Heirloom Café

We were lucky to get reservations at the bar, and blessed to have Liana as our dining liaison. The dining room was well organized and their open kitchen was a fun thing to watch during our time there. I ordered the 3 course meal with the suggested paired wine and it was marvelous. Since my two other dining buddies ordered additional items, we all enjoyed sharing each dish and having a multi level dining experience with so many delicious flavors. The staff is clearly professional and our visit was superb. Highly recommend for those who love to dine.

Pre Fix Menu $65 with wine pairing $100 per person. Good amount of food and cucumber salad its refreshing, duck confit its really good as well. Squid its fresh and tender. Food its yummy. Good service too. Dessert tend to be too sweet. I love the gronola and vanilla ice cream. However, the fruits are little too sweet. Great wine selections. Good vibes here.

This place is good eatin'! First time last night and it did not disappoint. So my wife had brought me something "to go" a week before, and even cold the food tasted pretty clean and good. So we had to bring me there for "freshly cooked" food. We did the tasting menu and it did not disappoint. The wine pairing was perfect. White to start with the salad, red to go with the steak, and dessert wine with the shortcake. Every course was excellent. We sat at the bar , so Alyssa (sp?) took care of us. Thanks for the awesome experience and food.

A sophisticated yet cozy gem tucked deep in the Mission, Heirloom Cafe delivers rustic, nostalgic cooking executed with real precision. We started with the Napa cabbage salad, a bright, crunchy composition that felt both fresh and composed, followed by warm bread and salted butter, setting the tone for what came next. By then, expectations were heightened. For mains, we shared the bacon and onion tart, cod, and the gnocchi. The tart blew us away; the pastry was baked to perfection and let’s just say the bacon portion was highly generous. The cod was cooked with restraint and confidence: moist, deeply flavorful, and finished with crisp skin that provided just enough contrast. The gnocchi, pan-fried and accented with truffle, were rich without being heavy and nearly melted on the palate. We ended with a freshly baked chocolate chip cookie that may well be one of the best in the city. While we don’t drink, the wine program, more than 300 bottles deep, is renowned and reason enough on its own to visit. Add genuinely warm, thoughtful hospitality from Josh and his staff, and this is the kind of place you return to without needing an excuse.

Thank you chef Josh! Excellent experience! Service: 10/10 we arrived early and were seated right away. The host was friendly and greeted us genuinely. Our server brought water, olives and almonds and extra olives for my wife with almond allergies so she can try the yummy olives. Amazing detail to my parties food allergies and checked to make sure the food was safe and had alternatives to accommodate. Food: 10/10 the food was delicious. French influenced California cuisine. Fresh high quality ingredients. Sauces that enhanced the flavors and a balance of umami in all dishes. It was great that one person can have the prefix menu and others at the table can order al a cart. You can also order just one dish from prefix menu. The duck was perfect, the 3 cheeses with toast paired perfectly with the Bordeaux. The smoked trout was very well seasoned and balanced nicely with the pickled cauliflower. The hanger steak was super tender and flavorful with no dairy!!! Wine paring is excellent. The selection of French wines is reasonable and great for food pairing. I think the josey baker sourdough beats tartine country bread! The warm Chocolate cookie with ice cream was delicious, the polenta cake with cream and rhubarb was shockingly good! Ambience: 8/10 I love the simple open decor. Bar, dining and kitchen blend together. It wasn’t too noisy because the ceiling pads dampened it. Price: $$ (great value) Overall, an amazing neighborhood up leveled cuisine in a casual setting. We will be back with friends!

First time enjoying Heirloom Café while in town visiting, and it’s a new favorite! Great atmosphere, open kitchen, very friendly & attentive staff. There were 4 of us, so we just ordered many plates to share. Absolutely a must if you’re in town.

Excellent place! Everything we tried was outstanding. Amy was exceptional — a true professional, warm and welcoming, and she made us feel right at home. We enjoyed the gnocchi, the green salad, the black cod, and the soup of the day, and every dish was wonderful. The wine list is also excellent. We will definitely be back!

Lovely restaurant, has good energy when it’s full. Extremely friendly service. Delicious food. My only note would be that the gnocchi is good but I got a bit tired of the taste after a few bites so it’s better to share. Broccoli dish and bacon onion tart were tasty, I would definitely recommend.
