The Blue Heron Steakhouse

The Blue Heron Steakhouse offers a dining experience that effortlessly combines intimacy, exceptional cuisine, and impeccable service. From the moment you step inside, the warm, welcoming atmosphere invites you to relax and savor a meal in a space that feels more like a personal dining room than a bustling restaurant. With its small, cozy environment, The Blue Heron creates the perfect setting for an unforgettable meal. One standout dish that sets the tone for the culinary journey is the Grilled Brie appetizer. This perfectly executed starter marries creamy, melted Brie with a delightful crunch from toasted walnuts, all elevated by the rich sweetness of an excellent fig jam. The balance of flavors is impeccable—each bite offers a harmonious interplay of texture and taste that leaves you eager for the next course. The main attraction, however, is the extraordinary filet. Cooked to absolute perfection, this tender, flavorful cut of beef is a true testament to the chef’s skill. Accompanying sides are thoughtfully prepared to complement the steak without overwhelming it, striking a delightful balance that enhances the overall dining experience. Every bite feels like a masterclass in flavor coordination. Adding to the experience is the service, which is attentive yet never intrusive. The staff strikes the perfect balance, ensuring your needs are met with a smile while allowing you to enjoy the meal and company at your leisure. The Blue Heron Steakhouse is more than a meal—it’s an experience that lingers in your memory long after the last bite. With its exceptional food, intimate ambiance, and top-tier service, this gem is a must-visit for anyone seeking a truly elevated dining experience.

I’ve lived in Cape Coral Florida for 18 months now.. it’s sad that I had to drive over 900 miles for a great steak 🥩 besides the Filet my wife fixes from Farmer Joe’s on our grill. I know Blue Heron wouldn’t disappoint and I was right. And the service that David provided was absolutely incredible. Such a personable person, courtesy and friendly. A great overall Experience…

Beautiful little spot in downtown Lexington. The food was exceptional, we had the baked brie, sautéed spinach, roasted broccoli, mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, and filet, which was cooked perfectly to order. The mac and cheese has to be ordered separately as a sharable side and while the portion size was not massive, it was one of the best macs I have ever had. Service was impeccable; we made a reservation and the front staff had us seated immediately at a perfectly clean and prepared table. The waiter was phenomenal - not overly eager to serve, but made sure we were always taken care of. As for the atmosphere... As the name suggests, The Blue Heron puts on the appearance of a coastal lodge, with a beautiful rustic interior of real wood fire places and exposed wood trusses. What confused me, however, was the choice of music. Higher-end eateries are usually filled with quiet, smooth jazz or classical numbers, yet this place seemed to have a preference for a blend of techno, alternative, and electronic. All fine genres by any count, but not what I dream of listening to while on a romantic date at an upscale spot. This didn't ruin the meal by any means, but something to note if you're a snob about that kind of detail. Overall, I highly recommend The Blue Heron.

First of all the place is absolutely gorgeous. I had the filet and it was wonderful. My fiance had the New York strip. The spinach was great, the hand cut fries were awesome and the crab cake appetizer special rivals Maryland's. The wine did not disappoint either.

What a delightful birthday evening. David was wonderful on my special night. To start, a wonderful selection of bourbons, followed by a delicious baked brie with fig preserve. Our steaks were cooked to perfection; delicious crust with the perfect medium rare inside. And, the apple crumble ala mode was the topping on a perfect meal. Kudos to all!

I wanted a great place to celebrate my Babe's 60th coming up this week. I'd heard the Blue Herring was fantastic. And it is. David was our server and he was perfect. Relaxed, chill, but was always checking in to see what we needed. David suggested that we, as non-natives, take a stroll up to the bar and discuss which local whiskey we might prefer with the expert, the bartender. I got the Green River Rye. Had great flavor. Jeanne got the Four Roses. The Baked Brie was a great starter. We recommend it. Jeanne got the Tender Loin and I got the RibEye. The crust was perfect, seasoned with fantastic flavor, juicy and melted like butter. Will recommend to anyone at the Horse Park who is undecided where to eat. I don't even like apple pie but helped Jeanne polish it off. It was really good. Warm with the ice cream and a crust cinnamonie and a hint of saltie here and there. Damn good pie.

This was our 2nd visit. I can't believe I forgot to review the 1st time. Let me start by saying we love it here. It's so simple, quiet, and delicious. The food is always fantastic, hot, fresh, and tasted amazing! Service is great also. The atmosphere is wonderful, just dark enough to relax, but there's enough light to see your amazing meal. Both visits I have indulged in the ribeye. Cannot complain at all. It's perfect every time! My wife has tried more things than I have. Once again, there are no complaints from her. This is our "fancy date" place.

My wife and I have visited this fine establishment several times. Tonight was exceptionally impressive. Darryl was absolutely great and the 14oz N.Y. Strip was the most flavorful N.Y. Strip I’ve had. More character at this small gem than the big box premium steakhouses.
