“In the southern wild, the Great Blue Heron is a symbol of safe harbor. Herons are only staying still in places they know are safe. The last few years for me have been a journey. Changes in life. Changes in business. Yet, something about this place felt right. Heron is my nod to this next chapter. A place to land—for myself, and for the ones who grace our doors.”
Heron will feature coastal seafood, high-end beef, seasonal local harvests, and inventive global flavor combos. The restaurant will also feature wine and cocktails. He encourages people to come experience “an unforgettable night at our table.”
