| - The Herb Box provided us one of the best restaurant experiences we've had in a very long time. The Herb Box on Pima in DC Market Ranch is really beautiful, warm and comfortable. It has a smaller deli kind of section, a larger dining room and outdoor patio area. We sat outside under the heaters and were treated to a great experience.
First, our waiter was really great. He had a great personality, was very attentive, and had lots of great recommendations for us. I started with a blackberry mojito- it had a very distinctive and strong flavor, but I liked it quite a bit. I am not a big fan of mint but found that the blackberry mellowed the mint. It went down easy!
Hubby got the steak and gorgonzola salad, and listened to him talk about how great it was with every bite! I also got to try the trout which was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I ordered some appetizers for my dinner including the brown sugar and jerk pulled pork sliders, cheesed stuffed fried olives and the falafel plate. I enjoyed all of it, seriously I ate until I couldn't anymore. The fried olive were frickin incredible, I've never had anything like them. The green olives were a bit tart and full of rich creamy cheese, and finished off with a light crunchy fried batter.
I am totally thrilled with this place, it is one of my new faves and will be added to the regular rotation.
