Farm-to-table dining in the comfort of our home: that is the unique experience you will find at Urban Hearth. Located in a cozy North Cambridge storefront, our intimate dining room, knowledgeable, friendly staff, and exquisitely crafted menu are the heart of our dinner service. Join us for a la carte or at our chef's counter where you'll have the pleasure of interacting with Chef Erin Miller while dining.

We share a story of culture, community, discovery and home. The globally-inspired, locally-sourced dishes we serve celebrate our rich and complex connection with food. The table is set, whether marking a special occasion or the end of a busy day, we look forward to sharing the evening with you. We welcome private event bookings for graduations, birthdays, weddings and more. To equalize the pay disparity between tipped staff & kitchen staff during our busy times, we add a 5% kitchen appreciation fee to each check. We require 24 hours notice for all cancellations.

This was our first time here and we did the chef’s tasting menu. It was a true culinary adventure. I haven’t been this surprised and blown away by a meal in a long time.

Incredible from start to finish. The best beet I’ve ever had, the she-crab sauce transported me home to SC, and I’m still dreaming of the caramel custard. Thank you!

As I write this, Erin Miller was just named a James Beard finalist! As those of us who dine here know, there is no chef in the sentient universe more deserving of culinary and hospitality honors. Pls see my earlier review from Jan 31, 2025. Our March Experience at the chef’s table was equally superb. It is difficult to find new ways to describe perfection.

Truly a gem. Thank you Sam, Abby, and Kate for a wonderful evening! We ordered à la carte. The seasonal menu was approachable, yet challenging. The staff was so cohesive. We so appreciate them entertaining our line of questioning about wine and their ingredients and learning with us! Urban Hearth so well executes the farm-to-table experience and intentionality each food and drink item is clear. Our party of Wisconsin residents and natives was thrilled to see that the Badger Flame Beet, the child of a golden beet and carrot born at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, was featured as part of the beet carpaccio. This is just one example of how creative and research-driven Chef Erin Miller is. We thank Urban Heartb for being stewards of sustainable dining! We hope to return to Urban Hearth the next time we make it over from Wisconsin!
