BLUE HERON INN

[ dinner ] [ appetizer ]

"Pull into the driveway and head down to the water's edge, where the Blue Heron fills the lower level of a family house, This contemporary dining room is adorned with bright floral tablecloths, fresh flower arrangements, and heron-inspired artwork. Luminous little lamps at every table and a fire burning in the large stone fireplace impart a soft golden glow throughout. A wall of windows faces the glassy waters of Porpoise Bay, and almost every table shares the magnificent vista.

The house specially is seafood, and unless you catch it yourself, seafood doesn't get much fresher that this. Start with one of the wonderfully creative appetizers, such as artichoke hearts filled and baked with shrimp, crab, and Parmesan cheese, or Samba prawns sautéed in a garlic cream-Samba sauce. As a main course, we recommend the broiled halibut fillet topped with red onion and strawberry salsa, or the bouillabaisse with fresh fish, scallops, crab, and prawns, served in a lobster bisque."
