Heirloom Lodge

“Heirloom Lodge was the first dinner of a girls off season weekend trip and it did not disappoint. Wine selection was great, service was hospitable and attentive, and all of the food we had was DELICIOUS. Gnocchi were light and fluffy pillows; chicken was tender and flavorful; and short ribs were rich in flavor. Atmosphere was a cozy rustic barn and the open kitchen always is a fun aspect of a restaurant. Getting to watch the team put together a delicious meal what looks like effortlessly is truly a testament to their skills.”

“If you like Applebees, this is not your place. We sat at the bar, enjoying the kitchen staff at work. The food is made fresh, not out of bottles or boxes or other packaging, and no additives. We had a hard time deciding what to order-- it all looked good-- and eventually ordered escarole, candied carrots, the burger (not written in the menu), and fettuccini. The pasta was freshly made and tossed with pepper salt and mushrooms like a carbonara. The burger was served on a biscuit with prepared onion, no ketchup necessary. We had gouda and strawberry shortcake for dessert. I like desserts that aren't too sweet, and the shortcake certainly was not; a little more sugar would have been better though. Everything was delicious, with a balance of flavors and mouthfeels. Our bottle of water was never empty. The menu was enticing and different. Many restaurants have same-old options. These dishes were creative, like coming home from the farmers market and preparing a home-cooked meal with whatever was at the market. It was a lot like how we cook and eat at home. The room does have a lot of hard surfaces, which makes it loud. Sound baffles could help, or adding some fabric like drapery. There's a screened in porch and a chef's bar where you can sit and watch the chef at work. There are not a lot of restaurants that inspire us in the Berkshires, but we look forward to returning to Heirloom Lodge.”

“Had a fabulous dining experience last night! Our server Julie was informative, attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and we loved the ambiance as well. Besides the food in the photos, we had halibut and broccoli Raab. Beware the broccoli raab was spicy. We were delighted with everything about it. Also loved that the noise level was moderate. Can’t wait to come back with friends!”

“I love the exterior of the building and the interior - especially the large open kitchen layout where you can watch the action. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. The soup I got was incredible and I got the chicken as my entrée. I liked the portion size but thought it was a bit plain. I also tried the gnocchi which I thought was plain. I definitely want to come here again and try other dishes next time.”

“Really looked forward to visiting this restaurant - but was so disappointed. The vibe is awkward and uncomfortable and after having met the chef (glowered at us when we had questions of the menu and wine list), we simply had apps, a bottle of wine and left. We have been to so many wonderful restaurants (some James Beard winners and others that are simply creative, fantastic dining experiences by people that love food) and the common ingredient (!), is the experience and tone set by the chef. I cannot imagine this restaurant surviving.”
