we went to heirloom for an early dinner for a friend's birthday, and the staff was very accommodating! they served us 3 different desserts for a complimentary birthday treat: a caramel ice cream, a pudding, and a chocolate cake, all of which were great, but the caramel ice cream and chocolate cake really stood out for being both flavorful and decadent.
for an appetizer, the burrata platter was great though they didn't give us nearly enough pita for the amount of toppings provided. the arugula was well-seasoned, and complimented the fig jam perfectly. all the pasta servings were pretty large, and the lamb ragu and pasta pomodoro were both very filling, but nothing super special - missing a jenesaisquoi. the salmon was very interesting - it was cooked very well, with a perfect crispy skin and flaky/buttery flesh. the pairings with the salmon did not necessarily go very well together though. it came with a wild rice, kimchi (very random!), squash, and an herb butter. each individual component tasted good, but i feel like all the flavors did not create a harmony and were just kind of random.
the restaurant itself is very nice, as it is situated in the lobby of a hotel, and has wonderfully big windows, providing the dining space with lots of natural light. overall, heirloom is just a decent american food place, but nothing too special that i would come back for.
