    Everything was fantastic, service was exceptional! Only comment I’d make is that the rice that came with the fish of the day had no flavour at all but everything else was delicious.

    Three of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch today Jan 9th. There were two menus to order ftom: Lunch menu & Regular menu. We ordered from both menus. Shared 3-appetizers of Arancini, Eggplant meatballs, Buratta cheese from the Lunch menu. Then the Vegetable Rissoto and Orcieto from the Lunch menu and one pasta dish from the Dinner menu. Coffees, Teas, Espresso Machiato, Creme Brule completed a delicious meal. Very accommodating and professional waitstaff. Garage parking directly across the street but street parking available.

    I go to Heirloom quite a bit. Sometimes lunch. Sometimes dinner. The place is lovely and the food, although better than average really could be better. I find the menu somewhat limited. More offerings would be nice. I’m a “2 starters” person who is partial to Burrata and tuna tartare. The Burrata served here has totally unnecessary wild greens of some sort and grilled squash, also a distraction. How about more tomatoes, fresh basil, larger Burrata and some fabulous balsamic vinegar? As for tuna tartare, not on the menu. Work on the menu a bit to come up to the caliber of the place!
