    We had a rough experience at the end of May and I left a review detailing it. Brandon, a manager at Hearsay, personally reached out and invited us back. We went for their brunch and it was such a redemptive time. We had a wonderful meal and time together. We are so grateful for Brandon’s effort and care to reach out.

    Our party of 7 went for the Sunday brunch at 11 am with a reservation. Table was exactly what I requested and service and food were great. Our waitress was fantastic and dealt well with a 3 year old. Truly, I wish I had requested indoors as it was hot on the patio but I got what i requested. We have a member of our party who has difficulty hearing so inside was not really an option for us as it gets noisy and our purpose was to talk and eat on this visit. I have been many times to Hearsay and will go back again and again.

    The service was great. So was the food and the location on the terrace was nice. We got to hear Mariachi music that was performing on the water way. The noise level was loud. We had a great time.

    Outside event was VERY disruptive as they were spilling over into other dining areas. We left after an appetizer. We felt bad for our waiter as he was frustrated as well. We were celebrating our wedding that occurred earlier that day and it was the place of our first date. Historically we have really liked this place. We were disappointed.
