  • I had a private dinner of about 22 people at Heirloom this past Monday. The restaurant is usually closed on Monday but they did open for our private dinner. Drove past it initially because I was looking for a sign that matched their website logo but I finally figured it out. Outside they have the most adorable planters and they are totally growing their own stuff (WHICH I LOVE). Instead of mulch they have old bleached out oyster shells which I thought was an adorable touch. Inside is country, homey and charming. The bathroom reminded me of the bathroom in CBGB's circa 1985 (totally dating myself here). I'm not saying anything but if you go there you will get the reference. I thought the bathroom was a surprise and clearly a glimpse into the sense of humor of the owner. I thought it was super fun. Now the food. OMG.....the food. I am a huge fan of the "farm-to-table" movement going on these days. When I'm in NC, I appreciate it more because farm-to-table in North Carolina versus New York isn't much of a comparison. The chef at Heirloom is SUPER passionate about his ingredients and it totally comes through in his food. The clams were delicate and tender, the pate was the best pate I have ever eaten in my life, the sweet potato smores (yes, I said SMORES) were the hit of the Hors d'Oeuvre table. They also had these hen of the woods mushrooms dipped in batter and fried........Vegetarian Fried Chicken!!!!! I'm enchanted. My guests had a choice of the spinach salad, lightning cakes or butternut squash soup for their starters. I loved the butternut squash soup and I heard the lightning cakes were a revelation and the spinach salad had a flavor everyone loved but couldn't quite determine. I love a mystery. Then the choices for dinner were the rib eye or the shrimp and grits. I cannot be in Charlotte and NOT have shrimp and grits so that was what I ordered and it was amazing. Perfect in every way. The rib eye was HUGE.....I mean HUGE! Everyone thought it was the freshest steak they'd ever had. Then the dessert. There was a chocolate mousse cake which went over well but I'm a cheesecake gal and the North Carolina cheesecake was INCREDIBLE. First of all it was "deconstructed" which was such a surprise and served on these fabulous slivers of slate. Amazing presentation. Our server was beyond efficient, super friendly and knew everything. She never broke a sweat. Sadly, the bartender had an emergency so we didn't get to sample some fun mixology but the beer and wine selections were perfect. In fact, I'm signing a contract to bring some senior executives there next month. I know the Owner and Staff at Heirloom will make me look to my boss like the rock stars they already are. GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!
