On a very busy Saturday night, two lovely hostesses at heirloom found a way to get my husband and I right to the bar so it turned out to be one of the best meals we have had since we moved to reston in 2012. We entered through the distillery, which was hopping, and slid into the secret cubbyhole that led to heirloom. The noisy World Cup crowd immediately silenced as we walked to the bar. It was like being in a completely different atmosphere. You can see from the photos attached that the meal was /cr B/ /ump I/ Teges. We started out with these great appetizers. I make a Barada burst at home, we learned in Italy how to do it. Yours was one of the best I've ever had. Same with the lemon ricotta ravioli. It's like we were in Sicily again. Sitting at the bar, we decided sure why not have their best steak? And we did. And it was. This was a Prime Kansas City strip, 18 ounce bone in. on top, a buttery braised shallot. Cooked to perfection, tasty and buttery. Our sides were these nice parmesan crispy, layered potatoes and a delightful grilled leaf spinach. We were a little disappointed we had no room for dessert. But we will be back! The service was spectacular. Sitting at the bar, it was like we had two personal servers and a third on standby at all times. It was fun watching them make the drinks, there is a lot of attention to detail. If you have not tried heirloom, I cannot recommend it more highly. We look forward to returning! read more

Cocktails were good, service was great but my meal was very oily I did tell the waiter who explained it was the "butter" in the pasta They did offer a replacement I personally wouldn't return. The menu wasn't my taste. The burger sounded good but most of the options weren't for me Very small menu Sorbet was delicious The restaurant itself was casual and trendy read more

Heirloom was a fantastic 5-star cocktail experience and such a cool surprise inside Open Road Distillery. We loved the speakeasy vibe and the unmarked door entrance that made the whole experience feel unique and elevated from the start. We originally came to the distillery for food and drinks, but after hearing about Heirloom, we decided to make reservations for cocktails afterward -- and we're so glad we did. The atmosphere was elegant, intimate, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails after dinner. Even though we only came for drinks this time, the experience completely exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be back again and next time hope to try some of the food menu as well. read more

What a cute, speakeasy with excellent customer service and delicious food! So, we came here Sunday and had a great time. The music was good and befitting for the day. The ambiance was cozy and intimate. The waiter was also super great! She very observant and timely with her dish deliveries and water refills. We decided to start with two small plates which were an excellent start to our experience. The Bourbon Glazed Pork Belly was absolutely delicious. From the sauces that were included on the dish to the perfectly cooked and seasoned potatoes... I definitely would recommend this dish to everyone that decides to visit Heirloom. Then the Oysters Rockefeller.... simply put, so much flavor! I then opted to get the Heirloom Burger. All the items that came on the burger added to the taste experience, however, my only wish was that the patty should have been seasoned a tad more. Despite that, my additions of bbq sauce and mayo added to the burger, where the seasoning kind of lacked. Overall, great experience. I will be back! read more

It's discovering places like this that I feel compelled to write reviews for Yelp. My husband and I were picking up our son at Dulles and wanted a nice restaurant to try since we had to make the drive from Richmond. This was number one on the list when I searched best restaurants in Reston and it did not disappoint! Heirloom is tucked away in the distillery and has a cozy speakeasy feel with green velvet booths and an eclectic seafood forward menu. Cocktails : Manhattan - top notch My sweet side piece - fun presentation with table side bubbles! Feels a bit like a fall drink. Warm spice. Very tasty and too easy to drink fast lol Apps: We got the baked shrimp and the beef carpaccio. Both outstanding and so flavorful. Just needed some bread to soak up the sauce in the baked shrimp. The lemon rind in the shrimp was a perfect compliment to the sauce and the carpaccio was perfectly seasoned and the thinnest slices I have ever had which made it delicate and delicious. Entrees: We got the sea bass and the short rib bolognese. Blown away by how good both of these were and so very different. The short rib bolognese had a rich but not heavy flavor with fresh pasta and a delightful velvety spiciness - not heat though. The sea bass was crispy on the outside and perfectly cooked with a carrot ginger puree that was sublime with the spinach and fish. We loved both of these entrees. Really wanted dessert but sadly not more room which was better for our stomachs and our wallets. It's not a cheap endeavor here but worth the cost for a fabulous meal out and a very cool vibe. read more

I have been wanting to try this cute speakeasy in Open Road Distillery. It's behind a nondescript door near the bathrooms. Food (5/5): I could not believe that this cute speakeasy had a $10 drink and $10 food menu from 4-6pm on weekdays. it's definitely one of the best deals in the NOVA area for Happy Hour! The best part is that you can get the happy hour menu anywhere at the tables not just the bar! This is amazing!!! https://heirloomreston.com/hh/ $10 Happy Hour food: CRISPY CALAMARI parmesan, vodka sauce, pesto aioli - this was amazing.. really good calamari that melts in your mouth! WAGYU MEATBALLS marinara, garlic bread - these were really hearty and delicious BELGIAN STYLE MOULES FRITES applewood smoked bacon, leeks, fines herbes - these were great - they came with a big side of fries and the mussels were really good. SHORT RIB AND CHEESE SLIDERS pickled pepper relish, mornay sauce - these were my least favorite of the HH food - the short rib was was a bit mealy in texture and you could't really taste the cheese. There was only 2 sliders per order. We also tried the burrata ($19) which was not on the happy hour menu, but it was delicious. The flavors were complex and it was a balanced dish and totally worth it. Drink: Gold rush ($10) was a fabulous drink. We were celebrating a birthday and at the end of the meal they brought out half glasses of prosecco for us. it was a great way to end the meal! Service (5/5): We had a great server. One of my friends had been there before and knew one of the sommeliers and he sent over a free focaccia. This was great, although the bread was more like a thick wheat bread rather than a traditional focaccia. Ambiance (5/5): The private velvet booths were great. I really enjoyed the quietness of the restaurant read more

Our first speakeasy experience in the DMV. While we aren't drinkers I can see the appeal as the drinks were the stars. The food,service and ambiance were also wonderful. We loved it and can't wait to come back. read more

Heirloom is tucked inside Open Road Distillery. As LOUD and raucous as Open Road is, Heirloom is quiet and relaxing and luxurious. The service was excellent. Our waiter Grant was very attentive and sweet. My friend asked questions about wine, and they brought her 2 sample pours with recommendations for a 3rd wine to consider - and the offer of a sample pour of that as well. She enjoyed the recommended vintage. We started with the herb focaccia. It came with 3 delicious spreads but the whipped ricotta was my fav. My friend had the beef bolognese and really enjoyed it. I didn't taste any but it smelled divine. I had the cioppino which was full of seafood in a rich tomato-based broth - super yummy. We shared the sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream for dessert. The food was great as was the service. We'll definitely return. read more

Heirloom is where my partner and I got dinner after we got married/eloped. Our server on Sept 5 made it feel special for us, and we're really grateful for him! We caught the tail end of happy hour and ordered everything on the menu to start. It was filling so we didn't end up ordering additional food. However, everything was delicious. If we had to choose, the french onion dip was probably our least favorite of the selection. We also enjoyed the "FRESH Out" mocktail and the "Sunset in Reston" cocktail. The tiramisu was an interesting take on the classic dessert. They also brought out a little extra sweet for us and glasses of champagne. I can't wait to go back! I love the ambiance. read more

4/5 and I'm giving 4 instead of 3 because of one staff and the price of happy hour. Otherwise without the one staff, the service was extremely mediocre for the type of place this is supposed to be. SERVICE: we came for happy hour on a weekday in early July and the first person to greet us was a guy who seemed to be the manager. Black man with long hair. Because of him, this place gets higher stars. He was great. The bartenders barely spoke, barely looked at us, and I don't get how everyone is saying everyone there is friendly? Unfortunately I didn't get the name of the one guy. FOOD: came for happy hour and it's worth it. Well, most of it. The mussels and fries is the best deal. We got slides but they were quite small, still not a bad deal for $10. We got the burger off the regular menu and it was good, expensive but at least it's stacked. AMBIANCE: very good, I wish it was a tad darker for that mysterious feel but that's just a little preference and not part of my scoring read more

Heirloom never disappoints! The food is always fresh (I could eat their mussels every day)! Our server was fantastic. I never had to ask for a refill and she checked in on us frequently (it was a friend's bday and she brought us all champagne). The ambiance is moody - it's honestly pretty dark - we all have to bring out of our phones to read the menu but worth it, and it's unique in that way. The entrance can be tricky, as it's literally inside Open Road - and through two black doors (thought it was for employees only). There's ample parking in the garages too! read more

The mussels on the main menu were really good with that sweet and savory tomato broth dipped in the buttery herby toast. The herb focaccia was a very sourdough cold bread, which wasn't the best recommendation by the waiter but it did give us more bread to dip the mussel broth in. The bucatini was a THICK noodle, which was so good with a rich tomato meat sauce. For mains, we got the short rib which was so tender and soft with a rich and thick sauce (but also a tad bit too salty for me). The cab filet was cooked perfectly (the answer is always medium rare) and cut so easily--a good amount of fat on it. For dessert we got the peach cobbler, and the sticky toffee. The peach cobbler was a lighter dessert and paired well with ice cream while the sticky toffee was so rich and tasted a bit like cereal from the toffee (would have been nice to have a bitter black coffee to go with it). read more

The ambiance of the restaurant was nice. The low lighting and jazz music was very enjoyable. However the table next to me and very loud and disruptive to my meal which isn't the restaurants fault. I got the wild mushroom ravioli and I was very disappointed by be size of the dish for the price. It only comes with a few ravioli for $19. The server did warn me, so I got a side to supplement the meal. I went with the truffle fries and was very disappointed that it had rosemary on the fries as that was not listed and I very much dislike rosemary. My husband got seafood cioppino which he loved! I tried some of the dish as well and really enjoyed it which is surprising because I am picky with seafood. For dessert we got the sticky toffee pudding and it was the highlight of the meal for me. It was so delicious. read more

Visited Heirloom Saturday night to celebrate a birthday and it was such a great experience. There is a parking deck right across the street but come alittle earlier than your reservation as it gives DC wharf parking garage. The speakeasy is tucked away in open road distillery so easy to find, tell the hostess you're looking for heirloom once you enter the restaurant. The vibe is super cute, cozy, dark lights, seating and aesthetic are chef's kiss, there is sexy and romantic feel (true speakeasy vibes in the northern Va area). There is music playing in the background that gives r&b date night/feel good and is high enough to hear and sing if you please but low enough not to disrupt your conversation. The waiter and service were amazing and he was very knowledgeable about the menu. Recommended a few items, a couple of which we selected. At the table we had the: 1. house made focaccia (the tomato fondue and the ricotta spread were the highlights of the three spreads) 2. short rib ravioli: so goood but be mindful it's a small serving that will leave you yearning for more if you brought an appetite 3. Heirloom burger: juicy and flavorful, the side of Parmesan crispy layer potatoes didn't have much flavor but the crispiness of them were great 4. Dessert: peach cobbler: warm and delightful and a pretty good size! Drinks: we had the bartenders flavor of the week, the Ken vs ryu, the cafe de soul (a play on an espresso martini but tropical), and the proper latte. All were 10/10, 100% recommend. They have a mixologist back there not a bartender. We ended the night with two free glasses of champagne to celebrate the birthday. 1,000% will return as this really is a special and great spot without having to go to DC for folks who love speakeasies like I do. read more

Very impressed with Reston! This is such a great addition to the area. Fun little speakeasy inside of the distillery. Really pretty in there, love the lighting, love the bar. Service was great, no issues. Drinks were decent but kind of expected more. Food was fantastic. We started with focaccia that came with 3 spreads, and honestly keep some to dip in all the sauces from the apps and entrees. We had the baked shrimp and octopus, octopus was reallllyyy good and unlike any octopus I've had before. For the mains we shared the gnocchi which was the perfect texture, the seabass that melted in your mouth, and the short rib that was so tender and flavorful. Everything was really good! Can't wait to come back and try more dishes. read more

Heirloom is a speakeasy-style restaurant hidden inside a brewing company. Once inside, the atmosphere feels intimate with low lighting and smaller table seating. The space is beautiful, highlighted by a stunning bar display. The food is absolutely delicious. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Heirloom changes its menu occasionally. The offerings from December were completely different from my most recent visit in May. I was a little sad to see the wagyu pasta and wagyu burger go, but I was not disappointed with the new selections. During this visit, we started with the beef carpaccio, which was a bit overly salted but still enjoyable, and the baked shrimp, which was perfect. For my entrée, I had the short rib, which was incredibly tender and juicy. It practically melted in my mouth. All of the desserts were outstanding and definitely worth saving room for. Service has always been excellent. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and provide thoughtful recommendations when needed. I highly recommend making a reservation, as this place tends to be fully booked on weekends. If you are not able to get the date or time you want, check back a few hours before your visit because openings sometimes become available. read more

Heirloom is inside of Open Road Distilling Co. behind onyx black doors towards the back of the brewery. It was such a fun speakeasy experience for my friends and me this past Thursday evening. I wasn't expecting much because I'm not into alcoholic drinks, but the interior was elegant, dark, yet lively ambiance! Also, the food was, for the most part, really good?? This is rare for a spot that is more known for their drinks. LA VARIABLE - 14 This is their weekly non-alcoholic drink (not the actual name of it) but it was a green tea (?) based drink with a really creamy matcha foam that was delicious. It was not too sweet, flavors went well together, and it honestly was gone too quickly. HOUSE MADE HERB FOCACCIA - 10 Each order came with five thin pieces of perfectly toasted, herb focaccia that came with three dips: whipped ricotta, tomato fondue, and cultured butter. The focaccia itself was soft, with a nice chew, and well-seasoned. But this review is about the dips. I tried the whipped ricotta first, and it was light, creamy, and savory, and paired wonderfully with the bread, just as expected. I wasn't expecting much from the tomato fondue, but the depth of the flavors blew me away. It was rich and homey, almost like a grandmother's warm hug. This ended up being our favorite. The cultured butter was our least favorite, but it was still great. It was creamy and nicely salted, but the most ordinary one out of the three. We were quite impressed just from the focaccia. MUSHROOM RAVIOLI - 19 Each order came with three large mushroom ravioli, topped with some crispy mushrooms, fresh herbs, and parmesan, and in some porcini mushroom broth. The ravioli was filled with a very mushroom-forward ricotta (?) filling that was a bit thin and flowed everywhere on my plate. For a ravioli, I prefer something slightly thicker so the filling doesn't get everywhere when I cut it up to eat. The flavors were good, but compared to everything else we ordered, this one wasn't as impressive. SMOKED GOUDA MAC - 12 The cavatappi (corkscrew-shaped pasta) was mixed generously with a thick, smoked gouda sauce and topped with a generous amount of breadcrumbs and freshly-grated parmesan cheese. It was rich, creamy, and smoky. Each bite left me wanting more and more, and we also enjoyed it with some of the leftover porcini mushroom broth from the mushroom ravioli. PAN ROASTED CHILEAN SEA BASS - 47 The sea bass sat on top of a neat pile of sautéed spinach mixed with some aromatics with diced tomatoes on top. It was surrounded by two different sauces, with the carrot ginger puree sitting on one half and the lemon beurre blanc on the other. The sea bass was tender and soft, not much seasoning on its own but meant to be eaten with the garlicky, crunchy vegetables and the sauces. And both sauces were so tasty! The carrot ginger puree was a mix of sweet and savory, and the lemon beurre blanc was creamy and citrusy. I didn't have a favorite because I enjoyed both! This was on the pricier side, but a phenomenal option. 7 OZ GLAZED DUCK BREAST - 38 The duck breast was glazed with an orange chipotle sauce, cut into nine pieces to be enjoyed with the blackberries and orange pieces on the side. The fruits were mixed with a cheesy flavor so it was a mix of sweet, tart, and savory, which was unique. However, the duck (which we requested medium-rare) was more like a medium-well. It was chewy and not tender, which was disappointing. For the side, our server recommended the Colcannon (Irish-style mashed potatoes mixed with cabbage and green onions), a phenomenal choice! The potatoes were whipped and well-seasoned and aromatic with some crunchy texture, and we enjoyed it so much. Our only qualm besides minor food critiques (their seafood options seem to be better) is that the food took awhile to be prepared and served. Besides that, I had a lovely time with my friends, and I would take people out of town here! read more

Everyone has to experience this amazing restaurant tucked away inside Open Road Distilling Co! Once you enter the unassuming double doors and locate the Speakeasy themed space you are transported to a dining experience you will remember forever and few can compare.

From start to finish we felt as if we were the only people in the restaurant. The Small Plates started our dinner out perfectly and promised more amazingness to come! Our cocktails were all expertly crafted and the perfect compliment to the menu. Entrees included the Bucatini, the Cioppino, the Heirloom Wagyu Burger, the Short Rib and the Chicken. Superb execution and presentation! Complimentary Champagne and Sorbet rounded out our evening. Memories made of a most special day! You will NOT be disappointed!

Ragz and I did date night here this week. The place has been on my to do list for a bit now and I'm glad we could go. They call themselves a modern speakeasy fine dining establishment. It's hidden kinda behind the bar at Open road distillery but not very hard to find. The ambience of the place reads fancy and expensive. I really loved their bar - beautifully build with clean lines and very nicely lit. The rest of their decor is a little confusing to me - the green upholstery seemed like the wrong color of jewel themed green they seemed to be going for. Our booth, while very comfortable, had an odd table. There were old marks and indents in the table ( and all other tables) which made it feel like it didn't belong in the place. Lighting was great, no complaints. Service - Alex was nice, but the first half of service was slow honestly. Might have been amplified by the fact that we were both starving, haha. Her wine recommendation was on point though, so I gotta give her that. The lady at the table next to us continued to get animated by the minute as she drank more, which was interesting to witness. Anyway, on to food - it was a solid 4 star meal. We started where the focaccia ( the tomato confit was to die for). I liked it overall, but the fat content in the bread was really a bit much (this is coming from me, a butter junkie). The beet and burrata salad was amazing - perfect balance of flavors and fhe cheese was just the best texture. I think the croutons were confusing though, very large and unwieldy to eat. Ragz had the wagyu burger. He enjoyed it but felt the patty didn't read melt in your mouth wagyu. The bun was delicious! The layered potatoes that came as an accompaniment were honestly very disappointing. Bland and oily even though I could see these were painstaking to make. Over salted on the outside and completely bland inside. I had the mushroom ravioli. It delivered and then some! The mushroom jus was just so full of flavor and the pasta itself was beautiful delicate and fresh. I'd have this again any day. We shared the apple tarte tatin to complete our night. Pretty well made and a good size portion. I think the caramel was a bit too sweet for me, but it was a solid dessert regardless. Glad we were able to come here and I think it's a great addition to the fledgling modern fine dining scene in this area. read more

Fun atmosphere, top-notch service, and delicious food. You go through an unmarked double door inside Open Road Distillery. For 2 people, we got the focaccia, a huge salad, and the largest short rib pasta. The waiter learned we were sharing everything so they split all the dishes for us ahead of time. Pricey mains for $30-40. I would go for happy hour for better deals. For the dark moody atmosphere, it's just a little too loud. read more

A recent Friday evening to Heirloom in Reston found us in a secluded, yet somewhat crowded speakeasy environment. We were thankful we had made a reservation. It was noisier than expected and our table was quite dark. We received prompt friendly service. Our server knowledgeably explained the drink options, the menu, and provided us with a few suggestions. We ordered cocktails, for me the Peace and Co. and my dining companion enjoyed the Maple Old Fashioned. Both were delightful despite being quite potent. For starters, we shared the Beef Carpaccio and Burrata. The portions were generous and the Burrata was delicious. Rich, creamy, and fresh tasting, the cheese was perfectly complimented, but we wished there were more beets and pears. This may have been our favorite dish of the evening. The Carpaccio was beautifully presented, but lacked pizzazz, perhaps it was the aioli which derailed it for us. For main courses, I chose the Seafood Cioppino and my dining partner had the Short Rib. Again the portions were generous and the presentation was on point. My criticism would be the Cioppino broth was a tad spicy for my liking, but the mix of seafood was just what my pallet desired and the Foccacia was a nice touch although it would have been better without the aioli. The short rib was tender and savory, but the red wine jus may have overpowered the beef just a tad. Of course, we couldn't depart without trying several desserts. We selected the Apple Tarte Tatin and the Chocolate Hazelnut Dome. The apple tart may just have pushed the Burrata down a notch; paired with a yummy Cappuccino it proved a delicious delight to finish the night. Heirloom was a good choice for us to try and outshines many of the other Reston Town Center restaurants. With attentive, but not overwhelming service; a unique atmosphere; and culinary potential, a few minor tweaks could put Heirloom among northern Virginia's better dining experiences. read more

I'm a big speakeasy fan and while this is speakeasy light...it was a great experience. You'd never think that behind black doors that appears to lead to a kitchen it'd open up to a vibrant restaurant. Service was impeccable. The burrata and house made focaccia were great starters. The Sea Bass and Short Rib was cooked to perfection and bursting with flavor. The Old Fashions were great...I prefer regular old fashions (which I ordered)...my wife got the one on the menu and enjoyed, a bit too sweet for my liking. All in all a great experience and we'll be back for special occasions. read more

Wow. Just wow. Every dish we had was amazing. This is one of the first restaurants we have been to in a while that had a really cool vibe, great service, drinks, and every dish exceeded our expectations. To start, we ordered the baked shrimp which comes with a tomato lemon beurre blanc and Parmesan crumbs. The sauce was so good! We ordered 3 main dishes: Sea bass: comes with ginger carrot puree, garlic spinach, and fresh tomatoes. So good and the fish was cooked perfectly Mushroom ravioli: comes with three ravioli, mushrooms, and a porcini broth. Yum! A little messy to eat, but really good. Peppered ahi tuna with cabbage, red wine jus and potato pave. The potato pave were delicious little pillows of goodness. The ahi was perfectly seared and phenomenal with the red wine jus and cabbage. read more

This restaurant is hidden within another restaurant like a speakeasy which was a fun detour. The inside was dark and moody and a lot quieter than the other restaurant which I appreciated. Dinner tasted great with burrata panzanella, yummy scallops and my friend got the roasted chicken. The burrata was creamy and rich yet sweet with the peaches and my scallops were cooked perfectly. I would have given 5 stars, but my friend got really sick after and I don't know if it was because of her meal here. read more

Overall we had a very good experience. The disappointments were the following: red wines were served cold (really?), while the short rib was fall off the bone tender, it had very little flavor, the tuna carpaccio was mostly a salad light on tuna and lastly the shrimp gnocchi amazingly fluffy and tasty, had only a few pieces of shrimp (the waiter pointed out that the shrimp comes chopped up, as it was being served) and was too oily. The Wagyu burger was excellent as well as the focaccia, chocolate dome and berry crisp. Not so sure we'll return. read more

We didn't realize Heirloom is a speakeasy restaurant inside a distillery, as there are no signs of it from the street. Once we found the double black doors passed the bar, we thought it was going to lead to the kitchen.. but surprise it leads to the restaurant! The food was great (though you'll need more than just a main if you're hungry) - I had the short rib ravioli, which came with 3 half-stuffed pastas. I had questions about the zero proof drinks and our waiter told me that neither the Dirty piña colada was sweeter than the Fresh Out and noted that the olive brine should stay in the drink as made (I decided to try it w/ the peach cobbler, but ended up sending back). I'm not sure if he had a monotone voice/lack of expression/end of a long shift, but our interactions just seemed a little robotic. He did wish us a Happy Anniversary several times though ‍ read more

We went for happy hour for a little date night. It's inside Open Road which was a little confusing when walking up from the parking garage. It has a very speakeasy vibe starting with the entrance. I had a spicy margarita that was tasty but very small. The whole glass was overflowing with ice. For food we loved everything. The calamari was a standout-very tender and well seasoned. The meatballs were really good too. Also loved the focaccia. The bartender was really nice. We would def go back. read more

Double date night. Whoop whoop! I wanted to go somewhere different. So McDreamy and I rustled up our friends and headed to a speakeasy. Now when I say speakeasy, I mean you are going to have to know where to go to find the place. Otherwise, you are going to find yourself standing in the middle of Open Road with your mouth agape. Hint: find the black double doors near the bar. Thankfully, no secret code required. But reservations are strongly recommended lest you have to sit at the door staring longingly at patrons who made them and were being seated. Overall, we had a fun time. The venue was dark and cosy as one would expect a speakeasy to be. Noise levels were moderate to low. Our server was friendly. For Reston, the drink prices were a bit steep. But the food was portioned well (i.e. not heaps of food, rather portions that a human not desiring diabetes would enjoy) and was very good. I wish I could tell you more. But I drank a lot of gimlets, which were delicious, (not the DD for a change) and the evening ended fuzzily. If you can find it, go to Heirloom. It'd be excellent for a romantic date night or a small group night out, like ours . read more

I made reservations for my husband's birthday at this restaurant and it did not disappoint. It was the first time for both of us dining at Heirloom. There is a parking garage that's connected to the restaurant and there's free parking after 5pm in the garage - that's a plus! We had a bit of a hard time finding the entrance of this place and had to ask the host where the 'secret entrance' was at. After finding the entrance, the ambiance of the restaurant is dark and moody. It's definitely a great spot for celebrations. We ordered several dishes to try: -House made herb focaccia .... 5/5 -Pan roasted sea scallops .... 5/5 -Red wine braised short rib .... 5/5 -Apple tarte tatin .... 5/5 Everything we tried was really good. I would definitely come back and try some of the other dishes. The menu definitely had some great options to pick from. I definitely would recommend this spot! read more

Heirloom is a gorgeous speakeasy-style restaurant with superb food, creative cocktails, and excellent customer service. My husband made a reservation to celebrate a friend's visit, and I was extremely impressed. Each course was excellent and suggested based on our individual tastes. We started with cocktails and the focaccia before moving on to entrees of short rib ragu, sea bass and steak. My husband's steak was slightly overcooked but that's easy to do as he prefers Black and Blue. Each dish was superb and well presented. I want to mention that the staff never once made us feel rushed, even as we pushed up against closing time. Heirloom is very pricey, but for our special occasion, it was worth a night of culinary pleasure read more

My husband and I visited Heirloom last night and really enjoyed the experience. The vibes are very West Elm after dark. It is a small restaurant, but a very good quality one. Service was excellent. We started with the happy hour calamari, which had multiple interesting and tasty sauces. It was a very good size appetizer for $10 on the happy hour menu. We also ordered the focaccia, which had 3 spreads that were very flavorful. For our mains, I had the duck with the potatoes. The duck was thin sliced and was in a very flavorful sauce. It was perfection. My husband ordered the steak with the Mac and cheese. Everything was prepared perfectly. I would highly recommend checking out this place. read more
