Patrons Opinion

"A hidden jewel in Pendleton! My husband, Jeff, and I love finding locally owned places to eat & drink that have exceptional service. The Blue Heron is now our go-to place to relax at the end of the day."

"The Blue Heron is our favorite restaurant. The food is expertly prepared and the dishes are fantastic. There is something delicious on the menu for everyone. Whether we're in the mood for steaks, fish, pasta, or sushi, the Blue Heron has our dish. Equally, or even more importantly, is the staff and atmosphere they create. Everyone is friendly and helpful, creating an atmosphere as inviting as their food. When you walk in the door, you can see everyone enjoying themselves and the mood is contagious. Because of this friendly, family atmosphere, we feel welcome and comfortable every visit. Our favorite evening consists of eating at the bar where we can enjoy the full menu as well as making new friends on each visit."

" The Blue Heron's Blackened Atlantic Salmon is perfection. It is complimented to a tee by the sauteed spinach and bed of cheese grits it rests upon. The only negative aspect about it is that it's addictive influence has caused me to miss out on other menu options. Every time I make the 88 mile drive from my home to the Blue Heron, the salmon is all I'm thinking about."
