| - Had a positively wonderful dining experience at Heirloom! First, for a restaurant only open a month, they really have their act together with everything from drinks to dessert! The service was fabulous, not overbearing, but very attentive.
The restaurant, itself, has a warm cozy aura, and nice soft lighting for a romantic dinner. Because there is carpeting, and the space is large, it is not deafening like most restaurants these days. Now to the food. It was really wonderfully prepared and very fresh. Farm to table with eveyrthing from North Carolina, including the sweet potato vodka Martini!
We had the tasting menu. My favorite dish was the sunchoke soup, with a parmesian crouton in the center. There was a little kick to it which was nice, but not too spicy. I loved the fried beets, and I don't even like beets, so that was a first. The proportions were a bit large for us, as there were so many, but they were great about letting us box things up. The dessert was attractively placed on slate, and was really yummy. A mixture of different flavors and shapes.
Overall, presentation was wonderful, you could tell everything was fresh and flavorful.
I look forward to dining at Heirloom on my next visit!
