    Curry
    Christian D.

    My wife and I came here for a quick lunch while exploring Lopez Island. The staff was very nice and helpful, and the food was freshly made when we ordered it. I ordered the curry and it was hot, delicious and complex, exactly what was needed after a long morning of hiking in the cold. My wife ordered a vegetarian wrap with peanut sauce and she loved the freshness of the salad and the serving size. The food was light enough to keep us going for the rest of the day. The seating area can be limited on cold days, but overall it is a nice place to eat and warm up.

    Blue Heron Bistro has wonderful service, great food and a comfortable atmosphere. We were excited…read moreto start off with oysters from Orcas Island just across the sound. They were delicious and huge in flavor with the fresh mignonette. The Dungeness crab mac and cheese is next level; the homemade pasta shells and cheese sauce are so good and they give you a lot of crab. The kitchen truly seems to be invested in their work (thank you for the extra oyster!). Blue Heron Bistro is a great spot and there desert case is beautiful.

    Swung in here after a long morning of driving and hiking around Lopez Island…read more Greet by the friendly waitress. This time of year it's very slow on Lopez so we had the restaurant to ourselves. It's deceivingly large on the inside and plenty of outside sitting. Today was an inside kind of day. We ordered and enjoyed some cocktails before eating. We shared a clam chowder and a bacon jelly burger. Both very good and satisfying. We also spent a good time talking to Jerry who cooked our meal but I'm assuming is the owner. What a pleasant person. Enjoyed the conversation immensely. We ordered some desserts to have back at our hotel. Oh did I mention the desserts are made from scratch by them. We got a slice of carrot cake and a slice of berry pie. Definitely a must stop place if you're on Lopez Island.
