Blue Heron is a must try if you're in the Cold Spring area. The food is absolutely delicious, the service was impeccable, and the vibe is really cool. They have a bar area that is a bit less formal, and then the dinner area that has a really nice old school feel to it. Get the salad bar as well!

Great food! Quick service! We tried this place on a whim and were totally impressed! The salad bar is huge and full of variety! Very good food!

Beautiful evening for dinner on the patio. They also have dinning-room and lounge seating. The food was good to average. I would suggest not ordering the Fish & Chips basket and go for the walleye fillet instead. Prices represented dinner club prices. We'd come back again giventhere's not a lot of supper club choices in the area and it's good to support local.

For the price of a upscale restaurant steak its only bar quality food. I had the sirloin steak (medium rare) and it came out looking like grey/brownish shoe leather. While it's internal temp was correct it was totally unappealing. I suspect the grill wasn't hot enough... the spinach dip side we ordered was served with corn chips and what looked like a quartered tortilla but was tasty.All in all if you're looking for aa beer and a burger this would be ok. If you're looking for a somewhat upscale meal then there are other places that are better.

Get off of your high horses, remember you are out on the middle of no place. I live in neighborhood that has more people in it than this whole town.No, they don't have valet parking. No the silver wear isn't expensive. No the selection of beer isn't the greatest. Let's talk FOOD. The fried haddock was wonderful and my wife says so was the grilled. Fresh rolls and great "small town" service from Jane. All in all a wonderful meal I didn't have to cook.

My family comes to visit this area every year and in the past, we always looked forward to eating here. That has changed and we most likely wont be coming back. This restaurant has gone downhill significantly and has become severely disorganized. It took forever just to get our menus once we were seated. We had ordered and received our drink menus before my dad got frustrated and finally went and found menus himself. The worst part was that the waitress didn't even seem to care. The food was super expensive, especially for the service and quality that you received. I honestly know that I could go to Chick Fil A and be treated better and have better food for a lot less money than here. I had chicken that was 15 dollars and it was just a very small piece breaded chicken with a little bit of alfredo sauce on it. I asked for cheese on my baked potato and they brought me out nacho cheese... I am not sure how the quality dropped so quickly. The "fresh baked rolls" weren't that. It was obvious that they came from the fridge because they were cold, not room temperature, but cold.If you want overpriced food, a chaotic atmosphere, rude and inattentive waitresses, this is the spot for you.

The "Meh" classification afforded by the two-star rating pretty much sums up "the Blue."I grew up in Cold Spring and always held the establishment in pretty high esteem as go-to special occasion fancy establishment. As a grown-up, I can confidently say that was wholly unjustified.Lackluster, greasy food, average to crummy service, and truly unimpressive ambiance. With a bar set at "Better Than Good," I suppose they manage to clear it.While I have been tepid on the place for some years now, my last visit really put a fine point on my opinion that the place sucks. Fresh from a flight and uninterested in the Thursday Night All-You-Can-Eat Pasta Bar, I opted for the salad bar for a hefty $10.95. I cannot believe the iceberg lettuce and mealy tomatoes really cost the owners anywhere near that amount. While I would have just chalked this up as garden-variety disappointment, it was hard to ignore the entire long island ice tea spilled on my husband and still charged on the tab. Truth of the matter is I'll probably find myself there again, but I refuse to believe that being the only restaurant in an town should make it "fine" dining.

Hey Mom, want some mashed potatoes with those scrambled eggs?Mothers Day Brunch consisted of half of the usual salad bar (no soup, a few empty trays were covered in foil). Moved on the to the main buffet:Trays of pancakes, syrup, scrambled eggs, mashed potatoes, gravy, stuffing - one piece of chicken remained, out of roast beef, and a sliver of ham left. For dessert, a side table with some slices of cake, served up on classy styrofoam plates with spatters of generic reddi-whip all over from customers trying to get the last bit out of the cans?Services was attentive enough, given they had nothing else to do.I love the 5 star survey given that essentially compares it against TV dinners for that rating.

The food was pretty good, but there was no dish that stood out. It is an old time supper club with salad bar and tablecloth settings. It is kind of old reliable but do not go here looking for haute cuisine.

My husband & I dined here last night & as usual our meals were expertly prepared & tasted wonderful. We hadn't been here for a couple of years but we always enjoy it. This place is a crown jewel of eateries in the Cold Spring area.
