Popped in for a drink; Ambience is top notch - very modern cool look. Well stocked bar lots of selections and beers on tap. Menu looks very very impressive and service was exceptional- will return for a full meal. read more

I don't know what I was thinking going back to Heyday a second time. The first visit was bad enough, but apparently they took that as a challenge and said, "Hold my lukewarm beer." The hamburgers? Frozen meat patties that tasted like they'd been excavated from the back of a 2019 freezer. My fish and chips came with fish that smelled like it had been on a week-long bender in a dumpster behind the pier. And the lobster ravioli? Let's just say the only thing "lobster" about it was the price tag. The pasta was sad, the filling was suspicious, and the whole thing felt like a culinary war crime. But hey, at least the ambience is great! Beautiful lighting, nice decor, perfect for pretending you're having a fancy night out... while quietly plotting your escape to literally any other restaurant. Oh, and don't worry about the shortcuts -- when they're done disappointing your taste buds, they'll hit you with a credit card fee for the privilege. Nothing says "we care about your experience" like charging you extra to leave poorer and hungrier than when you arrived. Save your money, your dignity, and your stomach. Go somewhere else to eat. Anywhere else. Even a gas station hot dog would've been an upgrade. read more

Heyday is a maintained staple on our upscale dining list. I also love that it's not far from home and that they've added mocktails to the menu. My sons and husband love a cherry bomb and I rotate my options out. I've never been disappointed by a mocktail here. Heck, I've never been disappointed by any appetizer or entree for that matter either. They've got half off appetizers on weekdays from 2-6pm and on our last family visit we ordered FIVE of them (deviled egg cupcakes, pork belly, arpe.... those ball things, calamari, and wontons). The red sauce comes with the ball things and calamari needed salt or sugar or both--it was a bit flat, but didn't make a huge difference to our meals. Our server on our last visit was Nad and he was attentive balanced with giving us space--he showed up when we needed him and had excellent timing. One thing I want to point out is that because we love this place so much, we've gone there for birthdays and anniversaries. There's something in me that loves pairing a memorable occasion with a favorite place. However I DO NOT recommend this place for a special event. We've tried for at least our three last special events, always mentioning the event, and nothing special happens. I don't need free ice cream, but there's not even an acknowledgment or "thank you for celebrating with us." Great place for a date night or girls night, but not for a special celebration. read more

My husband and I dined at Heyday on a Saturday around 6 pm and were seated immediately, but the restaurant fills up quickly. It is on the smallish side for a restaurant, but very nice decor. We had great service throughout our visit and the deviled eggs and American Burger were delicious and reasonably priced. Cocktails are okay, but not quite worth the price. Menus are available via a QR code only. Our server said it is because they are still working on refining their menu. The food menu has a lot of variety, but given that the restaurant is loud, I would not care to eat here for the menu items priced above $20. It is worth a drive to Celina, and I would return. read more

Ambiance is the big winner here! Very cool decor, comfy seating and friendly staff. Great music--it was all 60's-70's oldies the afternoon we went. Drinks were good--love the options. Very eclectic choices. I had the old fashioned and my son had the cherry bomb. The pork belly was ok. It's always chewier than I expect but I liked the bulgogi sauce. Grilled Romain is not on the menu in most places but it's seriously one of my favorites. So freaking tasty. read more

Fun place to hangout in Celina downtown. The drinks were great! Loved the fennel salad here and the deviled eggs. The place was so packed for a week day, nice and cozy inside. We were here for girls night and it was fun! read more

I had high hopes and expectations based on reviews but it was just average. Not bad at all, but not a destination restaurant by any means. Service was ok, deviled eggs ok, calamari order was very small and my steak ordered rare was medium rare not close to rare. Very mid, not a destination restaurant at all. read more

Great experience and amazing service! My family and I came in late on a Saturday night, and everything was perfect. The food was absolutely amazing, and the drinks were just as good. I've heard they get really busy during brunch (which makes sense!), but even at night the vibe was great. My mom and dad absolutely love this place, and it was such a nice experience coming in later with the family -- good music, a DJ, and just a really fun, relaxed atmosphere. read more

Came in here on a whim to try something new.. and I'm so happy I did! This is a fantastic brunch spot for delicious eats and strong drinks. We ordered: Crab cake benedict Pork belly benedict Blueberry pancake Sage Against the Machine Dream Machine Dr. Feel Good There are so many specialty cocktails on the menu, I already have my drink order for the next visit mentally planned. :) Service was spot-on, we were well taken care of. The restaurant was clean and nicely decorated - my kind of place for a date! Can't wait to return to try out the dinner menu! read more

This is a cool spot. The bar is stocked, and the bartenders really know how to make a drink. Fabulous drink menu. The ambience is old/new school whiskey bar motif. I had an incredible pork chop as well. There were not a lot of patrons when we visited thankfully. I imagine this place getting really loud on a busy night. Our servers were very attentive and friendly! Thank you so much. read more

Such a cute and modern place! The drinks are amazing, the food comes out hot and fresh. Everything we ordered was tasty and we didn't leave any crumbs. Our super stand outs were the Pork Belly Bites, Chicken Marmalade Sandwich (which pairs amazing with the chipotle ranch), and the poke bowl! We heard the brunch menu is to die for so we definitely will be back to try that menu as well. Thanks for an amazing evening! read more

Nice place that's located downtown. Be mindful of what time you go as this place can get quite busy. They do offer reservations, which I recommend doing unless you can snag a place at the bar. We had a large group, so we opted for earlier reservations. We ordered several different things, starting with the charcuterie board, calamari, French fries, and the glazed pork belly. The charcuterie board was simple and came with pickled onions (my fav) and a whipped herb spread that paired well with the pita and crackers. The calamari was crispy and came with two sauces; a chipotle ranch and a marinara. The marinara was quite chunky, though the chipotle ranch was a nice addition. The glazed pork belly was absolutely delicious; perfectly caramelized with a rich, melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The sweet-savory glaze added just the right amount of depth and balance that kept you coming back for more. The entrees consisted of several salads; house and the grilled romaine, the American burger, chimichurri steak quesadilla, and fish and chips. The salads were fine and what was expected. The burger however was ok for what it was; didn't have a ton of flavor. The steak quesadilla was alright as well; a tad greasy, but wished the steak had a tad more flavor. The fish and chips were probably the best entree of the night. The portion was huge with the fish being golden and crispy on the outside, while tender and flaky on the inside. The chips were interesting; they were flat steak fry size, but perfectly cooked and crispy. The fish paired well with the zesty tartar sauce. Overall, the food was fine, with the pork belly and fish and chips being surprisingly better than expected. The food was reasonably priced for the portion size. I found it interesting though that the fries accompanying other meals were the usual type of fries, while the "chips" were a completely different type of fry. It was a busy night with the cinco de mayo event taking place, but the service was friendly and attentive, making our first visit even better. Definitely a place I see myself visiting again. read more

Braydon (sorry if not the correct spelling) was a spectacular server. Would ask to be in his section again. Five of us sent on Sunday for brunch. The poached eggs for the benedicts were way over cooked. We pointed it out to the server and they made it right for us. The food was amazing. Steak tacos, carnitas benedicts and strawberry filled french toast. Can't wait to go back. read more

TLDR: The drinks are phenomenal and the food is fantastic. Heyday has showed up exceptionally in every way since the day they opened in Downtown Celina. A tremendous amount of care and selection has been put into the decor, the staff, the service, the food and the drinks. Whether you're a local or just visiting, you'll absolutely walk away satisfied and looking forward to your next experience here. The Food: They have a solid menu offering and seasonal rotations. I've tried dinner, lunch and now their brunch. Anything from an absolutely amazing goat filet (which I don't think they have up any more), the Ahi Wonton Tower, tenderloin tacos, Creamy Dill Salmon, Blackberry & Brie Grilled Cheese or Crab Cake Benedict. It's divine. The Drinks: Let's start with my favorite. Sage Against The Machine hand crafted with the utmost of style and perfection with Hibiscus Infused Fords Gin, Cream de Violette, Orgeat, Pineapple, Citrus, Sage. The Espresso Martini is another fav. But seriously, just ask the ultra talented bar staff at Heyday and they'll make magic happen. There's so much to take in and takeaway here. Just go and thank me later. read more

We were visiting family and wanted to try something different. The 1st place we went to was way too busy so we looked for another option and lucked up on this gem. I loved the decor and ambiance. My Mom had the crab cake benidict and she said it was loaded with crab and no fillers she loved it. I have the classic breakfast with biscuits. I enjoyed everything and those jams had me wanting more. They should jar them up and sell them. We look forward to going back for dinner next time we visit. read more

Finally Celina is getting some decent night out options! Heyday is a cocktail restaurant with superb cocktails!! I've been here twice already, first time with hubby for lunch and second time with a friend for drinks and snacks. Every cocktail I've tried here has hit the mark and the food is good as well! The ambiance reminds me of a trendy Dallas spot (think Apothecary vibes if you've ever been there) and their mixologists at the bar are friendly and fun to talk to. The menu for their cocktails is extensive and the prices are really reasonable for the quality of their drinks. I have yet to try their dinner entrees but the appetizers and brunch foods are great. This is definitely going to be one of our new go to spots and love that it's only a few minutes from my house! read more

Hey day's food is always exceptional. Everything I have eaten I have enjoyed. I did downgrade from a 5 start to a 4 star because you must use your phone to see a menu. My husband and I enjoy going out for a meal and we intentionally leave our phones in the car. We enjoy each others company and don't want the distractions. The prices are a little high, but well worth the extra charge. read more

The drinks are really good! A little higher priced than what I have seen elsewhere but again very good. The food had really good flavor and came out quickly. The service was good. Overall the place was very nice and furnished well. We will be back. read more

Love Heyday! Great Cosmos and the best crab Rangoon ever!!!!!! Great service, ambiance, and very consistent!

Came back to re-review. Since my first visit I have been back twice. Once for lunch and another for a Christmas party. I must say they added more options to the food menu and have more improved on taste. Everything I got was really delicious. And the drinks here are crafted very nicely. As always nice staff but yes come here to eat! read more

Really enjoyed the food and atmosphere & the bourbon collection. We spent over $300 here with over half that being drinks . Know your bourbon, they do not have a list just bottles at the bar . Food was amazing!. We came here for my husband's birthday dinner , nice intimate setting - pls note they do not comp birthday desserts . Would also be a nice spot for a small dinner party. We plan on going back to try the brunch ! read more

Would have probably given it 4 stars if the music wasn't so loud. Food was pretty good no complaints there. Servers were very knowledgeable as well. Personally the music was too loud in there for a restaurant, everyone at the table agreed. They should decide if it's a night club or restaurant. Don't get me wrong I like some music but it was too much. Maybe I'll try it again. Probably not read more

This is a great cocktail bar! Now the drinks are a little pricy so that's my only knock ($15-20 a drink roughly) the bartenders are knowledgeable and skilled so you do get what you pay for. I have only sat at the bar for my visits and have enjoyed it greatly. It is a great upscale Dallas type bar in downtown Celina which is a great addition. In short this place delivers great cocktails! read more

1st I want to thank Alexandra. This girl was hustling and table to table. She worked her butt off and should be the trainer or manager if she isn't. The restaurant is beautiful and designed beautifully!! I loved the bee restroom and my husband got a kick out of Benjamin Franklin blowing a bubble. For appetizer we had Bruschetta and Calamari. Fair warning though it's not true Bruchetta with motz, tomatoe, and basil. It's an olive spread with oil and ricotta. For dinner my husband got the Ribeye Tacos, and I got the Pork Chop dinner. Both were amazing. Only recommendation would to provide a steak knife with the pork chop to make it more upscale. Drinks: we got The Manhattan, Old Fashion, Espresso Martini, and Sage Against The Machines. I would order Sage Against The Machines over and over it was so good. I'm excited for this place!! read more

Great food and drinks in my town. One of the best on a growing town. Looking forward to new menu items.

They had the best espresso martini I've ever had. The lemon ricotta pasta was very good but needs protein. The harvest salad was good. The Cuban can be better. Unfortunately, I had the steak and frites. The fries were good however everyone tried the meat and it tasted and smelled old while it was very overcooked for being medium. We threw most of it away and it's the most expensive thing on their menu. read more

This place was OUTSTANDING!! I have never in my life received such personable service. Our server Elijah was very attentive and explained everything on the menu that we asked about wonderfully.

I absolutely recommend coming here if you are in the area. read more

Our second visit here. The first time in July our server was fantastic. Very friendly and attentive. Don't remember her name. This time the service was subpar. The place was less than half full, so no reason for it. The two waitresses were disinterested and not personable, . Our server A was not friendly or attentive and seemed ready to get us out of there despite the fact that we wanted more drinks. She wasn't horrible but not good either. The food and atmosphere were good but the service was very lackluster considering the low number of patrons. read more

Wanting to try something new which had good reviews we opted for Heyday in Celina. We agreed to meet up with friends around 6pm on a Friday night so we anticipated a wait. To our surprise when we walked in the bar area was packed and there were a couple of tables already occupied. But the hostess asked if we made a reservation to which I said there was no option on their website. A waiter who was standing near by simply said, well you should have called. Anyhow, the hostess said they could accommodate us and showed us to our table. Once seated, by the way the chairs are very comfortable, we got the drinks menu handed to us but the food menu was only available via the QR code. A wealth of cocktails mostly gin or whiskey based, but we found a couple Lo Siento and Straight from the horses mouth. Both very tasty and the night looked promising. Once our friends joined us and had their drinks we ordered an appetizer, calamari, and our mains. I ordered the steak frites with chimichurrie and my wife the shrimp tacos. All of a sudden the waiter walked by and almost threw our appetizers on to our tables and didn't even say a word. How odd.... And suddenly the music was bumped up to a level I could hardly hear myself think, let alone talk to my friends. So we kindly asked the waiter to lower the music which he eventually took care of (10 mins later) As I was about to take a second bite of what was a tasty appetizer our mains were being served. The excuse was that the kitchen was gearing up for a busy evening and large orders... honestly I don't care. I don't want my mains and appetizer at the same time. Shortly after I asked for additional chimichurrie sauce as what I got on my steak was a small teaspoon worth (and that for $33!!!). As I slowed my eating down waiting for the sauce, my friends were finished and plates cleared and the same waiter who took the order for sauce had the audacity to ask if I was still working on my meal. Seeing he was holding what looked like the bill in his hand just proved that they were trying to rush us out of there. Not sure why as there were empty tables.... So we got the hint and passed on dessert. Similar to our appetizers the bill was thrown onto our table. To my surprise there was an additional $0.50 charge for the chimichurrie sauce I never got. For $33 a plate which was on the smaller side, this additional charge to me is excessive. The drinks were good. The food is very tasty even though the portions are small. The service really needs to improve and be more personable. And if you expect us to be done by a certain amount of time, let me know in advance and don't put the pressure on the waiter. read more

This place is an outstanding addition to the Celina square. In a nutshell: awesome vibes in a cool setting with professional staff, great food, and delicious cocktails. Starting with the interior, the place itself has a really cool ambiance and has the look of a bar you'd find down in Bishop Arts or Deep Ellum. Definitely the type of place that makes me want to hang out for hours. The service was outstanding. They are really busy in the evenings and only have a few tables, but the staff are always hustling. Make a reservation online if you can. Wilborn was behind the bar, and this guy is an absolute craftsman that slings amazingly well thought out concoctions. We tried a bunch of different things, and literally all the cocktails were great. The food was surprisingly great at a very fair price point. The fried tomatillos were a solid app, the Cuban sandwich was solid, and the bacon fernet burger was one of the best burgers I've had in a long time. This just became our favorite spot in the entire Celina/Prosper area. Go check it out. read more
