Some of the best food I've had in a while. Portions are small. For appetizers, we had the fried broccoli and fish dip. The fish dip didn't really taste like fish at all, but it tasted good. The fries broccoli was lightly fried and crispy, with a decent amount of salt. For entrees, we had the rockfish and a Lemon-parsley pasta. They make their own pasta every day, so it tastes fresh and delicious. Finally, the service was excellent! The waiter knew all the dishes in detail and was very articulate. read more

I had only heard great things about this place so I had to check it out for brunch. It was pretty packed but there wasn't a wait for 2, so we were seated right away. The wait staff was very attentive. The food was just ok. The menu is very limited and as a vegan there's only one option, though I was satisfied, however my omnivorous friend wasn't impressed by the selections. read more

The server we had was AMAZING! He was like a ninja sneaking us all the things we needed including the last bit of their homemade hot sauce. My husband ordered the corpse reviver and it was so tart he had a hard time finishing it. I had the French toast and I felt like it could have been a little better (the center was pretty dry). But I would absolutely recommend this place, we had a great time! read more

Great atmosphere, excellent service, and delicious menu. I had the vegan hot mess, husband had the rockfish and grits, and we split a side of pancakes. The pancakes were melt-in-your mouth good! Would definitely make the trip here again. Great flavors and chef-inspired menu. read more

This is an awesome brunch spot. Before one of my friends picked this for her birthday brunch, I had never heard of the place but I'm glad I know it now. The mimosas are huge and the food was delicious. I ordered the biscuits and gravy. It came with two eggs and potatoes. My plate was full! I was stuffed but didn't want to put my fork down. I definitely recommend Heritage. read more

This lives up to the hype from my family in the area, who love this place. My husband and I went last night, ravenous after an afternoon of drinking and watching the World Cup. We started with the charcuterie (diverse, great blend of savory meats and sweet spreads), then had a Wagyu beef burger and fries (me) and hangar steak (him) for our entrées. Both were medium-rare and delicious. We split the chocolate bar for dessert and my husband said it was a standout, high praise from him. I found it a tad too rich, but I was already pretty full. We also split the Abraxas dessert cocktail and that really warmed up our tummies after a big meal. The staff was great, it's a charming space that knows exactly what it is and doesn't go for frills and weird aesthetic touches over quality food and drink. read more

I've been here multiple times for brunch and once for dinner, and not only is the service exceptional, the food is mouth watering deliciousness! read more

My friends and I ate there on Saturday for a celebratory birthday. Phenomenal experience from start to finish. The food was unbelievable, great portions, inventive and playful menu items paired well with our cocktails! The wine selection was great; loved the keeping with only domestic bottles, and our server was very knowledgeable and helpful with helping us pick our bottle of white. Best part of the evening was when the check came.....such a steal! I love that the owners had the foresight to keep the menu priced at such a level that mirrors the economy and mind-set of the times. I will be back as much as I can, and continue to recommend to friends. read more

Had a great experience here! Our appetizer and entrees were on the smaller side, I left a little hungry. The steak was cooked perfectly, and the mahi mahi was light and seasoned well. The guest bartender was awesome! But again, small drinks for $10. Overall, I would recommend eating here. read more

I came here for dinner and it was amazing from start to finish. The waitress was awesome I wish I got her name. She was extremely attentive and training someone and they are going to get top notch training. I ordered the cheese plate which was delicious and the wasabi mustard was a pleasant surprise. I also got the house salad and it was incredible. Yes a plain house salad only it was far from plain! The house made lemon vinaigrette was subtle. It had a watermelon radish as well as carrots and the leaves were perfectly flavored with lemon. I thought I'd heard of all vegetables but I'm in love with that new radish. My guest ordered tuna tartar and the rockfish with fingerling potatoes. I'm pretty sure I saw him lick the plate. I ordered the pasta with lemon ricotta and English peas. It was decadent! I saw a few people had reservations for birthday dinners with family. The atmosphere is amazing, it's not a huge spot. The bar is a feature all on its own... the amount of choices were astounding! The bartenders technique was so classic and a show in itself. Do yourself a favor if your nearby. read more

My friends and I came to Richmond for a wedding and this is where we ended up for dinner. It was awesome. We had the pork belly for an appetizer and it was really incredible--the smoky pork contrasted wonderfully with the kimchi they added. I had the rockfish and it was also an excellent entree. I recommend the 'I Ain't Scared' for a cocktail. read more

I love this place! Great food and great staff! Love the menu! Beautifully decorated, perfect date spot! Cocktail menu is always changing with great specials! The chef is the best! You can tell he really puts in his time and effort into each meal. Never had a bad experience here!! read more

Decided to come here for drinks on a Tuesday or Wednesday last week with a buddy. I've driven by many times and heard multiple reviews of their late night menu and brunch. It's a really cozy environment. We decided to sit at the bar, it was almost 10, which is when the kitchen closes, so the bartender encouraged us to put in an order if we intended to get food. We came in for drinks but upon a glance at their menu...we were hooked. I ordered the rockfish entree with ratatouille and polenta for 25 dollars. My friend ordered the duck entree, and I believe his was 28 dollars. He also ordered a glass of red wine, although they did have quirky named cocktails so it was a hard decision. The food was excellent, the only thing was it was a tiny portion for the amount. It's definitely not a casual dining experience. You're going to be spending if you want to be full. I want to come back to try the garlic pasta; I've read multiple reviews that recommend it. I can say I recommend the rockfish, and Heritage, especially for date nights. read more

Great place to grab a homey plate of goodness. Our server Katie? I think her name was? Was excellent! I would come again just to have a great meal like this again. Absolutely delicious. read more

I was stranded today without my car, my phone was dead, and I had just gotten rained on. I stumbled into Heritage and was greeted by the bartenders who welcomed me with open arms. They got my phone charged up, got me a beer, and I got this delicious pasta dish (the Buccatini; I hope that's correct). By the time I left, I was full, satisfied and- yeah- I found my car right away. Thanks for being so hospitable to me-- you've got a new and loyal customer here. read more

Went last night and the food was amazing, as usual. Also, our server, Mary, was very attentive and friendly which really helped in having an overall excellent experience. read more

The interior is tastefully laid out. Dark wood, grey color scheme, open concept makes great use of a small space. The flatware that is not white is made by a local ceramic artist. I think their bar display could use some lights. Their menu is printed on a 8.5x11 paper, but the controlled menu indicates that any item is a quality pick. Not a sizeable menu that overwhelms with variety, but offering brunch staples and a few custom picks. read more

The food is okay. We've been here a few times because friends of ours love it. The decor is cool and it's definitely a hip place, but the food just doesn't do it for me. I've never had something there and wanted to go back for it. I would check it out anyway, but don't set high expectations. read more

Amazing dining experience. Went there with a foodie and she ordered everything which I very happily enjoyed. Highly recommended.

Everything about this place is awesome. The cocktails are delicious and while there are plenty of 'fancy' entrees that are equally amazing, Heritage has the BEST burger in Richmond! read more

The food was fantastic but we had to wait a long time for everything. We were sat 30 minutes after our reservation time and it took a long time to get a drink refill and our water glasses sat empty for a while also. read more

I took my parents to Heritage for their 50th anniversary. They are still complimenting the meal a month later. The staff was excellent, the drink menu was great and the food was outstanding. They took a reservation for nine, seated us immediately and were helpful and attentive. There's no kids menu but our usually picky kids found things to try and cleaned their plates like there was a prize at the bottom! This is our new go-to restaurant for special occasions and out of town guests! read more

The Big Hot Mess. Moreso Big hot YASS! The pork was amazing!! The aioli, the potatoes, the smoked cream cheese. It was all perfect. I also added a scrambled eggs and Sriracha. The joy that I feel is unparalleled. Maybe is the Mimosa or how fast I food came out, but I am so satisfied. My friends had the chicken and waffles and another had the omelet with the chicken of the Forrest mushrooms. All our plates were clean. And thanks to the wonderful staff! Sunday Brunch success read more

Heritage has a customer-unfriendly rule on weekends, requiring that a table's entire order to be put in at same time. This allows quick table turn around but forgets what the customers would like to do, e.g., order appetizer first while enjoying cocktail and chatting. They push you through their system so that you're out the door before you know it. Mixed results on food. We had two dishes that were fine and two that were not well executed. Frankly. There are better places in Richmond. read more

Recommend by a friend for date night, delicious! We arrived early and were seated right away, waitress was very attentive!

Pretty irritating when the hostess tells you the bar is first come first served, and the bartender tells you to get up because the people who came in behind you are friends of his. read more

I love everything about this place. The drinks are fantastic and the bar staff is very knowledgable. My favorite drink has to be Stark Words. Everything that comes out of the kitchen is practically to die for. Finally, the atmosphere is wonderful for a date night out in Richmond. read more

The food and drinks were insane but this review is more for our server Michael. Really cool guy and truly one of the best servers I've ever had anywhere. Made a great Valentine's day for the wife and I. Give that man a raise read more

Really super delicious. Get the fried broccoli. Why don't all restaurants have this dish? Waiter was very knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. I had two cocktails that were both bourbon based and lovely. Entrees were great too. I had a very flavorful burger, added bacon of course. read more

This is my first yelp review and after dinner at Heritage last night I couldn't be happier to share my experience. I received a gift certificate for Christmas and decided to take my GF out for a weeknight dinner at the bar. I have been told the food and service is great here, but the special treatment we received last night was nothing short of stellar. The hostess was super accommodating and gave us a very realistic time frame for finding empty seats at the bar, leaving time for a quick pre dinner drink at a neighboring establishment. Mattias, our bartender, offered great advice in selecting a bottle of wine, I wanted something oaky, and recommended a few other tasty elixirs to aid in digestion throughout the night, which came in handy because we ordered a lot of food! An amuse bouche of foie gras and scallop started us off with a bang and from there it was a dizzying barrage of plates. Pimento croquettes were spot on. Pork fries, delicious. Shrimp crackers were awesome and brought back so many memories of Scotland (you get a big bag of these with your chinese take out there) Charcuterie, smoked fish pate, and ridiculously creamy burrata were all delicious. From the medium plates we had the pork belly......unbelievably well executed and possibly the best I've ever had, as well as the soft poached egg with grits, duck confit and i believe 5 spice, also incredible. Then despite how outrageously full we were, we had the boccatini with peas from the large plate menu. This was my favorite dish, though simple, it showed how something like perfectly cooked pasta can be just so satisfying. After all of that we left dazed and confused and totally satisfied. Overall, this place lived up to all of the praise it's received A great night, a great restaurant, I couldn't recommend it more highly! read more

I'd been dying to go to Heritage for a while now because I've heard nothing but wonderful things about it. Fiancé and little one (GASP!) decide to take me to a surprise "fancy dinner" on my birthday (a Wednesday), and Heritage was the spot! Despite my fiancé being told by whoever he spoke to when making arrangements that we should NOT bring a child, he decided that our child is not like "most" children (whatever that means!) and that we're doing family dinner, damn it all. We have exposed her to plenty of fine dining situations, so I wasn't concerned, but we did get a wary look from the other diners when we arrived. None of this would matter ordinarily, BUT I want to point out that despite being advised not to bring the little one (she's 6), they were SO incredibly accommodating. Our server was impeccable and provided a tattered box of colored pencils (way cooler than crayons) and a blank sheet of paper... he "let" her order a Shirley Temple and "Cheesy Pasta" (this was all pre-arranged), and treated her just like a normal adult. Thanks for being cool about us bringing our kid! On top of that, they didn't dumb down the "cheesy pasta". It was homemade noodles with a rich cheese sauce... and she ate every bite... She really felt grown up, and Heritage did a lot to help make the experience perfect for our family. Ok. To the meal. I loved the beer selection, but it was my birthday, after all, so I started with a cocktail: The Return of the Macintosh. Housemade apple vodka, caramel, and allspice. It was AMAZING. My only complaint here is the teeny, tiny glass they serve it in. It's basically a shooter, but I sipped slowly to savor this amazing drink. It wasn't too heavy, but definitely had all the elements to warm you up. After that, I moved on to another cocktail called Karma (insert random number here)... I forgot the number part. It was citrusy and refreshing, and paired well with the many plates we ordered. To begin we ordered the chicken liver pate. It's a mousse style pate, and it was pretty good. I honestly felt it wasn't that remarkable, but it wasn't bad either, just average. Our next dish was the soft-poached egg with duck confit, mushrooms, grits, etc. Our first egg was hard-poached, so it was a bit anti-climatic when we broke it open to let the rich yolk run throughout the dish, but the server was really kind about replacing it, and once we got it right, it was one of my favorite two dishes of the night. The broth is sweet, spicy, and a touch sour, the duck is tender and flavorful. The grits are light and buttery, and when the egg is poached perfectly, the yolk adds that layer of rich deliciousness. Five stars for this dish! We also tried the special which was burrata (fresh, creamy mozzarella), encapsulated inside of more fresh mozzarella, garnished with fried green tomatoes, pickled beans, and basil oil. So... it's basically mozzarella stuffed mozzarella. When you break open the ball of mozzarella, more delicious, creamy fresh mozzarella comes oozing out of the center. It seemed like it was going to be incredibly rich and heavy, but it was surprisingly light and refreshing even. This dish was also 5 stars for me. We ordered the pork belly because the server raved about it, and everyone said: "You gotta do pork, they do pork so well". It really must have been an off night, because the pork belly we got was hard, dry, incredibly salty.. the sauce was good, but overpowering. I've had quite a bit of pork belly and even make it at home now and then, and this was actually the worst I've had. After everything I've heard about this place, I've got to chalk this up to just a bad one-off, because so many people have told me (and I've read), that the pork belly is delicious! The grand finale: Dessert. We ordered the dark chocolate and Nutella candy bar with candied corn pops, some kind of pecan shaving/thing, and toasted meringue with Nutella ice cream. After I took the first bite, I wanted to go home and finish this alone. I almost considered asking for one to go, it was THAT good. The candy bar is smooth and delicious, the pecan element is surprising and the candied corn pops are fun and add that bit of crunch. And obviously I need not say anything more about Nutella ice cream. Overall, the service was impeccable, the plates are incredibly beautiful, the cocktails are tasty, and the food is impressive. I'm thinking the bad experience we had with a couple dishes was inconsistent with their norm, and we will be back to have another go at the pork belly at least.... and I've heard they really throw down a great brunch. I give them four stars for tasty, surprising food, a nice atmosphere, impeccable service and delicious cocktails. Without the mishaps, I would have given them a 5! read more

My boyfriend and I dined at Heritage for the first time last night. Jonathan was our server. I called about an hour before we were to arrive in Richmond and was able to get reservations for the time I requested. The restaurant is on a corner along Main Street. We were able to park nearby; we were welcomed and seated immediately upon entering the restaurant. The decor includes beautiful exposed brick walls and original oil on canvas art, seats which were comfortable and would be fully accessible to a handicapped or large person. The space is comfortable, creative Our server was available to us immediately. He was pleasant, professional, and fun. He explained the evening's specials, answered questions, and was prompt at bringing our water and cocktails.Throughout the meal he was readily available and charming. We ordered a variety of appetizers included the cheese plate and pork bellies. As an entree my boyfriend had a perfectly prepared duck dish while I enjoyed cobia. The food arrived VERY quickly. Presentation was excellent; everything was well prepared and delicious! After dinner we had coffee, sorbet, and cheesecake. All dishes were interesting and flavorfull. Our first visit to Heritage was a delightful experience. We'll have another meal there soon! read more

Food was decent but staff and management are beyond rude and unwelcoming. There are many better choices in RVA.

Go to place in Richmond. Food is fantastic and Michael is superb!!! Always fresh and seasonal entrees. The cocktails and service are way above most Richmond spots. If you only want to try a burger -get this one. read more

My friend and I made reservations through an app we have and when we arrived they told us our reservations were booked in the Heritage in Pennsylvania. They said it is a common thing and they are working on correcting the problem. Any how we ended up eating at the bar. Food was great and Bartender was nice. For my second visit I called and made reservations for 3 and told the gentleman on the phone it is my husbands birthday. My brother in law was in town for the birthday. Our reservation was for 8:45. We get to the restaurant and wait by the door. Not a single employee spoke to us. The bartender told us someone will be with you. We waited 15 minutes and still nothing so we sat our selves. 10 minutes go by a tall blond women walks over and asked what my name was and walks away. She didn't say a single thing. ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. No leadership or common sense what so ever. Completely ruined my plans for my husband thank you very much. We got up and left. read more

I eat at a lot of great restaurants. The Heritage is right up there on top of my list! We went for Sunday Brunch and the food was amazing! The Duck Confit Hash was so delicious! My husband had the Big Hot Mess and said it was great also. The pancakes were the best I've ever had. The service is great too! Such a fun and cozy restaurant. Really appreciated that the chef/owner, Joe, came by to chat. What a nice man and so talented! Can't wait to go back...already have my resrervation!! read more

You need to come here! Everyone is talking about this place, and you'll see why. First of all, the staff is SO sweet. They have a fun drink menu, and the food is wonderful. I had flounder and loved it. We also tried a fried pork appetizer that was crazy good. It was like fried pork BBQ. read more

This is a classic case of a pretentious wannabe restaurant. The food is above average but not worth the price or ridiculously small portion size. There are so many other good restaurants in Richmond that deserve your patronage so I recommend you try elsewhere. read more

This is my favorite restaurant. The food is delicious. The service is attentive and friendly. The location is attractive and comfortable.

We took new clients to Heritage for dinner to show them how great the dining options in Richmond are, and it did not disappoint. I had the Duck with farro fired rice, local vegetables and strawberry Szechuan sauce. The duck was the perfect temperature and the strawberry sauce added a great kick and just hint of sweetness. Delicious! Hubs had the hangar steak and liked it so much he wouldn't even share. They have a great cocktail list with many unusual ingredients including some great high end bourbons (our favorite). Highly recommend making a reservation because this place is very busy but well worth the extra effort. You can take your kids but they don't have a kids menu. Your kid just needs to be adventurous. read more
