Dining In
Our signature restaurant, Herons, will offer a modern American dining experience like no other in the region, reflecting both our setting in the agriculturally rich Triangle area of North Carolina and our location in this stunning new contemporary hotel. As a tribute to the finest North Carolina and Southern farmers and artisans, we’ll feature local, often organic ingredients, regional influences and time-honored Southern dishes. To complement our cuisine, we’ve carefully selected wines for our 2,500-bottle wine cellar, designed with the wine connoisseur in mind, and for pairing with our artful cuisine. Diners may choose from our à la carte menu, seasonal tasting menu, or select from exquisitely prepared spa dishes. Guests will enjoy our open kitchen, offset by cozy banquettes and a semi-private room for 8, or our exclusive Chef’s Table for 12. Outdoors, the 46-seat terrace flanked by a fireplace will offer breathtaking panoramic views of the 3-acre lake and surrounding gardens. Open daily for breakfast, lunch, dinner and Sunday Brunch.
