Farm-to-table dining in the comfort of our home: that is the unique experience you will find at Urban Hearth. Located in a cozy North Cambridge storefront, our intimate dining room, knowledgeable, friendly staff, and exquisitely crafted menu are the heart of our dinner service. Join us for a la carte or at our chef's counter where you'll have the pleasure of interacting with Chef Erin Miller while dining.

We share a story of culture, community, discovery and home. The globally-inspired, locally-sourced dishes we serve celebrate our rich and complex connection with food. The table is set, whether marking a special occasion or the end of a busy day, we look forward to sharing the evening with you. We welcome private event bookings for graduations, birthdays, weddings and more. To equalize the pay disparity between tipped staff & kitchen staff during our busy times, we add a 5% kitchen appreciation fee to each check. We require 24 hours notice for all cancellations.

We ate outside with a heater and blankets and we stayed warm. We were impressed with the many dishes that we ordered, all very inventive. Portions are small and expensive, clearly paying for the artistry that goes into each dish. All were very good but I must say, we had a party in January at Urban Hearth, and the dishes were a bit less complicated, more generous, and delicious. My preference. No matter what, though, Urban Hearth is a very special dining experience.

We had a fantastic experience at Urban Hearth! The small dining room and open kitchen makes the ambiance great and every dish was delicious - my favorite was the Scallop dish. Just missed out on ordering a biscuit which was unfortunate but the brown bread was a delicious alternate decision for us! Highly recommend!
