It gets better each time we go there. Who would have thought cauliflower could be so good, with a chestnut puree no less?

Delicious food and drinks. If you are ok with CLOSE seating arrangements with other tables - this is your place. The staff was lovely and the food very tasty - only hitch for me was how tightly we were seated with other guests.

Urban Hearth, a truly remarkable and extraordinary experience! From our greeting at the door to the exceptional service, walking in was like joining a close happy family home in every cliche rom-com. Extraordinary international Cambridge vibe. We opted for the Chef’s Table - fantastic tasting menu. Both from visual and taste perspectives, each plate was like a Bach cello concerto played by Yo Yo Ma - absolute balance, amplified by deeply exceptional creativity. Wide range of complex ingredients from global cuisines all melded to harmonic perfection. And each course was presented and explained by Chef Erin Miller, with both the knowledge and pride of a parent introducing their summa cum laude offspring. We’ve eaten in several Michelin-starred chef’s tables internationally, and this was among the best and most memorable. Do not miss this experience!

Erin and her team do an amazing job from start to finish. Highly recommend the chef’s table tasting menu with wine pairing. So creative and well done. Every course is exciting! The savory Creme Brulee is a crowd favorite every time!
