This was my second trip to Hotel Herman. My daughter likes the place a lot more than I do. I think it kind of tries too hard. On the plus side, they focus on seasonal dishes. I do like the ambiance and cocktails (loved the Old Fashion), but the plates are pricey for what you get. We had the Brussels sprouts which were too heavy with the hollandaise sauce; the Kohlrabi that had a nice crunch and tanginess; trout; and lobster--my favorite. We started with a dozen oysters which were amazingly fresh. We sat at the bar and service was quite slow. I would only go again for a full dinner if my daughter made me go. I would definitely go for drinks.
