| - Oh, Herb Box - your name conjures up visions of a fast-food sandwich spot (or in Denver, the newest MMJ shop), but in reality you're keepin' it classy.
-Simple, beautifully-decorated interior? Check.
-Unique, eye-catching chandeliers? Check.
-Groovy bathroom with oversized doors, tons of mirrors and the flattest sink in the west? Check.
- But the pièce de résistance? Fried green olives stuffed with blue cheese. Please, commence with the drooling.
The menu at Herb Box is filled with lots of options for salads, sandwiches, wraps, flatbreads (why can't we just call them pizzas?), and shared plates to start. I sampled the petite fromage - soft bread with capicola, honey cheddar and sea salt with a lovely little sweet salad. Caution: this is a very rich sandwich which is probably best eaten with a fork. Good luck picking it up!
Our party of 14-ish must have wrecked the kitchen, because our service was painfully slow. Our drinks came out quickly (try the Arnold Palmer) but orders of sweet potato chips didn't arrive for half an hour, and our meals about 10 minutes after that. Desserts were beautifully presented, and my bite of the red velvet cupcake was sweet and satisfying, as expected.
P.S. No surprise, there are actual herbs in the flower boxes out front.
