Truly a place where I could spend my dinner, solely focused on enjoying delicious food. We went as a group of three, and ended up ordering a bunch of appetizers instead of getting main entrees, because we wanted to try as many dishes as possible. This was an excellent decision! We ordered - Little Gem salad - Citrus salad - Clam Toast - Prawns - Roasted beet - Side of sourdough bread It was impossible for any of us to pick our favorites, because every dish was delicious and unique in its own. Clam Toast had a deep flavor of pancetta, soaked inside the bread, which went surprisingly well with the clams. Little gem salad was an elevated Caesar Salad, in which the taste of anchovy really stood out in the dressing, but in the most pleasant way. On top of delicious foods, the service was impeccable and the atmosphere was cozy and warm, yet lively. Even though I enjoyed dining and conversing with my friends, it felt like everyone in the restaurant was all partaking in one communal experience. I am so glad I was able to dine here, and will be going back soon!

Before we went to NYC, owner of our bnb had recommended Hart’s to us. Actually it’s in the neighborhood so we passed by it a few times when we walked from our bnb to the subway station. It looked like an interesting place for fine dining therefore we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was small and easily full. Table reservation became a must. Eventually we had a fantastic night there. Food was excellent. Ambience was stylish and cozy. They also had a good selection of wine!!

Attractive room - inventive use of small space. Creative food that honors the ingredients, not afraid of big flavors, intense spicing. I like their use of anchovies and sardines in unexpected places, such as grass fed lamb burger with anchovies. Love this place.

Most dishes except clam toast polish panceda were awesome. Clams were bit too tiny with not much of meat in it. Atmosphere was good. Service was great.

The food here was a hit or miss. I was extremely excited for the fried oysters, but the ones we received were small and tasted bitter and musky. The clam toast on the other hand, was spectacularly seasoned and cooked to perfection. I would also recommend getting the citrus salad, squash with taleggio, and the olive oil cake! You could forgo the olive oil cake and the oysters, but please get the clam toast. We ordered a total of 5 appetizers and a dessert and the service took an hour and a half, so make of that what you will.

Excellent experience at hart's, small but focused menu with a good cocktail program as well (and not to mention a near perfect soundtrack while I was there). Took some maneuvering with the size of the table when multiple plates were out but also felt part of the vibe. Would be here a lot if it were my local. Will take home some of the tinned fish on offer if I make it back.

Cute, intimate restaurant - they have maybe 8 tables and a 5-seat bar, so wouldn’t advise coming here with a big group. Food was tasty, although flavors weren’t particularly unique or groundbreaking. I ordered the clam toast, lamb burger with anchovies, and olive oil cake. Clam toast was essentially a very garlicky moules marinieres over thick-cut, grilled She Wolf Bakery bread. Lamb burger was very good, with a nice savoriness thanks to the anchovies. Olive oil cake was disappointingly dry and crumbly. Service was good, but a little distant, and portions were tiny. Probably won’t come back but it’s worth a try.

has definitely lost quality and service -- food was overcooked (beef burger, trout), unbalanced (cucumber with scallops). staff seemed rushed and limited descriptions of menu, wines. place is loud and crowded but did much better in past. clam toast was best of menu (but not exceptional).

The food is almost always really tasty but I did not have a great experience service and atmosphere wise the last time I went. We went for the peak summer tasting menu and immediately the servers seemed stressed and overworked. I got seated at the middle seat in a communal table which is against a wall, causing the person sitting to my left to have to awkwardly move behind me to use the bathroom or leave their seat. There also wasn't a lot of friendliness or warmth service wise. They forgot the corn that listed in our dish but everyone else around us seemed to get it, which was confusing. And to add to it - the server knocked over one of our wine glasses, which happens but there was not a comped drink or discount offered on our bill, which didn't seem professional, especially spending over $150 per person with tax. Maybe it was an off night but I'm not so motivated to return when you can go to multiple restaurants with very good service and less chaotic atmosphere in close proximity.

So, I took my girl out on a date here. The place was small but comfortable. Seats about 20-24 people. A good spot for a date night. Felt it was pricey for what we got. We shared everything. The food was ok but honestly there just wasn't anything we tasted that we would have to come back for. She ordered the perfect martini which was pretty good. I got the boulevardier then just a ginger beer. The Bourbon drink was okay but I enjoyed the ginger beer better plus it was less than half the price lol We shared their: anchovies on toast and butter marinaded beets, grapefruit and horseradish braised endive, mussels and hazelnut Swordfish, creamy potatoes, fennel and salsa Verde Poached pear, creme anglaise, pistachio and chocolate Sadly, out of all of it.... think our favorite thing was the anchovies on toast which was pretty pricey. So $14 for 2 crostinis with seasoned butter and anchovies... Ouch I wasn't a fan of the beets dish, least favorite... The mussels and endive dish was pretty good. The swordfish dish was ok but upsetting that my favorite part was the potatoes and not the fish. The dessert was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The staff was great. Always available and quick to help, serve, clear... Just pricey for not liking most of it... For just the 2 of us we burned $160 plus tip... If I enjoyed the majority of the food, I think it would have been a good price point....feel like this was certainly more hype than anything else...
