   A-mazing. This Chef! This Chef! Brilliant. Talented. Thoughtful! The staff, also amazing. Hannah was great. The sommelier was amazing. She’s my new BFF. I can’t describe how wonderful everything was at the restaurant. I’m so impressed. Best meal ever outside of MiniBar, which isn’t a fair compared. This. Was. Amazing.

   Lovely choices, each with interesting food combinations, beautifully presented: even the dishes are artistic. Service was nicely orchestrated, with a parade of servers bringing various courses, and there are many, as a little amuse-bouche is served each time before the next course. We chose our own wines and the sommelier elaborated on them during the pour. Everyone was friendly and seemed genuinely pleased that we were enjoying our dinner. It is not only fine dining, but an experience to dine at Herons.

   I’ve never had a bad meal here and would be surprised if I did. It’s perhaps the only true service experience in the triangle area. Great wine program and just beautiful, surprising and satisfying food.

    Options for vegans are dismal here, but I was able to get by for a delicious breakfast - oats are made with almond milk by default, and are hearty and delicious with goji berries, blueberries, cinnamon, nuts, and more; there's also fresh pressed juices, and soy or almond milk available for lattes. You could also get roasted potatoes or fresh fruit. But options for lunch and dinner are non-existent on the menu, and accommodations are minimal. It's even pretty bad for vegetarians at lunch/dinner. It's never a good sign when, in 2022, chefs are still not putting fully vegan options on all menus. But I will add that it is a lovely spot to dine and service is top notch.

    Went for Fathers Day brunch; service was okay; some of the food items were out and it was 1030 am. We have been many times to Heron’s and this experiences was not great compared to all the other times we have gone for brunch or dinner.

    I have visited Herons many times for lunch. Everything The Umstead Hotel does is first class and Herons is no exception. I recommend the blueberry pancakes for a breakfast option and the lobster roll for a lunch option. My two favorite servers are Priya and Cameron. Have fun!

    Herons was our choice to celebrate our 33rd anniversary. Every dish was so creative and a delight for the palate. I was very pleased with their wine list and the sommelier helped us choose an Oregon Pinot to accompany our dinner. Service during our meal was first rate. Unfortunately, service at the beginning of our seating was inattentive. Also, there was an issue with the valet retrieving our car after dinner.

    We really liked the place. But, the service was bad we order entrees and drinks and didn't receive them. Also, I asked from the chef no dairy in the Filet mignon. They mixed between me and my husband cooking size. We needed to wait 20min and also in the second time I didn't recieve my cooking size MW. After getting my food it was not delicious but not too bad. However, we did like the dessert and my husband like his Filet mignon. They did Compensate us.

    I usually love the food, but today’s selection was very much on the creamy side. I ordered the crab salad toast and soup. Both selections were heavy on the cream and didn’t sit well with me.

    This night was pure perfection. We arrived to the friendliest host that wished us happy anniversary and brought us to our table. From the moment we were seated, I felt special and so did my wife. The food was amazing and with each course kept getting better. This was the best experience and would highly recommend.

    The food and its presentation was great. The wine pairings were excellent and Kathryn, the sommelier, was very knowledgeable and helpful in explaining the wine pairings. Our server, Leslie, was very knowledgeable about the food offerings and her suggestions were spot on. One of the other staff, Catherine, was also very helpful in answering our questions. The whole staff interaction was great.

    Amazing! My wife and I celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary at Herons and they went the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed a special evening. We opted for the 4-course prix fixe menu with wine pairings. Such eclectic flavors and presentation! We wanted to photo every course. The staff were very, very attentive and professional and the ambience was perfect for our celebration. To be clear, this is an expensive evening ($500+) but we enjoyed more than just a nice meal. We enjoyed a truly memorable dining experience! We will be going back at our next special occasion.

    OUT-STAND-ING. This is one of the top meals we have had since the start of the pandemic. The tasting menu was phenomenal and worth every penny. Oysters: I have no words except Best Ever. The “Egg” topped with delicate slices of truffle—I almost passed out from the flavors. The duck was perfectly prepared and cooked, the quail was surprising little bites of deliciousness. We had other dishes but I’m still recovering from the exceptional flavors and service. Leslie was a delight, as well as Nate. Heron’s is spectacular.

    Just a phenomenal meal at Herons last night… service is fabulous, the meal presentation was incredible, and dinner was delicious. It’s NOT CHEAP - you have to know going into this that you’re looking at a $500(ish) meal for two people. But the experience is one you’ll remember.

    Thank you to open table for reservations! Initially I called the restaurant direct and they asked my name and apparently said they were completely booked. Open Table immediately had reservations for us. The restaurant was empty for the majority of our lunch. Service was outstanding! Great atmosphere! Food was mediocre.
