The hearth also serves as the heart of the restaurant’s experiences such as dining at the Hearth Table. Join us for happy hour at our cocktail bar, featuring signature cocktails and fiery bar bites or indulge in a glass of wine from the country’s only South American wine list.

    I just went here for our anniversary and it was an excellent experience. The food was amazing. The grilled shellfish platter was one of the best dishes I’ve had in my life. We had a little bit of a later reservation so the kitchen was closing soon after our appetizers but our server made sure to get our entree order in and did not make us feel rushed at all. He brought us out some desert and even a little toast to celebrate our anniversary. Our busboy as well noticed that our table was uneven and fixed it without being asked. Even the manager was attentive and stopped by the table to see how everything was. I will 1000% be back for the excellent service and amazing food.

    Service was outstanding, especially considering our reservation was at 9pm and the staff was working the dinner service for many hours. Unbelievably service oriented. Food was exceptional, as always. The place was packed, and as a result the decibel level was high. It was expensive, but we really enjoyed being taken care of on the night before Valentine’s Day.

    Gibson’s is one of our favorite “special occasion” places (Valentine’s Day, milestone birthday, etc.). Fantastic food and service. Elvis was a great server and we look forward to our next visit.

    I took my mom for a Valentine's Day lunch. We went around 3 PM, and even though my reservation was at 3:30 PM the staff were nice enough to let me in. Granted it was a low volume of people eating at the time. We were sat near the windows which added to the ambience of our visit. The music made it feel like we were in an old fancy jazz club. I had the French onion soup and the chicken sandwich while my mom had the Walnut turkey club sandwich. Both sandwiches came with well seasoned fries. The food was delicious and our waitress, Annette, was very attentive and sweet. Overall we had a great experience and would definitely go again. I would highly recommend the Walnut Room.
