Hearth and Hill’s New Sugar House Location Is Open

Hearth and Hill has opened a second location in Sugar house. A ribbon cutting ceremony took place March 21 for the eatery by local restaurateur Brooks Kirchheimer. It’s part of the Hill Top Hospitality restaurant group that includes Hearth and Hill and Hill’s Kitchen, both in the Kimball Junction/Park City area, as well as the award-winning Urban Hill in downtown Salt Lake. The new Hearth and Hill is located at 2188 Highland Drive in The Residences at Sugar Alley. The Sugar House menu is similar to the Park City HH, with a few tweaks.

According to a company press release, “My co-owner Dad and I designed the original Hearth and Hill in Park City in anticipation of ultimately expanding to Sugar House, for which our accessibly priced, ‘gathering spot’ vibe is ideal,” said Brooks Kirchheimer, co-founder of Hill Top Hospitality. “We’re thrilled to finally join this wonderful community and its burgeoning culinary scene!” 

The Park City Hearth and Hill has won many accolades, including Salt Lake City Weekly’s “Best Restaurant in Park City” in its 2023 and 2024 readers’ polls.  Click here for my previous story about the Park City location; and here for my story about Hill’s Kitchen cafe & catering.
