Heritage

Run by siblings Philip and Lauren Pretty, Heritage serves a classically Californian tasting menu ($160) from a converted Craftsman bungalow in Long Beach's Rose Park. No other restaurant in Los Angeles County can say they have their own farm (which doubles as an event space) and a zero-waste kitchen. The Prettys pride themselves on sourcing locally for things they can’t grow or make themselves, including bread. Dairy, meat and seafood purveyors are carefully chosen for their sustainability practices. All trimmings and byproducts from the cooking process are either repurposed or composted, and the beer and wine offerings are all sourced in-state. High-quality seasonal ingredients, including produce sourced from Heritage’s namesake urban farm, sets the restaurant apart, as does memorable dishes like dry-aged rib chop with black garlic, hen of the woods mushroom with artichoke stew and a strawberry jam stroopwaffle.
