All of us enjoyed our salad starters, pasta mains, and desserts. Service was excellent and the atmosphere was upscale, yet unpretentious. Although we dined early, by the time we left it was filling up with patrons. Don't miss an opportunity to dine here.

We ordered all the appetizers and mains (party of 8), every dish was scrumptious. Started at happy hour, fantastic cocktails and then for dinner, bottles of Serenis Prosecco and Zyme red wine. Ordered desserts and espresso martinis…stayed until the restaurant closed. Stephanie our server was outstanding and contributed to us having the very best time. Thank you to Heist for a wonderful evening of celebration!!

It was our 25th anniversary being together and we normally chose a different restaurant to experience. If it is possible that customers have a option to request for table seating, like quieter corner, or avoiding seated next to another diners on both left and right
