    Pickled veggies
    Lisal F.

    The Trustees' Table is a local (very local as much of the food is sourced directly from their own farm) restaurant located in Shaker Village. We booked a dinner reservation during a recent visit to Harrodsburg and it was an excellent experience. The restaurant strongly recommends making a reservation due to its popularity with locals. They offer seating for breakfast, lunch, and dinner during the week, and a breakfast buffet on the weekends. Dinner was popular the weekend we visited, so the only reservation available for our group size was 830pm. We arrived and were seated right away. Our server was kind and knowledgeable; when asked about specific ingredients in dishes she took the time to double check with the chef, ensuring we were not inadvertently poisoned due to allergies and dietary needs. There are a variety of appetizers, salads, two soups (tomato celery and soup of the day), entrees, sides, and desserts. After ordering we were treated to complimentary country bread with butter and a dish of quick-pickled veggies (okra, carrots, baby corn, radishes, and onions). The bread was not vegan, but the veggies were so I was able to enjoy. The okra was a bit tough and woody but the other veggies were perfect, delicately flavored with a good crunch. The current seasonal menu has one vegan entrée - curried lentils with smashed sweet potato, and it is truly lovely. The lentils were a bit salty but as the sweet potato was not, as long as each bite contains some of each the overall dish is executed beautifully. Pricing is what one would expect for a farm to table restaurant located within a tourist attraction - not unreasonable but not necessarily inexpensive (my lentil dish was $18). I do wish there were more vegan options, including a vegan dessert choice. Overall though the atmosphere is welcoming, the staff is lovely, the food is worth it - absolutely worth a visit.

    Very nice restaurant with good service and atmosphere. The tomato soup with celery was delicious. Add the cornbread muffins and yummy! The lemon pie is the best!!

    Went during lunch hours. Cozy place. Ordered Reuben sandwich with side of collard greens instead of French fries. Part of lunch they bring out mini corn bread which was light and fluffy. Tasted good. Had a chance to visit the gift shop which is on the premise.

    RESERVATION SUGGESTED I made a reservation at The Trustees' Table well in advance of our visit to Pleasant Hill. From what I could tell, there weren't any other eating options on-site except for snacks and grab-n-go items at the post-office store, so I was glad we'd made a reservation. There are picnic tables on-site and you can bring your own food, so I would do that another time. HISTORIC BUILDING Overall, it was nice to eat in a historic Shaker building/dining room. The food was decent. The waitress was friendly and doing her best on a busy day, but the wait time for food was a little slow. HOSTESS NOT EXACTLY WELCOMING The woman with short curly hair on the hostess podium was miserable, and generally added a sour note to our experience. If the restaurant is reading this, I would remove that employee from your podium as she is not a good candidate for the hospitality industry! We approached the hostess podium a little earlier than our reservation time due to timing and proximity to the restaurant, hoping we could be seated. The hostess barely said a word, didn't smile, grabbed 2 menus and marched us to our table. After the two of us were seated at a table for four, I realized there was a floor vent pumping cold air, which was uncomfortable, so I asked the waitress if we could move to a table for two across the room. The waitress went to ask the hostess whom I saw shake her head in disbelief that we'd asked to move. The waitress came back and did say yes, we could move. It really made more sense for the restaurant as we were now only occupying a table for two, not four! As far as the food, we enjoyed quiche with salad and soup with country ham biscuits.

    It has been a long time since we have eaten here. We have done two walks this fall as part of their guided tours, one was the spirit walk on Halloween and the second was civil war close to Veterans Day! They reminded us that we had not eaten here in a long while! The walks were socially distanced and so is the restaurant! We were the only ones here in the room that we were sat in. We started with lobster bisque, even though a lot of lobster taste not a lot of meat, very creamy and piping hot! The soup beans were nice and tender full of smoked ham flavor, tender corn bread. Not like most places where the soup was thick, the broth was like stock! Very very good! An added bonus was slaw and corn muffins that were not order but came for the table. The slaw was very fresh and crisp, creamy (light not overly creamy) but a nice vinegar tang was present as well! We ordered "The Manhattan" an open faced roast beef on top of toast mashed potatoes, and brown gravy! The beef was tender and imparted a nice flavor with the gravy. The mashed potatoes are made rustic and have small chunks of potato. The second plate was "Meatloaf" that came with the same mashed potatoes and southern style green beans and the extra bonus was the warm tomato bacon jam that has sweet red pepper in it for a little ketchup style sweetness! Slightly chunky on the bacon jam, but added as a garnish not cooked on top of the meat loaf! All in all a great meal and found and gonna be back more often! First day of new menu! Chef Amber is awesome!

    The food and service were surpassed only by the surroundings. It was like going back in time to a better place.

    We found Heirloom on Yelp and were excited to give it a try, but the experience ended up being just…read moreaverage. I ordered the burger without the bun or fries, and it was so overly salty that I struggled to finish it. My wife had the CACIO de PEPE, which tasted quite different from what we're used to, and the pasta was overcooked for our liking. My brother-in-law ordered the fish tacos, which were easily the standout dish at the table. My sister's chicken cesar salad was decent but nothing particularly memorable. The restaurant itself feels a bit unexpected for a rural setting, which may help explain its strong ratings. For me, though, it's not a place I'd go out of my way to visit again--more of a "fine if someone else suggests it" kind of spot.

    Our first adventure here at Heirloom. We love coming to Midway! The Main Street is a charmer…read more Plenty to shop, eat, and drink here for sure! Heirloom did not disappoint! The atmosphere is super cozy and we felt welcomed from our first steps in. We were warmly greeted by the hostess and we met Michaela who took fabulous care of us for the evening! We settled in to a couple of their specialty cocktails (midwinters night dream and cardamaro manhattans - yummy I'll say) and the Brussel Sprout starter. Let me say to come hungry because the portions are large but yummy. The sprouts are a meal all by themselves! But there's more! I had the porcini rubbed filet and Teresa had the cabbage confit. Both portions were sizable and while I know she loved her cabbage, I was in heaven with a perfectly prepared filet that just melted in my mouth. Plus the asparagus spears and the Okinawa sweet potato mash were perfect accompaniment! Sadly, there was so much goodness we ended up bringing some home and we'll have to come back for dessert and another menu sampling. All in all a very memorable experience and a great place for a birthday dinner! But we'll be back just because! Special closing shout out to Michaela for taking such great care of us.

    Great service and pleasant staff…read more Particularly liked the catfish and the chowder. A neighborhood place that we should go to more often.

    The food was good, the cooks were kind. However, the older man at the cash register (perhaps the…read moreowner?) overcharged me for everything, and when I pointed it out to him (at first I thought it must be an accident), he threw dollar bills at me while hollering that he knows how to run a restaurant. Well, maybe that's true because most restaurants fail and this one has been around for a while, but maybe it's because they're overcharging their customers instead of increasing their prices on the menu, and hoping the customers don't notice. I've never been so nickeled and dimed at a restaurant! I was so insulted that I handed his few dollar bills back to him and said I just wanted him to be transparent about what he was going to charge me, before he charged me! I asked for a Tilapia sandwich (menu price $8.95) and a Haddock sandwich combo (menu price $13.95 for the sandwich + cole slaw + fries). I asked if the sandwich came with anything on it, and he said no, but he could add pickle slices. He didn't tell me about an upcharge. I asked if I could substitute the fries in the combo for fried mushrooms. He said yes, but there would be a slight difference in price. I said that would be fine because the side items showed it was only a $0.45 difference in price (on the menu, french fries are $3.50 and fried mushrooms are $3.95). I asked if I could pay with credit card, and he said yes, but didn't mention a card fee. What I thought I would be charged: $8.95 + $13.95 + $0.45 = $23.35 + 6% tax = $24.71 total. Instead I was charged $30. When I asked him about it he said there was a $1 credit card fee that he had neglected to tell me about prior, and that instead of charging me for the difference between the price of the fries and mushrooms, he rang each item up separately instead of ringing it up as a combo (first of all, why would he do that??? and second of all, why wouldn't he tell me he was going to do that???). Then he told me he also charged me for the 5 skinny quarter-sized slices of bright green pickles you get from the jar. When I said, "you charged me for pickles?" He said, "of course I charged you for pickles!" So he charged me $8.95 tilapia sandwich + $9.95 haddock sandwich + $2.50 cole slaw + $3.95 mushrooms + $2.00 pickles (TWO DOLLARS FOR 5 SKINNY QUARTER SIZED PICKLE SLICES) + 6% tax + $1 credit card fee = $29.99 (AND OF COURSE HE DIDN'T GIVE ME THE PENNY NOR ASK IF I WANTED TO KEEP THE PENNY; HE KEPT THE PENNY FOR HIMSELF AND CHARGED ME THIRTY WHOLE DOLLARS FOR A $24.71 MEAL).Which isn't a big difference, but in this economy, adds up, and the LEAST they can do is be TRANSPARENT ABOUT WHAT THEY'RE GONNA CHARGE YOU. AND THEN WHEN YOU NOTICE THE DISCREPANCY AND KINDLY & CALMLY ASK IF THEY MADE A MISTAKE, THEY SHOULDN'T GET DEFENSIVE, RAISE THEIR VOICE AT YOU, AND THROW DOLLARS AT YOU IN FRONT OF A LINE OF CUSTOMERS. This was my first time here and I was excited to go back and try everything else. Instead, I'm never going back and I'm telling everyone I know.
