I wish Yelp didn't have a rating system. Heritage Tavern is an excellent establishment, but for me personally it was just okay. Maybe I just wasn't feeling the atmosphere. \n\nI went there as a four top and despite having made reservations, there was some wait for our table. Their bar was super crowded, which made standing around holding onto our coats and not bumping into people super awkward. I found the bartenders incredibly attentive though. Despite the crowded bar, one of the bartenders saw us enter the bar area and immediately made eye contact and asked if we wanted drink menus, despite us not being right up at the bar. \n\nTheir drinks were yummy and well made. \n\nUnfortunately, the dining area was also small and crowded and it took some work to get seated and around the waiters. It was also too loud for me as I had trouble hearing my fellow diners across the table. \n\nWe had the deviled eggs, charcuterie, pork belly with tuna sashimi, grilled octopus salad, ribeye, and whitefish. We shared everything so we were able to sample lots of different things. We enjoyed the creativity with the deviled eggs, but we found the eggs themselves rubbery. The charcuterie was good but I prefer Osteria Papavero's charcuterie plate. My fellow diners loved the wagyu ribeye best, but I personally perferred the sweet and saltiness of the pork belly. I found the tuna sashimi with the pork belly unnecessary though and would've preferred they made the pork belly a larger portion and made it into an entree dish. \n\nIn summary, it was evident there was care and attention to each dish, but there just wasn't anything in particular that made a strong impression on me.
