So we were hanging around Canada place and always wanted to try the restaurant with tall glass windows across from Canada place. Herons is a fine dining restaurant located inside Fairmont. The place looks beautiful from outside from the 20 foot tall glass windows facing the Burrard Inlet.
Regrettably, the view is recently partially blocked by the new convention center, but it was still quite nice. 
Shortly after orders, we were presented with the usual bread appetizers, but with an interesting “dip”. It was two types of homemade butter. The green one is a vegetable based butter which tasted cucumber/avacado’ish and the yellow is regular but really smooth butter.
I thought the portions were little on the small side (a given, but still a tad smaller than my expectation). I can tell that they certainly have spent more time preparing the dish compared to an average restaurant. I order the prawn and scallop risotto which I thought was decent but was not cheesy enough.
In regards to risotto, nothing beaten the wild mushroom three cheese risotto I had at The Cannery. In fact talking about it makes me want to go there soon, so I will be reviewing that once again.
