    Hubby and I had dinner at Heritage for the first time this past Saturday. I had been looking at a few different steak houses in the area and came across Heritage. I decided on this place based on other customer reviews, ambiance, and some photos of the food found on social media. I reserved the table through OpenTable, and requested a corner table. We were impressed from the moment we walked in. Upscale, yet comfortable atmosphere. Great ambiance. Good music selection. Noise level was moderate once it started getting busy but not so loud you couldn't carry on a conversation at the table. Our server, Elvin, was phenomenal. Truly an asset to Heritage. He made us feel welcome from the moment he introduced himself. He was knowledgeable in every area, cocktails/drinks, steaks, and the menu in general. Gave great recommendations. I had the beet salad, and Delmonico steak. Hubby had the tomahawk, which was sliced table side. The steaks are served with bone marrow on the side to enhance the flavor of the meat. We split two sides, green beans almondine and the French onion twice baked potato. I can't begin to describe out delicious everything was. We finished off with the maple bourbon creme brulee. It was fantastic, as was everything else in our meal. We are already planning on returning next month to celebrate my birthday and I can't wait!

    This is one of our favorite restaurants in Cleveland. They’ve been delivering consistently creative quality for almost 2 decades. It all starts at the top and is reflected in the warm and friendly service. The flavors are wonderful — they make one pause and smile. Lobster roll and Kobe beef gyoza were our particular favorites this time. We always leave more than satisfied!
