Heirloom, Lewes, DE

Less than a mile from the Delaware Bay and set in a charming Victorian house, Heirloom restaurant is a treasure of the beachside Lewes community, beloved for its elegance, seasonality, and locally sourced ingredients. We’ve invited 2019 Beard Award semifinalist chef Matthew Kern and owner Meghan Lee to travel from their house to ours and create a memorable spring dinner of coastal delights!
