The Heron's Cove Review

This is a regular port of call for locals, who know they can count on it for excellent dining free of formality. The casual, modest dining room has a splendid view of a secluded cove, while the menu focuses on local seafood, with selections for vegetarians and carnivores alike. Typical dishes include Heron's Cove crab cakes with wasabi mayonnaise, or Danmanus Bay scallops with smoked bacon cream sauce. The menu usually includes lobster in the summer. For dessert, indulge in the Russian cheesecake, the house specialty. The cellar of 50 to 60 international wines is open for browsing, and you can discuss the wines with other diners.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
