text: We decided to check out Heirloom for Charlotte Restaurant week.  We arrived right on time for our reservations and walked in.  We were standing in the entry way a couple of minutes before we were acknowledged.  I did not realize, but I think the hostess stand is to the right as I saw people going there after we were seated.  That area is not visible as you walk in, you just have to know this.\n\nWe were promptly seated.  I appreciate the fact that their tables are disbursed out and you are not on top of each other.  \n\nThey come around with blue wine bottles that are filled with water to start you off with.  It looks refreshing, but it is lukewarm, and that is not how I like water.  I had to ultimately ask for some iced water.  Kevin started off with a beer, and I asked for a glass of wine.  Unfortunately they were out of stock of what I wanted. Not cool!  So the waitress offered something else, and I was just not a fan.  She asked how I liked it, and I told her I was not a big fan, it was not the wine I wanted.  And that was that.  A little disappointed she couldn't offer something else. \n \nBoth of us went off of the Charlotte Restaurant Week menu.  We each ordered the different item so we could essentially taste every item they were offering.  They first started us off with some corn bread, I'm not a corn bread person, but I thought it had great flavor. For the first part - the salad was pretty good, but the chicken and dumplings had a lot of flavor!  I loved that!  Then for the second course we had sausage and pork belly.  The sausage had a nice flavor, but the pork belly stood out, so good!  For the third and main entr\u00e9e, I am not the biggest fish fan, but Kevin said it was good.  The steak was really good, along with the potatoes.  Last was dessert, which was some chocolate mousse type cake and a berry shortcake.  I am a huge dessert fan, but both of these were unfinished.  They were just a big miss.  The chocolate cake tasted like something I could get anywhere.  The berry shortcake was different.  I actually liked the concept and it looked like a local southern desert.  The berry part was good, but the biscuits were a miss.\n\nI looked at their actual menu for the day, and each of their entrees were around $28.  We got four courses for $30, so I cannot imagine paying $28 for the main entr\u00e9e like the steak we received.  Maybe you get larger plates with their main entrees??  I don't know, but it will be hard to return without it being restaurant week or some special occasion.\n\nOne last note, the service was okay.  Their process is slow, we were there for almost 3 hours.  It did not necessarily feel slow, but they would take their time between each course, so you weren't rushed.  By the end though, we were itching to get out of there.\n\nOverall, pretty glad we checked out a local place and enjoyed the food.
