Upon my visit to Heist Brewery, I expected a casual vibe as it is in NoDa. I was wrong. Everyone was in a hurry and there was a 45min. wait. This isn't a problem especially on a Saturday night for this area. No, what was the problem was the elitist attitude from the staff. Upon asking for the beer list ,which gave no description, the waitress seemed like she had much better things to do. The beer was ok, nothing to praise but my problem was mostly with the food. I ordered the Bacon Cheese Burger plain and well-done (call me crazy but I don't like a side of E.Coli with my meat) and the Rosemary Tots. My friends ordered the 4 Cheese Flatbread pizza. Naturally, my burger came to the table medium and had a ton of the toppings that I didn't want. From what I ate, it was ok but the Tots were just shredded lumps of fried cheese with very little "tot". On the other hand, the Pizza which was delicious at the time, was a fried thin crisp of cheese. After about 1.5hrs. the mood went from a bustling restaurant to a dance club. The DJ started blasting the house music so loud that it literally cleared the place. All in all, from the snootiness of the staff to the overpriced food, I probably wont' be back unless it's to drink only and even then.....there's better places
