Härth

I came here during a business trip with some colleagues. The scallops were gritty with sand and foul smelling. They were exchanged for the shrimp pasta, which was better. Shrimp was overcooked but the pasta was cooked perfectly (al dente). My food = 2.0 stars.My coworker's mushroom flatbread pizza was 5 stars -- very flavorful. Breakfast buffet this morning was much better than dinner, consisting of bakery quality baked goods and healthy choices, as well as traditional fare. 4 stars.Friendly, attentive service. 5 stars.Beautiful, high quality ambience. 5 stars.Overall: 4 stars

Harth is the restaurant in the Hilton Hotel in McLean. We have been enjoying the Harth Lounge and this review is for the morning breakfast. They had a selection of breakfast meals to include a Continental Breakfast and a full Buffet breakfast. While the full buffet is a bit pricey ($30), frankly it's not atypical for hotel restaurant breakfasts these days. The full buffet does include coffee and orange juice. Service was good and the waitress was attentive. My food from the buffet was very tasty.

The restaurant proper was closed because of the Thanksgiving holiday but we were able to sit in the bar area and order from basically the same menu. Food was amazing - be sure to try the whipped feta appetizer. Bar staff very friendly and helpful.Edited to add Breakfast review:We were able to eat breakfast inside the restaurant proper which was quite the visual feast - lots of natural light and light colored wood, contemporary gas fireplaces galore, and striking boho lighting that sprouted wooden palm fronds. Your choices for breakfast are the continental buffet, full buffet, or you can order off of the menu. My husband ordered the full buffet because he wanted eggs and because it included coffee and juice. I ordered the French Toast and a cup of coffee. The French Toast got an "A" for Appearance but was also delicious. Cost wise it was a splurge but worth it in my opinion. Service was fast and friendly. Recommend!

Two weeks ago, I stayed at Tysons Corner Hilton for a week while attending a work conference. While the experience at the hotel overall was less than stellar, the Harth dining experience was quite the opposite. My team arrived at this establishment on Thursday at 6 PM with a party of 13. While my team didn't have a reservation, the establishment was able to accommodate us within 5 minutes of us arriving. After we were seated, we collectively ordered every 'small bite' possible. However, I tried two of those that were ordered, which included Hunters Board and the Calamari. Hunters Board: This board had cheddar, Asher Blue, Providence Goat, beef salami, lomo, Chesapeake salami, and olives. I was "wowed" by the Asher Blue. This cheese had a slightly pungent, mushroomy aroma and was earthy and mild. This cheese also had a creamy-crumbly texture as it has a semi-firm consistency, being soft, dense, and hard all at the same time. I actually ate a whole wedge off of one of the boards that was ordered. The lomo was also a standout for me as it was tender, juicy, and slightly salty. This paired well with the Asher Blue. For folks who haven't experienced lomo, it's like beef tenderloin, which is one of the most tender and leanest cuts of meat. Calamari:The slightly charred calamari was perfectly crisp and tender. The combination of cumin and peppers was 'punchy' but not overpowering. Main Dish: Aside from the bites, many main courses were ordered by the group. I ordered Casarecce Pasta with shrimp. I thoroughly enjoy a good casarecce as its shape makes them perfect for holding sauces. The sauce for this dish was perfect as the Mascarpone cheese was slightly sweet and a tad bit tart, which balanced out the garlic used for the dish. As a group, we ordered just north of 1k worth of food and drinks. The service we received was timely and pleasant. If I were in the area again, I would frequent this location again.

I went to this place twice. Once for dinner, due to me staying at the hotel, and just needing something and once for breakfast, because it's at the hotel.Let's discuss breakfast first. In hindsight, I should have gone Avocado Toast because it probably had seasoning.Instead, I chose the omlette with egg whites, spinach, and mushrooms. I also went with the wood fired hash browns (it's an included option) and added a bagel toasted with butter as an add-on.The omlette came with tomatoes, which wasn't on my selection and no mushrooms. It's a regular size omlette but I always eat only 50%. It had zero seasoning. Zero flavor. The hash browns were greasy and just not good. Four bites and move on.They have only plan bagels. PLAIN. How is this possible, when I've been to a Hilton in Turkey that had an everything bagel and other options. The best component of said breakfast - the bagel.Dinner. As a flexitarian limited choice awaited, since a mussel or clams, which uh there is this thing called the bay near you that has them wasn't on the menu. Shrimp was a no-go, either. I went with the Honey chicken breast with root veggies.I selected this because it was my only choice being a flexitarian, and I didn't want the 100% veggie thing that would have worked. Just needed some protein.Plus, it lists it as wood grilled or on their flame thingIf I hadn't read on another Yelp review that the honey comes from their own Honey Bees thing on the roof, I'd have no idea.The chicken had that nice honey flavor and was very juicy. But had I not read, it was wood grilled, I'd have no idea. I should have tasted every so slightly that smoked flavor, IMO. Anyway, it was good. Large portion. I ate just 50%.The root veggies were heavy on brussel sprouts, which were Charred and not in a bad way. What's with the love of these nasty buggars? Just say the dish is Brussel sprouts and call it even.I couldn't figure out if the light sauce that was on the other veggies, green beans, and whatver else veggie was there, was the walnut dressing they added to the arugula that had the chicken on, because my server had no clue.I asked if the veggies were sprinkled with some light Parma cheese or something like that because it was hard to gauge. He didn't know.I got sick afterward, back in the room, and my gut (no pun here) tells me it was whatever was on the veggies, it might just be that walnut thing, and an allergy hit, but it was something in that liquid. At least I scored a weight loss for the meal. In that case, thanks???

I'll start off by saying this place is getting 4 stars from me considering it's a hotel restaurant, otherwise it would get 3. The restaurant itself is nice, quiet, simple and modern. The staff are all super nice and really make you feel like they're taking care of you. We went and I guess there was some audition taking place at the hotel and the night felt like chaos. The service was extremely slow and even the manager had to come and apologize everything was taking so long. She offered us a free dessert, but we were there so long we just wanted to leave. Anyways on to the food, the broccoli was pretty good! Interesting take on broccoli! The flatbread was nice - not too hot or sweet. My husband enjoyed his steak and thought the chimichurri was a nice touch. I had the sea scallops that were pretty good, but was not a fan of the purée and fixings. For a hotel restaurant, the food was better than expected. Also more expensive than expected.. basically spent what I would've going somewhere in DC! Check them out if you're staying at the Hilton, otherwise there's better spots in McLean!

Harth is located in an extremely beautiful hotel that elicits a new wave, futuristic vibe, and the restaurant, Harth, is situated just to the left of the hotel bar, far enough removed that you will not be bothered by any noise from the lobby/bar.My girlfriend and I were in a rush to make a night bus tour of the DC area so we split a charred broccoli salad. It was very unique as it had no lettuce! Just a bunch of healthy greens, some fruit and / or pecans, topped off by adding the protein of chicken. The chicken was warm and very delish. To our surprise it cost $10 to add the freaking chicken! All in the salad was close to $30!! When you are on vacation you are meant to spurge, and I enjoyed everything about this stop in before the DC night tour and if you are in the area definitely recommend stopping in to experience it for yourself.As always people SYOY!!!

I liked the convenience of the restaurant being in the hotel since I was only there overnight. I dined here alone because I was traveling for work. The space itself is very beautiful really enjoyed the atmosphere there. It was a quiet early evening. I ordered a smoked old fashioned and it was okay. I've had a lot of old fashioned drinks and this one hit the mark on its booziness but not necessarily on balance. I think maybe it needed to be stirred or perhaps there was a little too much of one thing or just what my pallet wanted? Again, not bad but not amazing either. I only had one. I had the burger with no bun and ordered it medium. It was a little too pink but I like things rare so it wasn't a dealbreaker and it tasted great. The side of vegetables were REALLY good. Their cappuccino was a great nightcap although I asked for a decaf but was up all night so not sure if it actually was decaf :PThe best part of my experience here was the staff, as they were extremely friendly. I loved that I never ran out of water which is something I have come to appreciate.

Only dined here for breakfast and they have a good selection to choose from. I'm a sucker for buffets, and this one didn't disappoint, albeit wished they offered one other dish to warrant the $28 full breakfast buffet: smoked salmon. Almost all of the the same level of hotels do offer this in their breakfast buffets. Their continental buffet is above average if u want to eat pastries and cold items like yogurts, parfaits, cereal, and pastries table. As others mentioned, this restaurant is very nice key decorated with fire abound and lots of bright natural light coming in. Our server was very attentive, got our drink orders and also mentioned we can get cook to order eggs and omelette. Score! Over medium eggs and omelette were great. Same with the abundance of bacon and pastries. We were very pleased and will come back next time!

Let's talk Härth at the Hilton McLean Tysons Corner. I saw their ad in this group for a three course meal for $49 per person. We went to the restaurant and were welcomed by Rachel, the food and beverage director.We were the first customers tonight and it turns out they have only recently opened for dinner with a new French chef, Laurent Hollaender.We ended up not ordering from the prix fixe menu, even though it's a great deal with the filet mignon itself being $49. It will be there through July. We shared the excellent calamari and I saw tarte flambee Alsacienne on the menu but the waiter didn't know much about it.I wanted to know if it was anything like the Flammkuche or Tarte Flambee we know from southwestern Germany and the Elzas.Chef Laurent himself came to our table and he actually grew up in the Elzas (it's where my husband's family comes from).He personally vowed the tarte flambee is authentic and it is! I can't tell you how excited we are! We have not *ever* found a true Flammkuche in the US! The charcuterie plate is all locally sourced cheese and meats and Laurent is clearly excited about everything here.To end our meal Laurent and Rachel sent a plate of scallops and they're amazing! The carrot puree and capers, pine nuts and other ingredients we didn't recognize are the perfect companions.Other things that we learned is that their honey is very local. They get it from the bee hives on the roof of the hotel.Besides that they have their own hydroponic herbs. We love the sustainable cooking, Chef Laurent, and all we ate. Go check out Härth!
