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.

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

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.

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

I will preface this with saying that I have every mixed feelings on what rating to leave here since the food quality and service/ambiance are on opposing ends. I'll share about both. We unfortunately had our hopes up for getting an amazing steak dinner by trying the porterhouse for two for the first time. Sadly it did not live up to expectations and even after remaking our dinner it wasn't much better than the first round. There were four of us and we ordered two separate porterhouse for two dishes. After two rounds of steaks and sides, it was just disappointing in terms of dinner. Four steaks in all and they barely had any seasoning and were all more fatty and tough than they should have been. The sides as well as the steaks in the first round were all lukewarm and not very flavorful. I really wanted to love this meal but just didn't and our whole party had the same feelings. The crab cake appetizer was the only highlight and it was delicious. Despite our disappointment in the food, the service was wonderful. Our server was amazing and was on top of things in trying to ensure we got the best meal possible. The manager was also extremely apologetic and welcoming to us. We really think the service and ambiance were stellar. They handled everything so well and we are so grateful for wonderful service and a nice recovery from the food experience. We just don't recommend the porterhouse for two but the restaurant is still a fantastic spot and hopefully some other dishes would stand out if we return.

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.

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.

I once bragged about this place. I even shared this picture all over social media saying this was among the best steaks I've ever had (real pic Circa 2022).But tonight, the only thing worse than the two grey, medium-well porterhouses they delivered to my table ($120 each), was the manager who tried to blame it on me (saying I ordered medium-rare, when I should have ordered charred rare).My server was embarrassed and tried to fix it, but the manager insisted that my medium-well steak was actually a perfect medium-rare and that I was to blame. Trust me. Stay away from this place. Tim Miller - circa November 2024.

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 .
