I was hesitant about coming here for the longest time based on the mixed reviews, but a friend wanted to come here to celebrate her new job so four of us went last Sunday for brunch. I was pleasantly surprised and overall really enjoyed the food and experience. Our server, Kailynn, was great. She was friendly and attentive and checked on us throughout the meal. We got there early and drinks and food arrived quickly. We ordered a few appetizers and entrées and I tried two different cocktails, and I don't have a complaint about any of the dishes. I love spicy drinks so I started out with the Slow Burn cocktail and it was delicious, perfectly spicy without being overwhelming and also refreshing. For my second drink, I had the Snowing in Miami, which was also delicious and well crafted. I'm a completely amateur mixologist at home and I appreciate a well-made drink with no mixers or too much sweetness. We ordered several appetizers, including the sweet potato hush puppies, and the crispy pork belly. The hush puppy was well cooked and crisp on the outside, creamy and smooth on the inside and overall a nice dish. The crispy pork belly was outstanding. It was meaty, full of umami, both salty & sweet and the cool slaw on top was perfect. For entrées, I had the waffle and fried chicken. The chicken was a bit dark, but overall it was very well seasoned and the waffle was delicious although I would deduct a point because it was served with pancake syrup and not pure maple syrup. They really think about the extra touches that tie all the flavors together and the honey butter on the salty chicken was perfect. I tried a bite of my friend's BEC flatbread and again, it was delicious. It was a nice contrast of textures and flavors, and the paprika aïoli was well seasoned without being too smoky or spicy. By the time we finished around 12:45, the restaurant was quite busy. We all enjoyed our food and I would definitely visit again with my family. Hopefully my next experience is as good as the first. I was curious to try the unlimited mimosas, but unfortunately had to drive so next time.

The food! Yum! Brunch on a Sunday with friends. The deviled eggs is nothing you've ever had, trust me, it's so good. I had the BEC flatbread, my friends had mussels(that sauce is everything) and the potato pancake, we all shared and all loved. We sat at the bat with great service feom the young lady tending it. Drinks were great, I had the Snowing in Miami. I can't say enough about this place except ro go have a meal. We went early, stayed over 2hrs&the place was packed when we were leaving on a Sunday, so I could only imagine during the week.

My wife and I love eating at Heritage. We have been there several times the staff welcomes you with open arms from the hostess all the way to the waitress/waiters and bartenders. The ambience is so warm with no bad seat in the restaurant. A sure fire place to be if you are in the area. Thanks to everyone keep up the great work.

Street corn Deviled eggs were decent - good savory flavor with a hint of sweetness from the corn. Although next time I would try the croquettes. Brick Chicken - for how basic chicken is, it is surprisingly tender and juicy, along with the delicious sauce, and appetizing crispy potatos. Debated with getting seafood boil, Lamb birria was a bit too salty, and the dish could use more cabbage and citrus in it. It's in the name but I'm not sure where the "crispy" comes in. Beer Mac n cheese was the best thing here - I am assuming the beer gives it a tangy flavor, which I am a huge fan of. Would get again 10/10. Pleased with Prompt service for water refills. The restaurant itself has a nice dim vibe, good for date night or groups.

Friends of ours visit this restaurant every time they're in the area so we decided to join them. A group of about 10 of us started with dinner and drinks in the dining area. I honestly understand why they enjoy it so much - totally our style. Fun, elevated atmosphere, great food, great service, and just an overall exceptional experience. I failed to take pics of the food but I tried a little bit of everything from wings to the mussels I ordered and it was all really good. The mussels was a HUGE portion. Supposed to be an app but honestly it was large enough to be my meal - I barely finished it. As dinner was wrapping up about half of us made our way to the bar to check out their bourbon selection - it was better than I expected. The lead bartender was AWESOME!! We had so much fun w him. He was very helpful and knowledgeable. Very generous with the pours too. We're up this way a couple times per year and the next time we visit I will be sure to stop by here!

First off I was hemming and hawing about coming here because people have said the food is expensive and the portions are small. The reviews are not stellar but Hubby wanted to try it so here we are. I have no idea what the heck everyone is talking about. The food is AMAZING and the entree portions are generous and ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS!! Let's start with our server. He was nice and attentive although we found the service slow to start. The restaurant space is beautiful and I bet it's extra nice in the evening when you can appreciate the lighting. I was a bit chilly so bring a sweater. I got the jalapeño deviled eggs and they were so so good that I wished for an entire plate. Nice and creamy with a little kick. I did wish it had a lot more jalapeños. Hubby got the ribeye steak tips and they were grilled perfectly. Nice and red inside with a nice char and the flavor was nice. I just love that beef flavor when it's not masked by too much sauce. Dinner was impressive when delivered to our table. The chicken Milanese was delicious. The two chicken cutlets were crispy and hot with a beautifully dressed arugula salad on top. I wished I could've had some of that salad too! My brick chicken was hot, super crispy and juicy served on top of beautifully cooked potatoes and roasted peppers. You know when they cook those potatoes perfectly creamy on the inside but crispy and flavorful on the outside? Yeah...that's what I'm talking about. Everything sitting on top of a nice kicking sauce. I can't believe I was being a doubting Thomas about this place. Come and enjoy a nice dinner with your hunny. It's so worth it. The dessert menu looked good and they had Cuban coffee but we were too stuffed. PS stopped to use restroom before we left. Clean and smelling nice.
