Customer Reviews
We had a truly exceptional dinner here. I opted for the trout while my husband had the steak; both were executed to perfection. It was clear that every component was handled with care, resulting in a beautifully balanced plate. The standout for me was the almond sauce on the trout—absolutely divine—paired with expertly prepared asparagus and onions. My husband’s steak was equally impressive. We will certainly be returning. Not to mention that our waiter was amazing!!!
There's times in your life where you want something amazing for a great price. Wait that's ALL THE TIME! Fine dining food for a very reasonable price. First we sat down and got to know our amazing waitress Chelsea! Good people and we enjoyed getting to know her while we ate. If we had more time I am sure we would have probably closed the place down while chatting it up! We ordered three dishes between the two of us. My buddy ordered the Trout. So amazing. Tasted so fresh, and the skin was nice and crispy! sitting on top of a bed of sauce and roasted asparagus with microgreens to garnish. Just a perfectly put together dish. We also ordered the Teres Major Steak, that is pan-roasted with a side of fingerling potatoes, broccolini, and a sauce called bordelaise. This sauce was very good! Eac
We had a great experience at The Blue Heron! The crab beignets were perfectly paired with a black pepper sauce that I wanted to take home with me. The teres major steak was tender and perfectly cooked. We ended with the lemon tart for dessert, not pictured because we scarfed it down too quickly. It was a delicious meal, service was great, the environment is fun and tastefully designed. 10/10 recommend!
Perfectly executed dishes, very very thoughtful pacing and time management by the front of house staff, personable wait staff, nice drink selection, intentionally small menu. It felt so nice to walk out to the car after dinner and already be on the west side of town. My only question is: Did the name 'Blue Heron' come before or after the owners acquired the small statuette of a blue colored heron??
The food was very good with a beautiful presentation. The asparagus risotto was amazing. The service was a little slow, so plan to be there for a while.
