Heritage East — Restaurant in Tyler

As you enter, you are promptly greeted. We had a reservation, which due to traffic we were a little late. That being said we were seated immediately. Indoors every table has a view of the kitchen. The wait staff was extremely knowledgeable, and were able to answer any questions about the menu. I had the Crab cake Hush Puppies to start. Nice large hunks of lump crab in a moist, and fried to perfection batter. Accompanied with a slightly spicy remoulade. For my entree I went with a Blue crab Claw Ravioli. The balance of this dish I cannot even put into words. Talking with Chef Lance after the meal, and observing him at work. You can see and feel his passion for his chosen art. Just when you think your experience can't get any better, a walk to the back of the restaurant. A doorway marked "janitors closet" hides a secret entrance to the Speakeasy. I highly recommend a visit, should you find yourself anywhere near...

I love eating duck but this has to be the worst dish I’ve tasted. While eating I found a bone in the gravy and I paid 24 dollars just for my dish. Not worth it at please save your money and eat somewhere else! 1 Star...

Duckwaffle was delish. A spin on biscuits and gravy this dish had a stew-ish texture with a sweet waffle base. The plate was clean when I finished. Great display of creativity.

Crabcake Bennie looked amazing and was enjoyed by others at the table.

Deviled eggs were popular and not available due to the high demand. Hoping they will be available when we return.

This was the first weekend offering brunch. Service was slow, but friendly. Beware, if using plastic, they do charge 2.8% as a...
