Hearthside

We finally got to try Hearthside, 801 Haddon Avenue, Collingswood, NJ ;08108 (856-240-1164), on Friday, June 14, 2019, after securing reservations 2 months ago! Hearthside is a BYOB, which describes itself as serving "contemporary American fare from a wood-fired oven & grill, plus pastas." We were not disappointed.

Patrick, our server, was very knowledgeable and personable. Everyone helps each other out, which makes for a pleasant experience.

Small plates that we shared:

Gulf Prawns, with garlic, chili, lemon, and parsley.
