I ordered the braised short rib to go for a celebration dinner. This was described as coming with butternut squash, roasted turnip, honey poached cranberries and rosemary jus. The short rib was moist and delicious, even after being reheated with the jus in a covered glass dish once home. However, the butternut squash was largely lacking as truly there was no more than one tablespoon of it total. From a photo posted in another review, it looked like there was at least enough for several fork fulls, tho sadly not mine. For some reason, the take out container didn't fit flat in the bag, hence the way it looks in the photo. So I did waver between 3 & 4 stars, but the short rib flavor and moistness took it over the top. And also any restaurant practicing safe social distancing to help keep patrons safe earns an extra star - which made up for the lacking butternut squash and sideways takeout container. read more

Disappointing Experience on Valentine's Night I had high hopes for this restaurant, but our experience was nothing short of frustrating. Despite having a reservation, we were seated 15 minutes late, while couples without reservations were given tables before us. When we were finally seated, it was at a large table for six, which completely ruined the intimate Valentine's dinner we had planned. To make matters worse, the hostess later asked if we would share our table with other guests. I politely declined, as we specifically wanted a private dinner. From that point on, it felt like we were being punished. Our food took over an hour to arrive, while other tables that were seated after us were served much faster--even though they ordered from the same Valentine's menu. When I asked the waiter if our order had been lost, he claimed the kitchen was backed up, but that excuse didn't hold up considering what we were seeing around us. By the time our food finally arrived, we were already frustrated--and to top it off, it wasn't even worth the wait. Mediocre food and terrible service. We won't be coming back. read more

The sister and I came here for my birthday brunch and we had a great time! The place is located in a hotel, but it doesn't feel like it's inside a hotel. Candice, our server was great and very kind. We ordered mimosas to start with and after they were brought out, Candice offered it as a free mimosa for my birthday- a thoughtful surprise! The food was delicious. Overall, I'd come back for more. Happy eating! read more

Decent food, terribly slow service. Won't be back. Staying at The Heathman Hotel for a weekend staycation and had dinner reservations for Saturday evening. I waited about 15 minutes for water once I was seated at my table. Since I had enough time to peruse the menu by then I also placed my order then. I ordered an app and entree. The app came out 20 minutes later and the entree came out 30 minutes after that. I am not exaggerating. Everything was painfully slow. The food was okay. I asked what the catch of the day was and the answer was Alfredo pasta with bacon wrapped prawns. Huh? In what world is the catch not... fish? That was very strange to me. I wasn't in the mood for pizza or burgers which dominate the dinner menu so I opted for steak. The steak was fine - well seasoned and cooked as I specified so that was good. It came with arugula and sweet potato fries. Everything was fine but nothing blew my mind. Overall, I personally won't be back. The ambiance was nice, the hotel that's attached to this restaurant is fabulous but the service is underwhelming and the food is not worth the price. read more

We wandered over to Hearth at the Heathman on a whim. I'm generally not a fan of hotel restaurants unless I've already read about them (ex. Ben Paris in downtown Seattle). I find most are overpriced and disappoint. Hearth, on the other hand, was wonderful. Their outdoor space is covered and well heated (I actually would've preferred a bit more circulation bc Covid). But the tables are spaced out and we were plenty warm. It's a super comfortable area and we were seated promptly for Sunday brunch. My friend got the chicken and biscuits, which was stunningly presented and comes with gravy and a fried egg. I opted for the mushroom farm egg skillet, which was a perfect mix of veggies served in a small cast iron pot. There were gorgeous hen of the woods and tiny artisanal mushrooms, plus Mama Lil's peppers and goat cheese and potatoes. I opted for two fried eggs on top instead of the scramble, and they were perfectly over medium -- not too hard, and just a little bit of ooze when poked. The side salad and fresh toast were a total bonus. Service was prompt and attentive. I wish the coffee were a little hotter and fresher, but we strolled in close to 2 pm on a Sunday. Totally excusable -- plus we loved everything else! Brunch came out to just over $30 for each of us, including tax and tip. Looking forward to returning! read more

Went here for Thanksgiving dinner yesterday. The experience was pleasant enough, but not remarkable. The food was good, but not $80 level, the staff was quite pleasant, but service was very slow once our order was taken. Not sure why, as a limited menu makes it easy for the kitchen, and the restaurant didn't feel all that busy. As I said before, a pleasant enough experience in a great location. read more

Picked up our Thanksgiving meal at Hearth today. Every single person was kind and quick to answer questions. And I got to chat with Donald, executive chef?, who checked our order and even gave us an additional order of short ribs. As far as the food, every single dish was excellent, particularly the short ribs! I had my 3 sons home from college, and my parents. Every person was completely impressed with the meal and there was enough food for leftovers. Can't thank the staff enough for working on this holiday and making our meal so special! Well done!! read more

Found my new favorite brunch spot! The bananas foster French toast was amazing, and the bacon was crispy. The potatoes that come with the eggs Benedict I'd eat 100x more. They're perfectly salty and crispy. I also love that you can get mimosas with different juices. The outside eating area is fully enclosed with heaters, so with a jacket I was fine! Took a star off for service. The food took almost an hour to arrive.. and when the food runners dropped it I ordered another mimosa, which never arrived. So for that I remove a star. I'd love to come back on a nicer day, it was raining, and also maybe for dinner! read more

If you're looking for outdoor seating this fall and this winter, Hearth is a great option. The patio is fully covered and has heat--not just heat lamps but actual pumped-in heat from vents in the ceiling. I was perfectly comfortable on a cool and windy evening without my jacket on. Food is pretty good. We had Brussels sprouts for an appetizer and each got a pizza. I had two lovely martinis as well. Service was quick and friendly too! read more

We had a reservation, and yet we waited for over 20 minutes for a server to come over and get drinks started. I had to track a waiter down, who was kind enough to eventually take over service for our table of two. The drinks took over 10 minutes to arrive, and dinner took over 40. We had to flag down the waiter the three times we spoke with him. We nearly missed the show we were going to see. The food was excellent, but the inattentive service will prevent us from returning. We had a similar experience a handful of years ago, but I assumed that had been an off night and/or it was the impact of staffing shortages. Really disappointed that nothing has changed read more

Hearth isn't exactly new anymore, but I'm so glad to see this place in Kirkland. What a solid option for happy hour! They've got a mid-day HH from 3-6, and a night time one as well from 9 - close. I especially like the patio here. It's covered, you can do people watching, AND it's heated so it's open year round. Freakin' score. They've got giant Connect 4 and giant Jenga in case you need some added entertainment. Service here is fantastic. Conrad specifically stood out to me. He's so down-to-Earth, and just downright sweet! You can tell he really likes working with people and really aims to make sure everybody is happy and taken care of. He made us feel like we were the only people in the place. Give this man a raise, pronto! On to the good stuff - food and draaaanks. We're not really huge into cocktails. You can find us skimming the beer & wine deals nine times out of ten. They got us with their amazing PBR deal - a tall boy for $3. Oh hell yeah! We tried the Mini Hearth Burger and mannn, it was good. It's $5 which could almost be considered a steal because it tastes so delicious. The patty is juicy and full of flavor, but the charred onion relish, smoked gouda, and garlic aioli just take you on an explosion of flavor. THEY'RE SO GOOD. Definitely recommend for happy hour if you're in the area. I'd love to get back sometime soon and try a full lunch or dinner! read more

Really nice food and service. This is close to public parking. The quantity is also good in size. Must go.

Best brunch I've had in the Seattle area. The ambience and service were fantastic, but the quality of the food was what really made it a 5-star experience. The potatoes were ridiculously good read more

Really surprisingly solid dinner option in Kirkland. We've been here twice. The first time was for brunch and it was fine. Brunch is brunch. We came again for dinner recently and was impressed. The Brussels sprouts were crispy. The crab cakes and roast chicken were great. The Mac and cheese was awesome. The kids cheeseburger was a little dry and over cooked but the fries were solid. Service was great. Really solid option for your typical American food. The other reviews lead me to think maybe the output is not consistent. Nothing about this warrants 2 stars imo. read more

Food is ok. I ordered the black and bleu petite salad, dressing and bleu cheese on the side. My salad was tossed in the dressing and the bleu cheese was sprinkled all over. I ate most of it (after moving all cheese) but there was SO much rosemary it was very overpowering. And yes, why bother ordering a bleu cheese salad if you don't like bleu cheese...because everything else sounded so good (steak, dried cherries, pickled onions)....pickled onions weren't very pickled, I wouldn't get it again. I also got a side of potatoes and that was good, crispy bits with soft pillowy centers. Service was ok, friendly but we waited awhile till our order was taken. Overall, wouldn't come back. read more

A couple weeks ago on a Sunday morning I stumbled upon the hearth . I was looking for a restaurant to make my crew on short notice. There were 5 of us. First thing my whole crew noticed was a younger male waiter complaining about his customers so I was not expecting much. To my pleasure a waitress named Candice greeted us with a warm welcome and within a minute had us laughing and helping us with the menu. Food came fairly quickly and I had the eggs Benedict and was very good. Someone else had waffles and they were happy as well. Our server completely changed my first impression of this restaurant. Under the circumstances I would highly recommend this cool restaurant. Mitch read more

Oh no! What happened to your delicious pizza? I ordered one tonight after about a year and found it had completely changed. What happened to that fabulous peperoni? This was like Hormel...sauce was simply a very bland tomato sauce. At $26.00 for a 12" pizza it was no better than Zeeks...what a shame. Why did you decide the most perfect pizza needed a downgrade, while keeping the same price? Wont order another unless its changed back :-( read more

Not a bad place to eat, but the food was bland and expensive. Service was okay, we probably won't be here again I ordered the Mac and cheese in which there was barely any breading or flavoring at all. The pizza wasn't bad, but all I could taste was the sauce and the burnt bottom. Nothing else. Service was okay, we only needed a couple extra minutes to look over the menu but the waiter didn't check back for 5-10min Also, the menu has very limited options. Not a lot of variety. Including tip it was about $60 for two people. Not worth it. read more

Even though I had to wait for more than 15 mins for my table (despite reserving it beforehand), I can't take a star off of this review. We had the frose (it was so yum I still have dreams!) and a prawn appetizer with a fennel sausage pizza. The food was great too! Wanted to stuff in some dessert but couldn't try it this time. Will be back for more! read more

We were staying at the Heathman Hotel and decided to try the Hearth's brunch. Both my husband and I ordered the breakfast burrito and they were delicious. The coffee was strong and fresh. The service was great. We may be back tomorrow morning... it was that good. All of the ingredients were fresh and delicious. read more

I visited Hearth as part of a Yelp Elite Event. I have eaten at Trellis (this location's predecessor) several times and was looking forward to this introduction. Overall, I'm very pleased with the new restaurant, a bit more casual and relaxed. I would like to see more veggie and/or seafood items added to the menu in the future. All the cooked foods were delicious. At the event, we were offered small bites of items on their regular menu and their rotating menu. Officially, the menu is unique daily, though items like their flatbreads are regular. My favorite bites: - A melt-in-your-mouth crab bite (see photo). The cheese is a bit heavy but I taste the crab anyway. - The Duck flatbread with the unique apricot spread (see photo) - The Forage flatbread (no photo) with its potent mushroom flavors - A Pork Belly Bacon (no photo) with an apple butter topping that was a surprising combination and completely tasty - A Bison Meatball, which is served as a meatloaf in their regular menu, done with wild mushrooms, spring peas, and carrot reduction Honestly, you can't go wrong with any of the dinner dishes I sampled. The only item that was below bar is the stone fruit dessert that didn't have much flavors. Possibly the fruits weren't ripe enough; typically cooking fruit draws out the sweetness spectacularly but not this time. Doesn't matter to me though; there is plenty to enjoy. I was stuffed! Definitely splurge on a drink. They source some unique mixes. Because I'm non-alcoholic, the GM made a mocktail with non-alcoholic bitters that was pretty and tasty. The staff was attentive. Conrad, one of the servers, was particularly helpful explaining the details of the dishes. They have a happy hour. I would score the flatbreads then at a small discount. read more

Very understaffed. We won't be coming back. Had a reservation for 12 pm. Waited 30 minutes to be seated after we were told 15-20 mins (to wait on a reserved in advance table). Everyone looked very stressed. Nobody took our order for another 20 minutes. Then it took over 20 minutes to get our food, and the drinks came in half way through the meal. Two stars for the folks working in such demanding conditions and for the food, which was good. The staff are nice and friendly, but it is not fair to neither the employees nor the customers to be put into such stressful working conditions with so little staff. We would have appreciated heads up before coming out that the wait would be a full hour past our reserved time, we would have gladly made alternative arrangements for brunch. read more

Went for brunch 2 weekends in a row, best brunch I've had in years! They have a new menu and I got to try 7 of the offerings over the 2 weeks. Everything is super fresh, high quality, and obviously crafted with skill, imagination and care. The pancakes with rhubarb compote and hibiscus butter were insanely good, cakelike and dense without being too heavy. The apricot mascarpone waffle is to die for, and the spring omelette is a standout! Everything was prepared perfectly. Service was on point and our server gave great recommendations. Definitely going back! Highly, highly recommend. read more

Hearth was a massive disappointment. Over priced, under seasoned food is the short version of this review. The wait staff were very friendly which saved this from being a 1-star rating. The chef perhaps is pathologically allergic to salt and or any other seasonings. My wife ordered the frittata which was supposed to have Beecher's cheese and foraged mushrooms. Both were likely buried in the hammered egg pile served in a cast iron skillet...however the overcooked eggs had absolutely no seasoning. What chef does not cook mushrooms with salt, garlic, onion, thyme, etc? If the frittata was supposed to be a play on cardboard, then well done - nailed it! I ordered the burrata toast which spoke to me because the description included extra virgin olive oil powder, a technique typically accomplished by using tapioca multi dextrin to transform the oil into a powder. The EVOO powder was the best thing on the plate. The bread was not toasted, the arugula not chopped to make it easier to eat. The tomato jam was clunky and under seasoned. The final cherry on this disappointing cake was that the salt and pepper shakers were reversed as to their contents...details, where is the attention to detail? read more

We were seated right away which was nice. But service was extremely slow. It was us and two other tables, on a Monday around 10:30am. The other two tables were already eating. We ordered drinks first. It took more than 15 minutes just to get our drinks. Then probably another 5 minutes before she came back to take our order. The frittata was not a frittata, it was scrambled eggs with veggies. It did not have that velvety custard like texture that makes a frittata a frittata. My Parmesan potatoes were cold when I got them. Like cold cold, not like warm. The amount of money you pay for this food it should be way better. I don't recommend this place. read more

This restaurant was great! From the Kraken martini all the way through dessert it was special. The roasted carrots were incredible. The service was great, friendly, knowledgeable, wait staff. read more

TDLR: the beer can chicken is juicy! This place is connected to the lobby of a hotel. Street parking. The decor is pretty minimal but I do have to applaud their alternating cup colors at each table. It's a great way to tell which cup is yours or not. Clever. The salt jar is pretty neat too. Paper menu with some descriptions. They don't have a whole lot since each thing is made to order. Service: wait to be seated, order at the table, you will water yourself with a nifty glass carton, your leftovers will be boxed for you, check brought to you. Maria's Beer Can Chicken: a meal for two, very filling and the chicken is very tender and juicy. The potatoes, onions, and dates compliment it nicely. Stone Fruit Short Bread: yum! I love the short bread chunks. Made to order and takes 30 minutes. read more

I love this place. I stayed at the Heathman Kirkland for work and it was an unexpected surprise how good the food was! The mushroom sausage pizza and garden salad (pizza oven in the lobby) were honestly the best. Multiple types of mushrooms, including hen of the woods. I am a New Yorker and told the staff I like their pizza better. Delicious. read more

This place is adorable and what brought me and my friends in is the ease of making a reservation and also the fact that they have weekday brunch! I ordered the avocado toast and requested smoked salmon on top, I love that they were happy to accommodate! It was delicious! I also ordered the spiced Bloody Mary with their horseradish infused vodka. I don't typically drink liquor, but this sounded good and I was right - it was delicious! It was not too spicy either in case you're a wimp like me - I could handle it so I think anyone could. The flavors were so good. I forgot to take photos, but the presentation was also beautiful. The service was so friendly, but it was a little slow. It really seemed like it was a 1 man show today, perhaps that was the case. It seems like our server was waiting tables, making drinks, cashing people out, and also cooking.... I could be wrong but that man was working hard. The 1 star off is because Hearth needs to get that man some other servers or a bartender to help. I would totally return to eat here again, especially since despite running around doing a 4-man job, our server was fantastic and friendly the whole time - 5 stars to him!! read more

The restaurant is under ownership again! In terms of covid this place is amazing! Even when it is cold they have vast amounts of outdoor heaters that keeps their patio warm. They have lots of space in between each seat inside. The menu is a bit more simple... also a bit less expensive. I got the farmers breakfast plate. Every piece was super yummy, it was just deconstructed and I personally don't think I did a great job at reconstructing it. I'll be back. I'll probably get something else. The normal breakfast and the chicken sandwich looked amazing! read more

I enjoyed a wonderful brunch today at Hearth. The Eggs Benedict had perfectly poached eggs and the potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

Uptight and no reason to be. Food was "ok" but we had to send our steaks back because they were not cooked correctly. Our server was the only positive to this experience, he was helpful and understanding. Maybe if they focused on foods people want and how to do them well, it would be a much needed improvement? As it was, the menu was limited and not appetizing, especially after a long day of travel. read more

I feel that even in the face of the pandemic that these guys don't get it. The hostess and waitresses act as if it's a burden to serve you. I would think it would be the opposite as people come in to dine. Slow service and bad attitudes seem to be their go to disposition. The only bright spot is Victor behind the bar. He makes a great martini and you'll need many to put up with the attitude of the dining room staff. read more

Amazing Brunch! We have dined here for brunch a few times. What a hidden gem! The food is delicious and the portions are huge. Great $ value. The shrimp and grits have just enough spice and the burrata toast is A++. Make sure to add avocado. Candace is a wonderful, attentive to service, and always anticipating your next need, if any. She truly loves her job! Chris, the manager, came over to make certain everything was to our expectations. We will be back and can't wait! read more

The Hearth - so happy with our outside dining there! For many reasons, I've opted for outside dining the last couple of years. As you can well imagine, that is quite the challenge in the PNW. I've got some surgery coming up so I'm being extra vigilant right now. I called the Hearth in downtown Kirkland yesterday to make Sunday brunch reservations and explained we wanted to eat outside. They were LOVELY. We got there and were positioned under an infrared heater, with propane heaters at either end of the table. (There were 5 of us) and they had blankets too, if we had wanted them. THEY HAD TURNED THE HEATERS ON EARLY TO WARM OUR SPOT! As it was, we were all perfectly comfortable just in our sweaters. It was bliss And the food was fabulous. The best I've had in a long time. We all had different choices- beignets, egg scrambles, omelets, the BEST Eggs Benedict. The service was considerate and friendly, with no forgotten items or delays. If you prefer eating outside but find it hard to do around here (which is to be expected) check out their website and their menu. I'm very happy to have found a place we can depend on when it's time for a family gathering. If I sound over enthusiastic, please forgive me. In three years it's the first time I've found warmth, excellent food, and friendly service all in one place. I'm hoping to put the word out so they continue to offer this lovely option. read more

Wandered for a quick Sunday brunch and got seated inside immediately. They asked for vaccine cards and followed protocol which was a plus. We got the mushroom skillet and denver omelette which were both good. If you are a fan of mushrooms, I highly recommend the skillet. We also got a side of fries but the fries were alright nothing special. It was a relaxing ambiance and very good for a restaurant in a hotel. Parking is usually easy to find and it is a nice stroll during a sunny day. Recommend the place if you want a brunch in east side without heavy traffic! read more

My friends just went to this restaurant a month ago and texted pics and a rave reivew. My dad and I went last wednesday and we did not get the same food or service.

Roasted carrots tastey. Brown Betty yummy and sweet. read more

A great brunch spot in downtown Kirkland. I'd recommend making a reservation since the space is shared with the hotel guests coming to eat their breakfast as well. I tried the fried chicken biscuit. The biscuit was so buttery and moist. The chicken was crispy and juicy and the fried egg's yolk perfectly runny. The menu was pretty expansive so you could find whatever you'd like, sweet or savory. read more
