Maîre d' James went beyond our belief for my friend's birthday. Unlike any restaurant we have experienced before. Truly loved his attention to detail to making her night memorable. Service is stellar! Like an orchestra in concert with each other. Staff didn't have to say much to one another to have the restaurant flow perfectly. Loved seeing their organization. Food was delicious. I recommend the tarts, the scallop, bread & butter with jam, and halibut. Drinks were tasty! The architecture and design of the building is beautiful. Love the trees in the background, feels like you are floating in them. The first smell you experience is the hearth and that sets the tone. This is a special occasion restaurant so expect a pricey night that is well worth it.

I love the creativity behind every dish. We ordered off the menu (just two of us) and were not disappointed. My fish dish was a tad salty but nothing fatal. My biggest concern, though, is that the sommelier left the table to open the wine. Eek! Probably not a big deal to most people, but that's a big no-no in the wine world. And six weeks later I'm still thinking about it. Loved the birthday buñuelo.

Hestia was an unforgettable experience. Went there recently with my wife and friends. Ambiance was unique. Restaurant was nice and modern and you could smell the smoke from the wood fired open-hearth cooking as soon as you entered. One of the things that stood out from this restaurant was the service you receive there. It was the best service I have received period. From the hosts, the servers, chefs, and even owners, everyone treats you like you are a VIP. It seemed like everyone working there truly wants to be there and that means a lot. We ordered a little bit of everything and our favorite dish was definitely the scallops cooked in beef tallow. The scallops were succulent and rich with meaty beef flavor from the tallow. Felt like you were eating a steak! Beets were delicious too and the pan de cristal was probably the best bread I've had at a restaurant. Appetizers were all 10/10 but if I had to choose one dish that really stood out it would definitely be the scallops. Entrees: we ordered the pork chops, halibut, and lions main mushrooms. Unfortunately this is where they lost a star from me personally. I know taste is subjective but I was just not impressed with the dry aged pork chops. I asked them to cook the dish how they recommended it, which was medium rare. The meat just did not have a wow factor. Maybe it was due to the dry aged process but I like my meats juicy and this fell short of my expectations. Wife ordered the lions mane mushrooms and it was almost perfect. Only thing I would ask them to change next time is to reduce the saltiness. Felt like the mushrooms really absorbed all the flavors of the dish well but it was just too salty to enjoy on its own as a main entree. Desserts: We ordered 3 different desserts and while they were all good the sour dough ice cream is a must order item. It was probably the most interesting dessert I've ever had in my life. Not saying it was the best tasting, or my favorite dessert but it really challenged your perspective on what a dessert could be. Just order it and you'll see what I mean. All in all this place is definitely a restaurant I would recommend for a special occasion or a fun night out with friends. Hats off to the staff and I thank them for an unforgettable experience.

First time here and LOVE this restaurant! Everything was perfect from start to finish. The staff were so gracious and treated everyone in my party like we were royalty. The menu is daring and delicious. I'm not sure how often the menu changes, but highly recommend the halibut, the caviar cornbread, the green beans, and the sourdough ice cream is not to be missed. The music and lighting were great. The bathroom was super clean and smelled nice. Parking was easy- garage nearby and the restaurant validated it. Most definitely will be back!
