Came here Saturday evening with a reservation to celebrate my birthday. I usually don't come out to Reston because it's a bit far for me, but this was well worth the drive. Heirloom is an elevated and higher end speakeasy that serves some amazing food and drinks. It is located within Open Road. The service was overall phenomenal. The drinks here were made with some local selections. There is a parking structure right next to this place. The entrance to the speakeasy is elegant and fitting. Inside is dimly lit with little lamps at each table. They have a huge selection of wines and other alcohol as well as some virgin drink options. The food was delicious. The Burrata was refreshing and had a nice summer taste with seasonal ingredients such as peaches and tomatoes. The scallops came with a green Thai sauce and a crispy sticky rice. The crispy sticky rice was interesting but it paired with the rest of the dish well. The Gouda Mac and Cheese was fresh and had a good flavor. They offered a complimentary drink for my birthday because the birthday dessert ran out for the day. Ended up getting a dessert and the waitress brought some complimentary sparkling wine. I would return here again in a different season!
Heirloom is a hidden gem in the Reston area, offering an upscale speakeasy experience. It can be a bit tricky to find on your first visit. The address leads you to a brewery restaurant. Head to the back of the brewery, and you'll find a door with a rose handle. Once you open this door, your speakeasy experience begins. You'll pass through a second door and be greeted by the host. I recommend making reservations since it is always busy. The ambiance is romantic with a retro-modern look. All tables are candlelit, which can make it a bit dark if your eyesight isn't great. True to speakeasy tradition, they have excellent cocktails and traditional drinks, and the bar looks fantastic. The menu is limited, but the food was great. I love a good mac and cheese, and theirs did not disappoint. Heirloom is a great place for a date or a girls' night out, but I wouldn't recommend it for families with young kids. The prices are on the higher side, but they are part of the upscale experience and living in northern Virginia.
Finally had the opportunity to check out this new speakeasy! I loved the ambience, it was classy with a touch of old fashion decor. The scallops were delicious and the drinks were refreshing. Will definitely come back for another date night!
Stopped by tonight and thoroughly enjoyed our dinner. Honestly I couldn't believe this was inside of Open Road and I absolutely loved the speakeasy vibe. I came with 2 others and we ordered the focaccia, the burrata, the sea bass, the scallops, the spicy bucatini (actually spicy and very good), the sticky toffee pudding (sooo good), and the apple tarte tatin (sooo good and very shareable). Everything was absolutely delicious. I honestly wasn't expecting much since RTC restaurants can only get so good, but this was downtown-DC-level tasty. Not to mention the extensive cocktail menu. (I tried both mocktails and they were both delish as well). I thought the whole "speakeasy" thing was just gonna be a big gimmick, but Heirloom honestly delivers impeccable service, amazing vibes, and quality food. Overall, I can't wait to come back here with friends and family and for special celebrations.
We went to the speakeasy and the drinks were great! Would definitely go back to try the food. Service and vibe were good as well.
I kept hearing amazing things about Heirloom that had recently opened so I had to come check it out and it absolutely lived up to the hype!! To begin with the food - there was no going wrong with this menu. My friend and I split all the food we got and it was the perfect amount for us. We got the home made herb focaccia, mussels, wild mushroom ravioli and the chocolate dome - all of which were amazing. My personal favorite dish was the wild mushroom ravioli - the flavors were absolutely perfect. The service was a 10/10 as our waitress was super kind and helped us make the right decision on dessert as that chocolate dome is a must eat. The vibes inside were also phenomenal - the lighting is super dim inside and definitely gives off the ideal speakeasy vibe. I highly recommend checking this place out :) I will definitely be coming back again to try more of the menu items!
Love it!! What an incredible addition to Reston! First of! Samuel the Manager is absolutely incredible attention to detail and makes you feel special! The vibe of this place is like nothing I've seen in Reston. Fancy, speak easy with an elegant/ sexy vibe. And now to the good and drinks! You can't go wrong with any item on the menu. Everything tastes and looks absolutely delicious!
The food is good. The service is great Our server was very knowledgeable and attentive. This is a perfect date place. The whole speak easy vibe is cool. Definitely going back again to sample more of the craft cocktails
Heirloom is a speakeasy that is located inside Open Road Distillery behind a hidden door. Walking through Open Road and then into Heirloom is a totally different vibe. We had reservations so we were seated immediately. The food was delicious. We ordered some appetizers and the main dishes were two pastas and the scallops. Portions are a bit small for the price that you are paying. Because we were celebrating my birthday, the manager popped a bottle of champagne and poured us some to go with the birthday cake we brought. Overall, the service and food were fantastic. Highly recommended for romantic date night or celebratory occasion.
