I just made my first visit to Hearth '61. Because of the construction going on at the Mountain Shadows resort, it's a bit difficult to find the entrance. That said, once I did find it, the valet was exceptionally friendly and I found my way right in for lunch.
The interior decor is beautiful and modern and the views of Camelback Mountain are stunning. My friend, who I was dining with, had been there before and suggested the ahi tuna salad. She ordered a chopped salad. Our service was terrific and they clearly cared that we were having an enjoyable time. We were one of only two tables there at lunchtime but that is probably due to the newness and the construction.
My ahi salad itself was a bit disappointing. The tuna was fresh and plentiful and it was served on a bed of Napa cabbage with cashews - the description made it sound like a good combination. The problem was the green goopy dressing that was everywhere! My salad was literally lathered in it. It didn't have a lot of flavor, sort of seemed like green mayonnaise and it really spoiled what would've otherwise been a terrific salad.
I will definitely go back and try again and would love to see what they do for happy hour. I just won't order that salad again.
