This is a fine dining establishment, without the extravagant pricing. Yes, it is perfect for a special occasion, but the pricing allows for much more frequent visits for gastronomic delights. We were especially pleased with the wine selection and modest pricing. There is a selection from a variety of wine appellations. Many have commented on the dining quality, so I won't add to that aspect. I want to deal with the chef's expertise. My wife requested pasta with her chicken, capers, lemon, and mushroom dish. The chef consented to give her pasta instead of the normal sides. What a delight! The chef cooked the pasta to a perfect al dente consistency, and then, properly, finalized the meal by finishing the pasta in the dish's sauce. What a beautiful and flavorful presentation done extemporaneously. The wait staff appears to be properly trained. Water was filled without request or intrusion. The entire meal was well coordinated by the wait staff. You'll find no issues in this aspect of your dining experience.

First off I want to say the staff was absolutely great and very sweet. The food on the other hand was not good at all. The salad was a few pieces of lettuce, one grape tomato cut in half and two cucumbers. My husband's salad they added a $2 for a few pieces of processed cheese and store bought croutons . My husband ordered the carbonara and it was very very bland and underwhelming. I ordered the brie and shrimp pasta. My pasta was very underdone to the point of being crunchy, oily broken sauce, the brie was cold and tossed into the pasta in large chunks and the shrimp was canned shrimp that was so dried I couldn't even bite through it- It was like jerky. For the prices that they have, I was severely disappointed in quality of the food. Been wanting to check this place out for dinner for quite some time and I'm so disappointed.

This was my favorite restaurant in Skowhegan for over twenty years. Have told dozens of people about it. Well went there twice recently. Waited twenty minutes for a glass of wine even though there were no other diners. Gave it another chance. Had to go up to the bar and ask for drinks. Not just drinks were slow service. Prices have increased astronomically. Salads are nothing like they used to be despite the price. Even more disturbing was when we walked out there were two staff members, one sitting at the bar texting and the other chilling.Where are you Cheryl??

This is my favorite spot to meet friends for lunch! You get a 3 course meal for less than $15. You start with a choice of 2 freshly made soups, then a small side salad with a choice of housemade dressings, and then you get to choose from several different main dishes. There is always a plate of freshly baked bread to accompany the meal. The desserts are incredible and this is my absolute favorite spot for a strawberry margarita. You will not find fake strawberry flavor or sour mix here. They use real fruit puree and fresh lime! Sometimes the pace is slow, so be prepared to sit back, relax and enjoy each bite. It is worth it!

I was a little disappointed. We planned my husbands birthday here with the kids. (7total). The lady I made the reservations with was SUPER NICE. We'd have confetti and a candle in dessert.. super thoughtful. None of that happened. Our server, although pleasant, wanted to stand at one end of the table and us to all yell our orders at her, while she leaned against the wall for support...guess she must have been tired. Yeah NO. Like she would get them right and I don't need the people around us trying to enjoy dinner, having to put up w all 7 of us yelling at a supposedly quaint, cozy restaurant. BIG Disappointment there. Food had wonderful flavors. I questioned the Filet as it was 1/2" thick. Most filet mignon is thicker. It was tender, but not sure it was mignon or filet of sirloin. It was good tho. ALL the food was WONDERFUL. Heritage house was always my GO TO Place years ago for a NICE FINE MEal w bananas foster made table side for dessert (no longer done). I will still HIGHLY RECOMMEND the restaurant as the food was tremendous and the server might have been tired, or a bad day. Leaning on the walls (LAZY) and not being trained to walk around for orders...well...that was the big turn off. I felt like Irving Truck Stop with that. The service in a fine restaurant is as important as the quality ingredients and flavors. Not impressed w service. Very impressed w flavors. Recommend.

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in recent memory. We made early reservations because we were attending a show at the Skowhegan opera house later that evening. We made it a point to let our waitress know when we were seated. We were actually the first table seated that evening. We waited an hour for bread to arrive to our table, although we were served our drinks fairly quickly and the house red was a decent glass of wine. When the bread arrived, it was warm and the butter softened. However, we then waited through two baskets of bread for the single appetizer our table ordered. Our salads finally arrived and the homemade Bleu cheese dressing was really good. And then we continued to wait. Our dinner finally arrived 80 minutes after we had been seated. While the specials list was long and impressive, both my husband and I received the wrong meals. He got a basic baked haddock fish despite ordering the Cajun haddock special. I received scallops with rice pilaf that I didn't order and a baked potato on the which I did order. I didn't get the scallop special with plum sauce I had ordered. Both meals were good, what you would get at any decent Maine locale, but not what we had ordered and by that point we would have been late to the show had we sent them back. We didn't have time to even hear the desert menu, and to add insult to injury, the waitress never gave us our leftovers which we had asked to be boxed. The restaurant debit was okay, the table a bit small for a party of four... But I have to say that our water glasses were continually filled which was probably the best part of the experience. Our dining companions said they hadn't eaten at Heritage House in about 13 years and as we left, they commented they finally wouldn't return for another 13 years. I didn't take any photos of our meals. They were typical plating for seafood dishes. Also be prepared to spend $100 or more for two including appetizers and drinks.

Food was absolutely amazing. Service was sub par. The young waitress' attitude was so careless and unprofessional. The entire time she was around our table taking orders she was leaning up against the wall. But food was so exceptional it still deserved 4 stars.

The food is to die for whether you dine in or take out. I had lunch to go, Salmon Chowder, tossed salad and Scallops Gruyere. Also included, fresh bread, rice and carrots. Everything was perfectly cooked, seasoned and delicious.

Made a reservation to the Heritage house, hoping to have the best dining experience in town. Have lived in skowhegan all my life and never came because I don't like to spend much on food. So this was a special treat for me and my party. Let's start with just beverages. Not many options unless you want wine or another alcoholic drink from their full bar. I was looking for any type of zero sugar soda while the only had diet coke. No big deal. We decide to start with a sampler appetizer. It comes out and we all laugh to each other at how much food is there. 2 halves of a stuffed fried jalapeno, 2 frozen mozzarella sticks, and the smallest fried crab cake I've ever seen. I only had a bite of the jalapeno which was underwhelming, and before I could try anything else, the sampler was killed in seconds. We were hungry. Only 1 other table was in at the time, and the food was slow to come out. Hmm, they must be preparing it well and plating it up well enough for instagram, is what I thought. Food comes out looking like any other food you can find in town, and the main courses were also sub par. Plates with overcooked steak full of blood and fat, so the meat does not get proper time to rest. Plus your starch is soaked in blood so don't get a steak with fries, they will be soggy. I had burnt rice in my pilaf, and my chicken was dry. Another member from our party was taking gristle out of their ridiculously small portion of chicken. And these dishes are all $27 and up, mine being the cheapest there. The poorly prepared steak was $36! For strip steak! The food wasn't horrible, but for those prices we expected more. We all couldn't believe how much we were paying for "fine" dining. The name for the resturant is appropriate, since the interior decor looks like it came straight out of my dead grandmother's house. This place should be a museum with the walls looking in need of repair and super old tacky wallpaper. A strange, small, cramped single bathroom set up with a "ladies" sign on it. After all this, we make the mistake of getting dessert and our only request was having the brownie heated before plated and we got a cold half portion of a brownie. Someone should open another fancy restaurant in town, because somehow this place is surviving serving poor food for an average of $32 a plate. The only reason it got 2 stars, was because our waitress was very nice and tended to us very well. She was great, everything else, meh. If you want a better sit down meal in town for half the price, just go to Ken's. Edit: adding this last part the morning after... I was horribly sick all throughout the night and it started 6 hours after eating here... pretty sure I got food poisoning or salmonella.
