| - Drinks were good, but the food was a total DISAPPOINTMENT.
This was my second time to Heist. I came about a year ago for Easter Brunch and I enjoyed it and thought it was good value. Fast forward to July 2014- midweek dinner for two. He had a beer and enjoyed it and I had the lemonade house cocktail which was refreshing.
The food is small plates/tapas. SIDENOTE: He hates small plates and thinks it is total waste of time and money and just a scheme for restaurants to charge a lot and give a little. When he goes out to dinner, he wants a real meal and to be fed. It could not have been more true in this case. So I said we should leave immediately and head down the street to Cabo Fish Taco or Boudreaux's. It was pouring rain and rush hour so we stayed. That was our 1st mistake as we should have left when we had the chance.
The menu is interesting, but it just doesn't deliver. If you have been to Soul in Plaza Midwood, it has a similar small menu but not nearly as good. You think you are going to get something exciting delivered to your table then you get 3 morsels on a plate and are like WTH? We ordered the fried ribs, the lemoncello wings, chicken basket (nuggets wrapped in bacon, and the tator tots. I was most excited about the wings, so I ordered those first. That was Mistake #2. They were burnt. Black. And now that I am reading the reviews on here, I am the 5th person in two months to mention that their food was burnt. The tator tots- Mistake #3. I only ordered them because they didn't offer fries on the menu. The server said their would be 6-8 tots per order. THERE WERE FOUR. That's right folks, 4 stringy tator tots in a dish. Heist should be ashamed of themselves. I won't be coming back and won't recommend.
To Corrie, the Business Mgr, who is commenting on everyone's review: please tell the chef to NOT let anymore burnt food leave the kitchen (you need to implement some kind of quality control here) and add some fries to your menu.
