Going to have to go with a solid two star 'Meh' on this one. \n\n - The Background\nIf you're a tourist then feel free to disregard this particular review as i'm writing from a Vegas Local's prospective. I'm unaware of your (yes you the person reading this) current situation but i'm going to assume you're in town for a few days visiting from somewhere either on holiday or business, have limited information on places off the strip that serve close of not the same quality of food catered to locals, and don't have your own method of transportation as well as the thing most precious to us all, Time.  If that assumption is correct please disregard this review and move on to another. \n\nA Tom Colicchio location carries a certain level of prestige as he is a well known Chef. My expectations were high as myself and the fellas decided to dine here. Mainly i avoid Strip restaurants due to the food not having a wow factor to justify the price. Lets face it, it's Vegas and it's a Strip Casino location so everything is going to be marked up regardless. A bad place makes you regret spending money here, a good place you can justify the cost, an excellent place makes you come back for more. So how does Heritage stand up? Well read on and see...\n\n- The Experience\nFrom the minute you walk in you're greeted by lovely hostess and either asked to wait or explore the bar or seated to your table. Left of the hostess station (viewer perspective) there's a large interactive touch screen to let you browse the menu along with prices. Pictures would be nice but it's kept short and simple to arouse curiosity and keep passerbyers from loitering that screen too long. \n\nAs you're walked to your table, depending on where the table is of course, the area is absolutely gorgeous except for one huge stain i'm still trying to figure out why. All the staff are dressed to impress. They do an excellent job of blending in with the night life crowd but stand out enough to know that they're not here to party they're here for the guests. The servers, wait staff, and busers all do a superb job of setting up and maintaining the dining experience. \n\n- The Food\n\nFirst Courses\n\n - Heirloom Tomatoes\nThe larger slices were a solid 'meh' as the texture was soggy and not very flavorful. Most of the tomatoes were bland and couldn't hold there own as well as very little balsamic to hold everything together. Every now and then there was a cherry tomato that was just absolutely heavenly but those were few. The cheese had a lovely half melted soft velvety texture but again, not enough balsamic and didnt really stand on it's own or with the help of bland tomatoes. \n\n - Grilled Octopus\nAbsolutely delicious. Tender as hell meat grilled to perfection with enough on the plate to enhance the flavors of the octopus. A must get\n\n - Ash-Roasted Bone Marrow\nAnother absolutely delicious dish. The overly richness of the bone marrow is cut with the lovage and i think granny smith apple salad. The lobster was a refreshing note as well. Added much needed meaty texture.\n\nThe Sides\nKnowing what i know now about the menu and portion sizes i would highly encourage skipping out on the first courses and ordering extra sides. For one the sides are much cheaper at the trade off of not being as complex as the appetizers The portion sizes are MUCH larger as well. One side is enough to cover 2 to 3 diners. 1 if you don't enjoy your company too much. \n\n- Fingerling Potatoes\nI assumed this would be a savory dish but it turned out to have quite a sweet glaze. If you're into that sort of thing this side would be right up your alley. I prefer it to be roasted with rosemary then drizzled with olive oil and light dash of course sea salt\n\n- Spicy Onion Rings\nThese rings are HUGE. They're deep fried to a well done perfection and aren't that greasy. A bit overly salty but the mustard dipping sauce is perfect. You could put this sauce on a tire and it might just make it edible. \n\n- Grilled Mushrooms\nWow...just...WOW. I would come here, get a table for one or maybe at the bar and eat an entire side of this and just this if i could. Lots of different types of mushrooms with none of that white button stuff, tossed in buttery and garlicy sauce grilled to heavenly divinity. Give me two orders to go i'm putting some on everything from instant ramen to waffles!\n\nThe Steaks\nI'm a NY Strip kinda guy. I like lean quality steak medium rare. The strip i was served with attached to a nice hunk of fat rarely found on NY Strips and not being a 'chew the fat' kind of eater that piece was donated to me mates which praised me for the donation. All in all it was a high quality cut that's been VERY well taken care of and prepared but....seriously lacked in the flavor department. With all the fancy wood oak oven/grill our server was talking there wasn't much grilled flavor not even a char grilled fat flavor from the edges. overall...'Meh' (would explain but reached review limit)
