Tried their Thursday’s Gentleman’s Night. Steak and sides were great. Loved the Texas charcuterie board and fresh baked pretzel. You can’t beat the $8 Woodford Reserve old fashioned. Will definitely go again.
Everything was wonderful we had a reservation and was seated quickly. Food was excellent we had the chicken and waffles and it was alot of food that 2 ppl can share. Mimosas are good as well nice place.
Great time!
Cool place for a date. I've been to the one in Galv and that was a mid day visit. But we had dinner here tonight and really enjoyed sitting upstairs. We were seated at the railing overlooking the main dining area so we got to look down at all the other diners. A lovely chandelier next to us. The food was outstanding and I actually ate brussell sprouts which i
dislike. Service was good. A bit expensive with the bottle of wine. But BRAVO!
excellent location, service was exceptional, the food and drinks were great. Close to a lot of downtown venues.
Amazing food and outstanding service. Ordered a variety of dishes to share among our party and the favorites were chicken and waffles, bacon wrapped shrimp, and the French toast.
Food was outstanding service service was terrific. I will definitely be back.
The service was excellent. The portions were perfect. And the food was delicious!
Great service. The food was excellent, all of it. Geez, had no idea this place is so accessible downtown. Felt totally safe. Highly recommend.
Our server Vincent was absolutely amazing! He made the experience great. The food was wonderful as well (always is). 10/10 recommend!!
Wonderful service, excellent selection. The waitstaff and team are doing a excellent job in meeting COVID protocols. We really enjoyed our brunch and appreciate everything the locations are doing to stay open and keep everyone safe
We went to hearsay after not dining there for a few years as it was good as ever. The menu was a great selection, the service was excellent and drinks as well. Ahi tuna flat bread was a great different way to eat ahi.
I brought a friend from out of town for brunch and we were both SO impressed. Our server was thoughtful and kind, the drinks were delicious and the food was incredible. We got the milk punch, deviled eggs, chicken and waffles, chilaquiles and bread pudding French toast. Each dish was somehow better than the last. Will definitely be returning often!
Wonderful food! Sitting outside was fantastic! Great service! Will definitely be back!
Brunch was amazing! Highly recommend the bread pudding french toast!
One of many return visits for us! one of my son and DIL fav places.
Wish the menu included Creme Brulee and or Cheesecake.
Emily was so amazing!! The food was delicious and the environment was so unique. 10/10 would come here again!
Our server, Mia, was engaging, very pleasant and prompt in getting us all we desired. Brunch here is always very good. This was a very good experience.
Behave and Stephanie were amazing. Very friendly. Love the atmosphere and the food was beyond delicious.
Have been coming here for years! Love it! Recommend 100%
Forever enjoying brunch here <3
Really cute, small place. Decent prices for food. Gouda mac and cheese a bit underwhelming but everything else was delicious
It was great from entering the restaurant until leaving..very attentive bar tender wait staff
There was 3 of us we have no complaints!!
We arrived for our reservation time. Immediately the waitress told us that they needed the table by 6. When I looked puzzled, she said “I know you have a reservation but we need the table by six.” Having waited tables in my youth, I was blown away. Normally you would let customers eat and then if they were lingering too long then inform them that they were welcome to move to the bar or come back for a visit but the table was needed. Not the first thing you say. We sat down and she started going through the available cocktails. Told us that she would give us a minute which turned into ten minutes while she ran around taking care of tables both inside and out. There were several staff members standing around just watching her. She finally returned to take our drink order and then proceeded to go behind the bar and make our drinks along with drinks for her other tables all herself while the two bartenders stood watching. We are now over 20 minutes into our time and she hasn’t even came over with our drinks. One of the bartenders must have picked up on my glances and came over to check on us. I mentioned my concerns and another young lady delivered our drinks. Now we were 30 minutes in and no sign of her coming to take our order. I decided to leave and go eat at another restaurant. You can’t put people in a time clock and then take forever to actually wait on them. Just poor service and poor management to allow a waitress to behave that way.
Amazing night, &amazing server Vanessa ❤️
This was our first time there and it will not be the last time. It was a great place to eat and hang out. I highly recommend it!
Great food and service
Erica was great! food and drinks were amazing! Mom and i will be returning.
Very nice place with great atmosphere and great bar selection in a very cool old building for a date.
Food was AMAZING, loved the vibe & ambiance. However, I would have liked to feel my server’s presence a bit more. Besides taking our order and serving us our food, she was nowhere to be found for refills, napkins, the bill, etc. Overall great experience, highly recommend for a quaint, chill-vibe brunch.
This is my 3rd Hearsay visit where the service was incredibly slow. Meals arrived at different times. Because of the wait, eggs were overcooked. We reserved for outside and they didn't have outside seating available when we arrived. We were at the top of a busy stair by a bar and wanted to be socially distanced.
The food was good. But I will not return. Also, their menu said mimosa was complementary. They charged me $12 for it - and I had 1 small glass with no refills.
Value is not there. Covid service is missing. And overall service is lagging. They clearly favor large groups and ignore smaller tables.
Ampostsphere was fantastic , service was impeccable and food was Amazing... highly recommend the Empire Strikes Back ...
We went for HRW and it was our first time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The cocktails were really good. Our food was really good and I loved the historic charm of the building.
This was my first time at Hearsay Market Square and it did not disappoint! We went for brunch and were seated upstairs. The sweet and spice bacon was delicious. It was served with maple syrup and blue cheese dressing on the side. The bacon itself had red pepper flakes to give it just the right about of kick and the maple syrup provided the sweet. I have the Wagu Chicken Fried Steak with bacon brussel sprouts and potatoes. The brussel sprouts were a hit at the table. I ended up sharing them with 3 other people! We also were able to order lattes and cappuccinos from the coffee place next door. They were awesome as well. Overall a great experience and I can't wait to go back!
First of all we went during these trying times and we could not have felt safer - the restaurant is taking every precaution to make sure you have an enjoyable experience.
The food was excellent and the service was impeccable.
The Asst General Manager Vincent was awesome! We will definitely be back - so many other dishes to try!!!
It was a nice experience, our server Erika was very attentive and made sure we were satisfied. The mimosas were also very tasty!
It was good but my wife had some allergy after the dinner.
Had a wonderful time. Great staff. Great food. Will definitely be back.
Delicious Restaurant Weeks menu in a very safe environment.
The dish I ordered- Tuscan chicken pasta- was kind of plain but it’s was okay. I would not order this again. The service was amazing and the atmosphere was great I would go back again but I would order something different.
