Since moving from their Clemson location, their sushi serving & pricing is absolutely ridiculous for what you receive. These rolls are tiny & priced double compared to what they are worth. So disappointing. While dining in, I ordered a french onion soup & it came out lukewarm..at best. How does that happen? We keep giving this location chance after chance. We want to support local, but it is difficult to support a restaurant with so many inconsistencies.

We have loved our past experiences at Blue Heron and have always looked forward to the next night out there. We were there on Thursday this week and the service was fair and the food was, less than. The server was doing the best she could with what she had to work with. Our spinach dip appetizer was oily and separating, the dinner bread was an epic fail and should have never made it out of the kitchen. My husbands fish, the snapper “special” was very over cooked. I hope to get back when the food and service are both back to what it once was.

This is the second time we have trusted Blue Heron to a friends Birthday ,the first time he never got his food and this time they ran out of steak !! The food was not great but the waitress tried her best. Probably last time… This is the first time I have ever reviewed a restaurant but I feel the owners and management need to know

Don't go here in a hurry... Food is great, service excellent. It's a slow paced upper scale price and menu wise but always good food and drinks.

I got the special flat iron steak and wife got filet. Mine was decent other than too much fat but wife's
Medium was cooked closer to MW. Service was good and staff was pleasant. Place was packed but we were seated as soon as we got there. We would recommend a reservation tho.

If it was possible to leave 0 stars I would. After waiting an hour for our food my tuna came out well done instead of rare like it was ordered. The manager pointed out two pieces that were medium rare at best and offered at 50% discount and would not take care of the meal like he should have. Please take your business elsewhere.

Delicious delicious delicious! On a visit for a few nights and I ate here 2 times and both times the service was excellent and the food was really well prepared. Sushi 🍣, steak 🥩, pasta and burgers? The only thing this place doesn’t have his pizza but there’s a place right next-door.

Blue heron you should be ashamed for not providing a changing table in either one of the ladies rooms! I had to change my baby in a booth while customers are their meal! It’s ridiculous and you have room in the… bathrooms for one. Also I don’t think it was all our servers fault but the food took forever and we didn’t get our sushi (that was suppose to be an appetizer) til right before we left and then was still expected to pay for it!

Fantastic food. My elderly father eats every bite of his 2inch thick pork chop-except the taste he will share w my mom. The steak entree w mushroom puff pastry is heavenly. Kellie is wonderful & always friendly & welcoming. Great bar area w tv’s but on tap beer selection isn’t stellar but they are changing it this fall. Please bring Guinness back! Always a great treat when I come to see my parents.

My absolute favorite restaurant! It's on the pricey side, so we do not go often. We have been several times though. The service is always great, food is never short of amazing! I always try different entrees, but my favorite is probably the one with wild mushrooms and puff pastry. It's delicious. I love the homemade butters as well. Definitely try this place!

Great atmosphere food was good. I did have a tasty burger. I asked for medium done however it came cooked well well done. Burger still was good. Manager seen me asked me about it and I told him. He made it right and by giving me half off even though I said I would pay for it since I was eating it...
I will be going back for Sushi

One of the best meals I had in a long time. Very reasonable prices for such quality food. Super friendly staff as well. The wild mushrooms on puff pastry that came with the filet mignon were out of this world. Highly recommend that entree.

The Blue Heron NEVER disappoints! This is the perfect spot for a family meal. The food is thoughtfully prepared to order, so enjoy some time of fellowship in the beautifully restored building and just embrace the whole experience.
