Heartland Contemporary Midwestern Restaurant

Welcome to Heartland.

  • Menu changes daily
  • Wine Bar menu
  • Award-winning wine list

The menu changes daily featuring North American Midwest regional cuisine that employs indigenous and cultivated ingredients from the American and Canadian Midwest to create two fixed price tasting menus along with a wide variety of à la carte selections every evening. Meats, fishes and vegetables are prepared, cured or preserved on-site, and all of our pastries and breads are created daily in the restaurant's pastry kitchen Large parties are welcome, and private events may choose to reserve the dining room for the entire evening for a required minimum charge. Special menus can be designed to suit specific requirements. Heartland also accepts reservations for large parties not requiring a private room with little or no restrictions.

The kitchen sources all of its ingredients from small family farmers and artisan producers who practice sustainable agricultural methods.

Editorial Review for Heartland Contemporary Midwestern Restaurant – by Donna Tabbert Long

In Short
The roomy space is sophisticated, with an Arts and Crafts motif creating understated grace. Music is mellow and acoustics are light. Aromas from the kitchen are intoxicating, and the place buzzes with groups of friends and couples on dates. Entrees might include pan-roasted morsels of rabbit loin in a mild pheasant broth, or wild boar tenderloin, sweet with homemade rich plum ketchup. Desserts include sugar pumpkin pillows with caramel syrup and chocolate-chestnut truffles.

Heartland is a great restaurant for a special occasion. The food is delicious, and reasonably priced for the quality of ingredients. The staff was very friendly and helpful when asked questions about food and wine recommendations. I will definitely be back, and have highly recommended Heartland to many people.

My boyfriend and I have gone to Heartland four times now. Each time has been a treat. We enjoy high-quality food made from high-quality ingredients, and the price at Heartland is very reasonable for a special-occasion dinner. Having read some customer reviews complaining about the portions, I'm rather curious as to how much they manage to eat, because we leave there happily full every time. The last time we went was on the 13th with three other friends for a non-romantic Valentines day dinner, and everyone had a great time. All three of them called later to thank us for introducing them to such a wonderful place. One thing the place thankfully lacks is the pressure to be formal. It's gourmet food without the pretentious attitude. I have never felt uncomfortable or out-of-place, and the servers have been nothing but kind, helpful, and efficient. If you ever happen to go there as a couple, try the wine bar. Lenny's wife is awesome, and she made that night our best anniversary dinner to date.
