Hestia, named after the Greek goddess of the hearth, is a modern live-fire grill house. Dishes find inspiration from a custom 20-ft hearth which anchors the kitchen and dining room. Our menus offers an opportunity to explore and showcase techniques that highlight the role of fire in food. You may choose to order from our a la carte menu or experience our chef curated tasting menu.

We accept reservations 60 days in advance. For event inquiries, please visit our website.

Food was incredible. We had about 6 different dishes and tried 2 desserts. There seriously was not one bad bite. Service was impeccable.

Every dish and every cocktail was outstanding. Flavor explosions with every bite, well balanced and unique cocktails. Gabby and Rudy took great care of us, George is a true hospitalitarian, and everyone who came to our table was so knowledgeable about the item they were serving. Great restaurant, great staff. Completely understandable why they earned a Michelin star. Run, don’t walk, to your reservation now!

Food was amazing. Service was fantastic. They helped us course everything out even though we were on a slight time crunch. The martini cart was the cherry on top. Would highly recommend to anyone.

The food is flawless. The wait at the bar can be a little tight but the cocktails are delightful. I can’t recommend this place enough.

The kind place to go if you want to discover flavors. The menu is perfect size, great shareables and appetizers, with the main entrees we tried being both great. Atmosphere is great and the service was spotless. I like the cozy feeling of the location and the combination of modern and warm decor.

Great drinks and service as always! The food wasn’t as good as previous times I’ve dined here - the entrees were a bit salty. The oysters arrived masked by an overly assertive dressing that drowned out any hint of their natural brininess. Unfortunately, what little flavor remained leaned unpleasantly fishy, and perhaps suggesting less-than-ideal freshness.

Excellent cocktails and selection of wines by the glass. The bread service and Wagyu were great. The potatoes side dish was served a bit on the cold side and the kitchen seemed to have some timing issues generally. Service was attentive. I would certainly go again, but would hope that the kinks are worked out.

We ordered a la carte. Our serving team was very helpful in navigating the menu and selecting drinks to go with our food. We appreciated the help as we realized the dishes don't always fit the flavor profile one might expect from the primary ingredient - for better or for worse. There were a few standouts - pork chop, squash tart and cocktails. Oyster, scallops and mushrooms, on the other hand, had too much distraction for the main ingredients to shine although a lot of thought and effort clearly went into them and nothing was boring. Dining room can be rather noisy and feel busy. So manage your expectations and it'll be enjoyable.
