If you are considering this place, I hope you are open to trying new things. This is an artistic interpretation of local nc foods. We normally split 9 of the 12 courses and it's almost enough food. But this place is not about leaving stuffed. Heirloom is about trying new things and being adventurous. I can say that there have been courses I flat out didn't like (tabbaco ice cream and bitter chocolate, yuck) and others that have absolutely amazed me. Bottom line, if you want to see something creative and different, this is your place.
