Hearth - Peoria

It was my first time visiting here and it was such a splendid experience! I went for lunch and the food was delicious. I got the salmon salad which came with candied pecans, carrots, and cranberries and a smoky blue cheese dressing! For $16 the plate was huge of salad and a decent sized salmon piece. The waitstaff were immediately kind. I would love to go back and try the quiche. I will be back again. Thanks for making us feel welcome for lunch!Vegetarian options: There are salad and soup varietiesDietary restrictions: There are salad and light options availableParking: Free 3 hour street side parking but when busy it is hard to find parkingKid-friendliness: I would not think that this would be a place for kids, this is an appropriate place for celebration dinners, wine nights, ladies evening night out and date nightsWheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp outside

Hands down the best lunch in Peoria for the price and food quality. It is amazing and the cost is not much more than a fast food combo. Try the shrimp and grits or the brisket sandwich. They even have a gluten free crustless quiche and salad combo.

I had planned this to be a very special occasion for my husband 's 54th birthday. We agreed to guarantee that the mandatory $1,200 plus 20% gratuity for reserving the back room for 19 guests would be covered. The waitress was curt and condescending to our guests right out of the gate. It was then that I felt the whole tone of the night change. She was very rude to her fellow staff that came to help her. In fact, she only warmed up when she recognized 2 of our guests and when she was collecting tickets. All of the food was delivered in strange stages. For example, the woman next to me had eaten her entire meal before her husband received his, but the table before us was still on their salads. The coveted backroom is just 4 round tables that are not optimal for conversing or communing. I felt like we should have had placeholders for a wedding reception. The food and whiskey selection/drinks might have been amazing 4 years ago, but with all of our options locally, it was just mediocre. At least 3 people witnessed the waitress ignore my request for a drink refill, berate patrons for moving chairs, and chastise a co-worker. It was a very expensive let down. It was an overpriced barn-door private room. All of us were there to celebrate my husband 's birthday. I never once thought it wouldn 't be grand and amazing, given the guests and the venue, but I am still so disappointed. The food was just okay. The atmosphere was just a room, and the service was anxious to leave and get out of there. Not even dressed nice.

Fine and delicious dining that is in a relaxed and welcoming environment with personalized service. A favorite! Great wine and whiskey selections.

The food was fantastic! Entrees and desserts all scrumptious. Our server was lovely, very kind and attentive.The dining experience soured when a manager disrupted our conversation in a very brusk tone to tell us it was time to go. The restaurant closes at 9:00. It was barely past 9:30!In the context of upscale dining, it is not good form to rush your guests, especially if you care about repeat business.
