Fine dining inside The Umstead Hotel and Spa, Herons draws much of its menu from the property's own farm, which gives the kitchen a reason to be smug and the plates a reason to back it up. The chef holds a James Beard semifinalist nod and a Forbes Five Star, and the wine list runs deep enough to require a second read. AAA Five Diamonds. Dress accordingly.
