    We received excellent service from the moment we arrived. At reception, we were told that a table was waiting for us upstairs. My brother has difficulty climbing stairs so they made a special effort to arrange for us to get a table down stairs. Our wait person was awesome as well!

    We came to Hearsay on Christmas Eve. The restaurant is beautiful and decorated lovely for the holiday. Our server, Sierra was very attentive especially when addressing my garlic allergy. The food was delicious and the menu had a lot of great choices. Would definitely go back.

    The service at Hearsay on the Strand was upsetting and awful. I walked in with my party of 4 and was ignored for twenty minutes before being acknowledged. Staff refused to make eye contact. After seating, no waitstaff approached our table for over 30 minutes. We got up and left.

We understand your frustration and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. Your feedback is valuable, and we will address this with our team to ensure this doesn’t happen again. We hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future.
