    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Hidden Gem Worth Discovering! Heidy's Restaurant exceeded all expectations. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere. The ambiance is cozy yet elegant—perfect for both an intimate dinner and a casual night out. The menu is thoughtfully curated with a blend of classic dishes and creative twists. We ordered the pork chop, platyer for 2, and both were absolutely phenomenal—fresh ingredients, perfectly seasoned, and beautifully presented. The dessert menu is also worth saving room for the creme bulee was a perfect ending to the meal. Service was attentive but never intrusive. Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and offered excellent wine pairing suggestions. Overall, Heidy’s is a must-try. Whether you're a local or just passing through, don’t miss this culinary gem. We’ll definitely be back!

    Qs was awesome. What wasn't awesome was the Open Table service. Qs said they do not take reservations nor are they in an agreement with you. Luckily they were able to accommodate my party of 10. Would've been embarrassing to not have that Table ready for a reservation made weeks before.
