We loved the speakeasy vibe and the unmarked door entrance that made the whole experience feel unique and elevated from the start. We originally came to the distillery for food and drinks, but after hearing about Heirloom, we decided to make reservations for cocktails afterward -- and we're so glad we did. The atmosphere was elegant, intimate, and beautifully designed, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails after dinner. Even though we only came for drinks this time, the experience completely exceeded expectations. We'll definitely be back again and next time hope to try some of the food menu as well.

The ambiance was cozy and intimate. The waiter was also super great! She very observant and timely with her dish deliveries and water refills. We decided to start with two small plates which were an excellent start to our experience. The Bourbon Glazed Pork Belly was absolutely delicious. From the sauces that were included on the dish to the perfectly cooked and seasoned potatoes... I definitely would recommend this dish to everyone that decides to visit Heirloom. Then the Oysters Rockefeller.... simply put, so much flavor! I then opted to get the Heirloom Burger. All the items that came on the burger added to the taste experience, however, my only wish was that the patty should have been seasoned a tad more. Despite that, my additions of bbq sauce and mayo added to the burger, where the seasoning kind of lacked. Overall, great experience. I will be back!

Their original spot in Manassas was forever on my list to visit, but it was just never on the way. SO happy this is open close to home! No doubt, the best crab cakes I've had in Virginia. Besides the crab cakes, we also liked the shrimp. The fish and the wings were just fine, but nothing exceptionally special in our opinion. Don't skip out on the hush puppies! Our first visit last summer we came at 5pm and thought we'd be fine getting a table for 3- it was the very last one. I guess depending on the day and time it can get packed!! The wait was longer than I expected, but understandable considering how busy they were- it seemed like everyone showed up at the same time. Vibes were good, their music playlist was great. After that first visit though, we just always pre-order online.

I was really impressed with this French cafe style spot in Sterling, from the decor to the service…read moreto the cocktails. I would recommend a reservation because with rain outside aka the patio being closed, the whole inside was packed. A lot of the seats are super close which feels very European but you can hear most peoples conversations which can be annoying. Our waitress was really sweet and stopped by a bunch. We started with French 75's, hot coffee, and an espresso martini. The drinks were refreshing and quite large for the price. The espresso martini really reminded me of a grown up hot chocolate, I really enjoyed it. I later also got a cucumber vodka martini and it was one of the most refreshing drinks I've ever had - definitely the drink of the summer. For our food we started with the baked brie with fig and garlic and the escargot. The brie was a unique take on baked brie, I loved the way the flavors all melded and the fact the cheese wasn't completely spilling out everywhere. The escargot was soft with a phenomenal crumb/butter mix, the whole things really melded well and melted in your mouth. The bread served with it was nice as well, if only I had a bit more of it. For our mains we were here during brunch so we got the lobster omelet and the French onion soup with the side of fries. The french onion soup was great, a good amount of cheese and onions without being overwhelming. Fries were fantastic and quite large, a big portion for $7. They hooked it up with the amount of lobster. I would definitely come back to try their lunch tasting menu or other brunch items as well!

The short ribs fell apart without a knife bc they were sooo tender and the desserts were expertly crafted. I might go back just for dessert yum!! The Brie appetizer was enjoyable though a little small if splitting. The shrimp cocktail were very traditional. I enjoyed them. My husband loved the homemade baguette although I wonder if it's because the butter was so good; the bread itself was a little hard for me and of course room temp as is typical in France. Kids enjoyed the kids options (though preferred our dishes). Pasta in cream sauce and steak frites were their choices. It was really loud inside particularly when tables in the middle of the room were occupied. Outdoor patio might be pleasant for easier conversation. Also bring a sweater- if you end up under an ac vent, it can be cold.

We realized we were pretty casually dressed and weren't there to eat a whole lot of food. So, we simply got the Passion Fish Roll (Raw Sushi BTW), a Crispy Buttermilk Fried Calamari, a Rockfish, a side of Sweet Potato Fries and Mac & Cheese. For our drinks, got a couple of Rum & Cokes and a Shirley Temple. The ambiance was pleasant for the most part, as we enjoyed the conversations and the food when each of the plates came out. Just that the service was kind of bias and rude. We could all feel that the waitress was kind of in a bad mood, maybe expecting us to order more dishes and drinks. Anyhow, we noticed the portions were kind of on the smaller side compared to the prices. But taste-wise, everything was pretty good. The Rum and Cokes were fine, a little pricey, but decent. Another thing we observed was that the server never asked us if we wanted more refills or dessert. After she saw that we were done with our food, she simply put the check on the table and that was that. We were full, but we still wanted more bread and drinks, so not sure why she felt like we were going to leave and ready to pay when we didn't even ask for the check, yet. Kind of rude and inconsiderate of her towards the customers, no??? We had to open a new tab after paying for the main one since she thought we were going to leave right away after having our entrees...

She was super attentive, always checked in on us, and gave us some really solid tips for our appetizers and entrees. We started with a dozen oysters from three different locations. 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.

First, the hostess acted like we were an intrusion into her evening, didn't welcome us or make eye contact. She sat us at a booth, which didn't work, so she did seat us at a table. I asked for a vegetarian menu, knowing there was one, but she walked off, did not return. Our waiter was a young man, spoke very softly; we both had a difficult time hearing him. My wife ordered her drink; I asked for a few more minutes. That drink did not appear until half my meal was over, which I did not appreciate. And I had to ask 3 times to get the drink, including asking another waiter. We ordered salad and main dish; my vegetarian menu finally appeared. It just seemed both the hostess and our waiter did not care to attend to us. I do not know if we will be returning; and to top this all off, both the hostess and waiter called us 'Guys'. When two older women are sitting at the same table, we are ladies, or simply nice to see you two tonight. Please tell your wait staff to get this right. We like Bungalow Lakehouse, it is close to home, and the atmosphere is comfortable.

Ordered the chicha morada too, which was a great choice. To start with the choros, they were made very well. It had the right about of onions with lime, and it tasted fresh and delicious. The ceviche is the dish i would not order again. It was a little disappointing to go into a peruvian restaurant with a name that implies you would headline yiur ceviche. The sauce they used did not pair well - it was a little heavy and tasteless for us. The sweet potatoes were also slightly undercooked so they did not have the consistency that is expected when eating ceviche. The seco de res delivered where the ceviche didn't. It was delicious and tasted home cooked. I would definitely recommend this dish to someone visiting for the first time. When we decided to order kam lu wantan to go (to eat later at home), we were forewarned that it wouldn't come with arroz chaufa. This seemed odd as that's a key part of the dish and not that hard to make. We still ordered it and found it tasty back home. Not sure if it was because it sat in our fridge until later, but the wontons were soggy and not crispy at all. But the taste was there and surprised us how good it was despite pairing it with white rice. Overall the vibe was enjoyable with the server being very attentive and nice with us - she brought our food quickly and constantly greeted us with a smile. Will definitely be coming back!

No one here seemed to actually be from Italy, which we are accustomed to when going to Italian places. Food: the crispy artichoke appetizer was good. The whipped ricotta appetizer was delicious. For meals, we got the bucatini and this one pasta with a pumpkin cream sauce. They were both OK, I didn't love the Brussel sprouts in my dish, just didn't go well. We also ordered the side of chicken parm for protein, which was big and good. For dessert the cappuccino was good but was sweet for some reason (I didn't ask for any sweetener). The tiramisu was pretty good, I imagine homemade, especially with it being more yellow which is more traditional.
