    Beautiful restaurant. Lacking service and food was so-so. Definitely not the same quality or service as the other locations.

    Location and service was very nice. Tried the ribeye and it was overcooked and tough so you might want to try another option.

    Was in town for a conference and stumbled upon Hearsay. Being from NJ don’t have many opportunities to have red fish which did not disappoint. Very well done. The best part of meal was the mixed green salad. Dressing was phenomenal. Definitely a great find and look forward to my next meal there.

    We were delighted to see the cute decor when we arrived at the restaurant. Very fun and energetic. We were seated outside and soon realized it was going to be a really loud evening. Not ideal for a business dinner. That said, the views were lovely and we managed to have conversations with those seated next to us versus the entire group as one. Our food was a mix: - Tuna Nachos - I'd pass on theses. The tuna had little flavor. They were just meh. - Spinach & Artichoke Dip - Really good! Lots of flavor and not that artificial flavor you sometimes get with this dish. - Kale Salad with Grilled Chicken - Exceptional. You know chicken can be hit or miss on a salad. This was moist, flavorful, and cooked just perfectly! - Seasonal Salad - My colleague raved about this salad. She had the same chicken on hers that I did. - Baked Street Corn - Wow! This was really good. May have been my favorite dish. - Bread Pudding - Good. Could have used a flavorful sauce on it. Maybe caramel. Or something else. It was good, but could have been even better. Service was fine. We had to go ask for our check after a pretty slow approach to service. Seems like that is a trend as restaurants struggle with finding enough staff. We don't live here, so we won't likely return, but it was a good meal.

    Hi Dee, Thank you for your thoughtful review! I’m glad you enjoyed the decor and some of our dishes, especially the kale salad and baked street corn. I appreciate your feedback about the tuna nachos and bread pudding—we’re always looking to improve. I understand the noise can get lively, especially outdoors. I hope you still had a pleasant evening. Safe travels, and we’d love to welcome you back if you’re ever in town again!
