    Filthy mirrors, filthy windows, poor management… systemic from hostess to bar to cleanliness. I’ll never go back.

    Excellent dinner last night all the way around. My reservation request of a table away from the kitchen and bathrooms was honored, allowing us to easily hear each other’s conversation. My niece, daughter, and I ordered Grey Goose martinis and a Pink Delicious-all were very tasty and would definitely order again . We agreed Hearsay’s bartender skills are always on point! Our entrées were also expertly prepared. Highly recommend the filet mignon, bistro steak, and beef short ribs. The small beet salad with its tangy dressing makes an excellent side to the weighty meat dishes. Wish I would have thought to take pictures because each item was beautifully plated.  It really was the perfect Galentine’s outing with unobtrusive but thoughtful service by Dayton who helped to make our evening special.

    The dinner menu was not available at 1:30 pm. In the past the dinner menu was available and now there has been a change. I don’t care for brunch, but I was forced to eat it. I did not enjoy the New York strip and eggs. I have never had a bad dinner plate here ever in over ten visits. I am a regular five star reviewer for Hearsay. This restaurant was in my rotation. I will not return until the dinner menu is available at 1:30 pm.

    Sunday brunch was pleasant. Pancakes small but good enough. Last minute request to sit outdoors accommodated. Bacon was cold and request for soft bacon was completely ignored. When issue was raised, there was absolutely no attempt to address the complaint at all. Summarily dismissed. Disappointing and too many options in the area to ever return again.
    Hearsay on The WaterwayResponded on February 6, 2025
    Thank you for sharing your feedback, Angela. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the ambiance and that we were able to accommodate your outdoor seating request. We’re truly sorry to hear about the issues with the bacon and the lack of follow-up. This is not the experience we strive to provide, and we’ll be sure to address your comments with the team. We hope you’ll consider giving us another chance in the future.

    We dine at Hearsay often. Our waitress last night was fabulous, attentive, and wonderful. Our food was great. I highly recommend the sea bass, pork chop and ribeye. The Brussels sprouts are the best! Thank you again for a great meal!
