Honestly - this is one of the best restaurants in Brooklyn. It’s in our top 5. From drinks to food to service to vibe. It’s literally perfect. I think I’ve been 6 times now. Get the martini and of course the pork ;)

Amazing small restaurant with a high quality dishes, was so tasty and delicious in the heart of BedStuy just outside Franklin metro station.

I took my out of town guests here and they were able to squeeze us in at the last minute and we had the best meal!! The service was incredible, the staff there is great, the wine selection!!! 10/10

Can't recommend this place enough. I wanted to plan a nice birthday dinner for my fiancee and we had some pretty strict dietary needs within our group. Taylor, Pat, and the chef went above and beyond to accommodate and were super easy to work with beforehand. Not only that, but the food and drinks were excellent from start to finish. I'm definitely going to be doing more group dinners at Hart's in the future.

Loved everything I ate there. I didn't really feel like the menu was too Mediterranean. But it was good. 😊

Amazing food, excellent service. I believe the menu changes seasonally so I am excited to return again at a different time. I had the spring '22 menu and everything I had was delicious. My favorite dish of the night was the clam toast...highly recommend!

We had the Louisiana prawns, trout, and mackerel — all of the dishes were delicious! Attentive service and intimate space perfect for a date night. Looking forward to returning when they update their menu again.

Intimate place with great food. A small menu, we ordered a bunch and shared everything. Everything was great but the starters in particular were fantastic. I'd recommend just sticking with those. Service was also great.

Had an amazing meal at Hart's. The lamb burger was the best I've ever had, and the ricotta appetizer was excellent. It's very small and the space is tight. You can hear your table mates conversation.

Went here for brunch with a friend and got there right before they opened. Seated right away - wonderful service. The food was fantastic - perfectly poached eggs on greens. And I’ve never had better hash browns. A neighborhood delight!

Had the pleasure of eating here recently, and I can honestly say that it was one of the best meals I've ever had. I personally had the Spanish mackerel and it was outstanding. Highly recommend!

Vibe and lighting are so nice. Been there with a large group and just two of us. Both experience were amazing. Super chill and inviting staff, intimate setting and all the food was absolutely delicious. Much appreciated!!!

Cozy place with delicious small plates and wine menu. Clam Toast is a must.

Had an amazing meal here eating a lot of things I wouldn't typically order. We weren't crazy about the hake, but everything else was great.

Definition of a hidden GEM! Thankful.

A true gem we are lucky to have in Bed-Stuy. A continously changing menu that never lets down is complemented by a warm and friendly atmosphere. If I could eat here every night I would, but I can't.

Blown away by what I had. Chicken thighs braised to perfection served in gravy and green beans. Server behind the bar guided me to two glasses of wine that suited the dish and catered to my asks. Excited to come back with a bigger stomach!

This restaurant is a slam dunk. The staff is friendly and laid back while providing top-tier service and expertise. The menu is creative, the space is beautiful and the food will keep you talking about it for days. The wine list and cocktails were also remarkable.

The food here is very high level without the fuss of white table cloth dining. It feels like you're sitting in a friend's living room and eating some of the most high end tapas you could imagine. The staff is so friendly, welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive. Couldn't have asked for a better experience from beginning to end and we'll be back again soon!

The Hart's team was extremely kind and considerate to me in making accommodations for my birthday dinner, which I really appreciated! The vibe of the place was perfect, our server was attentive and helpful, and my friends and I had a wonderful time. We tried a little of everything (all good), but the lamb burger with marinated anchovies is the must-get, even if you're not really a lamb or anchovies person -- mind-blowing. Greasy, salty, juicy, perfectly cooked. I'll definitely be going back for that and a cocktail.

Delicious brunch - lots of house made ingredients , they only do sunny side up eggs though, which I enjoy🍳 but if you don't then yr sol

I’m a server at a restaurant in Prospect Heights. My guests have been talking about Hart’s every time I make a wine recommendation or ask them where they like to go. 7 months after first hearing about Hart’s, I was able to go on a night off. Not gonna lie, the service was impeccable; friendly; open concept kitchen and kindness. Elan was immediately approachable and the whole team took care of us immediately. We will definitely be coming back - and I’ll be sending my partner with his friends since he doesn’t have an industry job.

This place is great. I’ve eaten here a few times and the food is consistently very good. The servers and bartenders are very welcoming and attentive. The chef is creative and very talented. The portion sizes are more than generous in a time where most restaurants are really skimping because of the high cost of ingredients. My only slight criticism is, don’t eat outside. It’s not the restaurants fault necessarily but I wasn’t able to enjoy my meal because of a person who wasn’t eating at the restaurant who took one of the tables next to me and started smoking and spitting and listening to something on their phone. I’m sensitive to cigarette and weed smoke and this made me lose my appetite very quickly.

Adorable decor, cozy. Every dish was perfect!

Quite possibly one of the best meals I’ve had in the neighborhood. Absolutely loved the tuna crudo, little gems salad, zucchini donuts, pork Milanese and sourdough bread aka everything we ordered. Also loved the cozy, intimate feel of the space!

New favorite place! Food is thoughtful and fresh. Cocktails are yummy. Service is kind but not overbearing. The space is unusual and cozy. Marinated anchovy on lamb burger… sounds crazy but it slaps like you wouldn’t believe.

This is a cute place with great food and excellent service. I think most of the food is locally sourced(?) It at least tastes very fresh. The dishes are thoughtful and rotate often, and the menu is small enough to fit on one side of paper (which I like). They have a pretty adventurous wine menu as well. The staff seem coordinated and happy, which is not always the case at these kinds of restaurants. It's definitely more expensive than a lot of places in the neighborhood, but you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic restaurant - food is always delicious and flavorful, and service is great. Sister restaurant of Cervo’s, one of my favorite restaurants in New York. Feel lucky each time I eat here!

A little pricey for the neighborhood, but definitely worth it. The clam toast is the comfort food I never knew I needed. Very rich and complex flavor, but not heavy. Tuna crudo was also amazing, but heavy on the vinegar if that's not your thing. I'd order it again. I wasn't suuuuper excited by the wine choice, but I was into the cocktail menu. Really friendly staff and nice ambience.

Came here last night, not sure if it was the owner or manager, but he was so nice. Food was 10/10. We got two apps and the filet entree. Wish we had room for dessert. We will be coming back often!! Thanks for the great experience.

I can't say enough about the creative food here. Also, the owners and wait staff are fully engaged and committed to your dining experience, which I promise will be excellent. The menu is simple and perfect; it's a well thought out choice of foods accompanied by a thoughtful, atypical wine and cocktail menu. I thought I'd had a lamb burger before coming here--I was wrong. It was so, so good. Fennel on a burger? I didn't know it was perfection! I've got to try the mushroom ricotta the next time I go. Then I'll try the swordfish on my next trip. So glad they're right around the corner here in Bed Stuy!

A truly delicious meal! We loved our dinner at Harts not just for the flavors, but for the energy in the kitchen. Seeing the chef cooking and smiling the whole time was a major plus. After all, we’re not just eating food we’re also somehow eating the intention behind it. Will definitely return to try more of the menu!

Excellent food, service and wine selection. Cozy but big heart kind of kitchen. The clam toast is a must. Definitely going back.

A very tiny restaurant with a small but high quality cocktail and wine list. Food was good and felt fresh. Highlights were the butter beans with mussels and salsa verde, the asparagus with poached egg, ricotta and radishes, and olive oil cake with rhubarb.

Loved it!!! Equally or more than cervos!! Of course menu rotates but my visit was *chefs kiss* delicious Everything I got I would order again but my favorites in this order - shrimp with garlic and bottarga - frisee salad - potato salad - Spanish mackerel - pork Milanese - ricotta - sourdough bread - olives

The women of Brooklyn are among the most sophisticated in the world and they are right and correct: Hart's is extremely good.

Cozy local excellent food, superb staff, highly recommended. Small place, book ahead.

Overall amazing night The service team was attentive, especially outlining the menu items which could be created vegan The chef prepared a special dish for me off menu to ensure I had a great experience I applaud you all Wonderful work Alison

Great food, cocktails, and vibes! The staff was very friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the marinated beets, the clams and toast, the fresh ricotta, and the pork Milanese. We had both the olive oil cake and the sesame pudding for dessert which were both delicious! Would recommend, and will plan to return!

Such an intimate spot. The menu is always super cohesive (no bad bites!) and the drinks/wine complement the food so well.

Intimate, neighborhood spot that has feel good vibes as soon as you step in. Everything we tried felt fresh and delicious. Highlights were the clam toast and the lamb burger with anchovies.

small and intimate space, with a four seat bar with kitchen view, makes for a cozy spot for a catch up or date. menu consists of some unique and savory plates - with a carefully curated natural wine list. didn’t get a chance to try the leek dish, which beckoned to me while i waited to meet friends — friendly bartender and a great glass of red made my wait fly by. definitely book ahead, ressies are confirmed so it’ll be divine intervention or random no show that’ll get you a seat before 930pm.

Restaurant Review: A Culinary Delight with Room for Improvement Dining at this restaurant was an experience of contrasts. The food was absolutely exquisite, showcasing thoughtful preparation and flavors that delighted with every bite. The service added to the charm, with staff exuding a genuinely positive vibe that made us feel welcome and well-cared for. The ambiance was a mixed bag. While the choice of music was excellent and added a lively touch to the atmosphere, the volume was overwhelmingly loud. Coupled with a tightly arranged seating layout, it created an environment where every table seemed to be shouting over one another. At times, the noise level resembled a rowdy baseball field, with extreme laughter echoing as if it were staged. Suggestions for Management: Consider lowering the music volume to create a more balanced and enjoyable environment. If the noise issue persists, perhaps place a polite sign encouraging guests to be mindful of their surroundings due to the intimate space. Ultimately, guests come for the experience, and the atmosphere plays a vital role in that. That said, the food and service were undeniably superb, making this a restaurant worth revisiting—hopefully with a more serene dining environment next time!

Small, casual, chic and long-running restaurant with fantastic, seasonal American fare. Worth a special trip. Hart’s launched the mini restaurant empire of the Cervos, Eel Bar and The Fly.

Amazing! Our favorite restaurant in the area. We had a very attentive waitress last night and every dish we ordered was executed beautifully. Our favorites were the pork Milanese, their seasonal cabbage salad, and their lamb burger. Will come back again soon.

Samantha Phenix

Had a wonderful meal here during a work trip. Small but perfectly formed little spot! Bonus was reminiscing re all the foodies spots we miss from stumptown with fellow portlander and now hart's staff member, Lily.

Giovanni

Great spot! The food is delicious and the service is attentive. The wine selection was fantastic as well. The atmosphere is cozy in this small restaurant. My favorite dish was the wax beans with salsa tonnata and anchovies

Kamy Chong

I’m glad I got to try this restaurant. Located right next to the S train, Hart’s is a seafood, olive oil, simple menu focused eatery. I appreciated the quality of the olive oil and the bread. The lamb burger was pretty damn good too. The tomato salad was one of the best I’ve had. A bit too pricey for the food and quantity, but hey, I’d come back again.

Lindsey Swedick

Loved everything about this place! The food was uncomplicated in the best way - fresh, straightforward, and delicious. The clam toast and gem salad stood out as particularly incredible. It's a great place for a date or small group to share plates so you can try a lot of different things! The atmosphere is cozy and cute, and the service was great. We will be coming back here regularly!

Paula Patterson

Every bite was perfect! Service was attentive and comfortable, food was out of this world and we had some excellent drinks and wine! Our favorite was the tuna conserva, WOW!

Hart’s is a stylish and cozy spot. Made a reservation earlier this week for a 6:30PM dinner and there were a few other patrons. By the time we were done, the place was full and lively! Since it is a small spot, making a reservation is a good call. The food was delicious and all had a fun ingredient detail to it. Drinks are great too! Go check out Hart for an intimate dinner experience.

I’m going to start this review by saying I’m pregnant so I didn’t get the full feel of the menu (crudo you looked fab and the wine list looked great too… see you both in 6 months). With that said this restaurant is a everything I want from a restaurant. Beautiful space, I think a bit too dark- but personal opinion and didnt take away from the experience. Service was 10/10 Food list in order or deliciousness. Pork - it was such a well composed dish. So many yummy elements that make it unique and perfect. Little gem/fennel salad - so yummy. Creative, fresh and bright. Arancini- flavor was amazing. It was kinda cold when served and would have preferred it hotter Hake- cooked well. Presentation felt sloppy but not in a cute way. Chickpeas were undercooked. Overall a great experience- can’t wait to go back!

The food was great. The menu has lots of variety from small shareable plates to larger mains. We loved the tuna crudo and mackerel dishes we had.

Came here with 1 other in summer '22 and had the clam toast, pork milanese, and lamb burger. The clam toast was a tasty appetizer, but the entrees were definitely the stars of the show. The milanese seemed to be a little bland at first until we realized there was pesto hidden under it. All flavors together after that were spot on and delicious, and the pork was fried well and still so tender and juicy. The lamb burger with the anchovies and celery was amazing all together. The anchovies really add something perfect in flavor that I think other lamb burgers I've tried lack. Grabbed a tin of mussels from Minnow as well. They were in escabeche and tasty straight from the can!

Yesong Cho

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!!

Peter Cuce

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.

Good overall. Was happy to try Hart’s after ages living in the area. The space is tiny inside - tables are really close to each other but the place is well decorated. - The drinks were great. - Food was a mix. The starters were really good (crudo, manchego, olives, bread, and clam toast were delicious). The mains were ok. We summer vegetable dish for $26 was a big let down. A few pieces of lettuce, boiled potatos, snap peas, sardines, and a dipping sauce for $26. And then the mackerel was a little bland for a main.

A little too intimate, Hart's could really benefit from having one less table. Luckily the food helps you overlook the cramped space. The menu is composed of a mix of small and large dishes that lend themselves well to sharing. Because it's ever changing however, I won't go into specifics as beloved dishes might be gone on subsequent visits. I will say however that the small plates are generally more hit or miss, so I definitely advise to ask the friendly wait staff for their recommendations.

6 of us, including a baby, had a delicious dinner here. A small friendly neighborhood place. Nick cooks up a storm in the small kitchen. Service is on the slow side. Tried the orange wine which was too bitter for us so had a bottle of red and some ok cocktails. Everyone's food was tasty with good flavors. Come, be patient and enjoy!

Delicious food, but tiny portions. Menu isn’t very varied so there’s not a great diversity of choice, but the dishes they do have were amazing. Highly recommend clam toast and the tuna crudo. Service was fantastic!

I came here on a recommendation from a local barista who raved about The Fly and here. i wanted to like it more, but the experience as someone who couldn't have gluten was lacking. I opted for two smaller dishes because the only main dish option would have been a whole fish and some ramps. I wanted a bit more variety, so I got the Louisiana prawns w/capers (hot) and asparagus & mortadella (cold). The prawns came out first, and the asparagus arrived when I was about halfway through. They were both tasty and balanced dishes, but I was disappointed because I had no way to enjoy the garlic-y buttery broth from the prawns or the flavorful dressing on the asparagus because there was no gluten-free bread. The folks seated next to me were digging into their small plates with hulks of delicious looking bread. I felt like i missed out on a major part of the experience of the dish. My server could have done a better job of recommending dishes. I'd give this place another chance if I were with a friend and could justify trying more dishes.

The food is outstanding. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The staff did a wonderful job making the experience lovely.

Cozy spot, mainly because it is a small space with seating rather close to one another. If you’ve been to Cervo’s, you know the lamb burger with anchovies is exceptional, and that was the case here. The beet salad and prawns were also a great starter dishes.

food was good, service was good, music was popping, just a bit overpriced! we went for a special (latke night) so we didn't have the regular menu items,

I loved the ambiance. Food was fresh and unique, it was a great experience.

Enjoyable dinner. Favorite dishes were the clam toast, the potatoes with Serrano ham and horseradish, the Spanish mackerel and the pork Milanese. Would skip the scallion donuts because they were not that interesting. They seen like they needed some sort of dip/ sauce. The ricotta dish was not my cup of tea but I'm not a fan of overly dairy forward dishes unless the accompaniments are very flavorful. The pizza Bianca was very nice.

Fantastic Sunday brunch with lovely staff and a worthy Bloody Mary. Lamb burger is the go if it's your thing.

It’s a small space, but very welcoming. The food was very good and I wish I had more of it! I recommend this place for brunch and enjoyed their gravlax toast.

Feels like manhattan. In Clinton hill/Bed-Stuy. Make a reservation on a night that you assume will be busy because this place is BUSY. Cute spot, very cozy, because it is the size of a large bedroom. Literally seats maybe 20ish people. The menu is a small one because the kitchen is probably the size of a closet, but a well-equipped one. Small plates will run you around $12-$16, entrees $18-28ish. Drinks selection is big. My pic attached is the clam toast. Totes delish. Might have to come back just to have this again honestly!! Wish there was more on the plate!

I wanted to love this place and waited over a month to get a spot for two. Unfortunately we found it a little underwhelming, although the spring onion dish was delightful. It was hard to hear and a little cramped which impacted the atmosphere. The staff was very friendly and brought a positive energy their service.

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.

Chris Quartly

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.

Annie Yuan

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.

Small portions. Didn’t got a long way with what we paid. Food wasn’t bad but not the best in the city. Olive oil cake at the end of the night was the best thing we had.

The food is very underwhelming for the price. We got the following: clam toast, bread, corn, ricotta appetizer, mackerel & monk fish. The fish needed more salt and seasoning. I did like the bread but thought the clam toast wasn’t special (buttered toast with clam and garlic butter sauce). I did really like the sesame pudding dessert. Overall, good to try once but I wouldn’t be a regular. Also we had asked for the monkfish to be made without ham but there must have been a mix up in the kitchen because it had ham.

Outstanding bread and starters. The place has a wonderful charm. Would've been perfect if our waiter hadn't been unfriendly and inattentive - even getting water refilled took a couple tries. Also, there is not one vegetarian entree option. Bit odd.

Most of the dishes didn't make sense and lacked flavor. The mackerel was good, but nothing to write home about. It felt like gentrification at its finest as we ate pretty average food and watched the servers lock the door as people would come in and out. Won't be returning.

I think the food was okay; however, the hake fish was barely warm, which I suspect might have been the chef's intention. This is questionable, and the servers should have warned guests about it. The place was very crowded, and since we were at a shared table, I felt paralyzed—I couldn't talk, hear, or enjoy myself. It just wasn't my vibe, and overall, the experience was not very good.

David Foster

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).

Kyle Bella

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.

Christian “C-Rex” Berry

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...

Today's we just had dinner at this restaurant, as a valentine's day celebration. And sadly we are deeply disappointed. The place it's nice but uncomfortable, small tables and seats. Even though the staff was very nice and attentive, the food is completely overpriced and overrated. We had been at fancy, trendy restaurants and a lettuce salad needs to be a lot more than just lettuce, some turnips and a dressing to be a 10 dollars or so salad. The prawns where very tasty, but come on guys! We spend nearly 100 dollars on raw carrots and fennel, bread, prawns and lettuce. Not even dessert! There where nice, but no way a 100 dollar nice. After the experience, we left with the bitter taste of being on an mise en scène of a restaurant than a real dinning experience. Tasty, well served but completely unsatisfactory.

Overpriced for the quality of service they provide (or don’t, I should say). Checked in with the host who barely said “hello” and just gestured to the bar for open seats. The bartender was stuffing her face in plain view and talking to us with a mouth full of bread. Touching our plates etc. after putting food in her mouth. Lucky for them I am not a health inspector otherwise this place would be shut down. Sooo many other respectable places to go to, who actually care about providing hospitality to those spending $$$ to join them. Hipster places like this give Brooklyn restaurants a bad name. Would go back if someone was paying 100% of the bill and we didn’t have to sit at the bar to watch the staff chow down with bare hands in front of patrons.

You will not get full off this rabbit Mediterranean food. Had the $16 clam toast that was delectable! Place is cramped, overpriced, not much selection. We went to a place afterwards, an African Restaurant for our entree. The service at Harts is beautiful. Waitress was attentive, explained items and I appreciate that!

Not good for people with dietary restrictions. The kitchen won't accommodate simple requests (eg a fully cooked burger) even for medical reasons. Shame because the front of house staff are lovely and the menu is great. If you don't have restrictions, enjoy.

Mediocre and wayyy overpriced for what it is. Got seated 25 mins after our reservation. The appetizers were better than the entrees. The clam toast was the best dish I had. $17 gets you just a few clams and two pieces of toast. Blowfish tails were ok - different. $18 lamb burger is very small and more like a slider, mine was hard and overcooked. The $27 hake dish is a total joke. 2 apps and 2 entrees later, prepare to leave the place $100 poorer and regretting your life decision.

Avoid this place if you can. Service was really bad. Waiter said orders had to be placed all at once and eye rolled when we asked for the menu to see if we wanted dessert. Tables are tiny. The food is an absurd try to escalate dishes with horrible compositions. The citrus salad is just orange wedges with olive oil and a vinagrette. Uncomfortable and overrated. Not coming back. Go to place de fetes instead, better wine and dishes, also local spot.

From start to finish the experience was a bit off. We watched an unhinged homeless man foaming at the mouth attack everyone’s table inside and out. These things happen but it really affected our experience and no one acknowledged it. We waited 25 mins for a server to place an order with us with no hi hello or anything. The food is great even though it’s expensive. I don’t mind paying a high price if everything is great but the service was just bad.
