It was my first time at The Heist. I came with my two close friends and boyfriend for an early birthday dinner. The service was great and all the staff were friendly. The food was outstanding and probably the best I’ve had in a while. I definitely recommend and will be coming back.

Our pasta was unfortunately undercooked (the taste of flour was present). Everything except desserts was a bit too salty for our taste. Desserts were good but one friend found it sweeter than expected. The waiter was very good and kind, we appreciated his service. The background music was louder than anticipated, would probably choose another booth if we ever return.

First time visiting this restaurant. Great night out .... dinner for 3 .... Fun and energetic atmosphere. We had all shared various plates..... Uniquely deliscious caesar salad.... i was skeptical of the roasted corn niblets.. turned out to be a bit hit. Cold crisp lettuce and wonderfully powerful homemade dressing. The calamari was fresh & fantastic.... the dip too.... we fought over the last pieces. Margarita pizza passed our "high bar" test , as we are very picky about our thin crust and sauce.... i would order it again. Fun to share as an appetizer too. i love my gnocchi.... i loved theirs too. Good portion and beautiful golden finish... a little crisp on the outside bite and melt in your mouth on the follow up bite. 8 oz tenderloin steak was top-shelf.... cooked and seasoned perfectly. the surprise of the night was the beet risotto- it was waaay better than i thought it would be. See you again!

Love Heist! The food and service are great. It’s very loud though. Needs sound deadening or something. Music is a bit to loud so hard to hear those at your own table.

Modest portions but good taste and quality. First time in a long time that I have ordered scallops in a restaurant that were cooked to perfection. The dressing they served with the Frito Misto was outstanding-highly recommend. Surprised they don't do anything for special occasions- no free dessert on your birthday when you are spending $150 for two people seems a little cheap.

It was our first time at Heist. Our service was maybe the best we have ever had anywhere. Food and drinks came the the table just at the right moment everytime. We were never rushed nor did we ever have to wait. Our scallops were perfect , my steak was also cooked perfectly. My wife said her lamb was great but would have liked a little more lamb and a little less of the side. We both highly recommend this restraunt. It's expensive but what is not these days. If your going to play in the high end market your food and service need to be top notch and both were.

Food was too rich with nothing to contrast. The $17 cocktails are way too expensive without being extra fancy And $10 for a shot of beefeater gin? Insane

Best place to grab a fine dining meal in a trendy but classy ambience. My husband and I came to visit with our daughter who attends Queens and couldn't have been more pleased. Excellent food, service is outstanding and wine selection wonderful. This easily competes with some of the best restaurants back home in Toronto! Will definitely be back.

Wine was undrinkable. Literally could not drink it. We were asked if the food was okay but even though I left a full glass of wine, no one enquired if it was okay. Disappointing.

My wife's Veal Milanese was deep-fried with no sauce. The cubes of bread were very oily and salty. The coffee was poor. I didn't finish drinking it. Service, ambience, bathrooms - all were very, very good.

This was our first visit to Heist and it certainly did not disappoint. The service from making the reservation to being seated and served was exemplary. Our meals were fantastic...each member of the party of 4 had a different entré and we were all extremely happy with the presentation, quantity, and most important the quality of our meals. The GF options are plentiful and excellent.

The food was excellent and the service was very good. We were 4 ladies celebrating a birthday and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere A very courteous and helpful young man took the time to give us a tour of the wine club. It was very informative and looks very welcoming and comfortable. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

This was my second time at Heist and we were a group of 4 celebrating my mother’s birthday. I was the only one from our party who had been there previously and everyone loved it. Heist is beautiful and the food is delicious. The atmosphere is upscale without being intimidating or off-putting. The wine list was lovely and the food was fantastic. That all being said, the fact that the prices are in my estimation reasonable for the quality of menu and delivery is amazing. We are happy to pay for a wonderful dinner, and we very comfortable with the cost of the final bill. Go to Heist, you won’t be disappointed.
