Like Trios, but even better. Get ready for a bunch of superlatives…read more.. This place has some similarities to Trios in Merrifield. Both Heirloom and Trios are attached to--and share a kitchen with--a Roadhouse Grill, and all of them are owned by the same parent company. However, Heirloom is much smaller, which I suspect makes it easier to control quality. Based on my experiences--one visit here and many visits to Trios over the years--the quality of just about everything is better at Heirloom. My meal consisted of their Smoked Manhattan, the Burrata salad, and the Heirloom Burger. (The burger was so good that they named the restaurant after it!) The Manhattan was one of the best Manhattans I've ever had. It had a wonderfully mellow, balanced flavor that edged toward sweet, despite being made with rye. Maybe it was the aroma--and eventual taste--of the large toasted marshmallow suspended over my glass where the cherry would normally go? I guess, to be sure, I'll have to go back and order another. The Burrata did what all great burratas do: each bite felt like a mouthful of sunshine. The cheese, tomatoes, arugula, and balsamic vinaigrette combined to create pure culinary happiness. The only better burrata I can recall was at Mikrolimano in Athens. However, once you factor in travel time and parking, Heirloom is definitely the better value. The Heirloom Burger was absolutely delicious. This past week I've been waxing poetic about burgers because one of the Hackney's restaurants back home is closing after 70 years, so emotionally, I'm not prepared to bestow any new burger honors just yet. However, check back in a few weeks, and you may very well see this review updated to say that the Heirloom Burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had. Other logistics... The service was OUTSTANDING. We were seated right at our reservation time, greeted warmly by several staff members, and waited on nearly hand and foot by Alex. She explained the menu, helped us select our beverages, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the meal. It was attentive service without ever feeling intrusive. Parking is free after 5 and on weekends in a multi-story garage about half a block away. Happy hour is 5-7. They call Heirloom a speakeasy, but it feels more like a small restaurant with an eight-stool bar and a few high-tops. It's intimate compared with the Roadhouse, but not exactly speakeasy-intimate. And, finally, Heirloom is inside Roadhouse. You walk down a hallway, turn left into a very short hallway, open an unmarked door, and then go through a second door marked only by a red rose on the handle. I suspect the obscure entrance is their justification for calling it a speakeasy. But with food and service this good, they can call it whatever they like.

The portions were good, but the cheesesteak was not flavorful, the buffalo wings didn't really have any sauce, fries were alright soggy(maybe cause it was carry out), mozzarella sticks were okay but the oil they're cooked in made it taste old. The service was good, informative and kind but I wouldn't go back. They seem to have a crap ton of seatings and a nice outdoor area. It's a very small town vibe, think, we're not in nova with great food options and you go to your same old same bar for the nostalgia and knowing the people.

I don't know what has taken me so long to write a review of this place. I've been going there…read moreyears. My first time there, I got some ribs and someone else had gotten the brisket. I commented to the guy behind the counter that the brisket looks good and I'll probably try it next time. While I'm eating my ribs, that guy brings out a small sample of the brisket for me to try. That guy was Ron, the owner and operator of the place. Along with his wife Glennis and their son Jordan, they run a very busy and friendly place. I probably get the urge for ribs once every 3 weeks on average and I've gotten the brisket several times too. All of it is excellent. The only downside is that they often sell out early. So if you're going after 6 pm, call ahead to make sure they still have some food for you.

The mac and cheese had a nice flavor, but the cheese sauce wasn't melted well. It sort of clumped off the pasta. The baked beans (not pictured) were my favorite part of the meal. It was on the sweeter side, which I enjoyed with the savory meats. Sadly, their bbq sauces were too vinegary. Service was pretty quick for take out (we arrived when it opened on a Saturday).

When we arrived around 10:30am, there were already a few diners. We chose our meals and headed to the bar, Nectar, to place our order. Even then, we were curious about how good the food would actually be. Then the food arrived. Wow, we were so happy we gave it a shot. The quality of the biscuit sandwich was fantastic. I really appreciated that their biscuit was homemade. It was buttery and blended perfectly with the other ingredients. The only suggestion I have is to make the egg yolk runny, as the biscuit can be a bit dry at times. I can't wait to come back and try other vendors, but I definitely want to return for another biscuit next time!

The Bungalow Lakehouse has something for everyone with their separate dining area, dining area…read moreinside the bar area, a separate bar with a variety of high tops, and a deck bar with limited seating around the bar which serves the customers outside smoking cigars. Food is OK quality and prices are reasonable if not inexpensive on their specials, like the steak and ribs for only $25. Good flavor and cooked ok but a nice combo for the price. Service is OK with some wait staff being more efficient than others. There were some who knew their customers by name and took time out to talk with them but that slowed down service a little for the rest of us. Nothing too bad but you might wait a bit for refills or something you need after your food or drinks arrive. We had cool fries and it took a bit for the staff to come back to our table to check in the dining room. Similar response time for wait staff outside when we needed condiments that were ordered but didn't come out with our entrees. Cigar menu is an ok selection where there is something for everyone; however, our experience was the place ran out of the first four cigars we selected and each time the wait staff had to come back to our table to tell us they were out of that cigar. Wait staff didn't know what cigars were in stock and which they were out of. Overall, very good experience for both inside the dining area and outside where you can smoke. Recommend The Bungalow Lakehouse as it is a good experience and has a variety of experience options.

The choices were: outside, the sports bar, or the dining room. We chose the dining room. A large group of people was sitting at a table. We were given a booth by the window and right by the server's station. Looking over the menu at home, we both decided that we would get a bacon cheeseburger. The entrees seemed, to us, to be too filling. The bacon cheeseburger consists of: "100% angus burger, apple-wood smoked bacon, vermont white cheddar, canadian cheddar, sliced tomato, and crispy leaf lettuce". We both ordered it cooked medium. The dish comes with fries. To drink, I had ginger ale while my husband had a Heineken 00. Our server was friendly and efficient. He made a mistake, bringing my husband a Coke instead of the beer. My husband corrected him. He apologized and retrieved the correct drink. The burger was dry and overcooked. It was more on the medium well side. In one way, I didn't mind that as I didn't end up with greasy hands or a burger that falls apart. The bacon and the cheese provided some relief from the dryness. The fries came out hot, which we appreciated. All in all, it was an OK experience; we would consider going again sometime.

I'm no expert, but I really enjoyed them...they tasted just like the beach! My wife ordered the Maine seafood basket, and the seafood was delicious and perfectly crunchy. I'm definitely getting that next time. I went with three lobster tails (one fried, two grilled), and they were honestly some of the best I've ever had. That butter sauce is amazing.
