   Very disappointed overall. Sparkling lemonade is just lemon juice and soda (so sour!!), cocktails are quite basic. Food is plated quite simply which does not have to be a bad thing but plates are very big and tables (2 top) are very small which makes it uncomfortable when there are more than 2 plates on the table. As they encourage you to order several plates to share, this is less than ideal. Mortadella was extremely salty, could have been sliced thinner and still had pieces of plastic casing on it. Campanelle pasta was supposed to be mushroom, mint and creme fraiche. Sparse mushroom, no mint but a very strong lemony presence so creme fraiche was broken down and watered so much it was dripping and not coating the pasta. Gnocchis were on the drier side, not chewy at all. Door to the dishpit is right by some tables and as staff comes and goes, it makes for drafts, bright light flashes and overall noise that disrupt the experience. Same tables also have a direct view inside the bathroom stalls. Server was just average. We waited for our drink order for 20 minutes, were asked 3 times if we had placed our order, tables are very close to each other so server's bottom is on your table while they address the next table. Seriously, very mediocre experience overall. Would not recommend. Very disappointed.

   Best meal we’ve ever had here. Everything from the food to the service and the pacing was just so nice. It felt elevated and extra special. We sat at the counter and it was memorable. Way to go tonight!!!

   Went there with my husband after learning about the restaurant through a pasta class we took together there. The restaurant is small but has a nice cozy feel since the kitchen opens into the dining area. Wait staff is very polite and very attentive to the guests. We got the chef’s tasting menu and it was delicious! On one of the plates it had scallops and the staff told the chef that I don’t care for scallops. So, the chef slightly modified the dish with an egg, which showed to us the chef cares about his diners experience. If you’re looking for an upscale restaurant with great food, I definitely recommend Haerfest.

   We had made a reservation for six people and when we showed up, we were given a private room. What a blessing! It was quiet and a lot of us are hard of hearing. We had a lovely evening with good food and good service. We ended up ordering too much food but now we know the size of the servings. There are lots of different things on the menu and everyone was happy.

   What an AMAZING experience! The staff was exceptional - especially the GM and bar manager. They made fantastic suggestions and were attentive even though the restaurant was full! We can’t wait to go back!

   First time visiting. Food was excellent. The restaurant was nice to sit in. One of our party had dietary restrictions and the manager went the extra mile to accommodate her and make it a very positive experience.
