Always great food, great service…… tables are very close together where we were seated and people literally were right next to us which wasn’t ideal, but they are trying to get as many seated in the space as possible so it is understood. This is a great place for sushi and the Tuna Tower is always a must!

We went to Heirloom after U.K. graduation. We sat outside on a sunny, breezy day. We highly recommend the specialty cocktails. We had the mushroom flat bread pizza and deviled eggs as an appetizer. They were great. We had the fried chicken , Nashville hot chicken, and Brie grilled cheese. Everything was very good, and the service was wonderful.
