Today was my first time at Hydraulic Hearth and I absolutely loved it. As soon as we walked in, the whole place smelt wonderful. I had the Barella pizza and a wonderful cocktail that was very refreshing. The atmosphere was wonderful, the wait staff were attentive, and the bartenders were knowledgeable, friendly, and efficient. Will definitely be returning!

We had two delicious craft cocktails, split a Caesar salad (delicious, creamy. Incredible homemade croutons) a burrata pizza (the marinated tomatoes and crisped prosciutto were incredible) and the fries! (Perfectly done, salted enough, hot, and the malt vinegar aioli is incredible). Lots of seating at 7 on a Friday night. We sat down. Decided what we wanted, then ordered at the bar. We got our food incredibly quickly and it was delicious. The playlist was great and we sang along as we happy ate. Portions were large so we took home leftovers. We'll be back!

lovely little gem, a little pricey but the quality matches the cost and the portions are generous. We could’ve split a pizza but leftovers are always appreciated the fries were top notch and excellent beer selections. Food came incredibly quickly.
