Mother’s Day Brunch at Heron’s Nest – A Day of Highs and Lows
We recently visited Heron’s Nest in Fort Myers for a special Mother’s Day brunch with a group of about 20 people from Babcock Ranch. We had worked extensively with Beverly, the manager, leading up to the event to ensure everything was in place. Each guest called individually to confirm, provided their card details, and we were all set for a 10:00 a.m. reservation—or so we thought.
Upon arriving at this absolutely gorgeous property, our excitement was quickly dampened by a very unpleasant experience at the front desk. We were greeted by the front manager, whose attitude was shockingly rude. She informed us that our reservation was actually for 10:30 a.m., not 10:00, but begrudgingly agreed to seat us early for drinks while we waited for brunch to begin. However, it wasn’t the timing that left a sour taste—it was her words. When we politely questioned why we weren’t seated in the main dining room (as originally requested so we could enjoy the live music), she dismissively told us, “This is why we don’t take reservations on special days from outsiders who don’t live here.”
That comment was not only uncalled for—it was downright offensive. We had made a reservation in good faith, followed every instruction given, and were looking forward to celebrating Mother’s Day. If there were any concerns about our group or seating arrangements, those should have been communicated well before the day of the event. Her lack of professionalism and complete absence of remorse was deeply disappointing.
Thankfully, once we were seated, the rest of the experience was a stark contrast. The food and service were outstanding. The buffet was beautifully arranged, with the prime rib and the live omelet station standing out as particular highlights. Every server who assisted us was kind, attentive, and professional—truly the saving grace of the day.
One minor issue arose during payment: some of us used American Express, which we were told wasn’t accepted. This was puzzling, as many of us had placed our Amex cards on file during booking without any mention of limitations. A simple heads-up beforehand would have gone a long way.
In summary, Heron’s Nest delivered an excellent culinary experience with top-tier service once we were past the front desk—but that initial interaction left a significant blemish on an otherwise memorable Mother’s Day. We hope management reflects on this and ensures that all guests—whether residents or not—are treated with respect and dignity.

The Nest at Heron’s Glen provides great food, great service and a wonderful atmosphere! We dine here often and love the variety of great tasting food offered. They offer healthy options for lunch and dinner as well as bar menu items if craving that type of meal. This is a perfect place to bring guests or other golfers after playing a round on the Heron’s Glen Championship Golf Course. Our friends love dining there as well. During season, they also offer a fabulous breakfast buffet, which includes a complimentary mimosa. This is a true gem! Fantastic dining experience!!

Herons Nest Restaurant & Ballroom, Avenida Del Vera, Inside a gated community, N. Fort Myers, Fl.,
Here is chatter and my 2 cents on the food.
Chatter… First my GPS had me going in circles finding this place. But I was smart enough to disregard it. You must tell the sentry you are going to the eatery. About 3/4 mile ahead.
The restaurant is on a small lake. A bit hidden, easy to find.
First a small sign at the hostess desk greets you saying. NO CASH only credit cards.!!!!
I was by myself dress casual in nice shorts and tee shirts. NO TEES SHIRTS ALLOWED. I was give a short sleeved shirt with a collar. ( NOTE… The manager was wearing a red plaid shirt. :-0 ) There was only 2 tables filled in a place that could handle 100 folks.
They directed me to a table next to a wall. I ask for a table with a view of the lake …they said they were reserved. I got one in a corner next to a baby piano. For my 45 minutes being here NO ONE sat at the reserved tables.
The food. Waffles, sausage, home fries and coffee. 16 bucks.
First , the coffee was just commercial brand , no big whoop. The waffles were ok. They mix up my order and brought me bacon the first time out. It was quickly change.
I am having a bad luck of fried foods. The home fries were fried too crisp. I could not poke a hole in one potato pieces with my fork. My server offered to exchange. I denied it. I was full.
Service was fine.
This has to be the MOST PRETENTIOUS & SNOBBY place I have EVER been to in my life.
Do I recommend this??? Only if you are high maintenance, pretentious and snobby!!!!

Very nice dining room with bar overlooking pool and patio and lake. Savannah salad with champagne vinaigrette was delicious, companions had the salad trio and Caesar salad with salmon. Understand there are nightly specials advertised on Heron’s Glen profile on Facebook. It’s a gated community but inform them at gate you’re visiting the Nest Restaurant and provide ID at gate and you’re good to go. End of season but Def plan return as the menu is diverse and atmosphere is engaging.

Sorry reviews online for this golf community restaurant that was opened and on members. Reviews I saw mention the buffet. I have been trying to eat carb-free due to recent unexplained spikes in my blood glucose that I’m monitoring. I decided to a buffet was ideal as I could pick and choose among items that were satisfying yet very low in carb or no carb. I looked at an online menu and it seemed to have enough choices. I did not see a buffet on the menu. Evidently I also missed that entrees were only available Thursday and Friday and we were visiting on a Saturday. We went through the front entrance and gave her ID to the gate guard and they let us know and we got seated in the restaurant. When we got the menus it was pretty limited and there was no buffet but we decided to eat there anyway. My partner had the flatbread pizza for $10 and while it was good it was not sufficient for dinner meal. She would have liked to add on a salad in addition to it but it would be $9 and she chose not to. I ordered blackened grouper sandwich without the bread. It came sprinkled on top and it was broiled or similar. It was extremely dry to the point where I could hardly pull pieces of it apart from each other. I hate it because I was hungry. We decided to just get our bill and leave and I was ready to give 20% tip but I noticed an 18% tip had already been applied so I just let it go with that since I’d ask for water several times and didn’t get it until right before we were leaving. Caramel with tip ended up being 40 bucks. We left feeling we should have gone somewhere else and gotten a nicer meal for the money. If you’re looking for a buffet maybe they have one during snowboard season but they didn’t have it now and outside of the reuben sandwich that looked pretty good when I saw others being served it I don’t think I would do this again. The entrees were priced between 26 and $28 for the 6 oz play which isn’t a bad price for the fillet. But since we couldn’t order it except for Thursday and Friday will never know how good it was. We want father to try it again.

Excellent food Ceasar Salad with blackened grouper! Drinks very good also. Kim hustled to keep all her tables happy. Could use a couple (1-2) more wait staff for busy hours(5-8). Especially on Thursday, entertainment night. Keep up the good job, but make it great.

Lovely atmosphere. Our server Delroy was a dancing, tray wearing entertainment to add to the small band. A fun place. Prices were good. Food quality good. Prime burger excellent. Fries great.

Awesome….great buffet choices. Food very good. Service from Eric very nice. Reservation vs. no reservation a little confusing. We did not have reservation but was still able to be seated if we could be done in 1 hr and 15 min since it was a reserved table. No problem for us. Ate in 1 hour but the people ahead of us declined and left. Not quite sure how that works. Will go back if food/service stays this good. We have been away for a very long time.
