    The food was very good; not run-of-the-mill, but different and interesting. Even the caesar salad had a few extras added, to give it a new twist. We had a leisurely meal, and were not rushed in any way, with friendly, pleasant service. The only wee complaint would be the length of time it took to get our drinks... maybe a little faster bar service? A lovely evening out, with the intention to return; there are other things on the menu we would like to try!

    The waitress came to the table every 5 minutes - so no longer attentive but interrupting us. Eventually it became clear she wanted to leave. Offering us to “move or don’t worry, if you’re comfortable here, I’ll have to stay”. We didn’t really want to be on the opposite side of the bar where it feels like you are no longer in the main room but as we had been put there and were mid conversation, we didn’t actually want to move. After a number of further interruptions we offered to pay her, so that she would stop. The food was below average - the arancini was ok- nothing great. The bruschetta, the same. And these were recommended by the waitress. Cocktails were very nice. Glad they were - is meant to be a wine club. One of my guests asked for the sommelier and there isn’t one. Remaining staff did not insist on us leaving. We were gone by midnight. It has lots of potential but needs to up its game a bit. Will go back and hope it gets there!

    Sadly this restaurant is really trying to complete against the likes as the keg, however the price and level of service leave it trailing far behind. Also for a place that seems to highlight wine they had multiple bottles and options not available, leaving much more expensive options all that was remaining.

    It is a beautiful restaurant that I plan to frequent regularly. Our table was by the window when you walk in, bench seating was very comfortable with plenty of room for our party of 5 and atmosphere was cozy and classy! The food was lovely and was presented with great presentation. Well Done! See you soon!

    We had such a lovely time. The service was fantastic, we felt very looked after. The food was beautifully plated and even more delicious. I gave ambience a lower mark because we were seated in a room that wasn’t quite in line with the rest of the restaurant. It didn’t look “finished”. But overall awesome and we will be back!

    Second time at HEIST with high expectations after the first. It was disappointing to say the least. The room we were seated in was so loud that my party had to practically yell to hear each other. The oysters were lackluster but not bad. The Seafood Spaghettini was horrendous. The seafood had a char on it that I did not appreciate and the pasta was dry. There were green tomatoes thrown in the dish that were inedible. The best part of our meal at heist was the carpaccio. The service was alright but not outstanding. Overall, overpriced for a hit or miss choice of food in an overcrowded room with low light and too much volume.

    We strive to buy local and so did not feel these resources were fully utilized by your restaurant. The lamb was New Zealand (however, it was delicious!) when we have sheep farms in the area and my daughter and husband's steaks were from PEI. Still Canadian but not supporting local farmers. The price was higher than we normally would pay for a meal out even at a high end restaurant, however, it was for a special occasion so we decided to give Heist a try. Overall a good experience. I would recommend Heist to friends, however, would advise them to check the menu before reserving. Thank you kindly, Sue

    Our server MUST be new at her role as she forgot things, made us order all at once, etc. 1/2 bottles of wine is cheap. Have full bottles of everything you offer in a half bottle. It was so noisy it was hard to hear my partner talk, and you could hear others' conversations. I had to use the flashlight on my phone to read the menu. Was told the "mixologist" aka bartender was phenomenal, and our drinks were awful - should have stuck to the wine. Overall, a very disappointing and expensive night. I would not recommend.
