We sat at the chef’s counter and did the tasting menu as well as the wine pairing. It was such a fantastic and delicious experience! The flavors were outstanding and the wine pairings were excellent. Highly recommend!

Last night, I finally tried Urban Hearth. It has been on my list of places to get to for a while, but it wasn’t a place I wanted to try with my five-year-old, so I had to wait. The restaurant is tiny, 24 seats in total, with a little kitchen in the dining room. There are some additional seats outside too in good weather.

This was a first time for us sitting at a chef’s counter and watching all the liveliness of the kitchen! The service was impeccable, staff friendly, and delicious and varied tasting menu in an intimate setting. It was particularly cool watching the chefs plate the meals. Thank you to everyone for making our celebration so special and one to remember!

Farm-to-table new American cuisine served in a cozy, living room-like ambiance. The menu was nicely curated with seasonal ingredients (esp. lovely vegetables and greens) and beautifully executed in the open kitchen. The dishes are rich in flavors but not overly complicated. Enjoyed everything we ordered, especially the fiddlehead cavatelli. Tasting menu is available at chef’s table with reservation. Also great selection of wine and seasonal cocktails.

*Edit*: I had last been to Urban Hearth in late 2021 and returned in 2023, and they are the best that they have ever been.

My wife and I enjoyed their Chef’s Counter option. Everyone on the staff was extremely friendly and made for an amazing evening to enjoy the very surprising dishes the owner Erin made for us. The care she took to design a unique dining experience was amazing, and I highly suggest everyone tries out the Chef’s Counter. I personally can’t wait to go back to try their usual menu.

Took my husband out for his birthday dinner here. The foods were super delicious. At first I thought the portions were small, but once you start eating, it turned out to be a lot. Loved the presentation. Romantic environment. I like it.

My girlfriend and I had an absolutely incredible experience. We had the 3-course prix fixe, and each course was delicious, creative, unique, and beautifully plated. The mini-courses in between each dish were tasty too—make sure to come hungry! The service was exquisite, and they personalized my girlfriend’s dishes to be compatible with her dairy allergy. The restaurant has an intimate, homey setting that’s perfect for special occasions. It was one of the best meals I’ve ever had!

First time checking this place out last night and we were absolutely blown away. Absolutely everything we ate was unbelievably good. Works of art in a balance of flavor. As good as places like Mooncusser and Bistro without the stuffy atmosphere. I can’t say enough good things about this place. Thank you all for a wonderful night!

What a lucky find! This place has it all- comfortable atmosphere, friendly service, and most importantly, impeccable food. It was inventive and fun, yet comforting. Each dish was paced correctly, and was complementary to the next. There were new and fun flavors that got you excited for the next bite. Good selection of new and funky (yet delicious) cocktails. Wine pairing was spot on! You definitely get what you pay for here, a good trip to make. Reservations recommended.
