and the presentations. She well deserves her nomination for a James Beard award. The quintessential "special occasion" destination.
    Urban HearthResponded on April 11, 2025
    Thanks so much, Joe!! Always great to see you.
