Love the food! Some times the service is not good, but I think they do not have many servers and it can get rlly packed. My husband and I frequent this place and it can be either kinda slow or slammed and you never rlly know. I prefer the casual side as it is a little more of a chill vibe. But, the reservation side is decent as well.
Lana was our server and did a great job being our advocate in the kitchen and bar. Our drinks were delayed and the food came out a bit staggered, but she made sure we got what we wanted The food is OUTSTANDING, and very generous portions. Ask for Lana and you will have an amazing experience
This is my favorite restaurant due to the filet mignon. It is served with the perfect pairings. However, every time I visit there is a problem to some extent. The service is terrible and you should expect to be there for a while. It took me 35 minutes sitting at a table before I met my waitress. It is a nicer restaurant but the service does not align with the quality of environment and food they serve.
Friends took us here, it's a lovely spot with 2 dining levels. Our server was very helpful. The food was great and the interior was charming.
Heard good things about this restaurant and the menu seemed interesting. When I made the reservation I didn't realize there is a casual bar side and a more formal restaurant side. Our reservations were in the restaurant side. I was wearing jeans and I felt comfortable. There were people there who were dressed up. We had a group of five. The food was delicious and the service was excellent. Definitely is now one of my favorite places to eat in Pendleton.
Husband and I decided to have date night at Blue Heron. We did not have a reservation but went in right at opening. Hostess said they were fully booked for the evening but had space for us coming in so early. Warm bread was good but the butter made it better. We opted for the scallops and crab cakes for apps. They were okay but not memorable. The star of the evening was the pork chop. Super flavorful and presentation was great.
The service was excellent. We were on the informal Side of the restaurant and they have a reservation only side of the restaurant. Rustic ambiance with sports tv on the wall in side of restaurant. A large wine, beer and drink menu! I had the seafood pasta which you can choose white or red sauce. I chose traditional red sauce which was very flavorful and had mild spices. It had clams mussels, scallops and shrimp with angel hair pasta. It was amazing. All the shellfish was cooked perfectly. The plus was NO SAND in the shellfish!!! Topped with fresh Parmesan. My husband had the stroganoff made with premium ground beef and fettuccini type noodles in a brown sauce. He loved the flavors. The stroganoff was topped with feta cheese which gave the meal just enough saltiness! Dessert was crème brûlée that was served at room temperature which I prefer with a nice crisp top and a strawberry. I had the brown sugar bourbon pecan cheesecake that was enough for two. Large slice! The food is high end, prices are above average but the food is worth every dollar! They also serve sushi rolls as a dinner. Great for a special occasion or date night! Going back for anniversary celebration! Bon apitito!
