   Came here for lunch. Four people and practically tried almost everything in their menu. As always everything is awesome whenever we’re able to get a reservation date and all the staff are wonderful.

   Always a great experience. The food is absolutely fantastic and at a great value. The service is top notch and I love the idea of helping students with future career experiences. I also love the idea of the tips being contributed to a scholarship fund for the culinary school. With the value of menu pricing, it justifies a very large tip to assist students with their education needs.

   Not wanting to eat as much food as the prefix would give me, I would have liked to see a breakdown of the pricing of the individual menu items. Our waitress said that the price of the large and small boards was the same? Thank you! It looked and tasted amazing! Betty

   It was a lovely experience to eat at the Heritage. The service was outstanding and professional. The food was impressive. Presentation of the food looks like a magazine. And as I dined with my friends they could not believe how lovely the experience was.

    The dining room is being remodeled and we’re looking forward to its reopening. Our server knew the food well and gave us great personal insight. The Pulled Jackfruit small plate was bright and refreshing. Both the Pork Curry and Venison Loin were awesome. As always, the desserts were a must.

    These are students who are learning and working very hard. However, the service was very slow, even paying the bill took too long. The food was good and the presentation was nice. I’ve been there before when it was excellent, so maybe this was an off day.

    The Heritage RestaurantResponded on October 10, 2022Hello Mindy, we are so sorry that service was slow when you dined with us. The Heritage is a learning environment where students are making and serving the guests. Many of our students have never worked in the front of the house before. We will use this review as a learning moment as we continue to improve.

    We arrived 10 minutes early, but were shown our table almost immediately. The hostesses were very pleasant and welcoming even though our visit to the Heritage was a first and we were learning all about the restaurant and the new space. The soup was served in a very fun dish and the choice of four different breads was a very nice option. Both were incredible and were great for starters. The entrees we chose were well apportioned and more than ample for our needs. We loved what we chose and received but we feel the need to return and try the other options so we can say we have tried them all. Our server and assistants made the day from taking our order to keeping our table checked on. They kept our drinks filled and took our dishes away quickly when we finished. We didn’t feel rushed but extremely well cared for. The student manager even checked on our table making sure everything was to our liking. The students themselves were awesome and very personable, as they felt more like friends that were as interested in us as much as we were interested in them. They put their work for us first, delivering exceptional quality and service in everything they did, but we found that we could talk and relate to them even while they were serving us. This is not always true at other restaurants and made the dining experience so much more enjoyable than just having food brought to us. We will definitely be back to try additional dishes and see the students!!

    The Heritage RestaurantResponded on October 10, 2022Brian, thank you for your detailed review! We are so glad you had a great lunch and that we exceeded your expectations. The Heritage is a learning environment and we are so glad to hear that everything went well.

    I liked this restaurant, even though it is in a temporary space. For any service complaints made here, please remember these are students who do not have the experience of a more established service group. I felt they were trying hard to be their best and succeeded very well. I enjoyed that the venison was cooked perfectly with the perfect macadamia crust and the carrots were cooked perfectly also but with the skin left on, which allows you to co aime more nutrients. Definitely worth the destination.

    The Heritage was okay, not wonderful. I'm looking forward to having the dining room renovations finished. The "severe weather" room is a bit off, dark and claustrophobic. We ordered three different entrees only to find that they were out of two of them. We all settled with the snapper dish. Fish was overcooked, dry and not prepped well. My filet had a half dozen bones. I've come to expect better from The Heritage. We will be back. We like it but this experience was not the best.

    The food was excellent - a couple of things about the restaurant are that it’s in a temporary location, and there doesn’t appear to be much signage to direct you to the restaurant inside the building. We found it more by luck thank knowing where to go…. My ambiance rating is based on the temporary location - an interior conference room with no windows. The lunch service is run by freshmen students, and you could tell they didn’t have a lot of server experience- but they were learning and one of them told us they had a large class so they had limited times to do each job - I’m sure a server isn’t what they are going to school for but it’s good for them to know! Both of our dishes were excellent!

    We usually try to go to the Heritage about once a year and the food never fails. The menu is changed ever year with many different selections. My wife had the curry and I had the venison and it was cooked to perfection. The only thing that was off was the location of the new dining room which felt off but that couldn't be helped because of construction. Natalie did a wonderful job serving us and answered our questions wonderfully about the menu. If she didn't know the answer, she made sure to use her resources to find the answer. The meal was on the house because of the soft opening which was a very nice surprise. We will definitely be back once when the time comes again. My only recommendation I have is to let the students know the best instructions for where the bathroom was. No one seemed to know where it was and when someone was looking to find out it took about 10 minutes until we found an answer. All I wanted to do was wash my hands.

    Excellent lunch with two of my sons. The food and service was excellent. Only downside was that the pretty restaurant with nice city views is undergoing some restoration so the Restaurant is serving in the window-less tornado shelter room. Ambiance? Not so much.

    Service was abnormally inadequate even for a school. Our server had only one or two tables but was so slow with everything. Even getting the bottle of wine took forever, then she stumbled for the longest time to just remove the cork. Was not advised ahead of time that set up was in a class room. Very disappointing. With wine, food and the automatic service charge, too expensive for a school. Cheap bottle of wine for 39.00 Food however was good and desert table side as well

    We call it an "adventure in dining." The service is great--very attentive. The dishes are always attractive, especially the desserts. The roast beef was perfection; the pork & shrimp was very good, but had too many noodles (for me, anyway). We're amazed that the students can do such a great job so early in their training.

    You need to keep in mind that this is a classroom experience for the students (both cooking and front of house). This may impact your time in the restaurant (e.g., plan it to take 15+ minutes longer than a typical lunch. All this said, the food, quality of the service, and the interactions you get to have with students who are honing their skills and experiences in the culinary discipline is FANTASTIC. The faculty who run this program have high expectation for their students and their program. As a result, the food, service, and experience are exceptional. I highly recommend dining here.
