What was also outstanding is that 1 of the members of our party of 5 has hearing issues. I called to request a quiet area and was very pleased that they accommodated us and we were able to converse without yelling. Another terrific evening at Heist. Becoming our "go to" place in Kingston.

Both my partner and I had cocktails which had extremely different, distinct, flavour profiles that we loved. Our apps were delicious (especially the pork bites), and the mains were also excellent. It's not a cheap restaurant, but for the overall experience the price was worth it. Will definitely return in the future.

In fact, the chicken Parmesan was thin, overcooked and dry. The Duck leg also was overcooked, dry and tough to cut through, with minimal sauce. Pasta dishes were nice as were the cocktails.

Each of our party enjoyed our evening. The only negative is that I found the table with 6 chairs very cramped with the seating at each end.
