We had a wonderful experience last night. There were 7 in our party. We originally were sat inside, but the room was very noisy. My 85 yr old dad was with us, and he doesn’t hear well. I asked the hostess if we could move to the patio where in was quieter, and she happily moved us. Our servers were friendly, efficient, knowledgeable, and all around GREAT! I would happily recommend this location!

The Steak made me realize ive never had a real steak before, first time ever to eat a whole steak at a restaurant. I thought i was tired of food because ive already had everything but man that steak opened my eyes to a new world of flavor. Next time Im throwing a wedding party here with that 8oz peace of art as my bride.

My friends and I went to Hearsay on a Friday night. The band that played was awesome! The decor inside of the restaurant was made of beautiful, velvet material from the Great Gatsby style era. The customer service was very professional. I ordered lamb chops for dinner, which were delicious, however, my sides, not so much. Lastly, the restaurant offers a humidor and a cigar patio that over looks the baseball park. The views are very nice. I will definitely return.

Probably my new favorite place in DFW. Great music, great service, great food, and I didn’t spot a single d-bag among the guests who all enjoyed their evening.
