Very good food, everything was excellent. My wife and I were looking for a cozy place to go out to eat, like on a date night. We loved it. They're very polite. And we found out they're open at lunch too, we'll have to try that.
The food is always consistently well prepared. I almost ate all of my quiche before I remembered to post! Highly recommend the smoked blue cheese dressing on your salad and the sun dried tomato basil quiche. I make it a point of being my mom every time I visit Peoria.
Absolute best restaurant in Peoria hands down! And There menu is amazing! And they have a great wine list! Try the lion tamer red blend and pair it with the lamb chops you will love it!
Date night at Hearth NEVER disappoints! Hands down the best food and service you will find in Peoria! We had the grilled octopus and the char grilled oysters for starters….both were incredible! For dinner, I had the Lacquered salmon with pomegranate balsamic glaze, dauphinoise potatoes and green beans & my husband had the New York Strip with whiskey peppercorn sauce, sautéed mushrooms. All was melt in your mouth delicious! We give Hearth ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+
Excellent as always. Great food, cocktails and service. Make sure to make a reservation as they get very busy. The duck and lamb chop dinners are very good. All their desserts are homemade and very good. Huge selection of whisky. Also great for lunch.
Been here several times. Great food, the cheese and charcuterie board is pretty incredible and the food has always been good. My fiancee likes Hearth’s steak a lot - some other restaurants at the same price point that we’ve been to have served us undercooked steaks, have had too much char on their grill grate, or have had other issues occur. I removed one star from Service because I’ve seen waitstaff be less than polite to guests a couple times but in general, the place is great and I’ve always enjoyed it there.
1st impression as walking in the door was wow, this place is really nice. The decor is very inviting. If your looking to enjoy a drink the bar is just amazingly beautiful. We were seated in one of the dining rooms. Being a photographer myself I really enjoyed the varieties of photos displayed here. As a note we arrived just before they were getting ready to close to prepare for the nights dinner. We were assured we had plenty of time to enjoy lunch. So we placed our order. We learned everything is made from scratch daily using quality ingredients. Now I'm really impressed 👏, a restaurant that cares. While waiting on the food I walked around looking at photos, an employee/manager or even owner, I'm not sure explained some of the photos and how the photographer achieved the look in each picture. Thanks for the tour and info, I enjoyed it. Lunch arrives and it looks amazing. Everything was delicious 😋 and all 3 of us enjoyed ourselves and the excellent food. It was so good. You've gained new customers, we agreed its worth the 1 1/2 hour drive to return. Dinner menu has so many options which appeals to us. See you soon. Best place in Peoria!!!
Finally, a place where you can get a variety of higher-end food, great service, and feel like it's a place worthy of dressing up for. I haven't been to a restaurant like this since I left Chicago. A great place to take a special someone or to have a nice anniversary dinner. It happened to be my birthday, and my daughters picked it out. I will return!
Went out to celebrate a birthday and this place was phenomenal! Was our first time there but already have planned to return. Salmon was cooked to perfection. New york strip with peppercorn sauce 10/10. My husband (the picky eater) can't stop talking about it. Jambalaya looked delicious and was the first empty plate at the table. Duck wasn't a favorite, but I don't think was any fault of the chef. The dining room and bar were both busy and the service was still great!
