The story
Since opening in fall 2016 on Franklin Avenue, Hart's has become a beloved fixture in its Brooklyn neighborhood. It's the kind of place where the menu changes daily, driven by what's freshest from local farms. The kitchen works with the best ingredients available, letting the seasons dictate the offerings. This commitment to quality and simplicity has earned Hart's a Michelin Recommended designation, a nod to its consistent, honest cooking. The food, with its Mediterranean sensibility, is both refined and approachable.
Every evening, the dinner menu reflects the day's market finds. There are no fixed signatures; instead, the team crafts dishes around what's ripe and ready. This approach gives regulars a reason to return often, knowing there will always be something new. The food is straightforward, letting the ingredients speak. The menu, with its Mediterranean accent, changes daily, focusing on local produce and sustainable sourcing.
Hart's is open every night from 5:30 to 10:30 PM. Reservations are accepted for indoor seats year-round, and the restaurant always keeps room for walk-ins. From April through October, the patio opens, offering outdoor dining on Franklin Avenue. These patio seats are first-come, first-served, adding a spontaneous, communal feel to the warmer months.
Hart's belongs to a small group of New York restaurants that includes Cervo's, The Fly, Eel Bar, and Minnow. Each has its own personality, but they share a commitment to great food and genuine hospitality. Hart's also caters events, bringing its cooking to offsite gatherings and private parties.
