Lovely decor and ambiance , service was excellent and the food very good. Only complaint was that the broccoli was difficult to cut and appeared to be raw or under cooked .

All the food choices we made were outstanding but the desserts really knocked it out of the park. 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.

Excellent experience overall. Service was great all around, out server was both knowledgeable and fun. 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.

Very busy. Service was less than attentive. They did not ask how the food was at any point. 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.
