Description

Heidi’s House and its sister space, Ed’s Elbow Room, offer a low-lit neighborhood retreat with craft beer, wine, and a small, focused menu. Because seating is limited, the vibe remains personal and close-knit. The kitchen emphasizes local sourcing, utilizing patties from local butcher Ottomanelli’s to build their English-muffin burgers. Shared plates like the artichoke salad and a popular mac and cheese fill out the offerings, providing a comforting but surprisingly light-feeling meal.
