   we've been coming to this Hearsay since it opened years ago, but something has happened & it is no longer good. still a great location with cool ambiance, but the food has become average at best, & the service is horrendous. our most recent experience was too terrible to fully describe here, but our server & the bar staff were absolutely pitiful. Hearsay is officially off our list of easy downtown pre-show destinations.

   This place is amazing, we go every time we are near the theater district. Most times I am more excited to eat there than go to a show. It is not only a great restaurant, but very historical building. They have pictures of timeline on the wall. Great menu for anyone’s taste in my opinion.

   The building and ambience were great. Our seating was upstairs and cramped - so close to the table behind that I was frequently bumped by people passing through. The food was ok. Pumpkin soup watery and flavorless except for sharp cloves. Green beans overdone and under seasoned. Steaks done perfectly and best part of meal. Overall disappointing experience and wish I would have chosen elsewhere

   NO CHANGING TABLE IN EITHER BATHROOM. If you don’t want families or children there just say so.

   The bartenders were nice but took a long time to get drinks bc they were so deeply interacting with everyone. Not a big deal when it’s not busy but it was busy! The ambiance was great, music was a tad bit too loud but good. Staff seemed like they were short staffed. We ordered a glass of wine when we ordered food to be brought out together but we didn’t get our drinks til after we finished our meals. The steaks were over cooked, the scallops we had to send back bc they weren’t fresh. I had the crab crusted redfish. I don’t know why one would add crab to a measly piece of redfish just to crisp it. Makes no sense. Use panko or something. That was a waste of crab meat. The green beans were delicious and the bread pudding was as well. The rest of the food was awful. I had family in town and thought this might be a great place to celebrate them but all in all super disappointing.

   Hi Amy, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear your experience wasn’t up to expectations, especially for a special family celebration. We apologize for the delays in receiving your drinks, the overcooked steaks, and the scallops that didn’t meet the mark. Your comments about the crab crusted redfish are also noted, and we’ll work with our kitchen team to review that dish. We’re glad you enjoyed the green beans and bread pudding, but we understand the rest of the meal was disappointing. We also appreciate your input on the music volume and will make adjustments as needed. We would love another opportunity to make things right.

    At first we were told our reservations were for a high back table. I would not make a reservation for a bar stool. Open table gave me no choice. The Manage made it right and sat us on the second floor over looking the restaurant. The service was great and the food was excellent.
