Heritage

Fantastic meal. Everything was so fresh and delicious tasting, they really let the ingredients shine. Great heritage pork entrée and generous portion for the price (hard to come by that in philly!). The waiter was wonderful and attentive as well. Can’t wait to go back!

Went for brunch. Bluegrass band was awesome. Food was absolutely incredible. My husband had the breakfast platter, which had some of the best bacon I’ve ever eaten. I had the blackened shrimp. Portion was a little small but I kind of appreciated that because I wasn’t obscenely full afterwards. The shrimp and grits were absolutely phenomenal. As a side we ordered the pheasant scrapple which was also incredible. And the food came very quickly which was awesome. Overall ⁵⁄₅. Amazing.

Great spot to grab a drink. Well lit and live music.
Check it out!

First off free jazz and NO COVER CHARGE! Waiter was very friendly and helpful .food was excellent… will be back for sure

Heritage is a gorgeous restaurant, with a large bar, outdoor patio and a stage area for nightly jazz. The food is a mixed bag. I sampled a few small plates. The house sausage and the beef tartare were good. The mussels and the mackerel were disappointing. They also serve a lot of bread, which is only so-​so.
Although I went for dinner I think heritage is better suited for drinks and a snack at the bar while listening to live music. I enjoyed my drink and the music, but there is better food in the area.

We chose that place for a promise of jazz and dinner. Well, both were superb.
What should I start with? 30 beers on a tap. Fern salad and roasted duck, all top quality. Mussels are plentiful and juicy, jazz smooth, waiters helpful and knowledgeable. My respect to the chef, musicians and others keeping the place.

Elegant, stylish, wide and tasty!!!
Seems like a new place, but be insured, you won’t regret.

Come for the: Live Jazz (every night! and brunch).
Stay for the: Vibes– Seating that’s not too close for comfort or loud conversations, has lots of seating, great pseudo outdoor ambiance (the garage door style lets in a nice breeze– bring a sweater, the plants inside and high ceiling make you feel like you’re outside, and then there’s also and actual outdoor seating if you want-​but might miss out on the music), low light, kinda hipster, but not too hipster to bring your parents for Mother’s Day (it’ll make them feel hip).
Watch out for the: Prices (small plates add up fast!) Dinner for 3 with only ²⁄₃ of us having one beer cracked $ 50 each.
Drink the: Good selection of drinks– beers (including, a cider and a sour), wines by the glass or bottle (bottles starting at around 50), and some fun looking cocktails.
Feel thrifty with the: OpenTable Points and Vegetable or Chef Boards ($ 25 for a smorgasborg of surprises). Although remember surprises can be a letdown. We liked the a la carte dishes better than the board, although the board was definitely a good value, with oysters, fish, gnocchi, sausage, and grilled romaine (it changes depending on the chef’s mood).
Recommend the: Burrata with ramps and Rabbit Sausage (smaller portion was plenty)!
Had a great dinner here and I was really jazzed that my parents liked it so much. The service was great and we appreciated the server’s honest opinion reining us in when we over-​ordered. Would definitely return with friends, a date, and will keep in mind for large groups and the summer!

Finally made it to Heritage with a friend and it lived up to the all the reviews that I have heard about. We stopped in for some drinks and a small bite to eat, so we found a seat at the bar. I like the décor of the restaurant, it is an open space with plants along the walls. It was a treat to hear a live jazz band playing and that set the mood.
The staff were friendly and the service was prompt and efficient. We enjoyed out drinks and the Cap Cod Mussels. I think this is a great addition to No Lib and I will be back to experience brunch.
The only downside is the area has horrible parking, but if you are a frequent visitor of the area, you know how to deal with this — just get over it and don’t let that dampen your mood — have fun!

Awesome spot for brunch! After leaving a horrific experience at a restaurant down the street, my party entered oh so pleasant Heritage for a wonderful dining experience.
The layout of the place is darling with a big open feel (converted old garage) with lots of plants, big long open tables, cool light fixtures, live music and friendly service.
The whole table of 8 of us got a variety of options on the menu and I will just say no one left unhappy, the options were original and fresh, and the drinks were funky and delicious as well.
I have to come back and check it out for dinner!

Was here recently and it felt like I was in a scene from an episode of Portlandia if you’re familiar with the show. It was early evening around 6:30 and there’s 2 hipster guys on the stage playing the xylophone and keyboard, people were snapping/​clapping following songs, and there is a garden/​plants along the walls above one side of the space. I actually enjoyed it, but was laughing with my friends about it at the same time. Very minimalist and organic décor in the space. They offer happy hour with good selection. I didn’t try it, but have heard great things from my friends about the beef tartare. They have a nice patio/​outdoor area that offers table seating. The bar is nicely stocked with a variety of great quality liquors and interesting wines. The service here was wonderful. Our waitress was very attentive, friendly and offered great descriptions of the menu and drinks. Overall, had a good experience here and would return for some of the live music in the future.

Food was unique and executed very well; I had the pheasant scrapple which was super. Décor is open with lots of light. Pricing was fair and accommodated both big and small budgets. I was there for Sunday brunch which also featured a live band. I thought the sound was great, maybe a little loud if you were hoping to chat with friends, but the band (bluegrass) was perfect for the setting.
Parking is not great, but nothing unusual for the area.

My party arrived for a Birthday celebration dinner.
The interior is cool and inviting. Although, remove some of those dead plants on top of the wall over the kitchen.
The music was good and enhanced the evening, although it is hard to hear the waitress describe anything.
I’d say this food is either a hit or a miss. And the restaurant would be rated lower if not for the positives.
There is a good beer selection on tap. I ordered one beer and for some strange reason was never asked again if I wanted another beer. I had a second choice ready to go, never happened.
For the meal, we ordered 3 appetizers per instruction that food should be shared here.
We had Mussels, which were huge and cooked very well. They came out steaming hot.
Crispy Beets– This was a good appetizer although the crispy was not really present. So why call wedges of beets crispy? I was thinking like chips. But, the flavors were good and balanced.
The third was Beef TarTar, which was good but I’ve had better elsewhere. I’d say the toast needs to be toasty, it was not. The beef was not finely chopped, which made it chewy instead of a creamy texture. Main note of flavor was horseradish.
The main course we ordered the Braised Bison and Heritage Breed Pork.
The Bison course was very good. I can say the grits were awesome and balanced the Bison. I loved this and even though my wife ordered it, I finished the plate because she was too full. It was really that good.
The Pork, hmm, I’d say it was a fail as a course. The pork was bland and dry. The sauce not present enough to save it. The cabbage though that came with it was good. I barely ate anything off the plate. There was a ton of pork on the plate. We took it home, I am not sure why. It is not identifiable as pork nor as ham. Just a dry flavorless ham looking chunks of meat.
The dessert was a hit and a miss as well.
I first ordered a Apple Bread Pudding. It came out looking like nothing special a grayish brown slice and a sauce that was a weird brown color. The warm cream seemed to not be on the plate. It was average to poorly done.
My wife after the disappointment decided she really wanted the crispy carrot cake.
And that was really good. I wished I had first ordered that for dessert. It was pretty when it came out and the flavors just popped.
So this place is perplexing, they have some winners on their menu but others that really detract from the experience.
The service can be improved. We had one waitress to start who was friendly. But, then someone else took over? What the heck is that? And food came out kind of staggered.
Two appetizers to start then the third came about 5 minutes later.
The dinners, one came first. Then several minutes later the second one came.
The issue of never asking about wanting additional drinks.
And no one asked why we did not touch the pork dish. It clearly was not being eaten.
I am also not certain, why when the reservation indicates «Birthday Dinner» nothing is even stated by the hostess or staff? I guess they just took the reservation without looking at comments written in.
This place could be 5 stars, they need to execute some things slightly better and revise some of the menu.

This place is super cool. I brought my friend, who happens to be vegan, for dinner and drinks on a Saturday. The menu appeals to everyone, the carnivorous, the veggies, and the vegans included. The ambience is very unique and rustic, with plants hanging behind the bar area and wood paneling surrounding the restaurant. There is live music every night, Fridays and Saturdays being specifically jazz night.
Our waiter was extremely helpful with selecting menu items and catering to my friends vegan needs. As I am very far from being vegan, our waiter put all of the sauces and cheeses that came with our selections on the side.
The farm to table food was definitely fresh, and the food combinations were unique and flavorful. The plates are smaller and shareable, which I love so you can try a number of different menu items. I would highly recommend the crispy beets, the sweet potatoes, and the brussel sprouts.

Like 40 beers on draft. Live jazz. Those two elements are automatic five-​star. Not because they have them and do them, but because they do them very well.
Related to the Time bar in Center City, with some similarities. highly recommend.

This place blew my mind! I went during NoLibs restaurant week and I was so happy with my overall visit. I have absolutely no complaints.
Drinks: Strong — I like it that way! Strong, but still yummy!
App: Heirloom tomatoes with cheese — I assumed this was going to be a somewhat average dish because it was only two ingredients, but I was shocked at how flavorful it was! I NEED to know where they get their tomatoes from because POW! its a burst of amazingness in your mouth.
Entrée: Mushroom noodles — The texture was smooth and the flavor was earthy. My dish was seasoned exceptionally well. My friends got duck and they enjoyed their dish as well.
Dessert — I ordered the cheesecake and it was seriously some of the best ever! My friend ordered the peanut butter ice cream sandwich and it wasn’t very good. It was just TOO sugary and dense. He didn’t eat it at all.
Service: Great — our waitress was bubbly and seemed very happy to be serving us. It was refreshing.
Atmosphere: Very cool — the space is gorgeous and there is a really cute patio if you choose to sit outside. There was a live jazz band playing — and they were actually really great!
Overall: If you are in the Northern Liberties area, this place should be a must on your list!

Went to heritage for brunch this past weekend with a group of my friends. After hearing so many positive things I was really looking forward to brunch. The restaurant itself is beautiful. The entire restaurant is open and there are plants and fresh herbs above the bar.
Our reservation time was right at 1130 when the restaurant was opening so to start up service was a little slow. Our server was very friendly and my one friend was given a drink on the house because of the wait time.
There was live jazz music for the duration of brunch which I really enjoyed. I feel like in general there is a lack of good live music in philly– so that’s a plus!
The food was wonderful. I got the heritage breakfast plate which includes toast, eggs, bacon, and home fries. Everything was delicious… but oh the bacon. Thick, center cut, crispy and amazing! Great list of craft brews, local coffee, and cocktails. Definitely one of my new favorite brunch spots– love!

This is a rather awesome place to grab a bite, sip a drink and catch some good live music. Met a couple out to grab dinner. The restaurant is very eye catching. Great décor. The menu is more eclectic than simple meat and potatoes, but there’s options on the menu to cover a wide range of tastes. Service was pleasant, we had an awesome waiter. I even got adventurous and had pheasant… yeah pheasant. It was really, really good. For my wife and our guest, we let the waiter make suggestions and everyone was pleased. The highlight though was the music. The first band was winding down when we arrived, but the band that followed was awesome. Ended up staying till close because you didn’t want to leave and miss something.

Food, Music, Good drinks… what else could you possibly want.
I just want to let the world know this is my new favorite hang out spot! Kudos to whoever owns this place…
We went here for Saturday brunch after Christmas, it was quiet and awesome with jazz playing in the background.
Brunch food was above average, however booze, music and atmosphere were superb!
Will come back to try dinner menu.

So. I reallllyyy liked Heritage. And I will most certainly be back.
The atmosphere was great, it’s open and spacious with a huge garage door opening out onto 2^nd St. There is also a long bar that spans the length of the restaurant and an outdoor seating area. It reminds me of Terrain, if you’ve ever been there.
Service was fantastic. Our server was so pleasant and made great recommendations, it felt like we were simply hanging out with him all night (but not in a clingy, overbearing waiter kind-​of-​way).
We stuck to small plates for dinner. The mussels were huge, chicken croquettes were a must-​order and the beet salad was my absolute favorite (I think I’ve had at least 3 dreams about it since).
And, the icing on the cake was the live jazz music! They have live music every night and during brunch on Saturdays & Sundays. I definitely want to come back for brunch!
