| - I absolutely loved finally getting to The Herb Box, after seeing it so many times of going to ArtBridge Thursdays in the Fall. Four of us went, for an anniversary dinner. Looking forward to it for days, and it was well worth going. As said by others, the ambiance is beautiful... a perfect compliment for Scottsdale weather and surroundings.
We chose early dinner service on a Saturday, happily avoiding rushes or crowds. The background music was just right too. In 115 degrees, we only ever consider Inside seating! So, we were very comfortable, especially with the chairs being wide and nicely cushioned.
Our service was good... very very good when he was at our table. A few times, he was not around, so we had to ask another server for an extra aioli for the fingerlings, for extra napkins and waited a bit for refills on the raspberry hibiscus iced tea (a really nice tea). We do not recall the server asking if we wanted refills on the two alcohol beverages. The water service was on top of things though.
The server was very helpful with letting us know all about the menu... very very helpful with it being our first time. Every time he was at our table, he was so nice and helpful.
At our table, we had:
Fingerling Potatoes with aioli--- Perfectly cooked... But, it was the first sign that I, personally, needed to ask the server to bring salt to the table. (I always taste my food before adding salt... always hoping I don't need to.)
Cilantro-jalapeno edamame hummus, with grilled naan--- Very tasty!
Butternut Squash Corn Enchiladas--- Good, would like to try something else next time, the server really really pushed it.
Portobello manchego 'burger'--- Delicious
Coffee molasses glazed grilled pork chop--- Good but for about $24, it should have been more than 1 pork chop, coleslaw and two thin slices of sweet potato.
Thai BBQ Baby Back Ribs--- Delicious especially the BBQ sauce on the ribs... it went well with the green apple slaw slices... the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese was very very light on the cheese and thank goodness for the panko, that made it worth eating... otherwise, I kinda kept looking for some aspect of it looking cheesy... it did have a thin cheese sauce,(and it makes sense that this restaurant does work hard at healthier options... so no blame to them.) I added salt, so that made it better, too.
We all shared a dessert of Tres Leches cake with strawberries. Very nice and they did make it seem like a lighter option. A tasty ending.
All in all, very happy with going to The Herb Box... It seems picky to point out the details, but that's where the difference is between Great and WOW I CAN'T WAIT to go back. This was a very very nice experience, wondering what it would be like to go again. Oh, yes, it was SUPER GREAT to have such GREAT choices for our vegetarian friends. That's a huge reason why we picked going there.
