I had a wonderful birthday experience! A winter storm was brewing and not many restaurants were open. The food was great and drinks!

Dinner was delicious. Service was very good and the setting is a beautiful find in a neighborhood. Cozy inside with a deck that we would expect is quite nice in the spring.

BEST crab cakes EVER!! They have just the right amount of crisp on the outside AND not filled with a bunch of bread crumbs and such. Forgot our waiters name but he's from New Jersey and was very attentive and made some great recommendations for the entrées. Price point was a little high .

Great steakhouse experience in Lexington, located in a quiet neighborhood not far from downtown. Steaks done to near perfection with excellent accompaniment of sides. Medium rare tenderness with well marbled cuts of beef served by well informed and friendly staff. Small but exquisite selection of wines to complement the steaks, worth going back to on future trips.

My wife and I made some last minute plans to spend our anniversary in Lexington. There was a UK game going on and the city was busy. We were able to secure later dinners reservations at Blue Herron and I'm glad we did. You're smack dab in a neighborhood hood, so parking could be a challenge, but definitely a local vibe which we always seek out. Our server was attentive, joking and professional all at the same time. Our cocktails were delicious and the baked Brie was awesome. Steak for me and salmon for my wife. Both came out fresh tasting and cooked to our liking. A nice little piece of cheesecake made it to our table with wedding anniversary compliments from the house.

This place has a great chef. The crab cake special is to die for if you can get it. Very highly recommended.

First time at Blue Heron. Our waiter, Carlo was fantastic. We began with drinks. I had the Proper Old Fashioned and my wife had a Ketel One Dirty Martini. Both were great. The frog legs appetizer was cooked perfect. Plenty of frog legs for 2 people. For entrees I had a medium rare filet with baked potato and my wife had the pan seared salmon with asparagus. Both were delicious. Dessert was the cheesecake with a blueberry compote. One of the best cheesecakes I have ever had. We were in the side dining area and it felt more intimate than the main dining room.

First and foremost, The Blue Heron Steakhouse is locally owned and operated. It's been my experience that locally owned and operated is always a wonderful event. More inviting, great service, delicious meals/drinks and an overall "take care of the customer" attitude. The Blue Heron Steakhouse hit all of these marks. A very charming old home that's been renovated with original fireplace, and stately bar and seating area. The Loaded Baked Potato soup is an understatement. There was so much toppings you couldn't see the soup! (See pic). And what flavor. I'm so glad I took the servers recommendation on the "Commanders Fish of the Day" what a fabulous dish and a virtual taste bud explosion! Lol. And what 5 star review would be complete without mentioning what great service that was provided and well crafted cocktails they have.
