Hearth or Annisa?

[davidbdesilva]

Change of plans for our visit this weekend, we will be there Sunday instead of Saturday (deciding to avoid Valentine's Day thus the posting below about Little Owl). I know these are fairly different restaurants but which restaurant would you chose for the best overall experience? Both have multi-course options for about the same price, Hearth's wine list is much longer (and pricier!), Annisa looks more romantic while Hearth looks a little more casual. So, what are your opinions?

If you are looking for an avowedly romantic setting with excellent food, Annisa carries the day.

I second Oakapple's opinion. While Hearth is a very good restaurant and I enjoy it a lot, I think Annisa operates at a higher level in almost all areas. The food, ambience and service are all a level above.

I'll modify this one slightly: I'm currently debating between Wallse and Annisa for next weekend. Wallse's winter promotion looks excellent, although so does Annisa's whole menu. Thoughts?

This is a closer call, because they are roughly comparable. If it is meant to be a romantic meal, I think Annisa has a slightly more quiet, elegant ambiance—not that Wallsé is any slouch in that department, but Annisa coddles you a bit more. If food is the major consideration, you can have a wonderful meal at either one.
