“I planned a special outing for tea service here for a small group of kids. The owner was very communicative via email helping me understand what to expect, and planning our food selection. The staff on hand were phenomenal. They made each of the kids, including the 3 and 4 year old, feel like an important patron. They were patient as the older kids figured out what was an option for them. I was worried we’d be an inconvenience as a group of kids, but they genuinely made us feel like they were delighted to have us. The food was delicious, the tea selection was good, and the tea good. The lattes we had were great. It was an incredible experience and new for all of us. I plan to return for a full adult tea service, and highly recommend this place if you have kids who want the tea party experience.“

“Heritage Grille and Wine Barrel is a true gem that effortlessly blends sophistication with laid-back charm. We stumbled upon this spot and were blown away by the dual experience it offers—a fine dining restaurant on one side and an upscale bar on the other, both executed with flair. The fine dining side is an absolute treat, with a menu that’s creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Every dish we tried, from the perfectly seared scallops to the tender filet mignon, was a testament to the chef’s skill and passion. The service was impeccable—attentive without being overbearing, making the whole evening feel special. Then there’s the Wine Barrel side, an upscale bar with a speakeasy vibe that’s perfect for a more relaxed night out. The cocktail menu is a standout—try the pecan pie old fashioned if you want your mind blown—and the wine selection is extensive and expertly curated. What really sealed the deal for us, though, was the outdoor seating. It’s spacious, stylish, and surrounded by a great atmosphere that makes you want to linger for hours. Whether you’re sipping a drink under the stars or enjoying a gourmet meal, the outdoor space elevates the whole experience. Heritage Grille and Wine Barrel is a rare find that nails both elegance and comfort—can’t wait to come back!“

“😎Had a great time. Speak easy environment. Great alcohol choices. It was fun to experiment. Went with my family, and they supplied boardgames while we drank and socialized. Comfy seating. Stylish interior. Small, comfy place. The 1911 canned drinks were all amazing and we also tried caramel apple. So smooth, so good. Friendly staff. - Sincerely, Sawgrass Acres“

“Nice wine list, excellent tapas - fun way to enjoy a variety of flavors. The Cava on their list is excellent. The Affagato dessert is delicious, amazingly simple combination that works really well. Service is very friendly.

Vegetarian options: There are vegetarian options, and if you can have dairy, there are some options with cheese.

Kid-friendliness: Not really...I'm sure kids are welcome, but I think most would be bored

“Late lunch birthday celebration with my beautiful wife of 37 years was fantastic. Russell, our server , was attentive and engaging, First time we met but felt like we had known each other for years. Both of our steaks were cooked to perfection and paired perfectly with the 2019 Hall Bergfeld Cabernet. The special birthday dessert was a great end to our lunch. Thank you and see you again soon“

“I had an awesome time earlier this week celebrating a good friend's 25th birthday here. We had the rooftop reserved (both inside and outside). The supervisor Mac and the bartenders Greyson and Brittany were AWESOME! They helped to set the place for the reservation. They catered to the large volume and drink orders. They even made a desert with candles last minute as we sang "Happy Birthday!" The staff here definitely helped to make the night memorable and fun. I did not personally try the food but friends said that it was great! Service and atmosphere were both 10/10.“
