text: We decided to check out Heirloom for Charlotte Restaurant week We arrived right on time for our reservations and walked in We were standing in the entry way a couple of minutes before we were acknowledged I did not realize but I think the hostess stand is to the right as I saw people going there after we were seated That area is not visible as you walk in you just have to know thisnnWe were promptly seated I appreciate the fact that their tables are disbursed out and you are not on top of each other nnThey come around with blue wine bottles that are filled with water to start you off with It looks refreshing but it is lukewarm and that is not how I like water I had to ultimately ask for some iced water Kevin started off with a beer and I asked for a glass of wine Unfortunately they were out of stock of what I wanted Not cool So the waitress offered something else and I was just not a fan She asked how I liked it and I told her I was not a big fan it was not the wine I wanted And that was that A little disappointed she could not offer something else n nBoth of us went off of the Charlotte Restaurant Week menu We each ordered the different item so we could essentially taste every item they were offering They first started us off with some corn bread I am not a corn bread person but I thought it had great flavor For the first part the salad was pretty good but the chicken and dumplings had a lot of flavor I loved that Then for the second course we had sausage and pork belly The sausage had a nice flavor but the pork belly stood out so good For the third and main entruee I am not the biggest fish fan but Kevin said it was good The steak was really good along with the potatoes Last was dessert which was some chocolate mousse type cake and a berry shortcake I am a huge dessert fan but both of these were unfinished They were just a big miss The chocolate cake tasted like something I could get anywhere The berry shortcake was different I actually liked the concept and it looked like a local southern desert The berry part was good but the biscuits were a missnnI looked at their actual menu for the day and each of their entrees were around We got four courses for so I cannot imagine paying for the main entruee like the steak we received Maybe you get larger plates with their main entrees I do not know but it will be hard to return without it being restaurant week or some special occasionnnOne last note the service was okay Their process is slow we were there for almost hours It did not necessarily feel slow but they would take their time between each course so you were not rushed By the end though we were itching to get out of therennOverall pretty glad we checked out a local place and enjoyed the food
