“ I have been here a few times for work lunches, and recently went for dinner with my uncle. The space is beautiful and has an array of seating from high tops, low tops, to cushy corner booths. From the start to the end, their service was incredible. My uncle was running 20 minutes behind from a delayed flight, but they sat me at the table without giving me any issues. So many restaurants don't let you sit without a full party and I feel like that always rubs me the wrong way - I was so happy that wasn't the case here! We also ate and drank over three hours and they never tried to rush us out. So many restaurants try to scurry people out the second they finish eating, but since we had a later reservation no one made us feel rushed which made for a great experience overall! Now for the food. I've ordered most of the appetizers for my work lunches and they're all delicious! Most recently we ordered the meatballs, stracciatella pizza and the kale salad. I would easily order everything again! Also we were started off with complimentary bread which included a dip of olive oil and butter which is a super rare combo to see at a restaurant, but one of my favorites! ”
“ Great pizza and salads. Easy to get a table for early dinner. Decor n dining area is lovely. Good selection! ”
“ Went here with my coworkers on Thursday for dinner. The service was great and the restaurant has a really lovely italian ambiance. Great for big groups or date nights. We got a pizza and burrata to start and then shared the vodka pasta, caesar salad, and octopus. Everything was good but nothing blew me away. The food was pretty much what I expected. We also got wine and cocktails and a few of the desserts. It was a good meal but I dont think Ill come back. I did like the octopus the most. The vodka pasta, pizza, and salad were all a solid 5/10s. Not disappointing but there are so many place to go in NY - hard to say this is a 'cant miss spot'. ”
“ More of a 3.4 but rounded up. Service was good and the place was packed (so packed I'm thankful we were in a corner seat)- I can't imagine walking in between the tables to get to your seat. Had a pasta dish, some meatballs and some apps. Food was adequate and overpriced (though not unusual for touristy midtown). I wouldn't make a special trip but if I'm around and hungry and don't mind the price- I would go again. ”
“ Exclusiveeeeee! This was truly an experience in fine dining and excellence in customer service. Hats off to Edourt the server and Keith, whom I believe was Management. This definitely a tucked away gem that brings elegance and delight to the meal. It starts with the arrival and valet service which was super friendly and courteous. Next would be the host and greeter upon entering the restaurant. Seated by the window with both view of outside and the dining area was a touch of delight. The lighting, noise level and decor were more than appealing it was more like "I have arrived" and this is the right place. Definitely worth the try and visit. So, until the next one Bye-Bye! ”
“ Heritage Grand is so homey! The restaurant gives traditional Mediterranean vibes, which is a nice change of pace from the midtown/bryant park hustle and bustle. The food eats clean, as the restaurant focuses on artisanal style food and additive free milling flour. The bakery (next door) is a treat as well! A bit on the pricier side, but a nice indulgence at the end of a great meal. Food items I'd recommend: Little Gem Caesar Salad, Fried Calamari, Meatballs and thin crust pizza. I've Personally had the Prosciutto Arugula and the Margherita, and depending on what else you're pairing it with, they are both equally yum. ”
“ Great eats, calm ambience, and a reliable place to visit with friends. I've been here a couple of times over the past year or two and keep coming back. Located right off of Bryan Park, its conveniently located in the heart of midtown. The menu is full service with a mix of steaks, seafood, salads, and vegetarian & vegan options. But the true stars of the show are their pizzas and cocktails! They have a pizza "bar" where you can sit and watch as they make the pizzas while you enjoy those cocktails. During this visit we had their special cocktails and classic Margherita pizza to share. their olive oil was freshly pressed, Their tomatoes were extra savory, and dough was perfectly fermented and cooked. Overall it was great. What truly sets Heritage Restaurant apart is the warmth and hospitality of Richard,Andres and Shannon . They make us feel like family, and that's what keeps us coming back! ”
“ We've found our home away from home at Heritage Restaurant, thanks to Richard and Andres outstanding service! Not only are they attentive and knowledgeable, but they've also gone above and beyond to accommodate our daughter's picky eating habits. Their patience, understanding, and willingness to help have made every visit a stress-free and enjoyable experience. The quality of the ingredients is exceptional, we always order their pizzas and salad. Also recommend their calamari and octopus but what truly sets Heritage Restaurant apart is the warmth and hospitality of Richard, Andres and Shannon . They make us feel like family, and that's what keeps us coming back. We highly recommend!! ”
“ Once good always good. Coming here for a while and food and service always great! Thank you ”
