I was dragged to Hearth by a friend of mine who wanted to have an app and a drink at their ""bar by the kitchen"". I had heard of Hearth before as being a top restaurant in New York so I was intrigued to say the least. We sat down and the bar was literally looking over the kitchen. As a foodie and wannabee Thomas Keller, I was simply in heaven! Our waiter couldn't have been more accomadating and all the Chefs were willing to pause to explain to us what they were intricately preparing. Though I promised to only order an app, a three course meal was in the works. The wine list was incredible-- we settled on a fruity Austrian white. Chef Jordan et all were so helpful and intuitive that we felt like we were cooking the meals ourselves. I have dined at incredible restaurants in New York (per se, etc.) and have never had such an exciting and exuberant dining experience. The food was to die for as well.
Pros: snapper, duck, blueberry tart, service, etc
