Heirloom

Heirloom is a great restaurant. The food and service were both top notch. We made reservations and we're seated within 5 minutes of arriving. They give you a nice, small appetizer after being seated that was really tasty. I ordered the the Oysters Rockefeller, as an appetizer. They were predictably delicious. For my main I got the Yellowfin Tuna, which my waitress said was relatively new to the menu. Cooked extremely well and it paired well with the sides it came with. I cleaned my plate! My wife got the She Crab soup app and burger with fries for the main. I, of course, had to taste the burger, and it was a great burger. Cooked to medium, nice and juicy and the spiral fries were amazing. My wife couldn't stop talking about this burger. Their drinks menu was also very good, and they have an extensive bourbon and wine menu. My only critique, is that our drinks should've had big rock ice. The ambience was great, music that was good, not too loud. The place was pretty full, but I didn't really feel it, it still felt intimate. Pricing was very reasonable also. A great night overall. Highly recommended.

Heirloom in Virginia Beach is a total gem! I've been wanting to try this spot for years. My friend and I grabbed seats at the bar, and from start to finish, everything was spot on. I started with a glass of cab sav (of course), which paired perfectly with our first bite of the cornbread. It came out in a little skillet, warm and buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. Definitely a must-try! For my main, I went with the crab cakes. They were served over a bed of creamy hummus, with broccolini and perfectly cooked potatoes. The flavors all worked so well together.We wrapped things up with the snickerdoodle cheesecake trifle. It SO good, and I'm not even a sweet tooth gal.The bartenders were all super friendly and made us feel right at home. Plus, the decor is adorable--modern with a cozy vibe.Already looking forward to my next visit!

It's my hubby's birthday today. I called and made a reservation ahead of time. This is our first time at this restaurant, and I can already predict we will be going back. Drinks: Mine is Vieux Carre. I'm surprised there is a restaurant that can make this drink correctly. It's highly recommended! Hubby's is Heirloom Old Fashion! Hum... satisfied! Appetizer: Their special for today is tuna Belly Sashimi Style. WOW! It's fresh caught of the day, and it's undoubtedly fresh! Too bad the size is small! Lol. Main Dishes: Mine was Whole Fried Fish--black Sea Bass! I requested a much spicier version. You know, being Southeast Asian, the spicy level at the American restaurant is not even close to what we call spicy. 1. The fried fish is yummy. I would give it five stars.2. The coconut rice = 0 stars, -2 stars would be appropriate! Is this Rice Pudding or coconut rice? It tastes like a rice pudding, which is a dessert. It seems like they pour sweet coconut milk to make the coconut rice. That's NOT how coconut rice is made!!! The taste was so overwhelming that I had to ask for plain white rice. Guess what? They have plain white rice, meaning my theory was right. If you make coconut rice, there won't be plain white rice anymore. Clearly, they mixed the rice with sweet coconut milk. Disappointing! 3. Fried Sweet Plantain. I can deal with this, though sweet plantain is usually used as a dessert rather than as the main dish. 4. Remember I asked for a spicier. Yeah, that didn't happen. They plop a sour Sambal Oelek on the side. 5. I asked for plain rice, and they gave me the buttered rice, which is better than coconut rice.Hubby's was Braised Lamb Shank. He said it's pretty good. A bit sweeter than he would make himself. I would give it 4.5, but there is no half-star, so it is four stars for now. When we return, we will try another menu, and the ratings may go up then. We felt like everything was made very sweet today. The flavor balance was not there. Maybe next time it will be different. Desserts: none. We were so loaded with sweet taste from the main dishes that we just wanted to go home and detoxify.

I can see why people rave about this place because OMG we are new REGULARS!!! From food, service, ambiance, it was stellar. We went for my birthday dinner tonight and it was divine. We started with the fried butterfly shrimp appetizer which was so yummy, especially the aeoli sauce !My husband got the crab cakes which were so yummy. The real show stopper was the fried chicken!!!! Our server was very attentive, drinks were so prompt and all around we probably had the best dinner we've had in months!!! We can't wait to go back.

Pulling up the this place you wouldn't think too much about it, but as soon as you walk in you're suddenly taken in by the quaint view of elegance and sophistication in a small setting. The hostesses were polite and greeted us as soon as we walked in, we had reservations so the wait was maybe 5 minutes before we had gotten seated. It was Valentine's Day weekend and the bar was packed with what seemed to be locals or regulars, while the rest of the restaurant was filled with people who were obviously having dinner dates. The menu was somewhat of a let down to me as I was just expecting more options, and as a previous Chef, I didn't care for some of the pairings on the menu. Now, what I will say is this is place for most to experience something different if they want to step outside of their normal while not getting too crazy. Their plate presentation and service is excellent as well. Their oysters rockefeller and wings were prepared wonderfully and would be two starters that I would definitely recommend to anyone trying this place for the first time.

Heirloom restaurant in Virginia Beach did not disappoint!We did their happy hour menu and got several things. The food was good quality and great flavor. What stood out was the service. When plates were done they were cleared. My water was always full. I never needed anything for more than a minute. I am impressed. Atmosphere was good too. I love the plants.

One of the best restaurants I've been to in a long time! The ambiance, food, great staff, the orange crush and the Oyster Rockefeller is what did it for me! On the whim, we saw this restaurant and wanted to check it out for lunch. I highly recommend to do reservations because there were a lot reservations and we were "squeezed" in at the bar. There was a happy hour menu and we took advantage by ordering the shrimp and oysters to go along with our meal. OMG! The oyster Rockefeller was the absolute the best I've ever had! And this is the only way I will eat them so I'm pretty a snob when it comes to it. The fine bacon bits and the perfectly cooked oysters is chef kiss!!My red snapper dish was outstanding. You get a whole fish prompt up on a wood board. The aesthetic of the meal had me snapping away on pix LOL! The fish was nice and hot with a great crunch. It was drizzle with a sweet Thai sauce. The coconut rice was moist but the plantains with some kind of powdered sugar elevated this dish even more.The staff were great, always checking on us and the whole dining experience was just overall awesome!

This place is definitely one of my top choices for dinner. They are very consistent, the food quality is top notch and the staff is fantastic. Both the servers and the management are just amazing. We had the happy hour which is done so well. We always start with the shrimp, but we tried the charred grilled wings and they were also very good but it wasn't hot but more room temp. For dinner we both had the snapper and loved it. They don't run out of the snapper any more so that's great.

Came here for my birthday dinner this last week and it was a phenomenal first visit to Heirloom! We started with the she crab soup and the scallops which were absolutely divine. I had a house margarita and then one of their specialty cocktails called "Blissful thinking" that had a mezcal base; I would return solely for that.We both had crab cakes and those were awesome! The desserts were a bit deconstructed and while we weren't fans of the texture (I had the Tembleque and hubs had the beach pie), the flavor was delicious.I will be back! Thanks to Jessica for the fantastic service!

This place focuses on elegance and excellent food quality. Service too is topnotch, been to Heirloom twice on my birthday and recently my son's and nothing to complain about . My son came all the way from Maryland to celebrate his birthday here, and we chose this place .my son and his wife was so amazed how the food tastes so fresh , yes fresh and the combination of flavour just perfectly compliment the whole entree . Thumbs up to the chef at this fine dining restaurant !! I can go on and on how amazing our experience was, but anyway,No complain , all good things to say about Heirloom .
