   My girlfriend and I met some friends for an early dinner on Saturday night. We arrived early to have drinks and really enjoyed trying their house-made spirits. The house gin and tonic and the Up in Smoke cocktail that uses their house agave were two of our favorites. For dinner, we opted for sharing small plates. The burrata with brussels sprouts, the beef sliders, and the black eyed pea empanadas were our favorites. We probably would have ordered them again if we didn’t also get dessert. We’re excited to go back for brunch soon!

   Good spot for shareable small plates. Portions were decently sized. The food itself is always great!

   My parents (who are very, very picky) and I had an amazing Friday night dinner. I honestly wanted to order every dish on the menu. All that we ordered was spot on, 3 small plates and 1 main. We started with Burrata, roasted brussels, smoked butternut squash coulis, parmigiano reggiano, apples, balsamic reduction, house baked whole wheat bread and the Squash Risotto Roasted butternut squash, parmigiano reggiano, herbs, and Fried Red Potatoes with Mort's Lager beer cheese. But the highlight was the tenderloin with smoke tomatoes and potato souffle. A masterpiece of flavors and textures. Last but not least the apple crisp. All of the intricate components and sauces in each dish really complemented each other and elevated the vegetables and meat. The winter cocktails were warm and refreshing at the same time. The service impeccable. This is my 4th time eating here. So far every since dish and cocktail has not disappointed!

    Best restaurant I’ve been to in a while, they had empeñadas made with black eyed peas on New Year’s Day! I was almost proud 🥹. Also the shrimp and grits really reminded me I was in the south! Sick spot

    We enjoyed our NYE at Young Hearts. The drinks from the special cocktail menu were very good. The food was very good. I didn't give a five star rating because I was a bit disappointed there was no dancing. I am glad the weather was mild, we really enjoyed the rooftop open deck. One suggestion, after midnight you should serve something like biscuits and sausage to help guests absorb the alcohol.

    Unfortunately food is sub par and not worth the price. Second time visiting. Great service and drinks. Plus beautiful atmosphere. However, I don’t think we will try again because food flavor is lacking.

    The atmosphere an the service was amazing everyone was so nice. Their cider was fantastic an the food was great especially the steak and mashed potatoes. It’s definitely a spot that fills up fast so if your taking someone out for dinner their I recommend making a reservation in advance.

    Ladies Christmas party. Great food and service just a bit loud but I’m guessing that’s because we had a large party beside us. Would recommend!

    The worst restaurant experience I have ever had in my entire life. I was entertaining friends from DC which made the experience even worse. Some of the staff was horrible!! We had reservations at Young Hearts and the assistant manager, Kellie Murphy was extremely rude and aggressive. The restaurant called to change our reservation stating they couldn’t accommodate our party of 7 which we had reservations for and had to split our table into two tables and move our reservation back 15 min. Over the phone I said no worries on the change when we showed up we were 10 mins late to the reservation and they gave away our table. The front desk lady was so nice and said we could wait and we waited at the bar. The assistant manager came up to us at the bar and said it would be an hour wait because we were late and was extremely rude in her response as I was trying to explain the phone call moving our reservation back 15 min and she said that was impossible they would have that in their records and to prove it with my text or email and stood there until I could find the email/text. Trying to explain that it was done over the phone and my reservation was originally at 7:00pm and it was changed to 7:15pm over the phone. The assistant manager maybe we could find a bar that sucks less and next time maybe be on time.

    Went for brunch and honestly wanted one of everything on the menu but had to show restraint! Ordered the donut special, chicken sandwich, and sausage egg sliders with breakfast potatoes. Our waiter was also wonderful - very welcoming and knowledgeable about the business and cocktails. We'll definitely be back!

    We were seated on the second floor inside - it was extremely loud. There was a party of 8 people near us and one of the guests had a voice like an ambulance siren.it really resonated throughout the restaurant. Also, the steak entree was very disappointing. The chicken entree that my wife ordered was a generous portion. I thought the steak would be too. But it looked like a small plate. The potato creation that the steak came with was excellent. The food overall was good. But felt over-priced and over-complicated

    Definite must-try in the heart of downtown Raleigh. The mac and cheese, like other reviewers have noted, is some of the best I've ever had. The dishes place an emphasis on farm to table, and the servers were attentive and time was taken to explain the dishes as they were served. Excellent cocktails. Would go back again and recommend to others.

    Absolutely fantastic food and drinks! Took a friend from out of town to eat here, and we loved everything. The black garlic mac n cheese was a great small plate, and the smoked chicken gravy entree was easily the best food I have had in Raleigh; it is truly out of this world tasty. The paw-paw cocktail and paw-paw ice cream sandwich were also fantastic! Our server was also kind and attentive and the environment were just what we were looking for. Bravo, Young Hearts!

    Wonderful experience. Great hospitality by Jace. He made recommendations, served us, and made our drinks! Drinks are unique, fun and very tasty! They are made with their own distilled Gins, Vodkas and tequilas. All Tapas Plates are unique, locally sourced, seasonal dishes. We had a great time and we’ll be back!

    The drinks were some of the worst we’ve had in the Triangle and service was practically nonexistent due to a private party upstairs. The bartenders were forced to do double duty and while very nice were unable to act as both servers and bartenders in this circumstance.
