Herb Box is good, not knock your socks off good, but definitely satisfies and I love that it is local and semi-healthy (depending on what you order).
The food itself would have been 4 stars, but I knocked down half a star for the service and half a star for the price (too expensive for what you get).
I went with a party of 3 at 4:15, so it was an awkward time but I still expect to be served well, especially since it was't so busy. There seemed to be a lot of staff walking around, but for some reason there was only one waiter serving the entire inside of the restaurant (about 4 other parties). So, we flagged down another waitress and she took our order and sent it to the kitchen, which was nice.
We ordered the mac & cheese, the korean cauliflower, the market salad, beef short rib enchiladas, and the corn and goat cheese flat bread. My sister got a green flash beer, also.
The entrees were all great! I would have preferred if my chicken was cut up and tossed into my salad instead of having huge chunks on top, but it was moist and well seasoned. I appreciate the fact that they respected my wishes for EXTREMELY light dressing on my salad--overdressed salads are disgusting.The flat bread was great, and my sister said the enchiladas were also good.
I didn't particularly care for the mac & cheese. The portion was pretty small, the noodles were a little over cooked, and it wasn't the cheesy. The cauliflower, however, was spectacular! Need to learn how to make that at home.
I love the ambiance of the herb box! The decor is very modern-anthropologie-ish and the bathrooms are gorgeous. I noticed that theres a large room in the back for parties, also. Their outdoor seating looked nice too, but it was too cold the day I went.
Overall, a great spot! I would love to come here for breakfast or brunch. I'm sure the service is usually better, but the prices are definitely a little steep.
