Heirloom is a delightful Victorian treasure in Lewes, where unique, locally sourced American dishes shine amidst warm, attentive service.
"You’d think that RIBTs (restaurants in beach towns) are only busy during the summer months, but Heirloom is worth seeking out year-round. Set in another Victorian home from the 1800s, the space is intimate and smells like freshly baked sourdough bread. The menu rotates monthly, but you’ll always find dishes that use produce and meats from Delaware farms. We’ve had things like house-stretched burrata and red beet terrines with scapes, and every plate looks like it could belong in the Biggs Museum of American Art. They focus on sustainable wines, locally brewed beers, and herbaceous cocktails, like their milk punch with hibiscus and orange tea. " - nicole schumann

"The farm-centric gem relies on a team effort from a group of cooks to dictate what lands on the frequently changing menu. Located in a 19th-century Victorian home in the heart of downtown Lewes, the critically acclaimed restaurant sends out stellar dishes like asparagus and buttermilk soup with crab, a homemade burrata with strawberry gastrique and marcona almonds, and a spinach and ricotta ravioli." - Julekha Dash, Eater Staff
"While many beach restaurants can rely on scenic locales and a steady influx of tourists, James Beard Award nominee Heirloom isn’t just good for the beach — it’s a standout dining experience year-round. Situated in an intimate Victorian home in Lewes, Heirloom serves stellar cocktails and wine, and the kitchen kicks out stunning plates of locally inspired fare, and the service is first-rate. Booking a table at Heirloom is a must when visiting the area." - Caroline Coral
