After 2 1/2 years, Heirloom in St. Paul is shuttering after today.

A post on the restaurant’s Facebook page (facebook.com/HeirloomStPaul) from owner/chef Wyatt Evans states: “It breaks my heart to announce that today, July 31st, will be our last service at Heirloom. I had a dream of opening a restaurant that put hospitality first by celebrating the genuine connections between people, food and the overall guest experience. I truly feel that we accomplished that here. I felt very proud of every note of laughter, every tasty bite of food and every connection we were able to make with our wonderful, wonderful guests. My heart is heavy in thinking that I may not get to take care of so many regulars that kept this place going, and sorry that we won’t be here for you anymore.”

Evans encourages customers to stop by one last time today.

Surdyk’s adds bar and eatery called Sidebar “I wish to celebrate the great memories tonight and not dwell on all the mistakes I have made. This neighborhood has been my second home for the past two and half years, and we have shared some great times, I only wish it could continue,” the post states. “Thanks to everyone who has helped make Heirloom what it is, even if it’s just for one more night. I think Melville said, ‘It is better to fail at innovation than to succeed at imitation.’ I really hope that’s true.”

Heirloom opened on Marshall Avenue in Merriam Park in late 2015 with a “modern farmhouse cuisine” approach, serving up seasonal dishes from nature’s bounty. The spot quickly became known for its innovative, composed dishes for noshing on or building a multi-course meal.
