An Excerpt from the USA Today Review

Heirloom Kitchen in Old Bridge sprouted from a cooking school tucked in a strip mall into a bustling BYOB dining destination with James Beard semifinalist and “Top Chef” contender David Viana in the kitchen. The restaurant serves creative and colorful renditions of classic dishes with a four-course prix fixe menu and a vegan prix fixe menu. Each week, one dish comes off each menu, never to return, and is replaced with something new. But in the best of both worlds, this high-end fare is served in an approachable, airy space with an open kitchen, chef’s table, mismatched chairs, pops of greenery and a book nook packed with beloved cookbooks, making Heirloom Kitchen a true hidden gem that remains in the unassuming strip mall, even on the heels of astronomical success and two additional restaurants.

An Intimate Neighborhood Cocktail Bar

Next door to Lita is La Otra, where Bar Manager Ricardo Rodriguez has developed a collection of globally inspired cocktails, veering away from the strictly Iberian inspiration that drives the drinks program at Lita.

Guests can swing by for a cocktail before dinner, or spend an evening just at La Otra.

La Otra also offers cocktail classes created and taught by Ricardo.

Limited Seating: 14 Seats/Class
Duration: 1.5hr (give or take)!

Fine dining meets beachside bungalow at Heirloom at the St. Laurent

We were so honored to be featured on CBS’s
The Dish: Stories About Food & Life

“The flavors of fine dining meet laid-back beach vibes at the Heirloom at St. Laurent, a restaurant in Asbury Park, New Jersey. Run by chef David Viana and owner Neilly Robinson, the establishment is run out of a vintage hotel and emphasizes the area’s flavors and history. Dana Jacobson has more.”

Farm-to-Table Restaurant, Cooking School, & Retail Boutique

In addition to our cooking classes and retail selection, Heirloom Kitchen takes reservations and accepts walk-ins for our supper club and restaurant service. We offer an exclusive chef’s table seating around our kitchen island, where guests can watch Chef Viana and his team prepare and artfully present their dishes, as well as communal seating at our Farm Table (which may be reserved for larger parties) and a traditional dining room. Chef Viana’s menu, changing with the seasons, and often weekly, features modern, playful takes on American classics. As always, Heirloom Kitchen commits itself to sourcing the finest quality ingredients and curating both an elevated and interactive dining experience. We look forward to hosting you!
