Outstanding food with good quality ingredients and super attentive and knowledgeable service. The passion from the staff is clearly evident. Portion size is good and they have some of the best homemade sauces I have ever had. The cocktails were absolutely delicious and there was a decent amount of choices. I will definitely return for another meal it was fabulous

Blue Heron Restaurant serves up some really solid food — the flavors were well thought out and the portions were generous. Service was decent but felt a bit rushed during our visit, and the atmosphere, while pleasant, didn’t quite match the price point. Overall a good experience worth trying, just a few rough edges to iron out.

We had the pleasure of eating here for our anniversary and everything about this special place was outstanding! We started with salads and tomato pie, excellent… our server was warm and professional with a great eye for detail. Our entrees were excellent, I had scallops with lentils and they were perfectly seasoned and delicious. We were delightfully full, but had to try the chocolate lava cake… again, the best we have tasted. The drive was 45 mins from our home and worth every minute. This place should have many Michelin Stars. We will return 🙂

My family enjoyed a wonderful afternoon here on Mother’s Day. I highly recommend the Ricotta and Honey app, it was light and flavorful.
The staff were kind, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. We ordered Fish and Chips and Shrimp Scampi dishes. The only criticism would be the Fish and Chips coleslaw side. It was unexpectedly extremely spicy – our waitress did not hesitate to offer replacement salad when she noticed that the coleslaw was not being eaten. She apologized for the inconvenience (of course it was not her fault!) and the caesar salads were amazing.
Overall, Blue Heron offers an intimate, cozy, and warm environment for the perfect family dining experience.

See us at the bar because the restaurant was full for two cocktails bartender appetizers. Everything’s excellent filet mignon was perfectly cooked. We couldn’t be happier.

We received a gift card from a friend for this place, otherwise wouldn’t have ever known about this hidden gem! We decided to go for my birthday. We could only get a reservation online for 7:30pm, but decided we would head early and grab a drink at the bar while we waited for our table, but there was no need to wait. They got us in earlier than expected so we were able to sit right down.
If you’re looking for “farm to table” dining, add this to the list! We are forever looking for new places just like this because we loath Corporate America dining! We want a “home cooked meal” when we go out. With real ingredients, made to order and from the heart. Not pulled from a freezer and microwaved or deep fried quickly. The menu has a list of all the farms they get the foods from, many are from Vermont where some of the greatest cheeses in the area come from.
This restaurant did not disappoint. The hardest part was deciding what to get because they had so many great options.
To our surprise they do burgers on Thursday nights. Of course we had to try one because they make their own brioche buns and the beef comes from a butcher in Northfield. Oh! And, they make their own ketchup (presumably the 3 other sauces they have for the fries) and hand cut their own fries. It was an no brainer. Also, we got the mussels, the pumpkin bisque, compost salad, mashed potatoes and ricotta & honey on ciabatta. Quite the smorgasbord and was more than enough to share. The only dish we did not care for was the mashed potatoes. They were flavorless and it’s the type of restaurant that doesn’t put S&P on the table (because they’re flavoring everything enough for you so you shouldn’t need it) but the potatoes could have used some…..thing. They were homemade, smooth and buttery; all the things they should be but something was missing?
It was a little tricky figuring out where to enter the restaurant or park because they had parking in the front and the back. If you park in the back there’s a door on the right, near outdoor seating that looks like you “shouldn’t” go into it because it’s dark inside. Luckily there was a sign on it that said they closed at 8pm, so we took a chance and opened it and saw it’s a foyer for entering the restaurant. There are a few very well lit stairs to walk up to get to the dining area and bar, maybe 5-6.
Our server was awesome. Very knowledgeable on the menu and ingredients as well as able to tell us the specials without reading or looking at anything which lead us to believe he knew what he was doing. He was attentive without hovering and he replaced silverware and dishes before we even had to ask. Good service is so hard to come by these days so we really appreciate that and made sure we expressed our gratitude!

I’ve been here over 10 times in the last 2.5 years. Food is always excellent, the service is even better! I literally have no complaints.
Reading many of the 1 and 2 star reviews makes me laugh. Some people are cranky, cheap, impossible to please, and have a terrible palate. Don’t believe them. Blue Heron is the best!!

Outstanding food. We’ve gone here for a few anniversaries/birthdays. The cocktails are great, atmosphere warm and inviting. However, the wines by the glass are terrible!! I ordered duck here once and there was not one BTG wine that was suitable. They’re all on the cheap, schlocky side. It’s truly baffling that a restaurant this fine would ignore their glass list. For what it’s worth, the bottle list is exactly what I expected–in a good way!

The Blue Heron Restaurant is a gem of culinary delight and flawless service set in the intriguing atmosphere of a building which was once a New England town hall. Our server, Kristin, was there to help whenever needed with friendly guidance, never interrupting, only responding. The evening hours of relaxation, savory enjoyment and spirited conversation passed in the enchanted company of excellent drinks and wine, Pan Seared Sea Scallops of perfection, and superb Oven Roasted Muscovy Duck Breast. We loved the Lentils du Puy which accompanied the Scallops and the Wilted Bitter Greens, Crispy Polenta Cake, Maple Bourbon Fig Reduction that accentuated the Duck. Finally, we closed with an unforgettable Honey Lemon Crème Brulée, served with French Roast Coffee. Will we return? Yes, for sure, if the gastronomical gods allow us a second visit to paradise.

Fabulous experience! We had fresh Opah and the fish was prepared exquisitely to perfection. Our appetizer and dessert were also top quality. Service was superb. We went to celebrate my wife’s birthday and we will be back again and again.
