Hearth & Hill

The restaurant is designed to be a warm, light-filled gathering place where flexibility and craft support everything from casual meetups to curated private events. At its core, an open kitchen anchors the experience, inviting guests into the energy of the cooking process. Glossy olive-toned tile adds depth and warmth, catching and reflecting the movement of the space. In the dining room, adaptable seating accommodates both large parties and intimate groups beneath soaring 20-foot ceilings that bring in abundant natural light. Playful globe pendants soften the scale and introduce a welcoming sense of intimacy, while solid white oak floors run throughout, unifying each zone with a quiet, warm texture.

For more private moments, the private dining room offers are fined, versatile setting built for seamless hosting. Two sliding doors allow the space to expand or close down as needed, and a retractable projector with flexible seating makes it equally suited to celebrations, presentations, and business meetings. A lower ceiling height enhances comfort and intimacy, complemented by honey-stained white oak finishes and natural leather upholstery that create a cozy elegance. Adjacent to the PDR, a small patio can be separated from the main restaurant, providing an outdoor option that still feels personal and tucked away.

From arrival to last call, the design balances characterwith functionality. The host area sets the tone with fluted olive-green tilethat feels both playful and polished, while a steel-framed reeded glass divideroffers a protective buffer from the elements and a glimpse into the livelyinterior beyond. The bar becomes a natural focal point, defined by a real brassfront with a lived-in patina and a booth-lined perch wrapped in honey-tonedwhite oak—an inviting spot to gather before dinner, linger over a meal, orcatch the game. Custom wine and liquor display cabinets frame and define thebar zone, crafted in solid white oak with a dark ebonized exterior and ahoney-toned illuminated interior. Temperature-controlled and softly glowing,they add both performance and ambience, completing a cohesive experience ofwarm materials, thoughtful detailing, and adaptable spaces.

We first retained SBD with extraordinarily high expectations, only to find that the actual experience is even better! As a family-owned restaurant group ourselves, we particularly appreciate their family culture of teamwork, passion for perfection and dependability.
