Heidi's 2.0
.
Our Service:  With the re-opening of Heidi's after their devastating fire in 2010, I knew that reservations would be difficult to come by.  We made a late reso for 8:45 on a Saturday night and upon arrival had to wait approximately 30 minutes before we were seated (among others in the same situation).  Though I was annoyed at first, Kyle the host was very gracious and friendly and gave us complimentary expresso's at the end of our delicious meal.  In the meantime, we bellied up to the bar and enjoyed delicious drinks mixed by the bartender who was very obviously backed up but still accommodating to all the patrons at the bar.

Chi, our server was also a delight.  We asked her questions about almost every item on the menu and she patiently answered all of them while also giving us the "people's" favorites as well as her personal loves.  Though the resto was extremely busy, she paid careful attention to make sure that we were enjoying her suggested meals and checked in with us on a regular basis in case we needed anything else.  Her patience and willingness to accommodate made the experience that much more fun.

Loves:  Heidi's had beautiful decor and I instantly fell in love with their red chandeliers and the beautiful white branch tree in the middle of the space.  LOVE!
