Heirloom Eats is an important and delightful new addition to Charleston's culinary scene. As its name suggests, the restaurant invokes a rich sense of family and tradition with farm fresh southern sophistication. The homelike ambiance welcomes you with french doors from an 1800's plantation within the bar, mahogany door from the Wentworth Mansion with suspended mason jars for lighting, and heart pine tables custom built by mortise and tenon. There's even more to love about Heirloom Eats, the food!
So the food...well, the two of us usually get 3+ entrees and plates, enough for 4, just for the joy of tasting.
Farro "Perlau" butternut squash, sweet potato, charred onions. I tried to replicate this at home. It didn't work. This dish's brussel sprouts are cooked perfectly.
Butcher Steak with warm yukon potatoes, roasted root vegetables, applewood bacon demi.
We have been to Heirloom Eats more than once, and have ordered more than pictured. That fact alone can tell you how much we think of this place. Come here on date night, or bring the family.
Also, brunch will be served starting January 15.
Conclusion: Mount Pleasant is privileged to have a place that takes fresh sophiscated southern to another level with surprising value. Welcome home.
