Brittany Pleasant: Amazing food, service, and people! And AMAZING rehearsal dinner location!A true hidden gem at the intersection of Ten Ten & Kildaire Farm Rd. Our family has been going to this restaurant for years now! Whenever we're not sure what we want to eat, but we're in the mood for something good, we always choose the Chef's Palette. Their menu always has some seasonal items as well as their most popular favorites. And do yourself a favor for an appetizer and get the Brie Bites!When we were looking for a place to host our wedding rehearsal dinner we contacted about 10 restaurants, including Chef's Palette. We were so pleased with the response times and the knowledge of hosting an event like this one so we booked with them nearly a year out! They kept good communication throughout the year and our rehearsal dinner was perfect! Everyone raved about the food and drinks! We're so glad we were able to share a place that we have loved for years with our out of town guests!We will continue to support this great restaurant, business and owners for years to come. We love everything about Chef's Palette!

Sherry Hill: I love this place. Been going for years. The last time, however, I went, I told them I was there for dinner and was taken to the bar area. My daughter and I were there for a nice dinner so I don't know why we were taken there. I asked to be moved to the dining area and was accommodated, but I'll be honest, it was a litlle offputting, especially to my daughter because she had never been there before.However, once seated, dinner was outstanding. We started with the brie bites. They were absolutely delicious. Our waiter was absolutely wonderful and accommodating. It's definitely a hidden gem.

Scott Crawford: Don't be fooled by the unassuming location of this hidden local gem. We've lived a few miles away for years and saw it in passing all the time, but never thought to check it out. Well, some of our friends recommended it to us, so now I'm passing on that good recommendation (and also quietly kicking myself for not trying it sooner!!).First of all, the entire staff is very welcoming and attentive, and the atmosphere is chill (love the chicken paintings and the music was excellent). Second, but really first, the FOOD!!! Holy cats, everything we had was absolutely delicious! The brie bites were out of this world, with 3 different saucing choices, they're like an elevated, light mozzarella stick, but SO much better! My wife had the pan-seared flounder and it literally meted on your mouth! I had the steak fries and the strip was cooked perfectly and the fries were crispy and delicious. Everything was so good, we pushed the envelope and got the key lime pie for dessert. Holy moly, it was a substantial slice and tasted absolutely heavenly.It was a great place to take my boo for an impromptu dinner date (I made the reservation online earlier in the day and it was super easy). We enjoyed the whole experience, our server David was awesome, and we will DEFINITELY be going back!10/10, totally recommend!

Andy G: I've been a Lucky 32 customer since the 1990s. My date & I decided to dine at L32 in Cary & afterwards watch the July 4th fireworks. Everything, & I mean everything, at the Cary Lucky 32 was either bad or mediocre. I began with the Strawberry Mule with double vodka. It was served in a small 5-oz rocks glass with a lot of ice ($17.50).Next, Fried Green Tomatoes, heavily battered, deep fried, & served with a clashing sweet sauce. Neither of us could taste the deeply-hidden green tomato slices. Neither my date nor I liked it, but ate some of it because we were hungry.We were seated beside a very noisy 6-top; everyone at the table laughed & talked loudly enough to be heard throughout the place. We asked & were moved about 30' away, still wasn't far enough but we lived with it.Entrees: I got the crab cakes ($29) with green beans & grits. The crab cakes & beans were served stone cold, no detectable warmth. My date got the black bean cakes, barely warm & were flavorless compared to what I'd previously had over the years. I sent the crab cakes back, didn't re-order because my date & I would've been dining separately, and by that time, I was disgusted & ready for our L32 experience to end.A manager came out & inquired of the problem. I explained, so she took the crab cakes off the bill and offered a comp dessert (Mix Berry Rhubarb Crumble) to go.When I got home, I found the comp dessert was uncooked & disassembled in 3 different containers: berry compote, crumble mixture, and melted ice cream.I put myself through college waiting tables at 3 high-end restaurants. Every restaurant trained that it's ALWAYS a waiter's responsibility to pick up the cooked food immediately & deliver it still hot--a big fail. I left ~ an undeserved 17% tip to the very sweet waitress. I will never dine there again. It's really gone downhill over the years, in every way.I do not recommend this restaurant. High prices / low quality & quantity.

Cedita Graves: Great ambience and service - however the food was just meh and served too quickly, as if it was prepackaged - fried chicken was not pan fried and had too much crust - the string beans were tastelessFood: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5 …More

Brooke Rawls: It was great and accommodating for my mil 80th bday. We used to go here about every other week for about 10yrs. Haven't been back since COVID-19 the menu is smaller and the fried chicken had no flavor but they comped it for us.Food: 4/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Cornmeal Crusted Catfish, Fried Green Tomatoes …More

Simeon Snow: Probably the best restaurant we've been to all year and we've been to a lot so far. Service was impeccable from the moment we walked in. Food was incredibly diverse and fresh. Lots of different flavor pallets to choose from. The cornbread and biscuits were full, flavorful, and fluffy. My breakfast plate (Southern Delight) was great temperature, flavor, seasoning, and texture. Ambiance was semi formal yet incredibly comfortable. Music volume was just right for giving privacy without impeding on conversation (I don't know why this balance is so hard for places these days). Parm truffle fries were amazing. My spouse loved their avocado toast. Great experience all around.

Kevin Seitz: Haven't been back to Lucky32 in a few years and decided to go for our anniversary. The waiter we started with just disappeared, and then the food came out. The chicken wasn't even cooked all the way through. I showed the second waiter who came by and so he took it back and the manager brought back the new one. She asked, is this one done to your liking and wanted me to cut it and take a bite. I wanted to say, yes this one is cooked. No sorry or apology or anything. She just disappeared like the waiter. The second waiter never came back until I stopped him. Bummed that it changed or maybe the service changed. Fried green zucchini was amazing. The only consistent thing.

John Hall: Food was outstanding.

Jazzy Crawn: My family and I went there a few weeks back and had Frank as our waiter, I do have to say he provided the best service ever!Food: 5/5|Service: 5/5|Atmosphere: 5/5Recommended dishes Jambalaya L32 Style …More

Cathy Martin: I am disappointed since food is always good. On Sunday, I ordered the black bean cakes w side salad and Arnold palmer tea. The black bean cakes and green beans were overcooked. Our lovely waitress did put on order ticket that I did not want the sides it comes with (grits, corn, and sour cream), however the cook staff ignored that. The 6 Oz glass of ice w tea for $3 is ridiculous. Eating out has become overpriced. Sorry to say Lucky 32 has been a staple in Cary but I won't be going anymore.

Gwendela “Gwen” McCorkle: What happened to the hours you used to be open. You are literally only open 5 to 8:30 on most days? How do you make enough to even stay open?

Leah Blalock: At the bar & lounge sitting outside the Herron restaurant with beautiful and smiling Kiera as my bar hostess. She made the best martini, guided me to the perfect buttery Chardonnay and I had a delightful lunch of steak carpaccio. I never made it into the restaurant but there was no need today. The perfect lunch with top notch service.

Joseph Hsu: Herons stands out as an experience. Not only is the food amazing, it is creative and adventurous. If you’re looking for new dishes that don’t have names yet, this is the place in the Triangle.Service is world class. Everything is coordinated and every serving staff is top notch professional. From the moment you sat down to getting served water to food to dessert, it is the definition of service.We got the $150 tasting menu and it did not disappoint even with the highest expectations. The two of us got to choose 8 different dishes for our 4 courses and we got to sample a wide variety of products, tastes, textures and even temperatures. Highly recommend for any food lovers.Parking: Got valet. Didn’t wait for more than 30 seconds both ways. Great service.

C_R_E_A_M Dollar Dollar Bill Yall: Wow wow and wow. I celebrated my 39th birthday with dinner at Herons and all I can say is WOW. I was a little saddened by the rain today and had to switch my outfit, but the rain let up and I was still able to wear heels. I arrived early to check out the property and snap a few photos. What a lovely property. The atmosphere is out of this world, the closest sanctuary I have ever experienced. The service was equally amazing. I’m accustomed to a knowledgeable server, however; there was a rotation of equally pleasant and knowledgeable servers to present my 4 course dinner and multiple house madebreads/butters and other additions added to my meal as a birthday token. Oh…. The warm lightly scented hand towel to cleanse my hands prior to my meal was indeed pleasant as well. I was so delighted with this experience. I was unable to book the spa massage as they are booked out until July, but I am really happy. I look forward to returning in July for my massage.Unika B. & Co.

Ares Hernandez: I recently had the pleasure of dining at Herons in Cary, North Carolina, and I have to say that it is hands down my favorite fine dining restaurant in the Raleigh-Durham area. As someone who has moved from San Diego where fine dining is abundant, I was skeptical about finding a restaurant that met my high expectations, but Herons blew me away.The food was absolutely incredible. Every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The chef's curated menu was a perfect showcase of the restaurant's talent and creativity. Each course was expertly crafted and paired with the perfect wine, making for a truly unforgettable dining experience.What really impressed me about Herons was the attention to detail. From the presentation of the dishes to the service provided by the waitstaff, everything was flawless. The staff was attentive and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and answering any questions we had.The ambiance of the restaurant was also impeccable. The decor was modern and sophisticated, with a warm and inviting atmosphere that made for a comfortable and relaxing evening.Overall, I highly recommend Herons to anyone looking for an exceptional fine dining experience. The food is simply exquisite and the service is top-notch. It's clear that the restaurant takes great pride in its offerings and goes above and beyond to ensure every guest leaves feeling satisfied and pampered. I'm so grateful to have found this gem and can't wait to return.

Julio Fernandez: My wife and I had a great experience here. This was our first time and we plan on coming back. Every staff member was great, especially Mike, our main server. They all greeted upon arrival. Mike provided us with recommendations for each of the courses. He was very friendly and had a conversation with us. We had the 4 course meal for dinner but I am not sure if there is any other alternative. The portions weee just the right size and we were definitely full when we left. All the food tasted great and seasoned properly. I would definitely recommend and will be back. I would love to try each of their seasonal dishes as their menu changes seasonally.
