A Stellar New Addition to Michigan City’s Dining Scene!

Wow—what an incredible surprise! My friend and I stumbled upon Heron Bistro last night, and it instantly became a new favorite. From the moment we stepped in, we were struck by the ambiance: dark, moody, and romantic, with vintage light fixtures lining the bar, a breathtaking beach glass installation at the back, and captivating murals throughout the space.

The food? Absolutely divine. I regret not snapping a photo of the presentation—it was as beautiful as it was delicious. Each small plate was thoughtfully crafted, and the Spanish Rioja we chose paired flawlessly, elevating the entire experience. The creme brulee melted in our mouths and was the perfect finish to a scrumptious meal.

A special shout-out to our server, Miranda, who was warm, attentive, and made us feel completely at home. Her thoughtful recommendations and friendly demeanor added so much to the evening.

We’ll definitely be...

My sister, my mom, and I had a fantastic experience at The Heron Bistro. Miranda, our server, was exceptional. She was very attentive and friendly. The cocktails were perfect, the bread service delicious , and all of our entrees were great.

The Bernaise sauce was done perfectly for the steak frites. I had the market fish, which was fish and chips. It was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The crème brûlée was a wonderful end to our meal. We highly, highly recommend The Heron Bistro. It is an excellent addition to Michigan City’s...
