Great locatioin, tapas and some mains. Engaging staff, best to book but they squeezed us in. Wonderful home made soup, my pasta of scallops and pesto a bit gloppy. Still a good choice. read more

Service was great. Menu easy to understand. Beer and food were great. Portions were GIGANTIC. We left with take away boxes full of unfinished mains. Mac's might not be the most impressive beer by craft beer enthusiast standards, but it's an easy crowd pleaser so there's that. I'd definitely do it again. Oh, and the raspberry julep beats a Kentucky Derby classic mint julep. And I live in Louisville.

Easily walk in and take a seat by the window, enjoy the colorful glasses of the time reflections, breathe in, prepare a few minutes for your order.

Mushroom, salami, peppers, chili, and the simple smell of the wheat. Mingling with the fire, the genuine human wisdom and intelligence. Key factor to form a good Italian meal.

Sophisticated coffee spot in the industrial neighborhood of Dunedin. We found this spot while…read morehunting for murals along the Dunedin Street Art Trail. Along with having a prime location along the pedestrian only strip of Jetty St with easy parking along Vogel, it has great art just outside and also inside the courtyard area. The fact that paint buckets and scaffolding had been set up inside didn't deter people at all from collecting inside Heritage, a testament to the effort put into designing the cafe. Our experience was determinedly efficient yet friendly. As a full service cafe, Heritage offers all your caffeinated needs along with a solid pastry, sandwich, and salad selection. Still and sparkling water are self-serve, but all other in-house orders are hand-delivered to your table. There's a range of seating options too: outdoor tables, a long counter perfect for people watching, and booths. Somehow everything fits neatly into the space without seeming patched together. According to the website, booths can be booked in advance too. My family enjoyed our Flat Whites and a Mocha (served with two marshmallows). The Friand had raspberry filling inside, and actually tasted more like sweet rice flour than almond flour - delicious even if it wasn't what we were expecting. I haven't been this excited by a bathroom for a while, but hopefully once you've made the trip you'll be excited too. Look for the door that's perfectly camouflaged along the wooden wall of the courtyard to find three separate bathroom stalls. Amongst the sparkling white furniture, something seems amiss. Before you drip your washed hands all over the floor, check behind the mirror for some truly efficient use of space (and paper towels)!

The first was out of business, the second offered a hot stone, so you can cook your own lamb (no thanks, I'm out to eat, please have the trained chef cook my food) and Lone Star. Knowing its Texas influence, I was worried that my vegetarian wife would be left eating salad. Nope, there were four vegetarian "mains" and none were devoid of nutrients (aka pasta and veggies). I chose Lone Star. We were seated quickly by an upbeat host and asked to sit in the corner table, to which he obliged. Our server was friendly and down to earth and we got mushrooms and a salad for a starter and the mushrooms were delish! The salad also hit the spot. For mains, I got the lamb shoulder with mashed taters and asparagus, peas and spinach mixed together. It was aesthetically pleasing and I had the runner load up my potatoes with fresh cracked pepper. My wife's burger was HUGE and the chips (fries) were plentiful. We had 2 large Diet Cokes with lotsa ice and a pitcher of water, not a little carafe that I can drink in 3 gulps. The desserts looked great, including Hokey Pokey ice cream, but we passed. Our bill was $88 NZD ($59 USD). Well worth it.
