"I have been to the bar at Heirloom several times for food and drink and have never been disappointed. However, my experience in the dining room last week was regrettable. In spite of the fact that the restaurant was not busy, the service was poor (e.g. I had to get up to find somebody in order to get the bill) and the charred hanger steak was more dry than beef jerky."

"This was one of the poorest dining experiences I've had in the last few years. While we waited almost 30 minutes for our first course to come out, we watched a table next to us (who had sat a few minutes after us) receive and finish their entire meal. The server asked if she could clear our plates while we still had a few bites left because our next course was ready and she wanted to bring it out. The rest of the food that came out was poorly prepared, under seasoned, and completely uninspired. Our server was apathetic and unfamiliar with the menu. Even though there were only a few other people in the restaurant by the time we left, we felt completely ignored the entire time."

"Having initially checked with our waitress that they were used to such a high volume of people on a Friday night (it was restaurant week) it was disappointing to have to wait nearly an hour for our main course because "there were some large parties and the kitchen was backed up". My husband's chicken was dry and not very exciting, my lamb ragu with gnocci was incredibly rich and I could only eat a small fraction of it. Our bill was high partly because we filled up our time drinking wine!!"

"Stayed at The Study for New Year's and had a drink at the Heirloom bar (Heirloom is attached to The Study) and the friendly bar tender showed us the menu. We decided it might be worth a try on a later visit and it was - great food, great staff and great location. This seems very big with locals not just the Study's patrons."

"The white clam risotto was inspired. My mouth is still drooling. The brussels sprouts with pancetta and a "secret sauce" was just the best veggie ever. Our waitress, Bernadette, was just a gem. She brightened up the entire evening. After dinner, we perused the artwork provided by the Yale School of Art and relaxed in the overstuffed chairs in the hotel lobby. Everyone was welcoming and professional Definitely my favorite new restaurant"

"The food was great, but it took over an hour to arrive-this was after waiting 10 minutes to be seated (with a reservation, only one party ahead of us.) The waitstaff were courteous but nigh invisible. Not recommended if you're pressed for time or even just have other things you'd rather be doing. The food is very good...once it arrives."

"Impersonal hotel restaurant interior. The server couldn't seem to manage to get me a hot cup of coffee with cream & sugar and a spoon. First, the coffee and sugar arrived, then ten minutes later, the cream. When I stirred the cream in with my fork, I realized that the cream was curdled. Gross. The waiter then placed an empty wine glass at my companion's setting but had to be reminded to bring the wine. Half an hour later, a different server delivered our food with a flourish; unfortunately the wrong order was delivered to me and my partner's shrimp and grits was served lukewarm. Finally, my order appeared, the vegetable hash with poached eggs; no sauce was included. We gave up. Heirloom couldn't get a single part of our order right."

"The local products used at Heirloom lead to consistently excellent dishes. This was my third time at the restaurant. Service varies--my first visit had excellent service, my second visit had service that was poor, and this time, the waitstaff was nice, but they left a big glob of cheese from the appetizer on the table in front of my plate all night. Great wine list, great atmosphere. Try it once and decide for yourself."

"At a great restaurant, EVERYTHING is amazing. Here, one thing was and the rest ranged from awful to okay.. Thr pate was excellent, but the "seven vegetables" salad was the worst salad I've ever had at a good restaurant -- flavorless, soggy. It's true that it looked beautiful on the plate, but it needed a dressing with some taste (and some vinegar!) and crisper, more flavorful vegetables (carrot and cucumber slices are seldom a good combination!). The arugula on the winter caprese was crish and fresh....but the food here was a big disappointment. Neverthe I will give it one more try -- and hope some of the other dishes are as good as the pate. The wine list was very good, and so was our waitress."

"Early in the day I had difficulty reserving online through Open Table. They were saying there were only reservations available for 8:20pm. I googled the restaurant and called and got the hotel instead. The gal there would not transfer me to the hostess stand (I asked) but did helpfully tell me she would take my name and phone number and the restaurant would get back to me. Later that afternoon I still had heard nothing so sent a message through a friend of a friend so to speak and was told "Yes, you can come at 6:30!"
The food was great, as per usual, our server as well. Open Table...quite confusing. If I had been from out of town, I would have gone to another restaurant. Pretty sure Heirloom would be unhappy."

"Menu reads well. All menu items are described with appetizing language. Unfortunately the execution of the food needs improvement. For example - prosciutto is cut too thick, salmon tartare is not evenly chopped or seasoned, scallops over cooked, duck was tough, glaze on a properly cooked salmon fillet was overly sweet.
The waitstaff is not properly trained or supervised. Food was brought o the table and auctioned off - "who ordered the soup! the salad, etc?" I had to go into the waiter's pantry to get a soup spoon. We were well into eating the entree before the waiter asked how everything was."

"We dined there over the weekend. The restaurant was bustling (i.e. INCREDIBLY LOUD). The food was good, but for the high prices, not ravishing. I had the duck which just didn't quite hang together. Given that I was staying in the hotel it was convenient, but I doubt I'd go out of my way to return."

"Very open dining room, nice ambiance for a romantic dinner. The menu changes seasonally so this may not apply during the summer but the cauliflower soup was delicious. One diner who isn't into soups even found it delicious, albeit with a strong dairy flavor at the end. Hanger steak with farro was cooked perfectly at medium rare. Too stuffed to eat much dessert but ordered the apple cider doughnuts anyway. Very light batter, lightly stuffed with pieces of apple. More of a fritter than a doughnut but still very tasty. House cocktails were served in pint glasses and were very refreshing."

"Overall the food was quite good though the chicken and dumpling soupo had a bit too much thyme in it. The sweet and sour shrimp was great as was the pate and warm ricotta we had as starters.
Although the waiter was courteous and decent I can't say he was overly friendly.
We will be back again soon as we do think this is a very pleasant restaurant to dine in.

"We had a lovely dining experience at Heirloom. The food was truly exceptional - highly recommend the pate and walnut crostini dip as well as the scallops and duck entrees. We were a party of 6 and arrived at 10pm which was 45 minutes later than our reservation. The restaurant was extremely accommodating despite the delay (I had called earlier to let them know that we were delayed). Wonderful ambiance. The service is a little slow but much improved since last year when we had gone there for lunch. I would highly recommend Heirloom and will certainly dine there again!"

"Our third trip to Heirloom, and they never get it wrong! Even on a holiday (Valentine's Day) you might expect a limited menu, items becoming less available as the night wears on....but not here! Prepared with an outstanding menu of mostly locally sourced items (listed on the wall, for those interested) we arrived for our 9:30 reservation, were immediately seated, a special drink for the occasion was created (delicious!) and our VERY attentive waiter never missed a beat. The scallops were perfection, but the lobster risotto was so infused with flavor, we could not stop eating it. It.Was.That.Good. Hats off to the chef! The atmosphere was just right for the evening were hoping for - the food, the timing, the people...the atmosphere-perfect!"

"This was my third visit to Heirloom (and second for a special occasion), and I've never been disappointed. In addition to the regular menu, they have terrific bar menu. I'll be back again in the near future."
