    Clam toast (I didn't want to use flash and disrupt the beautiful vibe)
    Linda M.

    What a great time! Hart's was a great intimate evening. The restaurant is small, cozy but warm and inviting. The dim lights create such a romantic and private atmosphere even while sitting next to other tables. It was a nice evening of good service, great conversation and a lovely atmosphere. The food was also very good. The donut appetizer was savory and delicious. The clam toast was pretty good. The trout was incredible. It was light but filling and tasty. I would return just for that dish. The lamb burger was also a hit. The pork dish was good as well. We didn't really enjoy the lemon curd dessert but the drinks and wine selections were all wonderful.

    Pork Milanese and Skate

    LOVE this spot. Brought my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner and we both left so satisfied. Service was great, ambiance was cozy, and the food was so delicious. While everything was delicious, the pork Milanese is dream worthy. The olive oil cake was also to die for. Such a gem.

    My bf really wanted me to try this place but, there is always a wait. So, we decided to show at exactly when they open! It's a small place with about 20 covers. It fills up fast, a hour into opening people were choosing to eat outside (it was cold) and waiting for us to replenish our table. Food: 5/5 I typically don't like non-Asain food but, here was an exception. Our appetizer, the clam bread was so tasty (buttery, garlicky, salty) that I had to stop myself from drinking it. The clams were fresh, grit-free, and delectable. Our entrées were amazing too. I got the bouillabaisse and my bf got the pork. I loved both dishes. The pork was crispy, the alioli and cabbage was heavenly with saltiness of the capers. My dish wasn't acidic, all the seafood was cooked to perfection, and it was deceivingly satisfying. All paired with orange wine - not a typo orange wine does exist! Total damage was about $160 after tip. Service: 5/5 I am lactose intolerant so, when I go to restaurants I expect to be politely poisoned. When the waiter asked if I had any food restrictions I expected it to go into one ear and out the other. The staff was so attentive that every item we ordered that had dairy they made sure to confirm it with us before bring to the table. In fact, when ordering dessert they apologized for not mentioning that the olive cake had dairy sooner (though it had yet to reach the table) and wanted to check with me. They were friendly, knowledgeable (explained orange wine), and very accommodating. All in all, definitely going back and making sure I am first on line since they don't accept reservations. This was a great date night, lovely lighting, but fairly loud as more guest came in. I really enjoyed my experience.

    Clam toast
    Xonatia L.

    Hart's, sister restaurant of Cervo's, is a great place for dinner in Bed-stuy/Crown Heights. The seafood here is delicious!! My favorite dish of the night was the clam toast because the broth was delicious and the toast soaked it up so well. I wish I ordered a second one, it was that good. The piri piri chicken had great flavor and was well-seasoned and well cooked. I knew it would be great because the owner of Hart's has a chicken restaurant called The Fly nearby. The hake was so well cooked because the skin was so crisp and the fish was still most. Will definitely come back!! * arancini 10/10 * clam toast 11/10 (I would come back just for this dish) * piri piri chicken 10/10 * hake 10/10 The spot is very intimate and dark so I think it'll be great for a date. The bar is great and has a ton of selections. The restaurant is tiny so I advise making a reservation in advance.

    Anchovies toast

    So, I took my girl out on a date here. The place was small but comfortable. Seats about 20-24 people. A good spot for a date night. Felt it was pricey for what we got. We shared everything. The food was ok but honestly there just wasn't anything we tasted that we would have to come back for. She ordered the perfect martini which was pretty good. I got the boulevardier then just a ginger beer. The Bourbon drink was okay but I enjoyed the ginger beer better plus it was less than half the price lol We shared their: anchovies on toast and butter marinaded beets, grapefruit and horseradish braised endive, mussels and hazelnut Swordfish, creamy potatoes, fennel and salsa Verde Poached pear, creme anglaise, pistachio and chocolate Sadly, out of all of it.... think our favorite thing was the anchovies on toast which was pretty pricey. So $14 for 2 crostinis with seasoned butter and anchovies... Ouch I wasn't a fan of the beets dish, least favorite... The mussels and endive dish was pretty good. The swordfish dish was ok but upsetting that my favorite part was the potatoes and not the fish. The dessert was ok but I wouldn't get it again. The staff was great. Always available and quick to help, serve, clear... Just pricey for not liking most of it... For just the 2 of us we burned $160 plus tip... If I enjoyed the majority of the food, I think it would have been a good price point....feel like this was certainly more hype than anything else...

    Heirloom tomatoes with clams
    Somi K.

    I wanted to go somewhere within walking distance from my place that had solid seafood options--upon walking in, the ambiance of the place felt cozy and intimate. The close seating and the candles make this place a great date spot. The food was good--it wasn't amazing or great, but everything tasted simple, clean, and fresh. I expected the heirloom tomatoes to be cold, but they weren't, which caught me off guard on my first bite. The room temp tomatoes actually went well with the clams, so I didn't mind. The swordfish was extremely meaty, and it cut more like a steak or piece of chicken. The portions were just right for two people who weren't all that hungry--would visit again, probably for drinks and a simple appetizer.

    New american restaurant, pricey plates, imo not worth it for price- the type of new American dishes that are served are personally too bland for me as a chili oil addict. But food is fresh and if you like things like baloney and paying $30 per dish it's probably the place for you.

    Loved hart's and think it's a great date night spot! The food and drinks were incredible! Wish there was a vegetarian main but the appetizers were incredible and you can get a couple to make your main! Can't wait to come back :)

    Lamb burger
    Ting Z.

    All the reviews were recommending the clam toast and the lamb burger so of course I had to try them out. After tasting them both, I can see why. Clam toast is basically the definition of a guilty pleasure-- so buttery, garlicky, and the sourdough bread was literally perfect (deliciously crunchy on the outside, soft on the inside). Wish it came with more clams though. The lamb burger, as previous reviews have mentioned, is on the smaller side (and the bun is significantly larger than the burger). Ordered it with anchovies at my waitress's recommendation (I don't dislike anchovies but I'm not exactly a fan of them either) and I'm glad I did-- the taste wasn't overpowering at all and it definitely enhances the flavor of the burger. Burger was incredibly juicy and I really liked the pickled vegetable topping. However the side salad, although nicely dressed, could've been washed better (several of the leaves tasted sandy/gritty; expected better from a restaurant like this) and also, the leaves were so big it was kind of awkward to eat.

    Harts, Golda's & Glorietta"s are bringing food cred to this part of Franklin. Harts brings some real flavor, but scant value. The spot is owned by seafood centric Cervo's. It's cute and has a charming air. Ate: Escarole salad Swordfish with leeks, carrots & saffron Total $42 The escarole salad with horseradish and dill & radish was particularly good. The swordfish for $27 although delicious was small. Small fish with super tasty veg & sauce. The spot is noted in Bon Appetit magazine, is enticing. While this section of Bed Stuy is burgeoning, and dishes are very clever, I think prices are out of line for the potion size and locale..

    Lamb burger topped with anchovies
    Bill S.

    Hart's restaurant is cute AF! I got a haircut across the street and I noticed people waiting outside to be seated. We walked over and looked over the menu posted on the window. One item leapt out that my wife & I looked at each other and said hell yes. The lamb burger. I'm a simple guy. I like a burger and a beer. If someone is going to go the extra mile and make a kick ass burger? Heck, I'm down. The hostess said there's a 10 minute wait, not a problem. Both of our phones were blowing up, the 10 minutes flew by. I sat and ordered a funky Bloody Mary. My wife wanted iced tea but there wasn't any so the water bottle on the table was put to good use. For an extra charge you can order the Lamb Burger topped with anchovies. My wife makes a face but I'm down for the funk. Lets get that burger rockin'! The Lamb already has a earthy taste, the anchovies gave another flavor complexity to the dish. My only disappointment, the burger patty was a little too rare for my taste. And I asked for ketchup! The waitress looked at me like I had 3 heads. Ketchup has no place in Hart's restaurant! haha The Hart's menu itself is a well thought out and chef'd up menu. To offer this caliper of burger is a kudos to the restaurant and represents their creativity. If your able to score a table, I highly recommend to stop in to Hart's Restaurant.

    frittata?
    Shasha L.

    Reviewing for Brunch: They were out of the Spanish tortilla, the fried chicken, and chorizo. So it was a lamb burger or eggs for us. We chose eggs. And wow, I can't believe I paid 17 for eggs, onions, scallions, and a scant sprinkle of pecorino. This very flat sad omelette is called a frittata on the menu. I have no idea who in their right mind was like, let's crack 2 eggs in and bowl and fry it, and charge the price of 5 dozen eggs for it. I guess what can be said is that is was cooked properly? I don't even mind that it's a small place where the tables are elbow to elbow. I mind that my neighbors got the French toast and it consisted of a big plate heaped with 3 thick slices of bread browned to gorgeous perfection, while I ordered a more expensive dish and got a sad egg pancake with nothing to accompany it. I also paid 14 dollars for a very ok egg sandwich I totally could have made at home. What's wrong with me. The kitchen is competent, the food, for what it was, is made well, but the consistency of the menu is upsetting. I assume Hart's dinner is way better to have the ratings it does, so maybe we'll have to come back for the true experience.

It's a beautifully designed space, and we went in the evening so it was dimly lit and had good tunes, contributing to an intimate and cool vibe. The service throughout was good both by our primary server and the rest of the team that was bringing out dishes. For the food, we did not feel that it was a strong start, but the ending was great! The first dish to come out was their cornbread, which we agreed was very light and had a super tender texture, but there was just nothing special about the taste profile to us. The second dish were their prawns. We couldn't put our finger on the off-putting flavor in there, but we agreed that something just wasn't right and almost tasted spoiled. You also had to work a bit to dissect the prawns and remove the heads and skin. To work for it and then not enjoy the taste wasn't a great combo for us, unfortunately. It started turning around with their sweet potatoes, a type I'd never had before that were "baby" and purple on the outside while white inside. They served the potatoes with a gorgeously whipped Greek yogurt that added the exact right amount of tang to balance the sweet potato and the herby topping. The stars of the night were the coconut basmati rice and the lamb shank. My goodness! The rice dish was so complex from a flavor and texture profile and just hit all the right notes for us, and that lamb! Definitely one of the best lamb dishes I've had - Impossibly tender and seasoned to perfection. One other note I'll make regarding drinks is that they did not have a strong wine list. I ended up ordering a red, but later heard our waiter recommend against getting their wine to another table and suggesting their cocktails and mocktails instead. Just something to keep in mind if you're a wine lover!

This place was the winner, and it was everyone's first time. We got in at our reserved time, and we had to wait about 5 minutes before our table was ready.

Who won the staff as a pokémaniac?! I had to get it just for the name. The rice vodka, yuzu, melon liqueur, and other flavors made it a fantastic, summery drink. My friends got the Smooth Landing & Smooth Talker ... One was a fantastic dirty martini and the other had the best bite of ginger. The food... Oh my God. We decided to split the breads and spreads and burrata... Each came with their housemade grilled focaccia, and the smoked paprika hummus and ricotta with chili honey? WHEW! The burrata dish with the sweet potato, pesto and tomato jam was a hit too. The menu didn't even say I'd have a balsamic drizzle on top! All of that was just the warm up... My gnocchi dish was spectacular. I'm not even a big mushroom person, but those oyster mushrooms and charred kale were a hit in the pasta. My friends' gigli pasta and mussels were great too. We ended up sharing a bottle of white wine as well, and the dinner was truly a 5/5. 0 I would absolutely go back, and it seems like their menu changes every now and then. I'm looking forward to the next time! Even if it's just for a cocktail.
