Christmas Dinner We went to Herons for our Company Christmas Dinner. The service was excellent and the interior was nice. I would like to be able to see the view in the daytime -- because I wasn't sure what it overlooked. Might have been a SAS campus building? My food was good - steak -- not the best I've ever had, but pretty good. The dessert - some chocolate concoction was excellent. My husband had some sort of gumbo dish -- and he said it was the best he'd ever had. Definitely pricey - but a good place for a special dinne... read more

Great lunch A bit pricey and the portions are appropriate size (not giant), but the food was incredible and dining outside on the pond made us feel a million miles away from Raleigh

My husband took me to Heron's for my 50th birthday. Everything about the restaurant was flawless. The waitstaff was very attentive and efficient, the food was interesting and delicious. This restaurant is a culinary delight. Manhattan and Paris have nothing on you Heron's.

Extremely Rude Manager, Will not return – I recently visited this restaurant as part of a mother-daughter-granddaughter annual tradition. We missed our existing reservation, and the manager of the restaurant informed us that he was doing his last lunch seating. He then said that it would be in our best interest to dine in the bar and lounge. The manager's tone and choice of words were very demeaning (don't tell me what's in my best interest). Also, we had my 2-year-old with us and she did not need to be at the bar! Everyone ... read more

Memorable, but not in a good way.... – Our anniversary celebration began in the bar lounge area. Very nice, elegant area. Our table in Herons was ready promptly. Overall it was a very good dining experience. Presentation was lovely. First courses: steak tartar; sea scallops. Second course: frisee salad; signature ceasar salad. Third: wild striped bass; pheasant breast. Good selection of wines by the bottle. We enjoyed the Patz & Hall Pinor Noir Chenoweth Ranch ’07. The only misstep would be that the pheasant, although moist ... read more

Heron's Overly Priced for Average Food – Okay, we were told that we could only get a 7:30pm reservation. We get there and the place is empty. They sit us next to the door. The food is terribly overpriced. They also have really no good vegetarian options. Beware the root vegetable option for $28 is laughable and insulting to vegetarians. I'm surprised the chef couldn't think of something better. The portions are small. My husband was hungry after the meal...I didn't feel like I ate anything. Dessert okay. Drinks good. The ser... read more

Not a 5 star on this night – Had I been in France, I might have expected the slow service. I realize preparing great food requires time, but this was almost insufferable. I think they had to go outside to the barn and garden to gather up what they needed once we got there! Could have been great...what a disappointment considering the money spent and that I had told the restaurant it was a rather special night.

New Chef- Great food – There is a new Chef at this place and let me tell you he on top of his game. I had a great lunch with friendly service and will return for dinner. It is nice to have such a fine-dining place here in the Raleigh area.
