We found Heron to be underwhelming, the food was mostly underseasoned or just lacking flavour or balance. The menu is unstructured which is fine for a gimmick but you're left wondering with no real guidance on how much to order. Plating was attractive but that is where it ended. The desserts were the best bit but the atmosphere downstairs is not good at all - I wouldn't book or recommend here as the food was lackluster and again you may end up being sat downstairs. We were right by where the servers bar was and it was distracting having water pails filled up right by our heads and staff constantly chatting next to us (this is fine, its part of work - but there just shouldn't be a table right there, close this bit off to a servers area and not the public). Overall we found the experience underwhelming and uncomfortable. I have given 4 stars as the prices were reasonable and it may be a fault of alternative better experiences making this one so disappointing but anyone who has read this far is unlikely to be someone who would like to continually visit venues such as this. Would not recommend or return.

Spent a week in IOW in the summer of 2022 and couldn’t for the life of me get good food - that is until the last night where I had the best meal I’ve come across in Britain thus far.Local produce and brilliant cooking, can not wait to visit again.Exceptional. Almost a year on and still reminiscing.

We had the 7-course meal; service was excellent. Food was good but not quite at the level of 5 stars. If I visit IoW again, I might visit again but I would order from the menu.

Cannot describe this experience in words. The staff was beyond amazing, attention to detail was great. The food was something I had never experienced before. Even though I opted for a vegetarian tasting course the chef didn't disappoint. I was actually even more impressed how the chef could include so many different flavours in vegetarian dishes as I had never experienced this before. Once again would highly recommend to any one who is looking for a wonderful experience.

Exquisite meals whenever we treat ourselves to Alex's delightful place, here in Ryde where there are so many places to eat . Spend the extra ££ and really know its specially made for you by the team.(-:

Absolutely stunning. Amazing food and actually compared to similar truly fancy chef led places I have been to this was actually very reasonable. After we put 13% service on for a starter, main and shared side dishes and a liqueur coffee each was about £43. Please book. Alex the Chef is wonderful and very friendly and the staff were magic

What a great place to find. I had the tasting menu and was a great choice to sample as much as possible. Staff made me feel really welcome. Loved watching the open kitchen.Thank you for a great evening.

Scanning the menu, everything looked amazing and we struggled to decide, so we ended up going for the 7 course blind tasting menu plus wine pairing. The chef and sommelier picked courses for us, so each course was a surprise. Wine arrive first, which gave a clue what the course might be.Incredibly good value. If you know even a little bit about cooking, you understand how much work and love that has gone into every single dish. Innovative food and everything was perfection. Love that much of ingredients was sourced locally.I have coeliac disease and need to be on a strict gluten free diet. Gluten free items was marked in the menu, but the kitchen also made extra effort to avoid any cross contamination. It was a real treat to enjoy this feast without worrying.Professional and friendly service and we received everything like clockwork. Not sure how they managed to time everything so well.Can’t wait to come back!
