The people that make our magic.
Owner, Meghan Lee
Meghan Lee is the owner of the beloved white house with red shutters, Heirloom restaurant in Lewes, Delaware. A dedicated dreamer, Meghan first entered the restaurant industry as a teen and was enthralled with the craft of bringing communities together through thoughtful food, drink, and vibrant conversation. Her path led her to working in restaurants tucked along the coast, soaking up the rolling hills of Chester County Pennsylvania, the bountiful beauty of Nantucket, the lively spirit of Philadelphia, before settling into Lewes, a town with generational ties, to start her Heirloom journey. Dedicated to cultivating an environment that brings intention to the joy of eating at her table, Meghan built a restaurant that oozes charm, soul, and the celebration of mid-Atlantic dining. Lee leads her Heirloom team with a true desire to foster a culture that lifts up the spirit of being a restaurateur, and celebrates the genuine connections made in the process. Currently, Meghan lives in the historic district of Lewes with her spirited daughter Reese & handsome baby boy River, and their beloved golden retriever Eli.
