    Cozy fireplace!

    The Hearth has my heart! For the past ten years, The Hearth has been a family-owned catering business. Just two months ago, they opened their first restaurant. We went on a Friday night during the busiest time, with a full dining room and lots of activity. Usually, when a restaurant is that busy, either the food or the service suffers. That wasn't the case here. Even with constant table changes and a busy staff, both the kitchen and the servers kept everything running smoothly. The whole experience felt thoughtful and genuinely welcoming, making us forget how busy it was. As soon as we walked in, the hostess greeted us warmly. She seated us, told us a little about The Hearth's story, explained the menu, and pointed out the specials. The space feels lively and comfortable. It's big enough for solo diners, date nights, or groups, but it never feels too empty or too hectic. Artisan-style pizza is the main attraction, but the menu offers much more. You'll find charcuterie boards, pastas, soups, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. There's also a Creation of the Month, weekday lunch specials, happy hour, monthly features, and game-day options. There are plenty of reasons to come back. We started with meaty buffalo wings and, to my delight, all drumsticks. The spice was mild, the chicken was juicy, and they didn't last long. I also tried the sourdough cheese bomb, which had a great cheese pull. The bread was crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the balsamic drizzle added a nice tangy touch. For mains, we shared two 14" specialty pizzas. First up: The Hot Clutter, The Hearth's take on a buffalo chicken pizza. Built on a creamy white sauce and mozzarella blend, it's topped with grilled chicken, crispy bacon, crunchy fried onions, blue cheese crumbles, and finished with a drizzle of original buffalo sauce. This was a table favorite -- bold but not overwhelming, rich yet controlled, with layers of heat and creaminess that worked together rather than competing. We also tried the Margherita pizza, topped with fresh basil, sangria tomatoes, and a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil. While simpler in composition, it was anything but basic. The small tomatoes delivered bursts of juiciness without compromising the integrity of the slice -- no soggy situations here. If you're someone who tends to skip Margherita pizzas in favor of something flashier, this one might change your mind. The pizza crust deserves special mention. It's light, airy, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the difference when the dough is handled well, and it shows in every bite of these pies. Even with unfinished slices still on the table, we made the wise decision to save room for dessert -- and I'm glad we did. Enter: The Cookie Lucy. Inspired by Minnesota's famous Juicy Lucy, this dessert is unique to The Hearth and was a real highlight. It's a chocolate chip cookie filled with cream cheese, baked in a small griddle, topped with homemade vanilla ice cream, and finished with a cranberry drizzle. The warm cookie and ice cream are a great combination, but the best part is the cream cheese filling. It keeps its texture and flavor without melting into the cookie. You really have to try this dessert to understand how good it is. The service was attentive and thoughtful the whole time, which was impressive considering how busy it was. Our server checked on us often, brought our food out hot, and clearly cared about our experience. The owner also stopped by to introduce himself, share some of their story, and talk about joining the community. It felt like a genuine, personal touch. By the end of the night, we were full, impressed, and already planning what to try next time. The Hearth offers excellent value, consistent quality, and genuine hospitality. It's definitely worth visiting more than once.

    Tried the new restaurant, The Hearth, in Eden Prairie, and left..... very thrilled to have a delicious new restaurant in our neighborhood. This location has struggled, we've seen 3 restaurants come and go, and all we have wished for was a great restaurant to come and stay, and we believe the Hearth has cracked the code We ordered a pizza and the Italian beef sandwich. The home made crust of the pizza was incredible, baked in a wood fired oven and cooked to perfection. Meanwhile the Italian beef sandwich had wonderfully tender meat that melted in your mouth. We sat at the bar, and the bartender mentioned this is the busiest it has ever been and so they were understaffed and so service was a bit slow, yet the bartender was still attentive. Overall I would tell anyone In the area that it's worth stopping by to support this local business

    Clean and vibrant kitchen. They know what they are doing.

    Great food, ambiance, and service! Try the artichoke dip, & the spicy sausage penne or mac-n-cheese if you want to be blown away!

    Visited 11/8/25. Picnic crushed their lunch special option! A bit on the steeper size price wise,…read morehowever it stands up with their "normal" prices for the most part (I think if they included chips or something it would feel like better value overall). We got takeout on this occasion which was slick, albeit a bit tricky due to parking in the linden hills area by this restaurant. I got the turkey in the hills sandwich and the tomato soup. Both of these were hits and were a good amount of food too. My mom got the same sandwich with the chicken wild rice soup which wasn't as much of a hit as the tomato but was still decent and then my sister got a veg sandwich with the tomato soup. Overall I like the lunch special and think it could be perfect with a sandwich and salad on a summer day

    We wanted to go for a cocktail before our dinner in the area, and Picnic has been on my list to…read moretry! SPACE There are a few 4-tops on the patio in front, a handful of bar seats inside with a small, cozy indoor table footprint, and a handful of 2-3 tops on the back alley. SERVICE The bartender told us to go find a spot on the back alley, so we did - but not sure we did things right, as our server walked past us a few times without acknowledging us. Service was friendly but limited. DRINKS They had a nice cocktail menu, but I opted for an Aperol Spritz. My husband chose off their limited NA menu a lavender honey lemonade, and it was a bit too sweet for him. I'd love to see some mocktail options here! FOOD We just got a few shareables since we were heading to dinner after, but their sandwiches were making my husband's mouth water! We got: Pickle Brined Wings - amazing flavor, salty and dilly, but I would have liked quite a bit more char on them: they were pretty pale. Minnesota Sushi - my husband loved this! Served with Ritz crackers, and it's the perfect little shareable dip.
