    Service was impeccable, ambience was good, for the price food was not on point, my husband and one other guest had steak, both were tough, one was undercooked and one was overcooked, even though they were both ordered medium rare. Overall we enjoyed the dining experience, but will definitely steer away from beef on our next visit.

    Somalia was so helpful and fun. Food was great. Music was too much and too loud. Soft jazz is perfect for this setting. 💕.

    As always the food was delicious. Kyle was outstanding serving us. He’s always so attentive. Chef Lance came by and said hi too! I had the ribeye which was cooked perfectly and so delicious! The arugula that comes with it is great too! We also shared the fried bread pudding for dessert! A perfect way to end a great meal!! We can’t wait to go back!

    From the time we arrived until we left our experience was nothing short of outstanding. The food, service and atmosphere during our visit to Heritage East at Culture ETX was top notch. Undoubtedly the best part is the view of the kitchen. We will be making a return trip!
