| - I like so many things about Heritage that just setting foot inside the door makes me happy. The decor is great, the servers are friendly and helpful, and the dishes are SO GREAT. Also, all the chairs have the fox head logo cut out in them which is awesome. :)
Heritage offers a unique menu of small plates, that feel a little larger and more put together than appetizers, large plates, build your own cheese and charcuterie boards, and family style meal. We took a previous trip to Heritage with some Yelpers after an event and just snacked on cheese curds (which were AMAZING) and deviled eggs (also AMAZING), but this time we went in for the whole shebang.
We started with a cocktail for me (Sao Paulo Smash, would recommend) and a glass of wine for the hubs and did a build your own cheese and charcuterie board. This is where my biggest irk with Heritage started...
We were clearly two people at the table, ordering the board to share. And i am a firm believer that in a nice restaurant, you should cater dishes to the customer as much as possible. This means that when you construct a cheese board (a very fluid dish) for a table of two, everything on the board should come in a multiple of two. I know that presentation dictates that everything be an odd number for aesthetic purposes, but no one is thinking about aesthetics when they are trying to decide who gets the third bacon wrapped date. And to be perfectly honest, I don't WANT to be nice and give it to the hubs, even though I totally did. (wife points!) So don't make me do it! Give us 4! Don't give us 3 pieces of bread or 3 pickles with our crudite plate! Adding one more piece of bread is virtually no cost to the kitchen and makes me feel like I've been taken care of as a customer.
Moving on. Everything on the board was delicious, loved the cheeses, loved the jams and butters, it was great. Then we got the kit and kaboodle of braised pork shoulder, roasted veggies, fried headcheese (1 patty we had to cut in half) and tuna sashimi (3! pieces) with butter lettuce and fish saucey dipping sauce. Now, I love braised pork shoulder and I love good tuna sashimi, but I'll be perfectly honest, I have no idea how they go together. They were both tasty individually, but I was not feeling the cohesiveness. Also, they gave us a massive amount of butter lettuce for only 3 slices of tuna. I ate all the different components in about every combination possible, but none of them stood out so much that I felt THAT was the way I was "supposed to" eat it. Overall, it was yummy and I enjoyed my meal. We also had a sizeable amount of leftovers that will make a delicious sammich for work this week.
Nothing on the dessert menu tickled our fancies, we weren't quite ready to try beet ice cream with chocolate cake.
In summary: Service is excellent (thanks for taking care of us Paige!), food is tasty and well executed, decor is fantastic, drinks were tasty, and we will be coming back in the future! Looks like we should probably try brunch.
