    We were so disappointed with our experience. Our reservation was for 7:30. We were sat around 8:00. We were perfectly fine with the additional wait. We sat at our table for 30 minutes without any server. We asked passing servers two different times if they knew who our server was. Each time they stated they would go check. After 30 additional minutes a gentleman took our drink order. He then went straight to take the order of a large group. He then returned to take our entree order. Our drink order was never placed. We were at the restaurant for over an hour without a drink or any service. We then decided to leave because it was nearing 9:00. Our reservation was for 7:30. We spoke to the manager upon leaving.

    Unprepared for the number of people in the restaurant. Staff overwhelmed, supper nice and accommodating. Seated 1 hour past reservation time. Some food at the table came out 30 minutes before everyone had food. Must do better.

    Service tonight was not good. Initial drink order (2 beers & 1 glass of tepid white wine) took 15 minutes. Food was good when it finally arrived.

    Blue Heron is truly a gem nestled in Pendleton, SC. The atmosphere is very welcoming, the staff attentive to the parties' needs, and the menu has something for everyone. Choosing Blue Heron to celebrate my birthday with friends and family was a wonderful for choice and I will be returning!

    Very good food with a wonderful selection of sushi and traditional American style entrees. Blackened salmon was very good choice. Service was good. On the downside, restaurant is very noisy so it is difficult to hear dining companions or servers.

    Food was good. Service was slow. Daughter ordered lobster bisque soup and half salad as her meal. She asked for both of them to come out at the same time. The salad came out first and after 45 minutes and asking numerous times for the soup we finally canceled the soup order. Soup! That should be already made in a pot. Just scoop it in the bowl. No real apologies were made. They just said, oh I’ll let the kitchen know you don’t want your soup anymore. That was ridiculous. The food was good but sadly because of the service, I don’t think we will go back. And just for perspective, the restaurant was not overly crowded, our waitress had someone training with her, so there was an additional person to help, and someone else on the table ordered French onion soup and received it.
