We walked in late & the host let us know that the kitchen would be closing soon but was so sweet about it! He just wanted to give us a heads up but they were happy to seat us and didn’t make us feel rushed at all. Once we ordered, my fiancé was told that what he ordered wasn’t available anymore and he decided to not order anything else & to just share with me. To which they surprised us with some apps on the house - so kind & unnecessary! Not to mention so delicious. The food and service here are so good. Not to mention such a cute date night spot!

The crispy rice appetizer with spicy tuna was perfect. Wonderful mix of textures and flavors. The short ribs were disappointing. Bigger pieces of meat tasted more like over cooked, dry pot roast with not much flavor. Very considerate service. I would go back for the crispy rice and try a different entree. Korean sweet drink was good too.

We went for Restaurant Week and the selection was amazing, I would definitely go back for another meal - loved the Crispy Rice and Hamachi appetizers, and I've never had Short Rib like they had at Hortus. Also I could've eaten the Yuzu Panna Cotta and the Mango Bread Pudding for weeks. Service was also lovely, and the entire experience was 5/5.

Went for Christmas dinner Prix fix. Excellent, modern, elevated food as usual. Generous portions. Wonderful service in beautiful setting. Options to eat at the kitchen counter, in the beautiful and serene dining room, bar seating, and nicely protected “outdoors.” Good wine list with nice options at reasonable prices.

Very good food, quality ingredients. Seriously hampered by abysmal service including rushed service, not clearing plates, and not refilling drinks. On the food alone this would be a must-go experience, but considering the service, I would avoid.

Discovered this place by a recommendation of Open Table and I was VERY happy it did. Jenna our server was amazing on point with her recommendations she was very knowledgeable and very personable and professional everything we had was amazing. I will recommend this place for a date (romantic vibe) or just when you want to eat AMAZING INNOVATIVE food.

Poor service!!! Friday Lunch time only one server and one host work for at least 10 tables. Foods are dry and not fresh! Specially the Uni (we paid $10extra for the uni). They tried to gave us some free food to cover the bad service, but I must to speak it out! We arrived there at 12:30 noon , for one appetizer and one main course, and we left at 2:20pm( I paid two hours meter parking). The main course take more than 40 mins to get ready. We asked for the check before we finished meal. It’s my first time write a review to a restaurant! Really bad experience!

Everything about Hortus is wonderful. The space is great, both in decor and in arrangement of the tables. We were there for a restaurant week lunch, but despite that the portions were perfect (though did pay the supplement for the crispy octopus and the truffle donabe with hanger steak - both of which were extraordinary and well worth it) cauliflower steak starter was also phenomenal, as was the sea urchin donabe. Cocktails were also exceptional. Will return again.

The entrance was very odd. One small narrow path to enter and wait to be seated as well as the exit. All seating seems to be upstairs but on main floor there is a bar which is used for food staging. I feel for the price charged the food could have been better and there are much nicer places to eat at this price point. There is no full bar, just what is on their beverage menu. I was celebrating a birthday and put a request in for a special dessert but my request was not met. I will not go back and anyone thinking of going here, save yourself the trip. Nothing special here.

Negatives first: Have to climb 1 1/4 flights; no printed lunch menu'; some prices have increased since on line prices; check had to be revised 3 times. That said; our noodle and crab starter was quite tasty. Ribeye, has an $8 supplement. It was a sliced steak, properly cooked and of fair quality. Vegetable accompaniments were satisfactory. Not a bargain by any measure.
