I get to Scottsdale a couple of times a year, so I've been lucky enough to hit the Herb Box a couple of times since it opened in downtown Scottsdale.
My first visit was for brunch..I had the famous red velvet pancakes. Oh laaarwd...honey. Those pancakes are a religious experience. I don't remember what else we ordered because the pancakes were stupid-good. As if it wasn't enough, I had a couple of mimosas too. I'd say it was um....better than...most breakfasts I've had.
The second time was a laaazy lunch with a girlfriend. We each has a flatbread she Brussel sprout and pancetta on the recommendation of our server, I had pear and gorgonzola. Let me begin by saying that pear and gorgonzola is one of my favorite flavor combinations..and brussel sprouts, decidedly not. BUT, here, the sprouts are grilled and that pancetta is that salty goodness. OHHHHHHHH-MY. That flatbreat blew my pear and gorgonzola out of the water.
We also had a couple of drinks off their drink menu, I had a cucumber water-mint number with vodka that was perfectly refreshing for a summer day in Scottsdale. My girlfriend had a raspberry mojioto (if I remember correctly) and it was pretty fabulous as well. Don't tell anyone..but we didn't stop at one.
Out server was a pro. She has us at "go". She was funny and attentive and patient with our endless requests for more water and limes. I can not NOT for the life of me remember her..but she was fantastic and a pro.
If you go, get those red velvet pancakes..and listen when your server makes a recommendation..they know their stuff there.
