Diner Reviews
  • "The menu had many options - bar plates (1serving); small plates (2 servings), salads, sandwiches, pasta's and entrees. The Food was nicely presented and tasty - except for the wilted spinach and sauce that accompanied the blackened fish which was nearly too salty for consumption. I would definitely frequent this restaurant again but would request ligthening up on the salt."

  • "My mom and I were going to watch my daughter dance at the Tilles Center at CW post and we wanted to get some dinner before. I checked Open Table for something in the area and we came across the cute restaurant. My mother had the fried chicken with sweet potato purée and spinach. She loved it. I had the calamari special it was ok. It was overpowered by the olives. We shared the vanilla cheesecake with the chocolate crust. It was delicious! If you are in the area cute place. Love the decor!"

  • "Food was excellent, prices were reasonable, large selection. Only two complaints were it was a bit warm and quarters were a little cramped. Maybe get some new floor tiles? The really important things were all there though, excellent meal."

  • "Well the bar is small but there is in fact a real bar menu. As well as extremely well executed real food, both on the menu and daily specials. We have been here twice and haven't been disappointed. It's small but not noisy, a goody place but not pretentious. A great find, in an odd location."

  • "Wonderful service. The staff was very attentive. Had the branzino which was delicious. Two sides were included with main dish,it's not often anything included. We all enjoyed our meals. A definite "return to" restaurant!"

  • "We waited awhile to get a reservation at heirloom, but it was well worth it. The restaurant was busy but our reservation was honored. They didn't rush us and everything was great. They had a grilled octopus salad as a special that was the best I've ever had and enough for my husband and I to share. I had the pork chop which was delicious as well as our friends meals - scallops, salmon and a seafood pasta - all entrees were enjoyed. I even made another reservation as I was having my dessert! Can't wait to come back."

  • "Friendly welcome. Celebrating a birthday & dessert plate was nicely presented; but after blowing out a candle, the bus boy passed by, stuck his fingers over my dessert & removed the candle while I was eating. That was unpleasant. Also, my Lichi Martini arrived with a maraschino cherry which took away from the look & taste of the drink. Overall we enjoyed dining there when we arrived early. The noise escalated more & more & took away from the more adult romantic feeling at the beginning of our evening."

  • "Love Heirloom Tavern, probably our favorite LI restaurant. Went on Sat as a group of 4 and the portions seemed significantly smaller. Hopefully this was just a one-off issue and not the new norm. Food was still fantastic."

  • "The food was very good, The server had quite a few tables to attend to, which led to slow service (example, having to ask for drink refills). The one thing that really bothered me was having to have my dinner on a "craft paper" tablecloth. The ends curled up every time we moved our arms which I found quite annoying. That is the reason I gave it only 2 stars for ambience."

  • "Favorites are the clams casino and fried mozzarella apps. LOVE the mac & cheese. Tried french onion soup and burger this time, also very good. Great neighborhood restaurant."

  • "Looking for a drinlk after the train(sparkling orchard) or dinner, Heirloom can't be beat. Excellent food whether you are looking for a full meal or a burger. Great small plates as well. Nightly specials always good. A small bar that sometimes can be loud if sitting up fromt, but lively nevertheless."

  • "Lots of variety. Small plates, big plates - Burgers or salads or Fish o-- the list goes on. Everything is really good. Great attentive service. We live locally and really enjoy coming here and always eat something different."
    Dined on 1/19/2014
  • "the guac is overrated but the other dishes were great. One suggestion is to stagger your order of small plates and appetizers. We ordered five small plates for our dinner and all five were delivered to our table at the same time five minutes after we placed the order. Food was delicious but we felt we were rushed"

  • "I have been going to this restaurant since it opened. What I find most interesting is EVERYTHING is ALWAYS PERFECT. From the ambience to the service to the food and drinks. This is what going out to a restaurant should be. The menu caters to all tastes and all of it is great. This past trip I started with a scotch egg - that was a nice touch. I also ordered a Bronzino served whole - it's like Christmas on your plate. To finish, the creme brulee with cinnamon and hazlehut ice creams with a Mexican Coffee sent me away! Alaways a treat! Always fantastic!"

  • "We have been to Heirloom Tavern several times and always look forward to returning. The food, the service, the atmosphere, and everything else about this restaurant is first class. I tried the shrimp lettuce wraps for the first tme, and they were by far the best I've ever had. We will go back again and again."

  • "The food and service were very good. This night the restaurant was not busy so the noise level was quiet otherwise it can be very loud and difficult to have a conversation. We really enjoy dining at Heirloom"

  • "Often we take for granted the restaurants closest to home, in this case Heirloom Tavern in Glen Head. The chef is truly amazing - both for creativity and the quality of the food served. Don't miss the lobster mac'n'cheese, or the crusted stuffed chicken. Mouthwatering and delicious. The gelato is just like it is in Italy. This cozy restaurant knows not to cram too many tables in this modest space so that you can enjoy talking with your dining guests. Unlike some other high end restaurants, Heirloom Tavern is also modestly priced, considering the quality of their food. So for a new year's resolution, check out Heirloom Tavern!"

  • "This is such a little gem! And the food consistently good;have only been here for lunch, and each time food selections are very good;the ceasar salad which I split was really crisp,no brown leaves, no overdone dressing and the two crispy , garlicy croutons on top a real yummy start! The small plate of skewed bbq skirt steak was also delicious, really good! Also, Nice wines by the glass!"

  • "My wife and I made a spur-of-the moment decision to dine at Heirloom Tavern on a Friday evening at 6:30. There were several two-person tables available, but the maitre 'd gave us the worst one, sandwiched between a walkway and the bar. We asked for a better table in the back, and he said it was reserved. When we were done with our meal, that table was still empty. Despite this annoyance, our appetizer and entree dishes were excellent. The food came out quickly and everything was delicious. But we got the creme brulee for dessert, and it was skimpy. There was less than a quarter inch of custard in the dish."

  • "There are very few high quality places to eat on Long Island's North Shore, but we felt the food and service were quite good. While in Manhattan, there are equivalent places on nearly every block, there only a handful of places where it is worth going out to eat, rather than staying home and cooking it yourself. This was one of those places."

  • "We visited on a Saturday night. I made the reservations on a Thursday so the only time slot they had left was 6:30. Book early. Very small establishment so we ate very close to another couple but the food was worth it. Great menu. My wife and I went with a tasting of the small plates."

  • "I had heard about this place for quite a while and was excited to finally have a reservation for dinner. While the food is very good and the menu is interesting, I feel that it is somewhat overpriced. Cocktails were $13 and even a very small glass of wine was $10. The small plates, which are appetizers, were ok but also pricey. I had the cheesesteak sandwich, which was very tasty. My dining partner had the paillard chicken which was rather ordinary. We skipped dessert. I'm not sure I'll be back so soon."

  • "We had a great early dinner for a group of six people. The waiter was especially helpful with both the choice of wine and explaining the menu. The food was delicious and we really Iiked that there is a choice of side dishes with most entrees. The menu has a great selection."

  • "The food is comforting yet creative twists make the dining experience fun and satisfying. Service is caring and food comes at a comfortable pace. The restaurant was welcoming to us even with a young baby, who was very well behaved, but they had no way of knowing that, so kudos to the management even on a jammed night during Restaurant week."

  • "While the restaurant is small and getting a reservation can at times be difficult, this coziness allows the kitchen to turn out great food. Both the on the menu branzino and striped bass special were excellent, as was the fried chicken.. Sides are equally delicious. We will continue to return."

  • "Came for my Dad's birthday and we all really enjoyed it. We ordered family style so we can all share. For appetizers we had the Caesar salad (nothing special, but good), the meatballs (they came out ice cold, so they re-heated them), and the crisp mozzarella (delish). I think they should have given us a new plate for the meatballs instead of re-heating, but it is what it is. For dinner we had a fish from the specials which was amazing, the Linguine with Littlenecks & Shrimp (solid) and the Black Angus Skirt Steak (really good, different flavor!). The sides are my favorite, risotto, mushrooms, shoestring fries - YUM! For dessert we had Beignets, they were just ok, I wouldn't get them again. Overall good experience."
    Dined on 10/12/2013
  • "This was my third time at Heirloom Tavern and each time I walk out thinking of my next return, but hoping against hope that they'll have less people dining. They should do something about the volume - lower architectural ceiling tiles - cushioned walls - floor rugs - anything. We actually couldn't hear each other across the table. Aside of that annoyance, our party of 4 loved the food and service."
