Waitstaff all very kind and helpful, they appeared to really enjoy being here!! Aisha was our AMAZING waitress. Very attentive, absolutely beautiful and treated us like we were family! The shrimp and steak fajitas were so delicious, and the margaritas were OMG next level!! And last but so important to me-bathrooms were very clean! I’d give The Mexican 💯 See you again, soon!

    We had a wonderful meal last night. We had never been to Town Hearth but it was highly recommended by friends. We were not disappointed. The steaks were seasoned and cooked to perfection. The sides were delicious as well. We were told to see if Tim was available, and he was all he was billed to be. Thank you so much for your recommendations Tim! The atmosphere was also amazing. Although a bit on the loud side we were able to overlook that while still having a wonderful time. We highly recommend, and will certainly be looking forward to returning on our next special occasion.
