Hart's

It’s a small space, but very welcoming. The food was very good and I wish I had more of it! I recommend this place for brunch and enjoyed their gravlax toast.

Intimate, neighborhood spot that has feel good vibes as soon as you step in. Everything we tried felt fresh and delicious. Highlights were the clam toast and the lamb burger with anchovies.

Before we went to NYC, owner of our bnb had recommended Hart’s to us. Actually it’s in the neighborhood so we passed by it a few times when we walked from our bnb to the subway station. It looked like an interesting place for fine dining therefore we decided to give it a try. The restaurant was small and easily full. Table reservation became a must. Eventually we had a fantastic night there. Food was excellent. Ambience was stylish and cozy. They also had a good selection of wine!!

Cute, intimate restaurant - they have maybe 8 tables and a 5-seat bar, so wouldn’t advise coming here with a big group. Food was tasty, although flavors weren’t particularly unique or groundbreaking. I ordered the clam toast, lamb burger with anchovies, and olive oil cake. Clam toast was essentially a very garlicky moules marinieres over thick-cut, grilled She Wolf Bakery bread. Lamb burger was very good, with a nice savoriness thanks to the anchovies. Olive oil cake was disappointingly dry and crumbly. Service was good, but a little distant, and portions were tiny. Probably won’t come back but it’s worth a try.

Attractive room - inventive use of small space. Creative food that honors the ingredients, not afraid of big flavors, intense spicing. I like their use of anchovies and sardines in unexpected places, such as grass fed lamb burger with anchovies. Love this place.
