My wife and I recently stopped in to enjoy " happy hour" and to see this new Scottsdale venue. Sadly, first impression was not favorable. The bar/restaurant was not too busy at around 4pm and appeared the bar staff was on shift change. There were probably five gentlemen behind the bar more interested in talking to each other than assisting customers. After waiting about 5 minutes, waived down one of the bartenders and asked about ordering drinks and see "happy hour menu". Not much of a draft beer selection but they did offer prosecco for my wife. The bartender did not introduce himself and continued to talk with the rest of the staff while we were interested in ordering some food. We saw a few other customers at the bar having this same concern so not just us. The venue itself is very promising but not impressed with initial bar server. One of the other bartenders did take over and was much better/more attentive but by that time we decided to close out the check and move on to another restaurant. As they say, first impression is most important so doubtful we'll be back. read more

We stayed at the resort for a few days and decided to enjoy their restaurant since there were so many good reviews. We made a reservation in advance and informed that we will be bringing 2 small dogs. The hostess advised us that we can't sit inside which was understandably reasonable. We showed up for dinner.....well, you can't dine with the dogs. Excuse me?! Luckily, the restaurant manager was extremely helpful and we were allowed to sit in the outdoor area. Thank you! The meal was underwhelming, unfortunately. We had a vegetarian dish (the only one on the menu) and some duck dish. While vegetarian stew was nice, the duck was beyond salty. We still enjoyed the ambiance and the service. I would recommend to give this place a try....just skip the duck dish. read more

Bar dining! Sippin and dinner! Always enjoy stopping out for dinner and drinks at Hearth '61! Burger and fries were deliiiish and the tortelloni had some mint that really gave it something special! Love coming out to Mountain Shadows for some Thursday night yoga too! read more

The decor is absolutely stunning! I'm so obsessed! The cocktails were great, however the service was okay. We waited so long for our food, we decided to get it sent to our room it took so long. We got the lamb and chicken. They both were okay, way over priced for what it was. However, the views and ambience is beautiful. read more

Beautiful space with decent food. Enjoyed the mushroom flatbread and the scallops. Took 3 hours and 15 minutes to eat here start to finish. Service was the slowest I've experienced in a restaurant. It was almost an hour in before we had drinks and our order taken. Restaurant wasn't busy nor did the servers do anything to acknowledge the obscene wait times. I see in other reviews that long wait time was an issue, so don't come here in a rush. read more

We had a lovely time in Heath61 celebrating my friend's birthday. The service was excellent, the food was delicious and the atmosphere was beautiful. Highly recommended!! read more

This gem is located in the newly built Mountain Shadows resort, which is a sister property of Sanctuary and shares the same chef as Elements for all you fans out there! The construction is so new you can still smell the new construction. Everything about the hotel is very sleek, clean, and modern so of course the restaurant shares this type of interior design. The restaurant offers normal indoor and outdoor dining, high-tops, bar, and living room seating. Whatever your mood, you have options. We requested the outdoor patio, located by the pool with Camelback Mountain in the backdrop. The whole aesthetic of this place is picturesque! We came here on a weekend evening and had a reservation, but I suspect I would not need one for the future. There were few dinner parties but most patrons were at the bar. My party was seated immediately by the hostess and our server John followed shortly after. He wasn't the warmest person, but he displayed expert knowledge of the menu items and did his job well. He took time to explain the menu, giving us recommendations and explaining particular items. He was very engaging and even took time to clarify certain flavors with the chef. Everyone else did a great job as well. Our drinks were constantly filled, and our table clean. Service here is superb. Now for the food. I ordered the duck confit and rack of lamb for myself but was able to try other items. My favorite were the duck confit, lamb, and Vanilla Lavender Panna Cotta. Duck can sometimes taste too boring and bland, but the chef did a great job flavoring the duck. It was essentially shredded and placed over slices of bread with the ratio generously in favor of the duck. The lamb had a preserved lemon and mint puree that was a perfect complement to the lamb. Even without the lemon/mint, the lamb itself was an impressive soft and tender inside, combined with a perfect crunchy exterior. I don't know how to describe it other than the best lamb I've ever eaten. As for the Panna Cotta, it was rich but not overwhelmingly, and its texture with just right. If you're looking to eat some food, I recommend coming here! read more

First off this place is very hard to find as you can't see any street side signage. But the decor is very modern. A great place for a date or for conversation. the food was very tasty especially the ahi tartare which was a very healthy serving. we also had the rack of lamb which was delicious. Everything was served ala carte. the desserts left a little bit to be desired and our server was a bit over friendly. Overall a great place that I would try again. read more

This place was amazing!!! Great food, service and wine! Sarah was our phenomenal waitress. I highly recommend you ask for her. She made our anniversary dinner even more special with fantastic recommendations on everything from our main course to wine and dessert. The Branzino was outstanding and the salmon was really good too. The food was so good, we ate their a second night. The second night my husband and I tried the beef. We had the tenderloin of beef and short rib agnolotti...amazing! We had Belle Glos Pinot Noir and Peanut Butter Mousse for dessert. It was a night to remember. Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Bon Appetite! read more

Hearth 61 is one of those rare gem restaurants where one will consistently get an excellent meal, prepared perfectly. I don't say this lightly, as I am a home chef who prefers my own cooking to most restaurants in the valley, and despite my habit of spending $200-300 on an average meal out with my husband, I still expect a lot and am constantly comparing (I always find things to enjoy, but I can't help it!). Hearth 61 has an excellent chef. Period. Fish is the perfect freshness/temperature. Waygu beef cheek was fork tender, perfectly seasoned, well balanced with the greens and roasted parsnips and couscous. The bread is fresh. Love the sesame seeds. Service is professional and friendly--consistently. Our favorite meals are always at Orange Sky (which has changed too much imho since their re-opening) and here, at Hearth 61. The food is not basic, nor is is crazy out there, like they are trying too hard. It's well balanced and delicious and we love it every time we are there! read more

Beautiful property and scenery. This place could be great if there was great service. There were at at least 8 people in the kitchen, the restaurant was maybe 40% full and it took 45 min to get our food and some of it was cold. They did take money off the bill which was appreciated but I would not return because of the service. read more

We recently visited Hearth '61 for dinner. I could not have been happier with the experience. The ambiance is great and the seating is comfortable. We were greeted and seated immediately and our server was welcoming and knowledgeable. They offer a wide variety of dishes and between our table of 4 we tried a good portion of them ranging from seafood to steak and several of the appetizers. My personal favorites were warm duck confit and ahi tartare under the appetizers and the moroccan spiced rack of lamb and scallops under entrees. They also had excellent oysters. Each course was served at the exact right moment and each dish they brought was amazing. I highly, highly recommend that you visit the restaurant during your stay, or if you're a local just for a night out - It was absolutely the highlight of our stay there. read more

A truly spectacular meal. Very cool vibe and decor as you enter the bar area and sit inside or outside. Service was truly outstanding. Ahi tuna and burratta appetizers were simple and very flavorful. Wine selection fairly broad and extensive. We had the kale salad and tenderloin which was cooked perfectly and very well seasoned. read more

Love the atmosphere here and how welcoming the staff was. James was the only bartender at the bar and he was so quick and efficient, he really took care of all the guest! I was lucky enough to meet the Chef Alfred and he was such a sweetheart as well as great on the eyes! The food is absolutely amazing, I would say the best in the Valley!! read more

Had a wonder meal here today. The swordfish was very flavorful! One person ordered the grilled cheese which was declared as the best sandwich ever! The meal was wonderful but the service was incredible. Great recommendations and attentive. read more

Amazing food! Scallops and steak was to die for. Wasn't feeling the vibe but went for dinner and the food was on point. Everything was so good and fresh! Will be coming back next weekend bar and dinner service was amazing! Highly recommend! read more

My company hosted a client reception and dinner for 40 people at Hearth '61 at Mountain Shadows. We had a wonderful experience. As the admin responsible for coordinating the event, I'm very grateful to the restaurant manager, Laura, and all of the staff, for having the event go well. My manager and our clients were impressed. Our reception was for 30 minutes in The Living Room lounge followed by dinner in a semi-private (curtained off) area in the Hearth '61 restaurant. We pre-ordered the appetizers and wine, and everything was set out nicely when the group arrived. I had been worried about having time for everyone to be served a drink during the short reception, but there was a server offering everyone a glass of our pre-selected wine at the entrance to the reception area, so service was actually very efficient. The sunken lounge is a nice and cozy space. The semi-private dining room has glass walls on each end and mountain views on both sides. The food is amazing. I've tried several of their dishes (research for our event!) and been impressed each time, and only heard positive feedback on the food following the client dinner. The manager, Laura, was at the reception entrance so I was able to meet her as soon as I arrived. She was available to answer any questions and take requests for changes to our pre-order quantities on-the-spot. I had expected to meet her at the start of the reception, but I was really pleasantly surprised that she was available throughout our event and very involved in making sure we had everything we needed. She knew which table has our VIP guests, and I'm confident she made sure they received good service. Small detail, but important for group meals--the bill was correct. Hearth '61 doesn't feel like a hotel restaurant--the Mountain Shadows property has a golf course, residences, a resort, large grassy lawns; the lounge, bar and restaurant feel like their own space on a beautiful property, not an add-on to a hotel. This is a beautiful venue and a high-quality dining experience. I will be back, and recommend it for events! read more

A beautiful setting, fabulous chef, great service and most of all great attention to detail in taking care of the customer. We held a small dinner in the private corner of the dining room recently and it was superb in every way. Highly recommended for breakfast, lunch or dinner! DVC read more

Food was not balanced at all and is very expensive. Massive pork chop was good, but almost nothing else on the plate to accompany it. Short rib agnolotti had decent flavor but was drowning in Demi glaze. Way to strong ! Service was ok. There are To many other really good Options close by. read more

I went to Hearth 61 in March of this year, which is the high tourist season in the Valley of The Sun! I went to Hearth 61 with friends because the resort is new and we wanted to see the new resort and new houses. The resort setting is lovely with spectacular views of Camelback Mountain. Unfortunately the setting and the views did not compensate for the poor experience at the restaurant. We were seated outside at a dirty table with food left on the chairs. We got the table cleaned and then we waited and waited for someone to show up with menus and water. The waiter finally brought bread but we had to ask for napkins and silverware which seemed to be an irritant to the wait staff. We finally got our food after a long wait. One friend had a salad that appeared to have no dressing, tired lettuce and she had to hunt for the chicken that was supposed to be on the salad. I had a sandwich which appeared to be made ahead of time and was tired, but okay.No one ever came to see if we needed anything or followed up. Hearth 61 is supposed to be an upscale place to eat but I was very disappointed in the service, quality and price. As a result I will not go back or recommend it to friends. read more

We the Lamb last night with the Burrata salad that tasted smokey it was heaven....then this morning the Charred Eggplant & Ancient Grains killed it! The grains were huge and the sauce they have in it truly makes the dish. Night or day I'm coming back for that...the Ceviche was amazingly yummy and fresh. read more

We had a GREAT experience. After touring this amazing, new hotel property, The Mountain Shadows, we continued the fun for dinner at their restaurant. Even though this is a five star restaurant, it is comfortably casual. All the staff we're welcoming and professional. All five of us were hospitality professionals. The open kitchen concept was a perfect way to sneak a peak at menu items in different stages of creation. Because the branzino looked so good while the chef was preparing it, two of us ordered it. It was delicious! Everyone loved their selections, especially the beef tenderloin. I would go to this restaurant just for the amazing views alone. The perfectly prepared cuisine made it a great experience. read more

Hearth 61 - New American Near Me - Paradise Valley, Arizona

We visited Hearth 61 at the new Mountain Shadows of the first time on Sunday evening with friends. We sat at a "common table" since there were four of us and we wanted to be able to visit with one another. What we didn't know was that the door to the pool area was just at the end of our table. People were coming and going through that door, some with only a swim suit on, during the entire time we were there. It also seems that some of the staff is not well trained. Our table had debris on it, and even after greeting us and bringing us water, our wait person did not wipe it down or seem to notice. We finally asked if they would kindly bring a towel and wipe it down before our friends arrived. We ordered the American Charcuterie board which was quite pricey, but very sparsely populated. Unfortunately I don't think this will be a place we'll be frequenting. read more

Maybe we had an odd experience, but we were pretty disappointed in the food and service. We went for an early dinner at 6:00 on a Friday and asked to sit on the patio. It wasn't crowded but we were seated at a table with a post between two seats; the server introduced himself and disappeared for at least 10 minutes before coming back for drink and food order. It's restaurant week, so we ordered off the prix fix menu. the beet and apple salad with goat cheese was good; cauliflour soup was also pretty good. the entrees were strip steak and trout; the trout desperately needed lemon and more sauce. we had to flag down the waiter to ask, but five minutes later the fish was chillin and still no lemon. We went to the bar to get some and the waiter never did remember. The dessert was some kind of panna cotta with caramel. It was good, but not great. we arrived hunger but didn't even eat all the food on our plates. the food was not bad; it just did not live up to the other reviews or our expectations. I know restaurants are struggling for good staff, and I'm sure our server could be better. but I don't like to pay top dollar for dry fish and have to wait for seasoning; or only one dessert optoin that was just "meh" in my opinion read more

Fantastic Filet with great flavor prepared perfectly! Very cool hotel and was impressed with everything!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the hotel that the restaurant is in, Mountain Shadows Resort. We got drinks, appetizers and dinner at this restaurant and the food was AMAZING. Our bartender, Travis was very friendly and knowledgeable and crafted some incredible cocktails. He made us drinks that weren't on the menu. We hope to come back to this restaurant and hotel soon! read more

Wow, went for restaurant week and our meals were amazing! Great atmosphere and view as well, we will be back to try the burger!

Service and quality are outstanding! We stayed at Mountain Shadows for a staycation and decided to try Hearth '61 for dinner. I am so happy we did! Our waitress was friendly and knowledgeable, helping with wine recommendations. We ended up going with a glass of rosé and a glass of Malbec and both were exactly what we were looking for. The food was so delicious - we started with the heirloom tomato salad to split, I ordered the filet and my boyfriend ordered the scallops for our entrees, and we ended on the apple tart. Every bite was memorable and we cannot wait to try more dishes! read more

I have been to Hearth '61 twice with my 3 year old daughter in tow. Not only is the hostess delightful, my daughter is always doted upon by the assistants and management. Both times we have been privileged to have Erika as our server. She is so friendly and super knowledgeable about the menu. Always recommending a different dish she has come to enjoy herself, that I end up loving myself! If you're staying at Mountain Shadows or are a local out for a special breakfast I encourage you to dine at Hearth '61 and request Erika as your server! read more

I take it all back, Hearth '61 totally redeemed themselves. Management had reached out to me after our brunch experience and invited me and my husband to return for dinner to give them a second chance. From start to finish it was fabulous. We chose the duck confit for our appetizer per our server's recommendation, it was tender, the sauce was flavorful and the buttered Noble bread completed the dish. We were also given complimentary warmed Noble bread with a nice basil pesto and an amuse bouche of stuffed squash blossoms. For our entrees we chose the brown butter roasted Branzino, beef tenderloin and sides of the ancient grain risotto and broccoli. Both were cooked perfectly and were large in portion. The tenderloin melted in your mouth and puts a lot of the other steak restaurants to shame and the Branzino was flaky and buttery. We also really enjoyed the sides, the risotto was rich and creamy and stayed warm in a Cassoulet serving dish, the ancient grains gave it some nice texture, and the broccoli had a flavorful shallot parmesan sauce. For dessert I took a risk and ordered the bread pudding (which I'm not typically and fan of) and then also went for a safe bet with the molten lava cake. The bread pudding changed my mind about bread pudding, it had a delicious whiskey caramel sauce with brown butter ice cream and wasn't dry at all like other bread puddings I've had. The molten lava cake was awesome too, it was served with a black cherry ice cream and luxardo cherries which was a perfect combo. Service was on point the whole time, very attentive and our server made some great recommendations and was very knowledgeable about the food. It was overall a great evening and dining experience, and that tenderloin was seriously one of the best steaks I've had. I will definitely return! read more

Food quality was great as was the outdoor ambiance and social distancing measures in place. What was off putting was that we had a lovely waitress and around 10 pm another waitress abruptly asked us if we were having dessert? No? Ok let me get the check. In the most condescending and rushed way. There was another group of people dining and even if they were closing it would have been nice to say hey we close soon FYI but I'm not sure this was the case. My husband asked the new waitress what her name was to ensure we tipped the right person and immediately after this interaction, the waitress's tone changed to "have a GREAT evening". Funny how that works. read more
