    This was my third visit to A Way to the Heart and as with the last two visits, it has been awesome. The food is always great and what makes it unique the chef's explanation of how it was prepared and the inspiration behind. The menu changes every quarter and when it changes, I plan to reserve my slot to experience another exceptional evening of food.

    My wife and I had an exceptional dining experience. The nine-course "North American" menu was unique with each course introduced with a description by the chef of the item as well as the preparation of the dish. There were also three beverage selection pairings with the meal; a chardonay paired with the early courses, a small old fashioned paired with the courses in the middle and finally a cabarnet for the wellington course. The chefs were very personable and enjoyed engaging in discussion or answering questions/comments we had about each dish. We are looking forward to coming back for the "European" menu that begins this week.

    Such a cool experience. The food is superb and so well thought out. The ambiance is 20 out of 10. The service goes above and beyond. These guys have something special and I’ll root for them as long as they’re around, which is hopefully for a very long time to come. Already looking into making a reservation for their next menu.

    If you are looking for a fun date night in a cozy, unique,& intimate setting, check out A Way To The Heart! The restaurant offers a delectable nine course menu. The meal is accompanied by a generous selection of spirited drinks that pair deliciously with each course. The music playlist is fire. The chefs are creative, engaging, and passionate about their craft. The experience checked the box of the 3 F’s of a great evening. The food was flavorful. We had fun. We left full.

    A wonderful nine-course culinary experience centered around a specific location. Our theme was the North American experience. The setting is definitely small and intimate, with just two people per table and I believe six tables in total. Dishes were specially prepared by the chefs who individually had a story to tell about each of the tasting dishes, how each was prepared, the ingredients, etc. I also enjoyed the chefs walking around and talking to people at each table; this made the experience so much more personal and enriching. I felt that the portions were small but satisfying; my husband who loved the whole experience felt that the dishes could have been just a little larger. It's pricey - about $250 a couple - but worth it if you're looking for that special night out.

    Everything about this restaurant was fantastic! The chefs’ stories about each dish and the background of each chef was wonderful. Each dish had meaning for the chef who prepared it and the charity or person they dedicated it to was so special. The food was top notch and we will definitely be going back again!

    Great experience. Food & service are fabulous. Intimate environment (only 6, two topper, tables)… located only a few feet away from the open kitchen… and all inside a converted rail car. Tough reservation to get, but well worth it. (Also, a very reasonable corkage fee is a huge plus!!).

    We have now visited A Way to the Heart four times to have their 9 course regional tasting menu. This is such a unique, intimate experience. Portions are small since you have so many courses and typically have the option of cocktails with the the menu. I’ve heard you can bring your own wine for a corking fee. Being so close to the chefs, seeing the kitchen and hearing the stories behind each course makes the experience so special. You also get to speak with them throughout the evening. It’s always a surprise which courses are standouts. Everything is beautiful and delicious. You must go here now.

    If you haven't been to one of their reginal dining experiences, get a reservation as soon as you can. Our first experience was the Asian Regional foods, the second one was the tastes of South America. This time it was Central Americas & the Caribbean. The dishes ranged from Mofongo several seafood items, of course a pork belly dish and finally a braised Jamaican Jerk oxtail, which pared with the next course of vanilla ice cream w/pecans and naval oranges to put out the fire from the jerk seasoning, was perfect. They do not have a liquor license so bring your favorite wine to really enjoy the evening. Next quarter they will be doing North America and Canada, looking forward to it, in fact already have reservations on the book.
