In Short
Though no longer the Hearty Boys' baby, chef Joncarl Lachman remains true to the distinctly American menu and cozy decor. A streetside window entertains people watchers on a raised seating area up front, while dark wood two- and four-tops fill the rest of the room. Quotes from famous women painted above funky mirrors are morsels to digest during dinner, fare that favors earthy flavors like pork loin served atop apple and roasted fennel.

After being rained out of the cubs game we stumbled into this byob gem! We were soaked and not dressed to par, but we were greeted with smiles and warmth. Dinner was wonderful, the photography and decor is just gorgeous. I can't remember the last restaurant I was at where EVERYONE was so friendly and accommodating. I look forward to going back.

Had many meals at HB and always look forward to the next. The menu selections are limited but the specials are creative and always pleasing. Favorite starters include the baked Haloumi cheese, chicken liver and hazelnut pate, and catfish nuggets (special). The almond stuffed dates are sweet, but always good. The sometimes featured soft-shell crab main course is good, but a lot of messy work. Fish special is a favorite. Moroccan spiced lentil dish a disappointment. Mussels and broth lacked flavor last time. Desserts sometimes miss the target, however the maple bread pudding was scrumptious. Cozy, appealing atmosphere, can get loud. Service friendly, efficient and accomodating. Been to brunch once, great twists on some classics. BYOB a plus. Prices and portions reasonable.

HB is the Best place for brunch with friends. You want savory and sweet! Decadent and light! home made and simple, with a gourmet twist...meet your friends for an early Sunday brunch at HB. Service is friendly, attentive, and forgetful. Just like Mom. Their truffle fries are To DIE 4!!! Better than anything that I've had at Tru, moto, or Trotter. Snack on them or beignets (Sp?) served with chocolate, carmel, and powder sugar. ..before your breakfast. Hang overs disappear. Friday heartbreak - who cares? Don't count calories, just eat! And at the price, order both. Only problem- they stay packed after 12, and people refuse to give up their tables. If you don't get in early, you're out of luck. They'll stop taking names at 2...but there's always dinner.
