    I’ve almost always had the ribeye or NY strip (and always love it!)……but finally I had one of Chef Lance’s signature dishes: Yardbird! It was delicious! I made the mistake of getting the chicken gravy on the side. I won’t make that mistake again! Chef Lance and his amazing team have things down pat!! This is the best restaurant in Tyler and we can’t wait to go back.

    With the exception of a really unpleasant host, the restaurant is fantastic. Our server, Kyle, was kind and gracious, as well as responsive and professional. The food was fantastic. We had both steak and fish. The atmosphere was an interesting mix of eclectic and quaint. The restaurant, although somewhat small, had a very nice atmosphere for conversation. I don’t live in Tyler, but it was nice to find a place that was a little bit upscale, and was conducive to enjoying your time with who you are with. I will gladly go again, with the hope that they get their host situation worked out. Even if they don’t, it is still worth it.

    Heritage’s new menu offers a lot of options you can’t find anywhere else in Tyler. Chef Lance’s creativity is amazing. My new favorite entree is the redfish (amazing). As always, Kyle’s knowledge of the menu and his attentiveness to our needs is second to none. As always, thanks for a fantastic dining experience.
