"The restaurant inside the Umstead Hotel and Spa is a Forbes five-star restaurant for a reason. This is a special occasion spot for dinner, a four-course prix fixe menu, with an epic wine list (ask the on-site sommelier questions and learn more). The menu takes inspiration from North Carolina, even growing fruits and vegetables at its nearby farm. Each dish is plated with artistic presentation. Other can’t-miss Heron’s experiences: Breakfast outside with a view of the grounds or cocktails in the lounge." - Sarah Day Owen Wiskirchen
