Heritage Restaurant|Bar

We went in on a weekend for brunch. The ambiance was inviting, making it feel as cozy and comfortable as dining in your own home. We were very excited for the Dungeness crab hushpuppies, and it did not disappoint with its combination of Dungeness crab and sweet corn fritters. Farmer's Breakfast, the daily special, was huge, featuring scrambled eggs with lots of fresh ingredients, sausages, perfectly seasoned and cooked fingerling potatoes, and toast.French Toast. OK...we really need to talk about this in more depth because it was one of the best I've ever had. At first, I wondered where my maple syrup was, but once I took a bite, I realized it had been absorbed into the French toast, creating a perfectly balanced sweetness. The almonds were toasted, y'all! And the strawberries were cut to fit perfectly into each piece of French toast. I was super impressed with the attention to detail. Key Lime Pie in a Jar. This dessert features a classic key lime curd, offering a tart and creamy citrus flavor, perfectly balanced by the sweetness and texture of a graham cracker crumble. It's topped with beautifully toasted marshmallow-like meringue and fresh berries.

I've been painfully remiss in not visiting Heritage Restaurant until just last weekend, despite it being 5 minutes from the house!! I admit the issue here is not wanting to battle the winery traffic around the Hollywood Schoolhouse, but met friends on a Thursday night and I was able to park in Heritage's lot. I blew it on pictures, but I will tell you that the four of us had an amazing dinner. Once in the Heritage, you forget all of the craziness outside. We were seated immediately, offered drinks, were oriented on the specials, and given time to peruse the menu. Waitstaff was delightful and were ready with recommendations. Special was lobster risotto, and I made him swear that I wouldn't be sorry since I hate being disappointed by risotto. He said after 8 years serving in two great Italian restaurants, he'd stake his reputation on it. BEST I HAVE EVER HAD! Lobster pieces were just barely finished into the risotto, so light and perfectly done. Risotto had just barely a tooth to it and presentation was beautiful with fresh mushrooms and shaved cheese. This is my new death row meal!! Other items at the table were the Wild Boar Gnocchi, The Wedge and Potato Soup. All well received. Split a Salted Caramel Brownie Sundae and Jar of Pie for desert, the former being a huge success, while the latter brought some serious pucker with the key lime. But the kind you can't stop going back for. We did linger to the point of being the only ones in the dining room while a private party continued in their dedicated space. Waitstaff assured us they were on our time, and to enjoy ourselves - Thank you!Will be back, and will get pics!

By the time my husband and I finished our meal on Saturday night, we had already decided we have to come back to try brunch, to bring guests from out of town, and to celebrate more special occasions. Heritage Restaurant is an absolute gem, and we have no idea how we hadn't discovered it sooner. We had a reservation for 6pm, and we were so glad we did as we watched the tables around us quickly fill up. We were seated in this room right across from the bar with 4 tables; it looked like this room could be used for a private event, as it had a projector screen, and if I'm not mistaken, a sliding door. Even with the door open, it felt more intimate in here than if we had been seated in the main areas. We loved our server, Mike, right off the bat. He came by to introduce himself, was welcoming and unassuming, and made us feel at home. We started with the beet and arugula salad, with the blue cheese and toasted hazelnuts on the side. Visually, the serving looked small but it was enough for the two of us as a starter. For the mains, my husband had the Heritage burger while I opted for one of the specials, the braised short rib with black truffle risotto, Delicata squash, and wild mushrooms. My husband boldly claimed this to possibly be one of the best burgers he's ever had (and he's had a lot of burgers) and after two bites, I could see why. The beef patty was so incredibly melt-in-your mouth juicy and well seasoned. The fries were thick and hand-cut and came with a saffron aioli- the lemon juice in the aioli was a bit overpowering, but we still scraped the cup clean. I loved the risotto and how the juices from the short rib cut through the richness, but in spite of this, I found the short rib itself to be a tad dryer than I expected. The risotto was really the star for me, and the squash and wild mushrooms added texture and depth.For dessert, we shared the Pie in a Jar, which was a key lime pie. We loved the fluffy toasted marshmallow topping, but found the key lime filling to be a bit too tart for our liking. The graham cracker crumb at the bottom was also too salty for us. Though dessert was not the highlight of our meal, we will certainly be back for the "upscale casual" dining experience, the delicious main dishes, and excellent service. For as busy as it was, we didn't feel like we had to rush at all and got to share a lot of conversation in between courses. Thanks to the team at Heritage for a great evening!

Lovely place to spend a rainy lunch afternoon. This place is amazing and has great food options. We were taken by surprise!Recommendation: as appetizers pick the Dungeness Crab Hushpuppies! And their special card always has great options!Service was super friendly and very helpful! Loved the team and the atmosphere!We will come back :)

One of the things I miss most about living on the Eastside is the lovely Heritage. I first discovered them when a friend brought me here for brunch nearly four years ago, and since then I've enjoyed them for everything from a drink to lunch to dinner. The food here is always fresh and the portion sizes are ample. Their wine list is one of the best in Woodinville, and their cocktails are on point too. I also loved their bloody mary when I had brunch here on my bday this year. What truly sets Heritage apart is the fantastic, friendly service. The staff are always friendly, and super knowledgeable about the menu and daily specials. I highly recommend making a reservation before visiting. And be sure to check out their lovely outdoor patio during the warmer months.

This was my favorite dining experience on the Eastside and Woodinville area. So much so... that I *really* wanted to return the next day. First off, it's a woman-owned (holler!) and family-owned and operated restaurant featuring fresh, local, and seasonal ingredients. It was so difficult choosing from the menu, because on this particular fall 2023 day, I wanted it all. We started with half a dozen hama hama oysters and sparkling rose (clink!); and for my entree, it's was a special that night - and I'm bummed that I don't recall what kind of fish it was (see pic) ...but it was spectacular. It was a dish that I was hoping would never end. It was topped over zucchini, cherry tomatoes, couscous, kale... They have a full bar (including a separate bar area), a fantastic wine and cocktail selection, and a knowledgeable staff that'll have the perfect rec' for ya! Five stars all the way and can't wait to return and try their popular brunch (fingers crossed).

After a day of wine tastings we needed some good food to fill up on. The potato soup was a worthy start. Not chunky, this is a great example of how to do this soup well. I got the namesake burger. It was gorgeous. Really well prepared and museum quality showing. I'll confess the fries were even better but it's a great choice regardless Our server was friendly and good came out promptly. A great find in his part of town.

We came here for a late dinner and we were happily greeted and offered a table. Heritage is a cute little bistro. I ordered a glass of wine and the mushroom risotto. I ordered a Cabernet franc off the menu, and I'm not entirely convinced it wasn't corked. It was so bad, I couldn't drink it. I didn't complain or return it, just didn't drink it. The mushroom risotto itself was great. I loved the meal. I'd return for that. I only removed a star due to the bad wine.

Absolutely loved the ambiance and the employees were so kind in accommodating us. Super children friendly - they brought out a coloring page for my daughter. We got their specials that day - I got their shrimp pasta. It was creamy and so flavorful at a very reasonable price. My husband got their salmon egg Benedict but that one was just okay- no surprise on the flavor and what not. At the end of our meal, we got their set tarte pastries and had some coffee along with it. It was such a special day and special meal. I've seen great reviews about their brunch - so I definitely will come one of these days to try it out. The only downside is parking.... it was quite horrendous. I waited for 15 minutes to finally get a spot.

Great spot for a lunch bite or brunch. We went late but during the busy times you may need to wait. The wine selection is great, they have fresh coffee and you can also get some cocktails. Service is fast and friendly and the vibe is relaxed.
