I've now been three times, once for business, once for trying all of their drinks and one with my wife. I was surprised at how good the food was for what they call a speakeasy. I think it's more of the people that appreciate good drinks and higher quality food. I' think the Heirloom cocktail is probably my favorite, it' tastes like a mezcal Negroni but less Campari tasting. It was great with the oyster Rockefeller. That's my favorite appetizer on the menu. I love the seabass, and the chicken. My last visit the filet was so so. But the layered potatoes are very interesting and delicious. The technique is very different from any potato preparation I have seen. The last waiter asked me if I wanted any sauces and I asked if they had any Au Poivre and he said I have no idea what that is. Seriously?!? He was a bit odd and his service was lackluster. He's the only one, everyone else is fantastic. The scene is modern but simple. The dress is casual however I like to dress a bit nicer for respect since the food is elevated. Definitely make a reservation through open table and enjoy. read more

Speakeasy restaurant right inside Open Road Distillery (subtle entrance by the restrooms)! The restaurant is dim lit and cute inside--it's fairly small, but we had reservations and were seated right away at a booth for four ppl. Overall food was okay. For starters, enjoyed the Blue Bay Mussels and Oysters Rockefeller--both well flavored, I kept dipping my bread in the mussel sauce. The Oysters only came in a set of 3, which I thought was an odd number and not enough for us--why not serve half dozen like most places. Beef Carpaccio and Caesar Salad were okay, nothing special. For entrees, the Spicy Bucatini and Shrimp Fettuccine pasta dishes were good but the portions are small, not shareable size. Most disappointing was the 24 oz. Prime Porterhouse Steak--so bland with no flavor, extremely underwhelming and a waste of $78--I expected better for this one. The Smoked Gouda Mac and Roasted Mushroom side dishes were pretty good. Since we were celebrating a birthday, the server brought out a small complimentary dessert with a candle, which was nice! We tried the Sticky Toffee Pudding which was delicious. Cocktails were made fine--drinks started off at $14. Service was okay--for a Monday night with not many people there, I would think service would be a bit more attentive--but aside from that, staff were friendly. read more

We were recently staying near Dulles Airport for a trip. After seeing a lot of great reviews and the menu, we opted for dinner at Heirloom. We loved the happy hour menu and decided to do a reservation within that timeframe. Loved that happy hour was available at the bar and tables! The cocktails on the HH were great! The different types of glassware for each type of drink were stunning. We wanted to do a little bit of everything so tried the HH meatballs, short rib sliders, focaccia bread, mushroom ravioli and sea bass. Everything was incredible but we loved the sea bass the most! Sharif, our server, was amazing. He timed each course out perfectly and was present without being too overbearing. The interior was beautiful and romantic with low lighting and velvet green booths. read more

Heirloom - Mushroom Ravioli - Salad Near Me - Reston, Virginia

Heirloom is a hidden gem in the Reston area, offering an upscale speakeasy experience. It can be a bit tricky to find on your first visit. The address leads you to a brewery restaurant. Head to the back of the brewery, and you'll find a door with a rose handle. Once you open this door, your speakeasy experience begins. You'll pass through a second door and be greeted by the host. I recommend making reservations since it is always busy. The ambiance is romantic with a retro-modern look. All tables are candlelit, which can make it a bit dark if your eyesight isn't great. True to speakeasy tradition, they have excellent cocktails and traditional drinks, and the bar looks fantastic. The menu is limited, but the food was great. I love a good mac and cheese, and theirs did not disappoint. Heirloom is a great place for a date or a girls' night out, but I wouldn't recommend it for families with young kids. The prices are on the higher side, but they are part of the upscale experience and living in northern Virginia. read more

Stopped by tonight and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Honestly I couldn't believe this was inside of Open Road and I absolutely loved the speakeasy vibe. I came with 2 others and we ordered the focaccia, the burrata, the sea bass, the scallops, the spicy bucatini (actually spicy and very good), the sticky toffee pudding (sooo good), and the apple tarte tatin (sooo good and very shareable). Everything was absolutely delicious. I honestly wasn't expecting much since RTC restaurants can only get so good, but this was downtown-DC-level tasty. Not to mention the extensive cocktail menu. (I tried both mocktails and they were both delish as well). I thought the whole "speakeasy" thing was just gonna be a big gimmick, but Heirloom honestly delivers impeccable service, amazing vibes, and quality food. Overall, I can't wait to come back here with friends and family and for special celebrations. read more

Shhh--it's a secret! No, those aren't patrons who have had one too many at Open Road Distillery opening the wrong door to the bathroom. It's a speakeasy serving a small upscale food menu and cocktails from the same distillery! We have been there twice now and haven't been let down with ANY of their carefully crafted cocktails (try the Take Out for a fun surprise) or delicious food. We enjoyed the sea bass and the gnocchi (just perfectly puffy.) read more

Tucked away behind double doors, that to some might appear to be hidden, at the back of Open Road Distilling Co., Heirloom delivers an unforgettable speakeasy experience. From the moment you step inside, the vibe shifts--an elegant, dimly lit space with just enough energy to keep it vibrant without losing the sense of intimacy. My wife and I had such a great time here. Whether it was the thrill of finding it or the cozy yet upscale ambiance, it struck all the right notes. The food was on point: - The Tuna Carpaccio was delicate and flavorful--super fresh and beautifully plated. - The House Focaccia was warm and comforting, perfect for sharing. - The Caesar Salad--simple but done right, with crisp greens and a well-balanced dressing. - The Red Wine Braised Short Ribs--tender, rich, and deeply satisfying. Every bite melted in our mouths. A critique, I would have enjoyed it better if it was sweeter. But, it wasn't a deal breaker. This place is a hidden gem! It makes you feel like you've discovered a secret worth sharing. We'll absolutely be back. read more

I kept hearing amazing things about Heirloom that had recently opened so I had to come check it out and it absolutely lived up to the hype!! To begin with the food - there was no going wrong with this menu. My friend and I split all the food we got and it was the perfect amount for us. We got the home made herb focaccia, mussels, wild mushroom ravioli and the chocolate dome - all of which were amazing. My personal favorite dish was the wild mushroom ravioli - the flavors were absolutely perfect. The service was a 10/10 as our waitress was super kind and helped us make the right decision on dessert as that chocolate dome is a must eat. The vibes inside were also phenomenal - the lighting is super dim inside and definitely gives off the ideal speakeasy vibe. I highly recommend checking this place out :) I will definitely be coming back again to try more of the menu items! read more

It was super cute, the food was good, and we had a great time....but the cocktails (the main draw, allegedly the best in NOVA!) were just ok. I had the burger and the burrata, which did not disappoint. But literally all the cocktails were some variation of tequila or bitter (shrubs, amaro, aperol, etc) so I ended up just not picking a cocktail at all, to my great disappointment. My friends who did get cocktails (who like bitter and tequila-based drinks) said they were just ok. They should really work on the variety of things available to order, or I probably would not come back. read more

Warning if you are looking for this speakeasy style restaurant in Open Road Distillery at RTC as there are no signs and you enter via a black door towards the back of the restaurant just before the restrooms. Of course, you can ask the hostesses and they will escort you back. It is a nice looking restaurant with a big bar to the left and tables to the right. There is also a nice sized event space that can hold approximately 14-18 folks so if you have a holiday/special event this is a good pick. I won't go into details as we ordered several dishes as appetizers but I will say they were all very tasty (gnocchi, ravioli, foccaccia, etc. Personally ordered the KC Strip and that was cooked on point and a flavorful piece of meat. Everyone was very pleased. Based on this first visit, a solid 4.5 stars. Definitely want to return and try the other dishes. read more

This is my third time visiting Heirloom, but my first time writing a Yelp review, and Heirloom is the reason.  The food, drinks, service, and atmosphere were all stellar, every time I have gone.  The restaurant is designed to have a speakeasy vibe, and it is tucked away inside of the Open Road distillery in Reston . This time, we did the Big Back Special and ran the gamut on Happy Hour plates:  Crispy Calamari, French Onion Dip, Wagyu Meatballs, Moules Frites, and Short Rib Sliders; plus we added the Beef Carpaccio because why not. I only took pictures of three of the dishes because I was too busy eating.   Crispy Calamari: Flaky and light, crunchy not soggy, crispy on the outside, and tender, perfectly cooked squid on the inside. The seasoning was spot on--savory with a little hint of spice--and the two different  dipping sauces took it to another level.  Easily one of the best calamari plates I've had in a long time.   French Onion Dip:  Creamy, rich, and bursting with deep caramelized onion flavor, it's the best version of a classic dip I've ever had. The balance of savory and slightly sweet notes from the onions is perfect, and the creamy dip makes the ultra-crunchy potato chip pop even more. These stole only suggestion I have would be to serve thicker chips so they don't break in the dip.   Wagyu Meatballs: From the first bite, you can tell this dish is going to be extraordinary. The texture is incredibly tender--juicy and buttery, just as you'd expect from high-quality Wagyu beef. They practically melt in your mouth. Seasoned to perfection with a rich, savory depth, umami bursts from each bite. Served with lightly-toasted, buttery focaccia (perfect for soaking up every--and I mean EVERY--last drop of sauce) Out of the five apps we tried today, all were great, but this was my favorite. Maybe.   Belgian-Style Mussels: Plump, tender, and incredibly fresh--they soaked up all the rich, savory flavors of the broth beautifully. The white wine, garlic, shallots, and fresh herbs created a delicate flavor that is smooth and subtle. It was the full Belgian experience.  By the time I was done, it felt like I was in cozy bistro In Bruges (Can we reserve judgement on Bruges until we've seen the place?)   Short Rib Sliders - I tried to save these for last, but I interrupted my first app to sneak a bite, and it did not disappoint.  The meat was unbelievably tender, slow-cooked to perfection, and packed with rich, savory flavor. You could tell the short rib had been braised low and slow--it practically melted in your mouth with every bite.  Served on soft, toasted buns with just the right amount of tangy slaw and a hint of sauce. Each bite was a brief trip to comfort food heaven. Okay this one may have been my favorite. Beef Carpaccio: Razor-thin slices of beef covered with a light sauce and micro greens to freshen the dish, please try this if you go to Heirloom. This is my third time having it. We have ordered every time we have gone. The crispy, crunchy gaufrette potatoes bring it full circle. Can I have multiple favorites?   As for the drinks, I have never been underwhelmed by any of the drinks served here.  And I've had my fair share.  If you decided long ago that cocktails aren't for you, I politely suggest that you try a couple at Heirloom and revisit that conclusion.  Taste, presentation, alcohol content, and everything in between--including specialty ice cubes, tiki mugs, stencil art, and diet fireworks--were delightful and EFFECTIVE (our bartender must have had hands like Jeff Dabe).  All around fantastic dining experience.  5/5. read more

Amazing speakeasy tucked in the back of another restaurant at the Reston town center. I had the best burger I've ever had and it is a really neat atmosphere. The hostess and servers are very attentive. I highly recommend this location. read more

A little bit hard to find, as it's located inside another restaurant. The mystery made it a good experience though. When you walk in, there is a majestic door that makes it seem like a best kept secret. The ambiance and decor is nice. A little dark to my liking but would be good for a romantic date. Let's talk about the menu. I got the daiquiri cause I like fruity drinks. I was a bit surprised because it was orange but it tasted amazing. All the entrees we had were amazing, and I can say the mussels they used are very meaty and taste fresh. The desserts were good but not great, which is why I knocked a star. But all in all, a great experience and food was phenomenal! read more

Heirloom - Sea bass - Salad Near Me - Reston, Virginia

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was also my first time at a speakeasy! The vibes were darkly lit but classy and fancy (especially with a beautiful bar display). I definitely recommend making a reservation as the restaurant got crowded after we got seated. The food portions are pretty small but we were both impressed with the quality of the pasta dishes that we ordered. I recommend the spicy bucatini (it's not that spicy and I loved the texture of how they cooked their guanciale) and the mafalde genovese (if you love truffles, this is for you!!!!). I also thought that their cocktail was so fancy, especially with their rose shaped ice cube. We finished our meal with the chocolate Hazelnut dome and the service was amazing as they wrote "Happy Anniversary" for us on the dessert plate and had a candle for us too! We totally want to come back for happy hour next time and make sure you go inside Open Road to find this hidden gem! read more

Amazing. Best restaurant we've been to in the DMV area since moving here about 2 years ago. Atmosphere very much fit the speakeasy vibe. Dim lighting with cozy booths. Great place for a date night. Every dish we tried was delicious. We ate every bite and had no leftovers. The stars of the show were the Blue Bay Mussels and the Red Wine Braised Short Rib. Cocktails were also great. Highly recommend the Heirloom and the Bees Knees. read more

SUCH a cool experience. I've never been to a speakeasy before! The food here was to dieeeee for. I was pleasantly satisfied with everything I ordered! The service was great too. I sat at the bar and the bartenders were all personable and open to giving any suggestions or answering any questions the other person in my party had. They gave wonderful recommendations for drinks! The ambiance of the restaurant is very moody. It was dark, but I liked it. After all, it is a speakeasy. For a speakeasy that's on the pricey side, I definitely think it is worth it. read more

A hidden gem in Reston! This stylish, dimly lit speakeasy positions themselves at "elevated comfort food" and is behind black doors inside Open Road Distillery. The drink menu is extensive and unique/creative which I loved, and the food is intentional, yummy and well-priced. We got the focaccia, beef carpaccio, gnocchi (I think it was pesto), short rib main, and ended with the delicious chocolate hazelnut dome for dessert. Will definitely be stopping here again for drinks and bites!! read more

Heirloom is a speakeasy that is located inside Open Road Distillery behind a hidden door. Walking through Open Road and then into Heirloom is a totally different vibe. We had reservations so we were seated immediately. The food was delicious. We ordered some appetizers and the main dishes were two pastas and the scallops. Portions are a bit small for the price that you are paying. Because we were celebrating my birthday, the manager popped a bottle of champagne and poured us some to go with the birthday cake we brought. Overall, the service and food were fantastic. Highly recommended for romantic date night or celebratory occasion. read more

We waited to come here as restaurants need time to work out the kinks. Recently, my husband had a knee replacement and is still recuperating. As he got better, I started thinking about restaurants where parking wasn't a hassle which would make it easier for him when it came to walking. Normally, we would have walked to Heirloom but...he wasn't up to that. So, we went by car as a garage is just across the street. Heirloom is located inside Open Road. In other words, a restaurant inside a restaurant. Open Road is basically a sports bar and brewery themed set up. Heirloom is more upscale and has a totally different menu. We made a reservation for 4 p.m. (which is the time Heirloom opens). It was the only time available. When we got to Open Road, we told the staff at the host stand that we had a reservation and they asked if we knew how to find it. We said it was our first time trying it. One of the staff members walked us over to it. The entry is a large double door with no sign on it. You enter and have to go through a second set of doors. When we entered, the bartender said they were just finishing their set up. No problem. Within a few minutes, we were taken to a side room that had a few tables. We were given the only two top but the table was good sized and didn't feel cramped. The other tables were well spaced. Our server (we never did get her name) was friendly, efficient and helpful. The lights are dim here. Each table has a small battery operated candle, which I used to read the menu. My husband pulled out his phone and realized that he had forgotten how to use the flashlight feature. Our server asked to see his phone and she turned it on for him. When he was finished looking at the menu, she even shut it off for him. Dim lights usually signal a romantic vibe. However, the background music, while not overly loud, was 70s disco music. To me it didn't go with the decor but we didn't mind. For starters, my husband got a glass of Pinot Noir while I got a mocktail called "Vanilla" which consists of: "fresh lemon vanilla, basil soda". It all worked well together. My husband said his Pinot Noir was good quality. Then, we got an appetizer (they call them "small plates"), "House made herb foccacia" which came with: "whipped ricotta, onion jam, sauce vierge, plus chopped black olives". We also added for $5 "Edward's Surryano ham". The foccacia was unique compared to others. It was moist and soft. We added the toppings to our pieces and all worked well together. (For anyone wondering, "Sauce Vierge" is described as --- this is from Wiki---"Sauce vierge is a French sauce made from olive oil, lemon juice, chopped tomato and chopped basil.") For our main courses, I had "Pan roasted Chilean Sea Bass" while my husband had "Hand Cut C.A.B filet" which comes with braised shallots plus a side of your choice. He chose "roasted mushrooms". His steak was good quality, cooked medium rare as he asked for and it was moist and tender. He really enjoyed the mushrooms. My entree consisted of: "carrot ginger puree, garlic spinach, sauce Vierge, lemon beurre blanc". I liked this dish. The fish had a nice crust and a soft interior---easily cut with a fork. The carrot ginger puree was well done as both flavors were quite clear. The spinach was okay and lemon beurre blanc was barely noticeable. We actually had some room for dessert and we chose to share a Crepe Suzette which consists of: "orange marmalade, creme Anglaise, Grand Marinier" Our server brought the plate with 2 spoons. It was kind of messy to eat but delicious. We were glad we gave it a try. This was a splurge of a meal at $160 before the tip. By the time we left, the place was getting busier and a bit louder but not as loud as Open Road. We would consider going yet again. read more

Came here after someone I knew had recommended it. The restaurant is behind two black doors that resemble a storage unit but walking through those doors you're led a room with a door with a rose knob and several picture frames hung on the walls. Walking in, I was surprised how small the interior was but not surprising as it is a speakeasy. We were seated in a back booth and our waiter was great. Super attentive and super easy to chat to. The food was good. I really do recommend getting the focaccia bread, the baked shrimp is just a shrimp scampi sauce (wouldn't recommend it), the short rib was super tender and we swapped out the asparagus for mushrooms, and the scallop risotto was just okay to me (taste is subjective). It was my friend's birthday so they wrote happy birthday on the creme brulee plate which was a super cute touch. Overall, it's a date night place, super dim lighting, good vibes, dress up and have a good night! read more

we decided to go to Heirloom after watching a movie at Look Dine In Cinemas! it was around 9 PM when we left the theatre and walked over to Heirloom. I was a little surprised as to how busy they were on a Wednesday night, but we were quickly seated & they took our order before the kitchen closed for the night. we ordered the wagyu sliders and the steak tip pasta. the wagyu sliders came in a set of three. the meat itself was in meatball form so that was interesting. we enjoyed them nonetheless! the pasta was delicioussssss! the sauce was a lovely compliment to the steak & I thought it was better than the ones from Sweetwater & the GAR brand. this was such a great spot - I loved their decor & that they had so many options for patrons of the restaurant such as an arcade. the bathrooms were also beautiful! ugh, this place was just really nice overall! read more

I had heard good things about Heirloom so I went with coworkers on a weeknight recently. Finding the entrance is fun, it's behind unmarked doors in the brewery in Reston Town Center. Once inside, we were quickly seated. Service was pretty decent. The menu had many items that looked really good, so we tried several different appetizers and entrées and shared. They're somewhat of a speakeasy, so we started with cocktails; I got a Zombie and it came to the table looking fun, with a flame, but the flavors and potency wasn't what I recalled it being. Everything else was amazing! If the menu said something was spicy, it definitely had a nice kick. The pastas were amazing, so was the sea bass and definitely the shrimp! But the tomato sauce that the mussels was some of the most amazing tomato sauce I've had; spicy and very enjoyable! Save room for dessert, they have some great eats for that course as well! I'll definitely return! read more

I love that it's a somewhat hidden speak easy inside a beer place where they also brew their own alcohol too! It fun that when you open the doors you instantly transported into a whole different darker vibe with the rose handle door and picture frames all around. The place is kinda like a vibey upscale bar with lots of seating and do not pass on the food here. The quality was better than many restaurants around! Compliments to our waiter too for giving us amazing recommendations on each menu section, time to decide, and overall a professional but very friendly and chill experience. Only thing is I wish the price was lower on everything by like $3-5 Drinks Victory - 4/5 lightly sweet, very balanced, love the three cherries Weekly special with beets, fig and house made gin - 4/5 very balanced, lightly sweet, refreshing Sparks of joy - 3.75/5 very yummy, not too much cinnamon like I was worried about, very cute show with setting it on fire just like the name suggests. The last couple sips felt slightly too sweet/ syrupy for it to get the full 4 stars but by no means overwhelming El duderino - 2.5/5 this one was ok. Alcohol was pretty strong and bitterness and foam on top is nice and sweet. Somehow when you drink it you taste both at once. Not bad but for sure but especially next to the other drinks not good Food Blue bay mussels - 4.5/5 mussels are cooked perfectly, super tender and yummy! Sauce is very good and I could drink it alone honestly. Perfect tomato but not overpowering flavor, spice and light creaminess. The garlic bread it came with was amazing too, best I ever had! Perfect crisp and soft inside, strong garlic and herb and light truffle flavor. We ate every last drop Spicy bucatini - 3/5 can taste the homemade and nice bite and chew on the noodles. The sauce is good too and lightly spicy but it feels like something is missing to make it taste very good. Maybe more sauce, maybe needs another ingredient. Slightly underwhelming Pan roasted sea scallops - 3.5/5 large, tender and yummy scallops! I love the green curry and the crispy sticky rice was interesting but grew on me too Herb and Parmesan layered potatoes - 3/5 cooked super well and pretty fun. Like a fancy tator tot Apple tarte tatin - 3.5/5 surprisingly light with really flakey and yummy pastry. The ice cream pulls it all together. Nothing felt especially special but felt very well balanced and made read more

Heirloom was fantastic - the food, the service, the ambiance, and especially the drinks. It is nestled within another restaurant - making it a little hard to find, but contributes to the fun and exclusivity of a speakeasy! The service was great - our waiter was attentive but not overbearing. Daniel, one of the managers there, personally stopped by and introduced himself, chatting with us a bit. It was very pleasant. But the best part was the food and drinks! I got the JK - a perfectly sweet and fruity cocktail if you're a fan of those. We started off with the house made focaccia - that had these amazing spreads to add on top of the bread. I definitely recommend getting the ham to go with it (+$6) - it added a nice saltiness to it. I paired it with the Caesar salad (which had sardines - the original way it's made) and lots of cheese! Finally, the gnocchi was super soft and was not too heavy. Overall, really enjoyed my time there and will definitely be coming back! read more

Hidden gem speak-easy restaurant. Fun (but expensive) cocktails finished table side. Don't expect a lot of liquid- the bar relies on heavy ice.

Came here Saturday evening with a reservation to celebrate my birthday. I usually don't come out to Reston because it's a bit far for me, but this was well worth the drive. Heirloom is an elevated and higher end speakeasy that serves some amazing food and drinks. It is located within Open Road. The service was overall phenomenal. The drinks here were made with some local selections. There is a parking structure right next to this place. The entrance to the speakeasy is elegant and fitting. Inside is dimly lit with little lamps at each table. They have a huge selection of wines and other alcohol as well as some virgin drink options. The food was delicious. The Burrata was refreshing and had a nice summer taste with seasonal ingredients such as peaches and tomatoes. The scallops came with a green Thai sauce and a crispy sticky rice. The crispy sticky rice was interesting but it paired with the rest of the dish well. The Gouda Mac and Cheese was fresh and had a good flavor. They offered a complimentary drink for my birthday because the birthday dessert ran out for the day. Ended up getting a dessert and the waitress brought some complimentary sparkling wine. I would return here again in a different season! read more

The place is reminiscent of a speakeasy (I know many surveys commented similarly) but it is accurate. Just as you enter, you see a little recess with a couple of black, nondescript doors. Inside is an intimate, cozy room with a bar and seating for about 50-60 in booths and tables. It was very comfortable and pleasant. Service was exceptional. We went for Happy Hour and were one of the first patrons so our server didn't have many distractions. We were greeted immediately and she continued to check on us regularly. As it was our first visit, the wine/drink, food, and Restaurant Week menus took some time to digest. We finally made our decisions and our drinks came out promptly as did the appetizers. Even as the dining room filled up as time went on, our server continued to check on us frequently until we ordered our meals. The orders were served quickly and efficiently. Our server continued to monitor our meals and checked on us regularly even though she attended to other guests. The food was very good, especially the appetizers. We started with the house made potato chips and caramelized French onion dip and calamari, both of which were excellent. Then we ordered tuna carpaccio, scallops and beef bolognese. The first two were reportedly delicious while the bolognese was neither very saucy nor especially well seasoned. Quantities were generous and prices were moderate by today's standards. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience and the service was excellent. I believe our server's name was Alexis. She was very professional and friendly making our experience memorable. read more

10/10 LOVED everything about this place. From trying to find it, to the ambiance, the food and the service.

Omg, the food. It was cool enough to enter through the brewery via an unmarked door like it's a secret spot only the in-crowd know, but... the food. Our waiter was there when we needed him and not when we didn't. The ambiance was lovely - dark paneling flavor with comfy benches - but not overwhelming. The drinks were excellent. But the food... the appetizer focaccia drowned in butter with three different spreads! The calamari perfectly fried with a nice salty breading and a light touch of sauce! The meatballs in sauce with more focaccia! Mussels with French fries - interesting, not my thing, but fine. But the short rib sliders with Gruyère and sweet pepper sauce will haunt my dreams. We finished with a cold chocolate hazelnut cream - yum - and a toffee pudding that moved us from satisfied to overwhelmed. Best dinner out in months. read more

I love the speakeasy look and feel that Heirloom presents, first and foremost. The restaurant is nestled in a distillery behind black doors. When you enter it has this dim aesthetic and looks very chic inside. The drinks were good, I tried one of the cocktails on their fall menu, Sparks of Joy.
