We loved that we could order and take our food back to the room—since we were staying at the spa, it made everything so convenient. Service was fast, dinner was amazing with spot-on flavors, but breakfast… that was truly beyond amazing! Highly recommend!

We’re staying on property so eating here is easy. We’ve experienced all meals both in restaurant and take out. The take out experience was easy. I had the capreese sandwich with fries. The sandwich was large and more than enough for me it was ok. My husband had the veggie patty burger. He said it was ok. We had breakfast there. Service was quick and the meal was fine. Both of us had eggs, toast and potatoes. We’ve eaten dinner there twice. The service was really slow both times despite it not being very busy. I would recommend reservations. I had the hummus and the whipped feta for my meal. Both were yummy. The hummus was three different types and the beet and carrot were spicy. The feta was really good. My husband had had the spinach salad. The next night o had the green chili stew without meat and it was gooood. A bit spicy for me but I paired it with the spinach salad so it balances it out. My husband had pasta pomodoro with chicken. It was a good portion size. We shared the cheese cake which I must say was substandard. It was partially frozen so it just crumbled as we cut into it. And it was flavorless. Overall a great place to eat while on property. It is rather pricey though but I’ve found most good restaurants in the area are pricy.

The atmosphere and the service were great however, our food was incredibly bland. The whipped feta with pita bread was good. We were disappointed in the drink menu. They only offer about five cocktail options, we tried to order off of the cocktail list and they said they can only make the handful of cocktails that they have on their list, which was disappointing. My friend ordered the scallops and the presentation was quite messy and the scallops were very small and tasteless. They also just put down a handful of bitter arugula as a side without seasoning or cooking it or even dressing it as a salad. I ordered the short ribs which I didn’t think were possible to be bland however, The taste and meal overall left much to be desired. Very disappointing for a $200 meal.

We arrived early for our 5:30 PM reservation and were welcomed warmly (off to a good start), we were seated, told we could order from either the lunch or dinner menu. Then things went downhill.
While there were two wait staff in the mostly empty dining room (it was before 5), no one came to our table to take our order. Other patrons were seated, their orders taken and drinks and food served. After 20 minutes of waving at the wait staff and having a sense we were invisible, I connected with the person who seated us. He was extremely apologetic, gave us a free delicious cheese and pita appetizer. The waitress finally came to take our order Saying that she never saw us even though I’ve seen her see us multiple times.
I thought I would give the Christmas special of chicken a try. $40. My husband chose off a regular menu and got enchiladas.
Delivery of the food was within reasonable, not speedy. Almost one hour after we arrived. The patrons who arrived after us were finished with their meal and paying their bill.
Sadly the Christmas special was not what I was expecting in comparison to my last visit when the food was outstanding along with the service. It was not worth a $40 charge. The chicken was dry, the kale not cut with no seasoning and the stuffing was just OK.
We had a wonderful time in the past as I said with great food and service. This experience was very disappointing. My husband shared his enchilada was OK.
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Hot Springs and highly recommend them. Our hotel room is perfect. The pool is wonderful and morning Yoga very good.
We had planned to have more meals during our stay at the restaurant, but opted out this time around Due to this experience.
I do want to credit the gentleman who seated us and attempted to be helpful. How much was our bill at Heron?

Good, solid restaurant if you’re not feeling like leaving the spa grounds, though you’ll pay a little more for the convenience and no one’s surprised by that. The food is good quality. Special call out to the chilaquiles for breakfast.

My wife and I stayed here for two nights and had dinner and breakfast at the Blue Heron. It’s a small, cute dining room with pretty views of the property, including the lake. If you’re lucky and get a window table the view is especially pretty. There were also outdoor tables and we saw quite a few people enjoying breakfast out there, but we only ate inside.
We had the same server for dinner and breakfast and she was really nice. We came on weekdays so it was very quiet. Our server said that it can get quite busy on the weekends but we never experienced that.
For the dinner, I had the pork shank, AKA osso buco. It had a honey red chili sauce, plus candied yams and kale. The meat was cooked really well and very tender, and quite delicious inside. The sauce was okay, but it was a little too sweet for my liking. I would have rather it had more savory and red chili flavor, but it wasn’t awful. The meat was really quite good. The candy yams were tasty but the portion was huge and there’s no way I could ever finish it. It did make me a bit nostalgic for Thanksgiving, I hadn’t had that in a while. The kale was lightly cooked and fairly fresh tasting but didn’t have any other flavor. It should have used salt.
For breakfast I got huevos rancheros and this was actually a very nice plate. Here I got to taste the red chili on its own and it was excellent, some of the better red chili I’ve had. Well spiced and not bitter. The hash browns were again nicely cooked but very plain and I needed to add some salt.
That is a general theme, things tasted a bit undersalted and I wonder if that’s because this is somewhat of a healthful place, ie the spa and mineral springs. At dinner, I resisted adding salt but wish I had. For breakfast I added salt to the hash browns and a little to the eggs and it fixed everything up. The rest of the flavored were great.
Overall, it’s pretty pricey but you should be and to guess that going in. everyone is really nice and the dining room feels very nice to sit in. I be wish the food was better salted, but overall it’s solid.

Great service, but the chef/cooks should be ashamed serving this for $40-50 a plate. Had to send my steak back twice and finally just got it refunded. Salmon was extremely overcooked too. Horrible quality food for the price. Do yourself a favor and grab food from elsewhere before heading to the spa.

Five stars for the food, for freshness and flavor. The prices are reasonable for high quality options. Make a reservation and show up hungry. You don’t have to be a guest of the hotel or the spa to enjoy the restaurant but if you’re spending time in the pools I recommend dinner afterwards. There’s a coffee shop with snacks, salads, and sandwiches on the other side of the resort to help hold you over.
The service was lacking in my experience, our server wasn’t attentive and we felt like a bit of a bother. I didn’t pay much attention to it but possibly because they didn’t pay much attention to us. We still had a wonderful experience, the overall atmosphere is more tranquil outside the restaurant than within. If the weather is nice, consider outdoor seating. Overall we had a pleasant experience. Both the ribs and chicken were delicious, tender with a robust flavor, I recommend the ribs over the chicken if you’re okay with red meat. I’d like to try brunch next time!

I was with a friend we ate in the last 45 minutes of their lunch time and we did not feel rushed. the food came out promptly and was delicious. I had the curry soup with shrimp which came with a nice piece of toasted French roll. I had three or four large shrimp in my soup and it was very satisfying. service was attentive. all in all, a lovely experience

Well, I was very cautions after what I read prior to coming here. Wait staff was good not amazing because it was Valentine’s Day so I get it. My entree’s potato’s were burnt while others hard. My steak was seared and burnt and my vegetables were cooked to the point of mush. My significant other had the green chili cheese burger was also you guessed it BURNT and could barley taste the green chili. Definitely not worth the price I paid. If you can just avoid and go into the city honestly
