    My sisters and I went to Hearsay on The Waterway for brunch, and the food was amazing! We each ordered something different and ended up sharing bites off each other’s plates. We tried the Crème Brûlée French Toast, Short Rib Hash, Brunch Steak & Eggs, a side of grits, and a pineapple mimosa. Everything was so good! Our waitress was super attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. I’m definitely planning to come back and try their dinner menu next time!

    First time eating here. Some of the drinks are expensive but food is great. Sat inside by bar. It was very noisy. Other than that we had a good time.

    Totally Unpleasant experience with our waitress it seamed as she hated being at her work didn’t attend the table as appropriate. She got pretty upset when we pointed out that our steaks were overcooked and blew us off, and walked away never offered the desert menu never even apologized she didn’t care at all. We haven’t returned any of the food we paid our bill and I left her a tip as I truly felt sorry for her not that she deserved one at all we also won’t ever return here. So unpleasant what away to ruin one’s birthday dinner.

I hope you’ll reconsider visiting us in the future, as we’d love the chance to make it right. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

    It was a small Christmas celebration and, when we arrived, our requested table was covered in hot sunshine and our hostess was very sweet to move us to the perfect table. Our waitress was less than attentive. Our food took over a half hour to arrive and she never once checked on us, but, our food was delicious. People who arrived after us had eaten, paid and left before we got our food. One of us did not get the salad dressing with our salad, but, by the time our waitress checked on us, she was finished eating. We did not get any water. I've been going there since it opened and the menu has changed and some of my favorites have gone away, so, that was kind of sad, but, I loved the scallops!! Perfectly cooked (no saffron as was mentioned in the description) and beautifully plated. Our waitress suggested the Watermelon Chile Mocktail when I asked her opinion on them and she was right. It was delicious! The waitress was a let down, but, the food was good.

    Thank you for your thoughtful review, Maureen! We're so glad to hear that our hostess made sure you were comfortable and that you enjoyed the food, especially the scallops and the Watermelon Chile Mocktail. We’re sorry to hear the service didn’t meet expectations and will be sure to address this. We truly appreciate your continued support and hope to welcome you back soon!

    We had a great experience for lunch at Hearsay. Our waitress, Marissa G., was nice and answered all my questions about the menu. She surprised us with a yummy dessert for our anniversary. The food was very good as always.

    I took my wife for our 15 year wedding anniversary, first timers there. Both my wife and I loved our food, our waiter was awesome. I feel bad I don’t recall his name, but he was the only male server I saw working on Thursday December 12th at 5pm. Great experience, we will definitely be back.

    Our reservations were for main dining standard seating, not the patio. When we arrived we were seated on the patio. There are heaters on the patio but they only heat certain seats around the table. It made for a cold dinner. I specifically did not want a patio table because of this.
    Hearsay on The WaterwayResponded on December 9, 2024
    Hi Kerrie, Thank you for your feedback, and I’m sorry to hear about the seating issue. We strive to provide a comfortable dining experience for all of our guests, and I apologize for the inconvenience you faced with the patio seating. Your preference for main dining has been noted, and we’ll ensure to do better with your seating request in the future. We appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide a more enjoyable experience next time.
