The Herbfarm

"The best service and such a fun experience! The food can be a bit on the "eccentric" side because they make items from what is growing locally during the season you are dining, but in my opinion that's what makes the experience so exciting and special! It's pricey but worth the splurge! I'll definitely be back!"

"Had a great time here. It’s not cheap but there is also nothing really like it. Upon arriving they asked for our last name and without a computer or notes, multiple members of the staff knew it was our anniversary, so they clearly study up and prepare greatly for each dinner. We were seated at a European style table, which is just a large communal table, and it was very enjoyable getting to chat with the other diners. The food was amazing and very well done. There were many ingredients that I am sure I had for the first time, especially in the combinations they served… it was the last day of the late summer menu and I am glad we got to enjoy it. For a special anniversary or just to at least try it once, I highly recommend this restaurant!"

"My brother came up to visit his grandnieces and we went up to Seattle to join the family reunion. He heard about this place and invited the grown-ups to dinner. He is the wine connesuer (how do you spell that?) of the family as well as the gourmet and this was a free meal, so the wife and I were in with both feet. The restaurant is an unobtrusive place that shares the parking lot with a hotel. There are about 20 tables in the place and there is only one seating. The vibe is definitely French Laundry if you have visited this place in Yountville, CA. Come to think of it, we were there with my brother, too. Back to the Herbfarm. Before the food, the whole team came to be introduced by the boss. He then described the various courses of the meal. Each course was very good but, whenever I go to such high-falutin' places, I always wonder how am I going to get full on such small portions. Once again, I learned how that is done. Each course is served at the right time with enough waitstaff to serve the whole table at once. Although small, each course built upon the previous ones to end up leaving me full. While all the courses were good, the standout in my opinion was the sweet corn soup. There was some sort of pureed crab in the bottom of the cup but it was barely discernable (says a guy who dislikes any seafood if it isn't clam chowder - either variety). I could have stopped the meal there and cleaned the pot. However there were more courses to come. All in all, we all enjoyed the meal, the service and the whole package. I do not think you should bring the kids-the wine pairings might not be to their liking-but the adults will be fine. I cannot comment on the price, the brother picked up the tab. But it wasn't cheap. Save it for that big promotion or the kid's 21st. Enjoy!"

"We loved our experience here so much!! Definitely on the pricey side, so it is best saved for a special occasion. Food...amazing Drink pairings...interesting (in a good way) Atmosphere and staff are incredible. I recommend having some fun and sitting at a communal table. The conversation flows smoothly, even for this introvert, once the meal begins and drinks start flowing."

"We celebrated our anniversary here and had a fantastic experience from start to finish! We arrived about 30 min early and were given a tour of the gardens and walked around the building. The decor was just beautiful. The 9 course meal was delicious and the wines they served went perfectly with the food. Huge shoutout to the staff who made our night extra special."
