    Cozy fireplace!

    The Hearth has my heart! For the past ten years, The Hearth has been a family-owned catering business. Just two months ago, they opened their first restaurant. We went on a Friday night during the busiest time, with a full dining room and lots of activity. Usually, when a restaurant is that busy, either the food or the service suffers. That wasn't the case here. Even with constant table changes and a busy staff, both the kitchen and the servers kept everything running smoothly. The whole experience felt thoughtful and genuinely welcoming, making us forget how busy it was. As soon as we walked in, the hostess greeted us warmly. She seated us, told us a little about The Hearth's story, explained the menu, and pointed out the specials. The space feels lively and comfortable. It's big enough for solo diners, date nights, or groups, but it never feels too empty or too hectic. Artisan-style pizza is the main attraction, but the menu offers much more. You'll find charcuterie boards, pastas, soups, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. There's also a Creation of the Month, weekday lunch specials, happy hour, monthly features, and game-day options. There are plenty of reasons to come back. We started with meaty buffalo wings and, to my delight, all drumsticks. The spice was mild, the chicken was juicy, and they didn't last long. I also tried the sourdough cheese bomb, which had a great cheese pull. The bread was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the balsamic drizzle added a nice tangy touch. For mains, we shared two 14" specialty pizzas. First up: The Hot Clutter, The Hearth's take on a buffalo chicken pizza. Built on a creamy white sauce and mozzarella blend, it's topped with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, crunchy fried onions, blue cheese crumbles, and finished with a drizzle of original buffalo sauce. This was a table favorite -- bold but not overwhelming, rich yet controlled, with layers of heat and creaminess that worked together rather than competing. We also tried the Margherita pizza, topped with fresh basil, sangria tomatoes, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. While simpler in composition, it was anything but basic. The small tomatoes delivered bursts of juiciness without compromising the integrity of the slice -- no soggy situations here. If you're someone who tends to skip Margherita pizzas in favor of something flashier, this one might change your mind. The pizza crust deserves special mention. It's light, airy, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the difference when the dough is handled well, and it shows in every bite of these pies. Even with unfinished slices still on the table, we made the wise decision to save room for dessert -- and I'm glad we did. Enter: The Cookie Lucy. Inspired by Minnesota's famous Juicy Lucy, this dessert is unique to The Hearth and was a real highlight. It's a chocolate chip cookie filled with cream cheese, baked in a small griddle, topped with homemade vanilla ice cream, and finished with a cranberry drizzle. The warm cookie and ice cream are a great combination, but the best part is the cream cheese filling. It keeps its texture and flavor without melting into the cookie. You really have to try this dessert to understand how good it is. The service was attentive and thoughtful the whole time, which was impressive considering how busy it was. Our server checked on us often, brought our food out hot, and clearly cared about our experience. The owner also stopped by to introduce himself, share some of their story, and talk about joining the community. It felt like a genuine, personal touch. By the end of the night, we were full, impressed, and already planning what to try next time. The Hearth offers excellent value, consistent quality, and genuine hospitality. It's definitely worth visiting more than once.

    Can you guys tell I've been eating super healthy lately? after seeing endless Yelp reviews pop up basically in my backyard, we finally took a family trip to @thehearth_ep with all the nieces and nephews. the owner and management team were so friendly when we arrived and made sure our big crew had the perfect table. the menu hits all your classic bar-food favs, but with a little elevation thanks to their wood-fired pizza oven. my parents are notoriously hard to impress (especially in EP)... and even they were already planning their next visit. for food, the kids got their usual smorgasbord, and the adults went with the hot clucker (not that hot, but really good), a BYO pizza, and the Jamaican jerk dry rub wings. overall, the environment was great, the food was above average, prices fair, and portions generous. I'd definitely go back for casual bites! this is such a strong start for this new spot, and I hope they keep building momentum. only tiny notes: cocktails could use a little refining-- especially the espresso martini, and seriously... can we get some banana peppers as a topping option on the menu? PLEASE!!

    Tried the new restaurant, The Hearth, in Eden Prairie, and left..... very thrilled to have a delicious new restaurant in our neighborhood. This location has struggled, we've seen 3 restaurants come and go, and all we have wished for was a great restaurant to come and stay, and we believe the Hearth has cracked the code We ordered a pizza and the Italian beef sandwich. The home made crust of the pizza was incredible, baked in a wood fired oven and cooked to perfection. Meanwhile the Italian beef sandwich had wonderfully tender meat that melted in your mouth. We sat at the bar, and the bartender mentioned this is the busiest it has ever been and so they were understaffed and so service was a bit slow, yet the bartender was still attentive. Overall I would tell anyone In the area that it's worth stopping by to support this local business

    Clean and vibrant kitchen. They know what they are doing.

    Great food, ambiance, and service! Try the artichoke dip, & the spicy sausage penne or mac-n-cheese if you want to be blown away!

    My husband and I made a reservation for the Thursday "date night " special, which was listed as $60…read morefor two salads, an appetizer or dessert, two pasta dishes, and a bottle of wine. We were seated quickly at 6pm. The food was good! We opted for the beet bruschetta appetizer in lieu of dessert. I thought the sweetness of the honey ricotta played well against the earthiness of the beats. And the ciabatta bread was chewy and flavorful. The wedge Caesar was good, I loved the homemade croutons. A little heavy on the dressing, but you could tell it was homemade and had great flavor from the anchovy- a solid Caesar dressing. My husband got the seafood pasta, and I got the spaghetti and meatballs. He loved his, and I loved the bold flavor of the house made red pasta sauce. The meatballs were big and well seasoned. My only critique, and perhaps this is unfair, but the pasta was clearly not homemade and I wished it was. The only hiccup is that the date night was advertised as coming with a bottle of wine, and we were charged $20 for the bottle we got. It was explained to me that they had said in the beginning that the wine was "a $20 mystery bottle" meaning we couldn't choose it. I interpreted this to me that the free bottle of wine that was advertised as part of the date night was valued at $20. I explained this felt like a little bit of a trick and the charge was removed from our bill without any fuss. That was much appreciated. Because of how that was handled, we will definitely return! Overall, it was a pleasant evening, and I enjoyed myself. Stand out was the bruschetta for sure. Server was friendly and cheerful and didn't rush us.

The pasta alla Rosa was just okay. The bucatini was al dente but the sauce did not have enough cream/umami richness. It was quite on the watery side and didn't coat the noodles well
