    The service was pretty good. The food was disappointing. The grilled seafood was rubbery and the risotto was extremely heavy. The pappardelle pasta was dry. The ambience would’ve been nice, but there were some weird things like an air freshener daisychained to an outlet on the wall.  the addition of live music was kind of nice, but light instrumental music would have been preferable to a vocalist.

    This is our second time celebrating Mother’s Day at Hearts & Flames. Overall, it was still a good experience and we liked their pasta and lamb chop dishes. However, we are a little disappointed at the Fig salad missing the figs when it was served, the risotto is a bit on the dry side , and the lack of availability of dessert options. We wish the serve could tell us ahead of time if something is out from the menu when they provided us the menu. We heard the restaurant has a busy brunch crowd and that may have impacted the service and our experience this time.

    Great night to celebrate our engagement. Loved the live music, very romantic! The kitchen was out of a few menu items and ingredients but the server explained they were getting ready for a menu change.

    Completely overpriced, especially the drinks. Ordered a Vodka Soda $15 but requested Ketel, they added an additional $15 on top and it was an 8oz glass. 2 filet mignons and 3 drinks $245 not including tip. Place had only 8 of maybe 40 tables filled on a Saturday night. After I saw the check I realized why it wasnt full. Would not recommend to anyone.

    Hearts and Flame offers a stunning ambiance with its open kitchen concept, creating an inviting atmosphere. As a destination restaurant, the experience is crucial, and while the food quality and freshness are commendable, the service aspect could be refined. On a busy Friday night, only one primary server and a backup made it challenging to provide the level of engagement expected in a restaurant where guests seek an elevated dining experience. A menu tour and guided recommendations would enhance the hospitality, turning the meal into an experience rather than a transaction. The restaurant has all the right ingredients—quality food, a unique concept (especially the Parmesan wheel presentation), and an environment perfect for special occasions. Elevating service to match the ambiance could help Hearts and Flame maximize its potential and drive stronger word-of-mouth appeal.

    Enjoys our date night out. The location is difficult to park to, but if you get dropped off a location to visit. They had live music for our Sat. Visit. Very chill and romantic vibe. The outdoor setting is also chill..
