5/5 X “hungrytommy” X. 10 months ago on Google
Last
night,
I
finally
tried
Urban
Hearth.
It
has
been
on
my
list
of
places
to
get
to
for
a
while,
but
it
wasn't
a
place
I
wanted
to
try
with
my
five-year-old,
so
I
had
to
wait.
The
restaurant
is
tiny,
24
seats
in
total,
with
a
little
kitchen
in
the
dining
room.
There
are
some
additional
seats
outside
too
in
good
weather.
Our
reservation
was
for
7:00
and
it
seemed
like
just
about
everyone
sat
down
at
the
same
time.
All
the
empty
tables
and
even
some
seats
outside
filled
up
at
once,
making
for
a
slightly
frantic
start
to
the
meal.
I
ordered
a
very
nice
Summer
Boulevardier
with
bourbon,
strawberry
infused
campari,
and
vermouth.
I
also
got
a
bottle
of
French
Chablis.
It
was
Bastille
Day
after
all!
The
style
is
farm-to-table
with
shared
plates,
perfect
for
date
night.
We
opted
for
five
small
plates,
skipping
over
the
larger
ones.
First
to
arrive
were
the
Crispy
Harissa
Duck
Wings
which
were
falling
off
the
bone
like
slow
cooked
ribs.
They
were
intensely
seasoned
and
served
with
addictive
bread
and
butter
pickles.
I
would
have
bought
a
jar
to
take
home
if
offered
one.
Next
came
the
scallops,
which
were
so
beautiful.
They
were
garnished
with
a
bacon
agrodolce
and
bbq
snow
peas.
Next
came
my
favorite
dish
of
the
evening,
Smoked
Bluefish
Pâté
served
with
grilled
focaccia.
This
dish
is
worth
the
visit
alone.
I'm
not
one
to
sit
out
on
Mass
Ave,
but
I
think
I
might
go
back
and
sit
outside
and
just
have
the
pâté
and
a
glass
of
wine
for
dinner
one
night.
The
last
two
dishes
came
roughly
at
the
same
time.
First
to
arrive
was
an
off
menu
special
of
squash
blossoms
stuffed
with
rice
and
goat
cheese
served
over
a
fennel
salad.
One
bite
into
it
I
was
in
heaven.
The
rich
goat
cheese
and
the
fried
blossom
balanced
with
the
acidic
salad
was
perfect.
A
moment
later
the
quail
arrived.
It
was
semi-boneless
and
halved,
decadent
with
a
bright
green
tomato
sauce.
Quail
is
one
of
my
favorite
meats
and
the
preparation
was
outstanding.
There
is
a
lot
to
like
about
Urban
Hearth.
The
space
is
charming
and
the
service
is
friendly.
But
the
real
reason
to
go
is
the
food.
Every
dish
was
exceptional.
Although
the
pâté
was
my
favorite,
I
adored
the
squash
blossoms
almost
as
much.
It
still
isn't
the
place
I
want
to
bring
my
kid,
but
hopefully
we
will
find
a
way
to
get
back.
Maybe
he
can
sit
outside
with
me
while
I
eat
pâté.
