    Food was pretty good. Tuna melt was nothing special. Fries were good. Burger was good. Eggs benedict best on the brunch menu which could have had more variety.

    I have been to this restaurant over 20 times in the last 10 years and it is always consistent when I go but sadly it always falls apart when I bring others with me. For my birthday celebration, there were 4 of us. Great drinks and good food. I adore the kales salad and the salmon was cooked perfectly and all our appetizers were great. They had “run out of the burger” because of demand at brunch. Normally, it would not be a huge deal but with such a limited menu after being closed for years with COVID, this left my guest with very few options to choose from. We rebounded though and everything else we ordered was excellent. The service we never rebounded from. Our server seemed sidetracked and unengaged and seemed to want to be anywhere but there. So this made for a long 2 hours and at at an upscale place, it has fallen off my go to list for special occasions. I look forward to Heirloom returning to more consistent service so I can share it with friends confidently.

    I like staying in this Hotel but dinners at their restaurant, Heirloom, have been uniformly unsatisfactory. Food is usually under- or overcooked, platings are sloppy and often thrown together in one bowl, waits for service and between courses are excessively long, and food usually arrives cold. I’ve eaten here several times over a few years and have never had a good meal. It’s obvious that they rely on a captive audience - don’t waste your money

    The ambiance and our service was great! Our main entrees were quite flavorless which was a disappointment. However, the Bourbon Brusselsprouts were quite yummy. Unfortunately, we won’t be returning, but we’re glad we gave it a try.

    No one seating guests when we walked in. Had to go to the hotel front desk to ask for assistance. We should have left at that point. Long wait for entrees which arrived at room temperature. A minor modification (pea pesto on the side due to an allergy) was not done so the rice accompaniment was not edible as it was swimming in pea pesto. If you don’t have the staff to provide a quality dining experience then why book so many tables.

    Inconsistent food 4/22. The salad dressing on blood red orange salad and Caesar salad not good- sour. Should have sent back. Charcuterie OK with several strange sauces. Small steak fair. Bread, Scottish salmon, Merlot wine all excellent. Service fair ( not busy) . Enjoyable overall but not in a hurry to go back.

    Came in for restaurant week with friends for lunch. The food was delicious, although the portions were small for the price. The service was extremely slow -- we waited over 30 minutes for our second course to come out. The waitress comped us glasses of prosecco because of the delay, which was a very nice gesture.

    Had a great dinner here during Restaurant Week. I got the artichoke arancini, the Scottish salmon and the buttermilk panna cotta. Everything was great. We also got a bottle of wine for the table- a Riesling called “Kung Fu Girl” which was very nice. Service was great just a tad slow. I like to put myself in other’s shoes so I do not fault our waiter for this. We were next to a party of about 10 so I’m sure things were busy. We had a last minute 6:45 reservation for 4 so no complaints here. Great food, service and atmosphere!

    We enjoyed the diversity and quality of the food at Heirloom. My husband and I found the cocktails intriguing; my son liked the ricotta toast so much that he ordered it the next day for lunch. We also had the crispy potatoes (very good). The mahi-mahi was done to perfection (cooked just right, not overdone) and my husband enjoyed his steak. We shared the maple creme brulee and the chocolate fudge cake.

    Outstanding service aside this restaurant is grossly overpriced or what they serve. For $26 dollars I was shocked that the lamb ragu was smaller than my appetizer; I know the meat can be pricey but there could have been more noodles. The caeser salad with anchovies was bland and the blood orange salad was all raddichio and no dressing so that made for a bitter experience. The best part of the night was the appetizer but warmed ricotta and bread is hard to ruin. It was great to see the place but I don't think we'll be back any time soon.

    I was happy to get a reservation at the last minute to any restaurant in New Haven on a Friday night, so I’m not going to be too critical. The menu was limited…not enough options. I settled on chicken and dumplings for my main course which was dry and contained about 5 gnocchi. My husband liked his steak and our guests were satisfied with their meals but not overly impressed. Desserts were average. Great wine list. Server did not understand proper etiquette for serving wine. Service was slow and the room was overheated.

    I’ve had brunch at Heirloom many times before and was never disappointed, but last night’s dinner left much to be desired. While the restaurant was fairly empty, service was slow and inattentive. Our food took a long time to arrive, and once it did arrive, the reason was clear. It had been sitting around waiting for our server to bring it to us. Thus, my medium rare steak was now a slightly chilled medium with a side of room temperature vegetables. I sent it back and the server graciously took it away without making a fuss. If the restaurant were busy or understaffed, it would have been more understandable, but there wasn’t any clear reason for the poor service. We’ll be returning for brunch, and I’m hoping last night was just an anomaly. As I’ve mentioned, I’ve always had a great experience at Heirloom, so hopefully it was just an off night.
