Heirloom a Modern Farmhouse 18344 Beach Boulevard, Huntington Beach, CA 92648

"Decided to have a Valentine's dinner the day before. I had been here before and it was one of the best restaurants i have enjoyed a meal. It is my kind of place. Small, great ambiance and family owned. However, last night's dinner was a disappointment. We were seated at 645 and promptly served amazing apps of meatballs and their signature eggplant. My date got a Ceasars salad and we thoroughly enjoyed our food. I ordered the scallops and he ordered the beef short rib dish. My dish took over 40 minutes to serve and after 15 to 20 minutes and checking on my date's entre it still wasn't ready. Our server was apologetic but it was just disappointing. I ate my meal which was delicious at the insistence of my date. After about another 5 minutes we told our server we didn't want the entre and could we have dessert and coffee. That took another 10 minutes. The coffee wasn't made correctly, but the cheesecake was amazing. Our server eventually brought my date's entre in a to go bag. I thought wow, that nice, thinking they were giving us the meal to go, but when we got the bill it was on the bill. We told them we didn't want the meal as a $45 ish entre cold the next day didn't sound that great. I asked the server what happened and he apologized and said he didn't properly communicate our order/courses to the kitchen. My scallops were the best I have had and our apps were amazing as I remembered it from my first visit there. This restaurant is one I recommend all the time on Next door app and to friends. Our server may have been new and perhaps should have been shadowed by an experienced server. Our dinner service was an obvious failure and I thought the owner would come speak to us or comp us a dessert or say something, but we were sent on our way. It was the most stressful meals I have had. My date was getting tired and frustrated. I picked the restaurant so I felt terrible about him not getting a relaxing romantic dinner."

"We showed up and the waiter claimed he didn't even work there. He said we would be in good hands with the waitress that actually worked there. She told us she's old, single, and needs a man. She asked us what wine we wanted. We picked one. She didn't have it. Then she told us her absolute favorite wine is available. She then poured all of us full glasses before we could ask any questions. I tasted the wine. It tasted like smoked jockstrap mixed with swampy butt. We ordered dinner which was mediocre at best. We left. Then we ordered half a dozen desserts at another restaurant. The night was saved...by leaving. But our water was never empty."

"We've been talking about our meal and the experience to any and everyone willing to listen. It was truly a joy. The food, ambience, service were perfect. Charly, our server effortlessly made us feel very comfortable and welcomed by referring to us each by name and being very attentive to our needs. We will be back for sure. Thanks Leo for developing this amazing concept for Huntington Beach. A true culinary gem!"

"This place is amazing! From the food to the service and the incredible flavors in every dish. Chef Bree and Charlie, our server made the experience so special. We will be returning and bringing more friends to join next time around❤️ thank you for such a wonderful evening"
