Herons at the Umstead is definitely an upscale dining experience. We went recently, and the service was phenomenal -- attentive and professional from start to finish. The quality of the food was excellent. The portions are on the smaller side, but every bite was delicious. The atmosphere is very fancy and refined. Overall, it's a classy spot that's great for a special occasion or when you're in the mood to treat yourself.

Excellent place for lunch . The dishes were quite amazing specially the ramen bowl. The dessert at the end was delicious and unique. The seasonal drinks are spectacular.

Best fine dining in the Triangle by FAR! Amazing service, and creative cuisine! Only slight knock is that it’s a little dated, but wouldn’t let that detract from enjoying the best culinary masterpiece in the triangle!

An amazing special occasion experience. The food was plated beautifully in small portions so that you can try several things. The bread is delicious but don't fill up on it so you can enjoy the creative courses to come.

My wife and I went for our 10 year anniversary. We did the chef's tasting menu. Every course was unique and delicious. Very well curated. Service and ambiance were both fantastic. It was expensive but worth the price.

Herons delivers flawless service, refined dishes, and a calm, luxurious atmosphere. It’s easily one of the best fine-dining experiences in the Triangle—expensive, but the execution justifies every bit of it.

Wow-this place has declined. Not the same allure as years past. Service was TERRIBLE, as in the worst of any restaurant I have been to. I really thought the waiter was trying his hardest to be rude and terrible. Took 30 minutes to get routine cocktails and no mention of the fact that it was taking a long time to get them, until I asked if we would be getting our cocktails. A server came by and asked “how is everything so far?” & all that we had been served was water. It was a big birthday for someone in my party and we left with them being disappointed and unsatisfied. I'm sad that this is not the upscale establishment that used to be held in high regard.

My favorite restaurant in North Carolina. Absolutely exquisite tasting menu, excellent service and delicious, unique wine. Wanted to try something new and I fell in love with a Mexican Baja Grenache. Michelin Guide should have given them 2 stars. I don’t know who they sent to taste but they were asleep at the wheel.
