We ventured downtown for our first visit to Heritage and were not disappointed. Parking is always challenging in the city but we managed to find a spot on main st not too far away. The restaurant has a cozy modern vibe with warm lighting. Service was friendly and relaxed but also impeccable. It was a Tuesday so we weren't going to get cocktails but "snuggled up in the alps" sounded too good to miss so we shared it and loved it. Very smooth. At first glance Heritage looks like eclectic American, but with a closer look, there are definitely many Asian influences. For apps we got the fried broccoli, butternut squash soup and soft boiled eggs. The Butternut squash soup was a nice change from the standard butternut soup that's usually on the sweeter side. This one had a coconut curry base that added a nice little kick and some great garnishments with pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and sourdough toast. Delicious.. The fried broccoli was decent, but honestly, I make a better roasted version, at home. The soft boiled eggs was an interesting appetizer with some tasty ingredients like chili crunch, scallion, and sesame but didn't care for the bluefin tomato sauce, which left an unpleasant fishy taste. For entrées, everyone enjoyed the local rockfish which was done perfectly and had a grain based risotto (farro) along with some delicious brussels sprouts, bacon and butternut squash. The black garlic Garganelli pasta was also very flavorful with rock shrimp, broccolini mushrooms in a Meyer lemon scampi sauce with Parmesan on top. I'm a sucker for Burrata which you can add for a hefty $7 extra but thankfully, my husband refrained and we found it really did not need it. The only entrée, that was a bit of a disappointment was the pork tonkatsu with Brussels, kimchi, fried rice and duck confit you'd think it would be a hit, but it just felt very bland. Needed something bright or acidic to complement the flavors IMO but I am not a professional chef lol The pricing felt a tad high especially with the high service taxes in the city, but we will probably still come back for another bite for a special occasion. The beautiful light snow that started while we were inside felt like a good omen to come back.
You will not be disappointed! Heritage is a must for those seeking joy in the form of food. From drinks to apps to mains, every bit of our meal was so wonderful. I cannot express that enough! The service was exceptional, the volume minimal though the restaurant was fairly full on a Saturday night. A great place to enjoy an evening with friends, family or colleagues! (Not pictured - the tuna tartare)
So the service was impeccable. They were awesome and wonderful. There was a slight mix up with one of our dishes and they were quick to remedy it and took it off the check without us saying a word. Everything we had was wonderful from cocktails to wine to appetizers to main course. The place is very cozy inside and despite the posh setting we did not feel out of place in jeans and a button down. I would go again just to try some of the other dishes and cocktails.
Waitstaff was excellent. Service was excellent. Cocktails were very excellent. Appetizers were amazing. The sea bass was cooked perfectly. The sauces, veggies, and risotto were outstanding. The steak was poorly made. A great friend and chef told me, if you want to send a message to the chef, send the food back and do not ask for anything else in return. Pay for the meal and tip your wait staff. The chef will understand. Never return your food and ask for it to be made again. I was far too hungry to do that. The steak was dry, lean, and was not medium rare. This is the first time in at least a decade that I ordered a steak at a restaurant. I usually cook them myself because I've been disappointed too many times. I thought this time $48 would be the price that would land me a decent steak. I gave my wife a bite to watch her expression. She was disappointed and she didn't even order it. Nor was she paying for it. I'm fairly certain the menu said "ribeye", but I either got a dollar store ribeye or a food Lion flat iron. I see their old menu lists the steak as flat iron. But that's not what was on my menu. I'm not mad at this restaurant. I don't think it actually deserves 3 stars. I'm just sending the message to whomever cooked the steak.
My sister and I dined at Heritage for the first time prior to the Samara Joy show at the Altria Theater. This was the perfect location for a pre.show dinner as the restaurant is conveniently located a few blocks up the street from the theater. Upon entering the restaurant, we were made to feel welcome by the hostess. We were escorted to our table & immediately approached by our server. She was courteous, welcoming & very knowledgeable about possible menu options. I ordered the fried green tomatoes as my appetizer & the Duck Breast as my entree. The food was fabulous. Each dish was cooked perfectly & the flavors meshed together well. So far Heritage's rendition of Duck Breast is my favorite in the area. For dessert, my sister & I shared the Pistachio Ice Sandwich. It was very taste. A combination of creamy & crunchy. The ambience of the restaurant was very comforting. It was minimalist in decor but very homey & welcoming. I definitely plan to return to Heritage to try more menu options.
Absolutely wonderful! Every dish was simply spectacular. Perfectly cooked, exquisitely flavored, beautifully presented and I could go on and on. We started first with some yummy cocktails that were not only fun to look at but with some uniquely yummy flavors. I really enjoyed the Aloe Poppet. It was refreshing! Then came the food. The ribeye was perfectly juicy and tender and so was the duck. Apparently their menu changes often but I've heard it's never disappointing. I seriously can't wait for my next trip to Richmond to try their next perfectly curated menu.
Food quality / price (value) rating 9.5. The atmosphere is a contemporary "shot gun" space which is tastefully decorated with high quality furnishings and a gallery style display of rotating local artists / painters works for sale. The menu is constantly changing, but the offerings are consistently high quality ingredients prepared properly and presented beautifully. The owners, Emilia and Joe, are not new to the restaurant business, and have experience operating a number of different venues. Emilia's training with the C.I.A. (Culinary Institute of America) and Joe's experience and command of the kitchen, guarantee an exceptionally pleasurable gastro experience. We started by sharing a snack of Fried Broccoli with an aioli dip. The florets had a unique texture that my mouth experienced for the first time, and leaves me without words to describe it. For an entree, I had the Petite Filet served along side of a wonderful unusual mix of vegetables and mushrooms (see the menu for a complete description). Everything was prepared and presented beautifully. The wife had the Garganelli Carbonara. The dish includes a house made pasta of a shape we've never seen, cooked perfectly al dente. To top off our evening, we each ordered a dessert, which was very unusual for us. I had the house-made Ice Cream Sandwich, which was just as incredible and unique as their dessert menu describes. The wife had the Candied Orange Cannolis (three), also house-made, and filled immediately prior to serving assuring a crisp, not soggy, shell. Both desserts were incredible! I'm told by the staff at Heritage that all menu items are offered for a limited time, so hurry and get here soon if you want to try the Ice Cream Sandwich. Our server, Kassandra, was knowledgeable, pleasant, and attentive, and the prices were reasonable for what we received. The building where the restaurant can be found is understated, so you may have to look twice to find it, but it is well worth the effort.
My last review was--10 years ago and: this restaurant is still and enduringly fabulous. Food, service, decor, location: first rate! Really special. Hostess for res, Mark as waiter, the chef's beautiful and tasty creations! My fav restaurant in Richmond. I travel for work; I better get another client so I can dine here sooner than 10 years from now! Outstanding! Just come here!
We decided to try heritage for the first time this evening and it was spot on at every point! We were welcomed as we came in for a 5 o'clock reservation and sat immediately. Our server was very nice and went over the specials for the evening right away, which I always enjoy. The mood was very laid back, but you could definitely dress up and have a date night, or grab a seat at the bar. They offer a few mocktails that were creative and different from the norm. We started with two appetizers and each had an entree. The food was great and coursed out perfectly. The pork fries on the snack portion of the menu were not what we expected, but we really enjoyed them and would have them again. We will definitely be revisiting heritage when in the Richmond area again.
Their hours are currently shortened and they only do pre-fixed at $75 a pop but if you're looking for a nice night out you should definitely try Heritage! Well known as a Richmond staple, Heritage continues to dish out interesting takes on American/southern food. And service is always wonderful :). From their three course offerings I got: - Tuna Tartare: not sure what those crackers were but every tartare should use them. Pumpernickel-esque and not too dry but with a perfect snap, they paired nicely with the tartare, which had a tangy sweetness to it from the seaweed and green onions. - Soft Shell Crab: huge portion size! I was pleasantly surprised at how large these soft shell crab were. They were fried and seasoned well and sat on top of a creamy, pickley potato salad. - Cheesecake Tart: what a fascinating take on a cheesecake. Typical cheesecake filling but in a buttery tart shell with crunch basil streusel and micro greens on top. Worked surprisingly well
***4.5 star It's been a decade since I've touched base here, and a first time for my wife. We were early for a reservation and were sat right away by a friendly member of the team in a nice window seat. Tonight was a prefix menu selection and everything down the line was a winner, start to finish. Service was pretty regular and attentive, always appreciated. Beer and whiskey list was more than solid, particularly the spirits. We will certainly be back sooner than my last visit!
I'm so glad Heritage is open again! They were closed for awhile during Covid. I went on a Friday night for dinner. They are currently doing a 3 course Pre-fix dinner. They had lots of great options to choose from! I started with the tuna tartar that was bomb.com! For my main I got the local fluke, which was a light airy fish that came with ramps, potatoes and oyster mushrooms. For dessert I got the chocolate hazelnut tart. Everything was delicious!! They also have a great cocktail menu as well. There menu is always changing though, so I know you won't get the same menu all year around.
Heritage made one of the best meals I've had in Richmond. I started with the fried oysters which came with an assortment of pickled vegetables. The combination of flavors was on point and helped to cut through any greasiness. For my entree, I ordered the pappardelle pasta with meat sauce. It was phenomenal. Potentially one of the best plates of pasta I've eaten. The pasta was cooked perfectly al dente and the sauce was so flavorful. I was full after eating half but ended up eating the whole thing because it tasted so good! I was really curious about the desserts, so I ended up trying the green tea "cheesecake", which was crazy good! It comes with cubes of dense green tea cake which was paired with fluffy "cheesecake" with candied ginger shaved on top. The ginger on top MADE the dish. What a perfect combination. I also tried the Nutella ice cream. A single scoop is only $1.50 so WHY NOT?! It was very good.
The Heritage.... nested in the fan on main St. One of the Hidden gems in the fan. The menu changes seasonally and there's always a pleasant surprise waiting for you discovered on the menu. If given the opportunity, please do order drinks from the bar, they take their mixologist very seriously and the cocktails are top notch. Right there on the same level as the Roosevelt, Laura Lee's ..it's fine dining at its best. The service is always excellent, the bartenders know you by name. It's a bucket list place to go. Softshell was in season and was on the menu and was delicious. One of the nice things about the Heritage is that it's a high quality restaurants with excellent service but it's very casual, I really enjoy that. It's worth while. Trust . read more
Even though I love their happy hour and dinner menu, I must say that I wasn't very impressed with their brunch. I went there on a Sunday morning with family and we ordered 4 different items on the menu thinking to try a little bit of everything. At the end they were all basically looking and tasting the same with very little difference. They have some egg entrees for instance and they come with house potatoes. You can choose your protein as an option. I ordered biscuit gravy with eggs and potatoes. I must say it wasn't bad but it wasn't somehow "Heritage" like. It was like you could get in any other diner. The omelette was almost a bit too bland, my husband used lots of hot sauce and salt to make it interesting. On the other hand, the cocktails were really good and the service was quick even though they were slammed. read more

I noticed this place was popular for brunch with other yelpers so I was anxious to try the dinner menu. We were having a girls night and with any girls night a good cocktail is a must. I loved the use of local liquor belle Isle and the unique cocktails menu. The dinner menu itself has 3 parts small(side items) ,medium(salads & soups), and large plates(main course). Our servier was amazing and very helpful to any members in our party that had a allergy or diet preferences(vegan,vegetarian,gluten-free ect). We started off with the croquettes which came with a smoked tomato aioli which honestly I could eat a basket by myself. Its has this cornbread outshell to it but it was so creamy and cheesy on the inside and that dipping sauce sooo good. My main course was the burger which I did ask for medium rare and it was more or the straight rare side but I didnt mind . I noticed while enjoying my burger that the onion jam made it sweater which I could have done without (get it on the side) . The girls did seem happy with their kale gemelli pasta which is great for a cold fall night. The best part of the night in my opinion was the DESSERT ! We got the chocolate candy bar and the carrot cake and to our suprise he brought us a complimentary cheesecake as well . The candy bar though was the BEST one ohh man I was gonna lick the plate. It not to sweet & every component on the dish was perfect together. I did notice when our servier was giving us recommendation alot of items like the pastas/burgers/desserts had add ons (which would be more $$$) so dinners beware. read more
Heritage has stolen my foodie heart! My boo and I decided to treat ourselves to Sunday Brunch after a long, stressful couple of weeks. After reading several of my fellow Yelpers detailed and mouth watering reviews I was sold. Off to Heritage we went. Upon arrival we were told it would be about a 45 minute wait. I definitely recommend making a reservation to avoid an extended wait time. The restaurant is small and very popular so I observed even patrons with RSVP had a bit of wait. But OMG..... It is worth every delicious minute of waiting. Every word spoken by about this place is true! Our waitress, Mary, was an absolute peach. She was cute and provided wonderful service. Mary made sure our experience at Hermitage was unforgettable. We started our meal with cocktails. What is brunch without some libations? I ordered the Long Walk and my boyfriend ordered the Mimosa. I definitely recommend venturing out of the norm and trying one of their creative concoctions. The Long Walk was simple but superb. The rum and champagne cocktail was the perfect compliment to my food. On to the star of the meal... The Big Hot Mess!!! My boyfriend ordered the chicken and waffles and it was good but his fork somehow kept finding his way to my plate. The Big Hot Mess is a big delicious creation. All the different ingredients and flavors play wonderfully off each other. From the crispy potatoes to the sweet pork belly, every bite of this dish will have you yearning for more. From the first bite I was transfixed! I am hooked and don't want to be set free. Heritage is now my brunch bae. read more
OH MY GOODNESS. Can I give this review six stars?!?! A small restaurant with big success. You're going to want to make a reservation especially during peak hours. Be prepared to have other parties seated fairly close by to you in this tight area, but I doubt you'll even notice the proximity when your taste buds are thanking the gods from above. I ordered the Big Hot Mess, Duck Hash, and their pancakes. I don't even have to close my eyes to remember my first bites into each of those dishes... There is a finesse in the composition of these foods--from the ingredients used to the way they cook them to crispy yet soft bites--that make the experience purely exquisite. The entrees were heavenly, to say the least, but I want to talk about the pancakes. I'm more of a waffles person....at least i used to be. In all of my life, there has never been a moment where pancakes have impressed me...until I tried these pancakes. It's hard to describe them but the texture is perfect! Warm, subtly sweet...fluffy but dense enough to feel the substance. Amazing. I actually ate the entire stack of pancakes before I finished my delicious entree because I was so impressed by how amazing pancakes could be! Worth every penny. One side note to mention is that there is no public parking that I know of, so prepare to parallel park somewhere near the restaurant! This is located in downtown, after all. read more

I HIGHLY recommend this place for Brunch. My husband actually took me out to Heritage on our first date for dinner and we did not enjoy it as well as we do now for Brunch. My husband and I went here to brunch this past weekend with a couple of his friends. I easily made reservation through this Yelp App (which i should admit, is pretty easy and WONDERFUL to use!). Anyways, back to food. We ordered mimosa and a bloody Mary to start our meal. I ended up getting the Duck Hash and my husband got the Big Hot Mess. The Duck Hash was a little bit salty but the flavors were still there and nicely seasoned - it had duck confit, caramelized onion, potatoes, & an over easy egg. I also ordered a side of pancakes because it's just so fluffy and hit the spot for me- haha - but the whipped butter and honey was the perfect amount of sweetness to the Duck Hash. As for the big hot mess, it has BBQ pork belly, potatoes, smoked cream cheese, tomato aioli, cheddar, and added the poached egg. The pictures alone will tell you how amazing this place is - haha. The dishes were amazing, the staffs were super friendly and helpful, the place is clean, and do I need to remind you how delish the food is?! Please just try this place at least once for Brunch. It really worth it. read more

I came to this lovely establishment for drinks and a quick dinner at the bar and had to come back for the brunch as the food was delicious, but for reviewing purposes, this is a review of the brunch. Made a reservation for 10:30 (when brunch begins) as I had to be at work at 12:30 today and I'm glad I did. By 11 a.m. almost all tables were filled, so be prepared. I sat at the booth by the window with three of my friends and after getting coffee we started reading up on the menu. The cocktails were amazing for brunch. About fifteen choices, including Mimosas and their home made Bloody Mary mix that can be made with Vodka, Tequila, Gin or Bourbon. My bourbon loving girlfriend ordered the bourbon Bloody Mary and it was incredible! Mattias, the owner and mixologist, makes incredible drinks and is very friendly. Don't be afraid to chat him up if you sit at the bar one night. Next up: FOOD! Pancakes, Nutella French Toast, Duck Hash Confit and Chicken and Waffles were dropped on the table. In true fine dining fashion, we all shared each other's dishes to compare and all were delicious. The French Toast were fluffy and I didn't need a knife to cut through them, not because they were soggy or runny, quite the contrary because they were cooked perfectly and the bread just split open like a fine filet mignon. Every bite of other's dishes were equally delicious. The duck hash was so good, I wish my stomach was twice the size so I could've ordered another order. Bottom line: If you have one Sunday where you are craving a delicious brunch with amazing cocktails in a comfortable casual setting with friendly waiters who are happy to be there to help you satisfy your brunching needs, this is the place. Clearly the owner has a rich heritage... read more

My boyfriend and I dropped by Heritage for late-night small plates and drinks. We ordered their smoked fish dip, a cheese board, and pimento cheese croquettes. Everything was delicious and very filling. The drinks were superb as well. We will definitely have to come back for dinner in the future! read more

Super delicious. Came here with my friends and despite sitting at the bar we still had amazing service. We came on Sunday brunch and had the Sausage Hash and mimosas. The mimosas were a little pricey. The bartender that worked Sunday morning on 10/6/19 was a hoot and helped cheer up my hungover friends! read more

If you are looking for a place to eat for Sunday brunch, Heritage is the spot for you. the place is small though so I wouldn't recommend coming in with more than 6 people. Parking is on the street but on a Sunday there should be plenty of good spots. If this is your first time here, you must go with the Chicken and Waffle. It is one of their most well known dish. Luckily we came at a good time and service was fast so our food came out less than 15 minutes after we ordered. The waffle is soft and crispy, the chicken is tender, but the star is the syrup. It has a tangy kick to it that you don't normally taste in other syrup. It was so good I have to ask for extra. My only critic is that I wish it was a little bit sweeter but then again, I have a very sweet tooth. read more

Made a return trip for their delicious brunch. The big hot mess just keeps calling my name. It's best to get a reservation, but I was luckily enough to get there while opening their doors. Staff is always prompt. Food is great. They also have a big hot vegan mess if that's a concern of yours. French toast on challah bread was great as well. read more

HEAVENLY. I truly cannot day enough good things about this cozy & romantic spot in the city. My husband and I have been searching for a favorite date night spot since moving to RVA last summer and nothing has stood out like Heritage. We were so pleasantly surprised with everything and just blown away by the end of the meal. We walked in on Saturday evening and were seated right away. Everything was SO wonderful - such a unique and creative menu, very fresh ingredients and very generous portions. The attention to detail and quality was apparent throughout. Flavors were delicious and the service was top notch. Just a really lovely, sweet restaurant perfect for any occasion. It's rare to find a place that is excellent on all levels but I know we have found our new favorite date night spot in Richmond! A++! read more
BEST BRUNCH IN RICHMOND. Literally don't @ me. Food came out at the perfect time, food was amazing. Brittany our waitress probably gave me the best service in all restaurants I've eaten in RVA. She literally came through and refilled our waters and drinks like 5 times, asked if we needed anything, so friendly and on top of her grind. Along with the other waiters that came along and cleared everything when she needed the extra hand. These are the kinds of places where I don't mind spending a little extra because the service makes the food that much better. This place was packed service was still absolutely superb, food was delicious warm, amazing. Such a savory unique taste and for real I want to go again. We came to brunch on a Sunday it's SO worth the wait I swear to you. Pictured: big hot mess, ramen, duck hash- ALL absolutely superb. I absolute recommend this place. read more
Heritage is one of the top 5 restaurants in Richmond. I have never gone and not enjoyed everything I tried. Last night was no exception. We started with fried broccoli and smoked fish dip. I wish that I just ordered 3 fried broccoli orders for my meal! I mean it's broccoli so it's healthy, right?! My bf said it was his favorite part of the meal. He tried the hangar steak for dinner. It had a yummy horseradish, mushroom puree. Good choice. Our friend got the scallops and loved them, but didn't offer to let me try (probably the last time I'll invite her to dinner). I went with the same thing I always get everytime I go- roasted chicken. Sounds boring, but, trust me, this is not your average chicken. The chicken is roasted to perfection. A de-boned thigh and leg served over amazing cheddar grits (and I know my grits!!!), sauteed kale and small bites of bacon. If you have not tried Heritage, do yourself a favor and make a reservation. Perfect for a casual dinner or romantic evening out. read more

Perhaps late spring in The Fan is coloring my review, what with no humidity and 72F, but my experience at Heritage was almost as perfect as the weather. We had reservations before a show at the Carpenter Theater, but there wasn't a soul when they opened. The bar and restaurant started to a get more hopping as we left around 6:30 PM, so popping onto their website to make a reservation for prime hours is probably a good idea. We were seated right away at a booth near the front windows - know that in front of the restaurant (outside) is where patrons go to smoke (RVA is still a strong tobacco town), so beware opening the window. Fortunately the only breaks people took while we were there were cell phone breaks; inane chatter beats smoke every time! We started with refreshing cocktails: a basil/strawberry vodka refresher and a house made ginger beer with a bourbon and citrus kick. Both my DC and I thought the bourbon looked good, but I'm glad that he made me try the strawberry cocktail. Fresh and refreshing. For apps, the chicken liver pate was creamy and light with it's tasty rhubarb compote accompaniment. We also tried the house made charcuterie plate: solid, meat sliced paper thin, and accompanied with excellent pickled veggies and a nod to the south, some pimiento cheese. DC's entree was the bucatini pasta with meatballs and buratta - homemade noodles made this a worthy carb splurge. I had the duck breast - it had a roasted and crisp layer of skin and unctuous fat that reminded me of perfectly cooked bacon. (Duck bacon, awesome!) Perfect cooked medallions of breast were arranged on a farro base (must have been cooked in duck stock) that managed to be healthy and full of flavor at the same time. Too stuffed for dessert, but the staff beer was a perfect ending to the meal. (I'm a sucker for a coozie!) read more

Cute and quaint little brick restaurant in the heart of the fan on Main St. The food was fantastic and the service was great too. Our waiter was very informative and even gave us a free cheesecake at the end of our meal. I ordered the kale pasta which was delicious (the only critique I might have would have been to cook the butternut squash a bit more). My friend got the burger which looked fantastic too. The dessert is where this place blew me away. We ordered the candy bar, carrot cake and like I said he gave us the cheesecake too. If you save room for dessert, you just have to get the candy bar!! It is to die for! Marshmallow, graham cracker crumbs, Nutella ice cream, crispy things on top; it was amazing. I'll definitely be back. read more
Visited this place with a friend for dinner. I like that you can make a reservation online, that's super easy. The drinks were very good though I will say quite pricey, but then again that seems to be the norm for downtown Richmond. I ordered the pimento cheese croquettes for an appetizer and they were the best thing I've eaten. Cooked to PERFECTION. I ordered the scallops for dinner and they were good. For dessert I ordered a cup of sorbet which was SUPER sweet, not really my thing but ok. My friend ordered a cheesecake and got the weirdest dish. It was like graham cracker crumbs, cream cheese ice cream, a weird gelatinous thing, and some sauce on a plate. Not a cake at all.... just ingredients when you put together made a cake taste? She said it wasn't bad but the description on the menu needs to be changed cause when they brought her dessert we were both like uhhhhhhh. read more
I went with a friend for sunday brunch. The atmosphere was nice, very modern with contemporary colors. It was busy but we were seated right away. I got the Salmon Benny which I thought was okay, not as flavorful as I would like. My friend got the pulled bqq and it was delicious! It was called the "hot big mess", which makes sense because it was a scramble of the pulled bbq pork, cheese, etc. The price is a little bit more expensive considering you can go to other places around the area for a little cheaper but the portion size definitely makes up for it. They're huge! read more

I would give Heritage more of 3.5 star rating but I was rather disappointed after reading all of the Yelp reviews and all the recommendations from friends on Heritage. Perhaps, they were having an off night or we just ordered the wrong dishes. The ambience and environment of Heritage is great - casual, hip, small, and intimate. My friend and I had reservations which I'm not sure if you can get in at a table without one as they were extremely busy even at 8pm. We ordered a bottle of cabernet which I think was my favorite part of the meal then we started with the pork belly appetizer which I was not a fan of. I was extremely excited because I love pork belly and heard such wonderful things on Yelp about the pork belly but the consistency was a little too soft for me. Entrees were great - we ordered the Golden Tilefish and the Wagyu Beef, cooked medium rare to perfection. Dessert, we ordered the vanilla bean cheesecake which was a deconstructed cheesecake which was yummy. My experience overall was good. I was expecting a lot more based on reviews and recommendation. I think without expecting anything I would have rated this higher. read more

Went here for brunch one morning and I had to say I was impressed! Everybody's food looked delicious so it's hard to say if there is anything bad on the menu. I ordered the chicken and waffles and boy were they delicious! My only complaint is that I wished that the amount of protein included was bigger. If that were the case I would have rated this place a half star higher! Great service, decent price, and definitely worth checking out for brunch one morning! read more
My girlfriend and I asked our friends on Facebook where we should eat after we missed the last showing of The Art of the Flower at the VMFA and decided to stay over and the only restaurant anyone recommended was Heritage. We called on a Saturday night and they were booked. I called back and asked about bar seating. "Maybe, there might be a couple opening up." We took out chances. When we arrived, there were six seats open at the bar. It only got better from there. I started with a vodka 50/50 Martini and Pimento Croquettes -- delicious. Then, we saw a table snacking on a bowl of shrimp crackers sprinkled with kim chi spice -- a mandatory purchase, though you wouldn't think so. We then had the beet salad and some other salad (I can't find it on the menu). My girlfriend doesn't eat meat so we kept vegetarian. We ordered the mushroom garganelli pasta with spinach, a poached egg, and spring squash and the house made rigatoni pasta with buratta cheese -- we thought the mushroom pasta more than anything we've ever eaten. We finished with both the "candybar" and strawberry and rhubarb dessert. We finished the night with Underberg bitters with a Pilsner back. The night was perfect and I felt like I had a true chef's table experience even though we merely dropped in from the street. According to my globe-trotting foodie girlfriend who is in the events planning business, it's the best meal she has ever had, bar none. It's worth making the trip down I-95 from Metro Washington to have dinner at Heritage. Do it, you won't regret it. read more
Heard so many great things about this place, I just had to check it out for myself. Made a reservation on Yelp which came in handy because the place was popping during 12pm. The service was relatively quick and the customer service was great. The manager was the one who was seating people and setting up the tables, she was very sweet and accommodating. We were seated within minutes, most likely because of our reservation. The inside of the restaurant is cute and cozy. Feels like you're in someone's house. The place seems kind of small but it surprisingly fits a lot of people. We were greeted immediately by our server. She was friendly and helpful, I had asked her if she thought the "Big Hot Mess" or the "duck hash" was better. She suggested the "duck hash" and I loved it! Duck hash ($12): basically potatoes, duck pieces, with fried eggs and hollandaise on top. - the duck was extremely moist and so delicious - the eggs were perfectly made - the hollandaise was superb; good citrus flavor - the only thing I didn't like much were the amount of potatoes; I thought there were just big pieces and I didn't finish em. Nutella French toast ($10): - so sweet and delicious - the French toast itself was moist but still had a crunch to it. - the batter was not overly sweet because that would be too much along with the Nutella Cons: - mimosa was kinda pricey ($7) - there's a wait if you didn't make a reservation - gets pretty crowded Overall, I had a great time. I'd say this is one of my favorite brunch places to go to now. 10/10 I'd come back all the time. read more
