Blue Heron Tavern

A wonderful experience at such a special place. Cannot say enough nice things. The cocktail menu is incredibly fitting and impressive but their whiskey collection is just as fun to travel through. The people behind making this place run are making it breathe hospitality with spirit. I cannot wait to visit again to discover more. Thank you for a memorable night.

We have been to the Blue Heron Tavern 9 times and we have had fabulous meals each time. The overall experience is serene and tranquil as you overlook the lake. Certainly this is not an inexpensive evening, however the food, service, cocktails, and hospitality are well worth it.

This past weekend, Saturday night, was another meal to remember. We started off with a Peach Aperol Paloma and La Beaume cocktails expertly prepared. For starters we ordered the ‘Burrata and Grilled Peaches’ (Over arugula with sliced almonds, prosciutto, and honey garlic vinaigrette) and the Fried Calamari (I do not have the full description - but soft & tender!). Two glasses of well priced and delicious wine; and for our entrees: ‘Black Peppercorn Crusted Elk Tenderloin’ (Foie gras truffle whipped potato, snap peas, topped with fried onions, whole grain mustard cream), ‘Pan Roasted Herb Crusted Berkshire Pork Chop’ (Over roasted potatoes, zucchini, and squash, topped with apricot chutney and pickled red onion) and ‘Seared Scallops’ (Fingerling potato crab hash, asparagus, lemon beurre blanc and pomegranate glaze). For dessert we had an espresso martini, chocolate martini and a cup of coffee.

I can not remember the last time we had such a spectacular culinary experience.

Do yourself a favor, make reservations and experience this hidden gem in Sussex County.

Nice little gem here off the beaten path. Tucked away and bordering the lake The Blue Heron tavern is well worth the trip. From the moment you walk in, your hit with a feeling of nostalgia, ol school vibes. The menu on the other hand is fresh and inviting. The food is thoughtfully prepared and delicious. Great place for date night, family dinner or simply eating solo at the bar.

We had a great 1st time experience at the Tavern last night. We started with a round of expertly prepared and presented cocktails (mine was a whisky sour special). Round of appetizers, salads & soups enjoyed by all. The gumbo was very smooth, and full flavored without being overly seasoned, my husbands mushroom soup also looked very good. For entrees My husband had the elk med/rare it was beautifully presented, mine was the bone in pork chop with batter fried artichoke heart, the salmon also looked well prepared and everyone in our party of 4 savored every bite. Others at our table who have eaten at the tavern several times said they had never been disappointed. We will definitely be back and look forward to enjoying the beautiful view in the warmer weather
