The Blue Heron Steakhouse is located in the thriving historic Jefferson Street corridor. We offer an excellent menu with steakhouse classics and modern Southern fare with specialties such as fresh oysters, the finest cuts of beef, shrimp and grits and more. Our restaurant started as a hand-crafted cocktail bar and consumer demand made it obvious that we needed to expand to a full-service kitchen. The Blue Heron is situated in a renovated home with exposed brick, a beautiful, locally crafted chandelier, a roaring two-sided fireplace in the colder months. Locally owned and loaded with character, The Blue Heron is a perfect setting for an intimate date, an evening with friends or simply a casual dinner while watching the game.

    We loved our entire experience at Frank and Dino’s. The meal (Caesar salad and chicken piccata), service (Bella), and ambiance with live music was outstanding. We also really had a nice time at the bar having chocolate martinis. It’s always an enjoyable evening there. Miss the mashed potatoes but linguini side was very good!

    Excellent food. Great service. Kind of dark out table was in the middle of the restaurant in front of the restaurant in front of the service entrance. We had the reservation for months and thought that would warrant a better table. ?? However would not have wanted a different server. Julian was superb
