   The food was very good and the selections were interesting. My table had salads, appetizers. Steaks scallops and lobster. The wine list was extensive. Our waiter was inexperienced and spilled drinks, couldn’t do the wine service correctly and apologized a lot. This is a new restaurant and the food is good. Other staff members seemed very good.

   Real chefs were clearly present in the kitchen at The Hartley on Wednesday night. The octopus appetizer was unique and perfectly cooked. The entrees were delicious. But the desserts! Yummy, original desserts made a special occasion special.

   WOW! A restaurant now exists where you can talk and not scream to be heard!! What a nice experience! Beautiful restaurant, delicious food. In particular the spiral agnolotti was outrageous! Nice not to be rushed in any way. Very nice evening!

   Great experience, everyone was friendly since the moment we stepped inside. We had our 19 month old daughter with us and they offered us a high chair and were super accommodating. Our server was super friendly and attentive! Cocktail and food was top notch! Hope to go back soon!

   Overall good experience. Food was served at a good pace and had great flavor. Martini was $21! Find this overpriced for the drink and disappointing.

   What a breath of fresh air! The Hartley offers its clients a sophisticated, upbeat, and upscale atmosphere in which to enjoy fabulous drinks and delicious dinners. Thoughtfully decorated with a calm, dignified backdrop, the bar and dining rooms are punctuated with bright, beautiful abstract artwork commissioned specifically for the restaurant. The result? A uniquely cheerful, warm, urbane, and elegant ambience! In addition to its outstanding food and beautifully made drinks, the service is exceptional. The bar tender, Dylan, is articulate, friendly, and attentive, and the servers and hostess are personable and professional in delivery and appearance --- a rarity these days. The Hartley has by far raised the standard for and elevated the mood of local / regional dining. It is NUMBER ONE on our list for quiet dinners out during the week and lively dinners and drinks with friends on the weekend. Viva la Hartley!

   Ambiance is great, and restaurant is not noisy. Server was excellent. Bar is lovely, drinks were great, food was nicely presented and prepared but over salted. All 4 diners felt the same with 4 different dishes. After my review the Hartley indicated they addressed with the Chef. We are looking forward to heading back!
