Heritage Restaurant & Caviar Bar

Forgot to write a review after a wonderful experience as an out of towner. Admittedly, our experience was probably a little unique since we had the restaurant to ourselves on a random Monday at opening, but nevertheless, we had a great time.I forgot our waitress/bartender's name... Cassie? Maybe? Well, she was great! Her recommendations off the menu were exactly what we wanted/needed as casual diners with blue collar taste. The Owner's Wife Martini was decadent to start (blue cheese olive + pickled pearl onion + dollop of caviar) and had a wonderful briny finish. We then left our mixed drink future to our bartender (an option on the menu) and she *mixed* up two drinks that were so well balanced that I was sorry to finish them.The food was equally excellent! Lots of accoutrements for the caviar/roe dishes and our main course (the upscale Italian beef and the asparagus with strawberries) was delicious and filling.To cap it all off, the 90s-2000s playlist kept us jolly the entire time. We loved our experience at Heritage and hope to be back if we ever back in Chicago!

I'm a sucker for Heritage's Happy Hour Oyster for a while so had to circle back for the restaurant week. The whole experience was giving East meets West as it covers a good range of dishes/inspired cuisine. I was pleasantly surprised with how each courses was planned out, with very balanced flavor combinations, leaving me full but not uncomfortably stuffed. My favorite we're definitely the tuna crudo, braised beef and fiancier, hopefully that make the official menu one day. Overall great experience and the downstairs speakeasy space makes it so fun to eat and catch up.

This place never disappoints. I went in on 4/20 because I wanted to try their 4/20 menu. We came during happy hour so oysters are half off. We ordered 2 dozen of their happy out oysters. They brought them out with their cocktail sauce and giardenara. I love the oysters. They always taste so fresh never fishy. We also got their fried pickles. They were good but tasted a little over seasoned. The jam that they were served with really complemented them though. It offset the taste. From the 420 menu, we got the ribs and Korean chicken nuggets. The Korean nuggets were so nice and crunchy! A little spicy too but very very delicious! The ribs were also very good. I will always come back because this is my favorite restaurant. The service is always great, the chef comes by and says hello.

What a lovely place for some great food and drink, also a lovely date spot. We made it for half off wine bottle night so we were off to a great start. Tiff was a gracious host who had some great recommendations on not only their menu but some areas to check out in Chicago as well. The rainbow trout roe with their house made bread, pickles and accoutrements was delicious but the prime rib pierogi was the real star of the meal. If I were a local I would definitely visit regularly to try out the whole menu, very glad we happened upon them.

Lovely spot with cozy ambiance and friendly service, but let's talk about the food! We came here for a restaurant week lunch because their menu sounded amazing and an incredible value. It did not disappoint. Every bite was worth it and we kept peeking at the regular menu for what to get next time. Will definitely have to come back!

Very romantic spot with excellent menu. Stuff is super friendly and helpful, walked us through caviar plate and shared details how it is made etc. house infused vodkas are a gem - we liked the one with beets the most! Also smoked sturgeon is a must try!

I had such a fun time at the Heritage Restaurant. We had a tasting of four types of their caviar. From left to right, we had the Siberian reserve (Uruguay), Grand Cru, Golden Osetra, and Sterlet. My favorites were the Siberian reserve and the Siberian Grand Cru. They both were very subtle while the Golden Ostera had a buttery taste. The Sterlet was a bit more tart. The owner/chef mentioned that his wife would sometimes pair it with popcorn. Unique experience and would definitely recommend at least once. Of note, the free vodka with the Yelp check in is no longer being accepted by the restaurant.

We came here for their restaurant week menu and it did not disappoint! The place was pretty busy on a Saturday afternoon and we were pretty lucky to have snagged the only 3 bar seats left available What we ordered:Smoked Sturgeon Chlebicky: the smoked sturgeon was great though I thought the rye bread was too toughCrispy Scallion Pancakes: not what I expected. The pancakes were very fried but they were greatEggs on Eggs: light and unique. The kimchi soft scrambled eggs did not have a strong taste and it went well with the lump crab meatDuck Confit Biscuit and Gravy: tasted ok. it was a bit too heavy for me bc there was a lot of gravyDesserts (Cream cheese kolachzi, sesame cream packzi, sourdough doughnut): all pretty goodWe also ordered caviar on the side to share and it was great. Overall, we enjoyed our dining experience here.

A funky, delicious gem of a restaurant. Food was made with care and creativity. Their beet horseradish vodka shot and bump of caviar on happy hour. Just try it. Service was so sweet. The restaurant is caviar forward and Eastern European-y with a hit of Korean. It is IDGAF about culinary boundaries in the best way. So hard to pull off but they did it.

We had the 7 course tasting menu ... simply fantastic. The king crab leg and salad so fresh and delicious. We eat out alot but Heritage really wakes up your tastebuds! Great ambiance and service not to mention a great value!
