Definitely a five star, food was delicious and the manager Andrea was super friendly. I felt like I knew her forever and Kayla the waitress was fabulous too. Definitely took good care of us. A bonus the 70’s music. Thanks for a wonderful evening at your restaurant.

Excellent experience. Paige took care of us and was awesome. The salmon is exquisite, and my wife loved her pear salad. This is going to be a new place to frequent. Highly recommend!!

Food was very bland. I got the salmon with green beans and potatoes. Green beans tasted like from a can. No flavor at all, potatoes were cold, but decent in flavor, not great. Salmon was cooked very well, but again no seasoning. Reminded me of KFC greens beans, they had onion and I think bacon. Got the crab and pimento dip- no flavor, too thick of chips. Very disappointed in the quality and the prices. Got the margarita old fashion which were both good. Nice touch with the (tap) water in a glass bottle. Seafood pasta- not bad. I’m really not one to complain much, but I was very disappointed. Spent over $100 including tip, for 2 alcohol drinks, appetizer, 2 entrees. The server was very nice and all the staff seems that way.

We ordered 2 appetizers, 3 meals and 2 desserts. I didn’t care for the coleslaw. I’m really picky about coleslaw so that doesn’t surprise me. The fish & chips were good. I could only eat half because of the huge portion. My husband liked the lobster bisque and my son liked the seafood pasta. Great service. We would definitely go back.

Nice addition to the Buckeye Lake area. I will definitely look forward to returning. I tried the Tuna & Drunken Clam appetizers and both looked and tasted picture perfect. The beef for the Steak and Cheeseburger were fresh delicious meats that you don’t see all of the time. The drink menu was excellent with the local craft beers & the amazing Blue Heron cocktail. The inside was clean and a very comfortable environment.

We’ve been here several times. Nate the bartender is amazing. Parking is great. Best Ahi Tuna I’ve had in the last 100 restaurants. It’s absolutely the best. The setting, decor, atmosphere…. It’s the best! To the owners, don’t change a thing! Kelp on doing what you are doing.

Service was friendly and quick. Karla was very helpful. Portions were large and well presented. I had the fish and chips with an insanely large piece of fish and exquisitely seasoned “chips”. Even cooled, the fries were delicious. Missing was vinegar. My spouse had seafood pasta which was very tasty and not overwhelming in seafood flavor. Missing on the menu were side salads. Good beer and wine selection. Unlike too many restaurants, the temperature was not chillingly cold. The internal nautical theme was a bit sparse. We’ll make the Blue Heron a regular dining spot.

The place is relatively nice for how it’s set up. Had high hopes it would be good since we live so close, but probably won’t go back. And definitely not to the tune of $100-$150 with no drinks. The filet wasn’t bad, but it’s not a $50 steak. The sides (cheese potatoes) were just blah and the fish-n-chips was just gross and isn’t what you’d expect. I’ve eaten here, The Craftsman (Cherry Valley Lodge), and Hereinafter all in the last 2 weeks and Craftsman smoked them both. If this place doesn’t try harder it won’t make it through the fall.

Had a stellar first experience. Restaurant was super busy, but staff were friendly and knowledgeable and we had great service. Food was amazing, everyone at our table had something different, Crab Bisque, Walnut and Pear salad, fish and chips, salmon. Everything was amazing, flavorful, and well cooked. We had the crab pimento dip for an appetizer and wish we would’ve ordered 2, it was that good. Drinks were also great, the blue heron is unique, fun, and a pretty drink! We’ve already made another reservation to return!

This place is such a gem! Great food, fantastic service, beautiful atmosphere. The husband and I have been saying for a long time that Buckeye Lake needs more places that serve something besides bar food. It’s nice to have good, Columbus-quality food in a locally owned, small town restaurant.
