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.
Everything was fantastic MINUS the MANAGER!!! – You can thank the manager of Heron's for losing two stars, otherwise I would have rated this a 5-star. The restaurant is not only beautiful but the food was fantastic. Our waitor was very kind, helpful and knowledgable of the menu and food items. The only problem I had with the restaurant was the manager. He seemed to follow around the employees like they were children, which made me very uncomfortable. I also caught him yelling at one of his employees in clear view of the rest... read more
Don't waste your time or money – My friends and I dined at Heron's tonight for the first time. What a disappointment!!! Our initial reception was excellent which led us to expect a wonderful evening, but it was not to be. Our waiter was obsequious at first and then seemed to forget that we were there. My salad came out 10 minutes after everyone else had been served and when it arrived it was both hot and cold. A friend ordered the "Fire and Ice" which he promptly sent back as inedible; frozen lettuce with hot bacon grease po... read more
Outstanding Dinner – My wife and I had the privilege to spend our 10th wedding anniversary dinner at Herons last Friday August 22. This is by far one of our best dining experiences that we ever had. We both have years of experience in the food and wine industry in Los Angeles, New York City and Raleigh, both in front and back of the house. As a professional artist I have to acknowledge the architectural beauty and interior design of the restaurant. When we arrived the maitre d'hotel and the hostess were very accommodating to... read more
