The food was delicious as always but the service was a bit spotty. Our appetizers came after our entrees which was not the end of the world but the server blamed the kitchen. We all have watched enough food shows to know that it’s not cool to blame your colleagues.

Overall, we had a good dinner at Heirloom—not fantastic, but fine. Our calamari appetizer was tough and clearly tasted frozen. The she crab soup and the whipped goat cheese items were delicious. Tuna salad entree was drowning in ponzu dressing, but the tuna was cooked properly and was tasty. French dip sandwich was fine, but not particularly special. Brownie in dessert sundae was burned, so had a rather bitter taste. Long wait between most courses and restaurant was loud. Some hits, some misses…

Our food was good (satisfactory), including crab cakes, baby back ribs, and fish and chips. It was disappointing that the only steaks were $64 12-ounce ribeyes, which I felt was not a good value for this particular dining experience. Our fried mozzarella starter was very yummy, as was the espresso brownie desert. Our server was a little hectic; it seemed like she was ready to get home. However, she did make sure we had everything we needed. Owner Rick Erwin stopped by our table to ask about our food and to thank us for coming; I always appreciate that gesture. We will certainly return, especially as there are lots of other scrumptious-sounding offerings on the menu.

Food was great! As mentioned on their menu, some things run out quickly so if you have your eye on something specific or other specials, get there early and make sure to ask if they are out of something right away. I guess this is a way to know all things are fresh and never overstocked. Hopefully next time, we will get to try some of the things we missed out on like the calamari and tiramisu. Overall great dining and great service.
