After having 3 separate people tell me that Herbs & Rye was the place to go, I had to check it out for myself. All of my friends recommended making reservations... I definitely recommend this as well!! I made my reservations for 6 and they called day of to confirm and ask if we were celebrating anything. My friends had just gotten married so I let Kimberly know. She was so sweet and excited for us to celebrate there!!
First thing: parking is awful. Tiny parking lot and at dinner time, it was full (and then some). Checked in with the hostess and a few minutes later we were seated. I was surprised at how spacious the dining areas are...it didn't look that big from the outside. But even with all the space, the entire place was PACKED. We were seated by the bar in the back corner.
The food... oh goodness! The food!! So tasty!! I ordered a filet (medium rare with the blue cheese topping) and truffle Mac & Cheese. That Mac & Cheese was amazing. For me, I couldn't finish it, but I really wanted to! The steak was perfectly done and the blue cheese crumble was a great added touch. Others in the group got ribeye, mussels, whiskey potatoes... everything was amazing.
To celebrate the wedding, our server brought out some of their delicious donuts. SO TASTY!
I will certainly be returning. I had a great experience and the food was amazing. I would warn that it is LOUD as well as pretty dark, so keep those things in mind.
