Good food and service, great cocktails and an extensive wine list. The pizzas were good value but we felt the main courses were very expensive.

Great time yet again. We noticed that the gnocchi could use a bit more sauce (sauce was so delicious) and the chicken for the chicken parm was a bit dry. We get this dish all the time and probably just a one off as it is fantastic every other time. Steak was cooked perfectly!! We requested a specific server (Ann) but she was busy with a large group! No problem at all but if it was her, we would have had the best experience!

This was our first time at Heist. The decor is very contemporary and the tables are spaced far enough apart that you are not really hearing other table's conversations. The cocktail menu is extensive. The wine by the glass is a little skimpy for choice so sharing a bottle would be better if you can agree on a choice. We both had the shrimp cocktail, sauce was great, presentation was wonderful and the shrimp were a generous portion. One main was the braised lamb, very tender, good sized portion. I had the tenderloin 4 ounce. The meat was what you would expect with such a tender cut. The only criticism I have is the au jus - it left a film on your lips that I did not like, not sure why it did that. The server was friendly and atttentive. My guest got the impression that she was being hurried a bit, I thought it was just making sure we were looked after. Go again - sure!

One exceptionally loud table nearby made it impossible to have a conversation and was very irritating. The food was well-presented but a little salty. Grilled rapini was burnt.
