| - 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!
