| - The Herb Box always seemed like a place I should love, it had all the elements of a restaurant I'd love. I've been there for lunch a handful of times and it was always a nice lunch, but that was all it was... nice.
I recently came across their brunch menu and it looked so good I wanted to try again. I had brunch there Sunday and really enjoyed it. First, I've always liked the decor and atmosphere at the DC Ranch location. We sat outside cooled by their large umbrellas and misters.
We ordered the Strawberry Lassi: blended plain yogurt, fresh strawberries, and ice- not quite like the lassis I've had at Indian restaurants, but like a very good not-too-sweet smoothie.
Market Street BLT: Grilled bread with an over-easy egg (mine came out over medium, but I was fine with that), crisp pancetta (better than bacon in my opinion), arugula, and tomato. It was a very good sandwich.
Urban Market Steak Salad. Great steak and a good combo of salad toppings: red peppers, corn, avocado, candied pecans, and gorgonzola.
Some of the other brunch menu items looked great, so I think I'll be going back for breakfast/bruch with a new sense of appreciation for the Herb Box.
