The story
On Larchmont Avenue in Westchester County, Heritage 147 is the kind of place that feels like it was made for the people who live nearby — because, in a real sense, it was. Chef-owners Rich Perez and Alissa Svorka opened it as their own wishlist restaurant: everything they would want when dining out with their families, and everything they would want for the people who work alongside them. As they put it, it's "as local as local gets — from the food to the furnishings, their collaborators and the conversation."
That ethos runs through every decision at H147. The philosophy they describe is rooted in community, slow living, and "kindness and care above all else — oh, and really, really good food."
Heritage 147's farm-to-fork approach is not a marketing label — it's an obsession. The team sources the best domestic, sustainably grown, and foraged products they can find, presenting a menu built around ingredients that are both familiar and exciting. Their own words say it plainly: "food as it should be — simple and honest."
The kitchen extends its reach beyond the dining room through a provisions offering: seasonally inspired, organically sourced items prepared for guests to take home and use in their own entertaining. The same standards that govern the restaurant kitchen apply here.
The wine program at Heritage 147 earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2024 — recognition that reflects the genuine care put into its curation. The reserve list focuses on artisanal vintners from the world's great wine-producing regions, with a particular emphasis on makers committed to sustainability and organic practices. It's a direct extension of the restaurant's farm-to-fork values, applied to the glass. Wine Wednesdays offer guests 50% off bottles priced at $100 or under, and 25% off bottles above that threshold — making the award-winning list genuinely accessible.
The room at Heritage 147 is warm and welcoming, with a bar that anchors a lively happy hour every weekday from 4 to 6pm. Thursday evenings bring specially priced cocktails, and select late nights feature live music. Seasonal programming — including The Beach by H147 at Manor Park and a Sunday Brunch Club — extends the experience well beyond the dining room walls. Private events and catering are also available for those looking to bring the H147 spirit to their own occasions.
For Larchmont and the wider Westchester community, Heritage 147 is a place where fine dining and genuine neighborliness coexist without contradiction.
