The Herb Box

Make sure Paul is your bartender! Very personable and fun to talk to. He made me an amazing pink drink that wasn’t even on the menu. Wish he had a name for it so I could send all my friends in to order it. Great place, good atmosphere and amazing drunk and food. Thanks Paul!

Updated.
Talk about going from hero to zero.
I came by to visit and we were a few minutes before closing time. Which means we should have been able to do business at this location because it was within normal store hours.
I called the number on the door and asked to speak to a manager who seemed extremely bothered by my call and was not very pleasant to deal with. I explained I I rush from the other side of town in order to get there before they closed and someone had closed the market early. I did not expect anything for it, but I did want to make the manager aware of it. His attitude was so disturbing that I will not return and I was made to feel that this business is very inconsistent.
Feel free to read my glowing review from a previous visit. Things have obviously changed here.
Past review.
We planned on having dinner at the restaurant however due to the event happening that closed off all the entrances we found it easier to just order from the little downstairs counter.
Firstly, the blonde (sorry I didn’t get her name) behind the counter was awesome. Just to show you that great customer service can make up some imperfections. She knew the menu, was happy to accommodate us on her little patio seats, recommended some awesome items for a gluten free diet and was extremely genuine and cordial.
That said, we opted for the oatmeal cream filled cookie while we waited for takeout. It was awesome and highly recommended. Our takeout consisted of the plantain appetizer and two different enchilada entrees. The beef was much better than the chicken.
There was no to go silverware, the enchilada containers leaked a bit and did not seem to seal correctly (lost a star on that).
I would come back. This time I will come earlier and just order a panini from the nice lady downstairs. :)

Fantastic all around! Get the Brussels sprout chips and/​or the kale appetizer! Our server gave great recommendations and the cocktails were top notch. I will definitely return soon

Love this place! Have been for my birthday and we had our wedding party dinner here. Only gave it 4 star because they got rid of my favorite thing on the menu, the cheese board. Bring it back!!!

Went with our daughter for Father’s Day brunch. Must say we really enjoyed eating here, it has a cozy feel with comfortable seating, good service and great food. My daughter and I had the cinnamon buckwheat pancakes with honey butter, comes with fresh blueberries and crispy bacon. Perfect size, moist and delicious. My husband had the eggs and bacon and his fried eggs were cooked perfectly. My mother had the red velvet pancakes topped with marscapone, she loved it but I tried it and to me it tasted too much like dessert. Not that it wasn’t delicious; just too sweet for me. All-​on-​all we were very pleased and will return again.

Absolutely delicious and amazing!!! We came here for brunch and the food was fabulous. The service was great and the patio was a great space even in the 110 degree weather. They were accommodating to my vegetarian request, which is always a plus! I highly recommend.

One of the best spots to eat or grab a drink in old town. Fun atmosphere, beautiful outdoor seating, and friendly staff! The food is all delicious and they have unique cocktails. The bartender, Paul, is my favorite. Super nice guy whose extremely knowledgeable and makes the best drinks!

Food was very good. Loved the cauliflower appetizer dish and the butternut squash and corn enchiladas. I personally wasn’t to crazy about the sweet potato Avocado Baja bowl but my husband enjoyed. Ordered the blackberry mojoito and it wasn’t my fav. Overall two thumbs up for both good and service!

The Herb Box was extremely accommodating to our large group of authors as we socialized before an event at Poisoned Pen. The atmosphere, the service, the food: everything was top notch. I enjoyed my drink, a sexy fizz and fig. The urban market salad was so pretty I had to share a picture on Twitter! Really, it had a perfect mix of flavors and textures.
This place has a good reputation for a reason. I’d gladly dine here again!

FANTASTIC SUMMER PATIO!
I typically don’t want to give up my favorite summer patio spots because here in AZ a good shaded patio is often hard to come by. I just love this place so much I felt I was doing an injustice by not writing about it!
The patio is shaded with misters. The food is really great quick lunch fare (they also serve breakfast but I haven’t tried it yet). What steals the show in the summer along with the patio is the lemonade that I traditionally like to mix with the blackberry jasmine tea. I am officially addicted!
Taking a large glass out to the over-​sized seating on the patio under the misters on a beautiful summer day is the best because their patio is shaded by the building. It’s not a large patio but it really is such a peaceful spot!
The food is very yummy and the big pro is most of it is exceptionally healthy. They use fresh ingredients, and have unique salads. The jalapeño avocado hummus is a must try.
Of course I can’t help but mention what a wonderful staff they have. I’m finding on the hot days when most people just want to go home and chill in the comfort of their AC the staff at The Herb Box is friendly, kind and welcoming. I appreciate this as I know it is hard for businesses to make it through the rough summer months here in AZ. Thanks guys for doing what you do!

Located in the charming old town of Scottsdale, this restaurant has a fun, hipster vibe with trendy décor and an adventurous menu. I made reservations and was seated outside in the courtyard. The waiter was friendly and helpful, so I anticipated a great evening.
First of all, don’t be fooled by the name – the dishes are far from healthy and fresh. It took me quite some time to settle on the steak salad. Most of the dishes were smothered in sauces, and quite unappealing.
The salad came out (thankfully I ordered the sauce and dressing on the side) and I was pleasantly surprised by its appearance. All of that went downhill as soon as I took a bite. The meat tastes like it had been marinating for days. The flavor was muddled and flat. I ate the salad and half way through, felt very sick. When I went to the bathroom, I was horrified by what I found. Dirty, old fixtures and and unkept space. I usually judge the cleanliness of a restaurant by its bathrooms, so this was highly disappointing.
If they put so little effort into keeping the visible spaces clean, how are they up keeping the kitchen? My suspicions were further heightened when I spent most of the night sick from the odd meat that graced my salad. I will not be returning.

I went to drop my car off for service and since it was so close to Old Town Scottsdale, me and my son decided to catch some breakfast. Only had an hour and half. My son wanted to take me to Herb Box so it sounded alright to me.
We got there right when they opened at 9am. Lots of open parking but after 10am forget it. We decided to eat outside. What a great idea. Right next to the River Walk with a cool breeze and shaded the whole time. Excellent. Very relaxing.
Our server came pretty quickly for our drink orders and I got the cappuccino and my son got the Mango Ice Tea. Both were really good. My Cappuccino was a little small but well worth it.
I got the Smoked Salmon hash. Oh my goodness. So good. Really nice portion of smoked salmon with grilled potatoes, eggs, bacon, capers, and green onions. You get a small side of red pepper aioli. I poured that aioli all over and boom. So good. The aioli sauce gave it a nice kick. It’s a good portion and really filled me up. Loved it. I would have no problem ordering this again.
My son got the breakfast burrito. All I know is it had egg and bacon but I know there was other stuff in it too. I got a bite and it was so good. Looked good. Tasted good and my son just loved it.
The service was really good. They really didn’t rush you but let you just enjoy the outdoors. They filled up our water cups and checked on us to make sure everything was ok.
I just loved it at Herb Box. Really good food. Really good service. Great ambiance. Right by the river walk with a nice breeze today. As you can tell I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be back. Enjoy.

As somebody not used to the desert heat, I needed a light lunch pre-​midday nap.
Really cute, spacious restaurant. I got the Avocado Love (avocado + lime on thinly sliced whole-​grain toast topped with an arugula & fennel salad with a sweet and spicy Serrano glaze), which hit the spot.
Next time I’m in the area I’ll need to temper to come here for brunch!

Very cute and quaint little spot in old town. I’ve only come here for brunch, but my experiences have been really great each time. Service was great except for the last time I was there my food took exceptionally longer than anyone else’s which was a bit frustrating. All the mimosas are fantastic. Love the look of this place. I want to try their bakery and coffee section at some point, but the restaurant is awesome overall.

What a treat! Love this place!
Menu was so up my ally that I had to order 3 dishes!
The sweet potato tacos were delicious. I asked for my meat to be rare for the Market Salad and it arrived perfectly cooked and ever so tender.
Not to mention the gluten free brownie… oh my!

The Herb Box is by far one of my favorite places for a weekend lunch. It’s such an eclectic little jewel inside with fresh and well prepared food. I’ve sampled a good portion of lunch items, and it’s all been good, steak salads, enchiladas, a very odd toast/​salad/​fried shrimp bonanza of weird. It’s is a very Scottsdale locale so I do somewhat worry that my eyebrows are not waxed enough or my nose straight enough to lounge in the patio by the canal. But, the drinks are good, the service is lovely, and beyond the weird shrimp toast, the food is great!

My only problem with this place is that it’s too far from NJ!
On our last day in Phoenix we had hours to kill before our flight out. We spent them blissfully getting lost in the happy hour menu here!
$ 5 appetizers from 4 – 6, and some drinks $ 7! We got a seat on the patio and told our waiter we were planning on «grazing» our way for a bit– he was super nice and came back to check on us, only when plates were empty.
First the edamame hummus; why have I never thought of this before? Ahhhmazing. Planning making this at home– garnished with corn ask raddishes, just the right amount of fresh.
We also had the pesto pizza, fried cauliflower, and drinks of course. Blackberry margarita for me, house special for him– blackberrys were fresh and tasted light without being too sweet!
Everything was clearly fresh and seasoned exceptionally. The vibe of the restaurant was also awesome– definitely recommend for a boozy lunch or an afternoon with time to kill!

I was with a group of family members and we initially planned to go to Montagu’s, but they were serving only appetizers on Sunday at the time we went (2 pm). So I found this place nearby on Unilocal and we walked there.
We were provided the Sunday brunch menu which had a choice of breakfast or lunch options. When we first looked at the menu we thought we had made a mistake coming here. But once we got our food, everything we ended up ordering was absolutely delicious!
Things we ordered:
–Eggs, bacon and toast (my dad is a basic kind of guy)
–Kobe Burger bacon + brie + apple-​jicama-​watercress slaw + smashed fingerlings + crisp fired sage + smoky blue cheese
(My husband ordered this on toasted wheat bread since he doesn’t like ciabatta or other fluffy breads. He didn’t care for the fingerling potatoes served with it because he prefers regular fries. But the burger was nice and fresh)
–Grapefruit and sugar charred salmon: snap peas + fennel + blackberries + pistachio + orange + charred onion + black quinoa + snow pea shoots
–Lentil cauliflower bowl: organic cauliflower + rainbow quinoa + organic black lentils + pickled red grapes + crispy brussels sprouts + honeycup dijon + aioli
(I know this doesn’t sound great, but it was — I added the grapefruit and sugar charred salmon with it, delicious!)
–Sangria — it was mixed with a drier red wine, with just enough sweetness (my mom and I liked it)
We were only in town for a limited time and I’m glad we decided to come here. I didn’t end up eating another meal for the rest of the day.

The Italian Festival next door was providing classic old school Italian music while we enjoyed a fresh lunch on a beautiful Spring day in Old Town Scottsdale. The open air restaurant upstairs had live music and a nice vibe.
Deciding to eat at the downstairs deli, we were pleasingly surprised with the quality of the «deli» food. The Butternut squash enchilada made with a corn tortilla, fresh corn and perhaps gouda cheese really hit the spot? Next up was a Turkey-​berry –jalepino-​brie-​arugula sandwich that sounds like a mouthful but was actually quite light and delicate. The Gouda mac and cheese was not good at all, in fact very dry.
We ordered a number of sides: the Szechuan Green Beens had a nice crunchy kick, and the Edamame Salad and Roasted Cauliflower were both fresh and filling. It was a hot day so having Orange San Pellegrino was a treat. The deli is
not full service but they gladly gave us extra plates and removed our dirty dishes.

This is one of those meals that was made all the better by an incredible server. In our case his name was Andy and his personality, knowledge of the menu and dry wit kept our group entertained while we enjoyed their incredible dining options. Her Box management, take note: Andy is someone you’re going to want to hold on to on your staff.
Beyond the friendly back-​and-​forth with the server, our meal was exquisite. I mulled over a couple menu items like the fried chicken but quickly decided that the filet mignon was what I needed. I couldn’t have been happier with that decision after slicing off and biting into a piece of the tender, melt-​in-​your-​mouth meat. The seasoning was just amazing and almost worth making another trip to AZ for. I tried my friends Thai-​style ribs and found them equally delicious. The two together made a heavenly sweet and savory combo.
The entrees weren’t the only impressive edibles. The mac n’ cheese, with a unique, herby creaminess and the signature cocktails were also winners in my book. I’d easily bring back a large party for another fantastic dinner. Especially if Andy entertains!

I’ll start by saying we had one of the best servers I’ve ever come across while dining. Not only was he super friendly and attentive but had a great sense of humor, made great recommendations on dishes to consider and avoid. The use of his adjectives like «Narnia» and other fantasy words made ordering quite fun. His name is Andy.
It’s hard to find a restaurant in old town Scottsdale that has decent spirits so much to my surprise this place had old raj gin, so I ordered it on the rocks.
In terms of ordering food I was in between the fried chicken and the Thai baby back ribs. I ended up ordering the ribs because they came with mac & cheese from «Narnia» and were highly recommended. The ribs were fall off the bone kind of ribs, and some of the better ones I’ve had in recent memory. You always know a good rib when no meat sticks to the bone and these were exactly that.
I was also able to try a piece of my friends filet mignon and it was fantastic. I’m pretty sure the group had a memorable meal but mostly due in part to our server. If you find yourself in old town and are looking for a good old American style bistro this is a solid option.

We planned on having dinner at the restaurant however due to the event happening that closed off all the entrances we found it easier to just order from the little downstairs counter.
Firstly, the blonde (sorry I didn’t get her name) behind the counter was awesome. Just to show you that great customer service can make up some imperfections. She knew the menu, was happy to accommodate us on her little patio seats, recommended some awesome items for a gluten free diet and was extremely genuine and cordial.
That said, we opted for the oatmeal cream filled cookie while we waited for takeout. It was awesome and highly recommended. Our takeout consisted of the plantain appetizer and two different enchilada entrees. The beef was much better than the chicken.
There was no to go silverware, the enchilada containers leaked a bit and did not seem to seal correctly (lost a star on that).
I would come back. This time I will come earlier and just order a panini from the nice lady downstairs. :)

Vegetarian and gluten free heaven! We had lunch on a beautiful sunny Scottsdale afternoon. Beautiful restaurant inside and in the outside seating area. I had the Grow Happy salad, one of the freshest salads ever with house made honey lemon dressing and the sweet potato tacos with mango and black bean salsa, just a perfect vegetarian dish and done gluten free as well! Hubby had short rib enchiladas which he said were excellent! Only reason I’m not giving five stars is because I was up charged $ 3.50 for hot water, who does that? Seriously!
Make sure you visit the bakery and market next-​door! They had several gluten-​free options, great coffee and tea selections and lots of healthy eating options as well! We thoroughly enjoyed our coffee and desserts sitting outside in their lovely patio area. We will definitely be returning on our next trip to Scottsdale!

We stopped in here to meet friends for an appetizer and drink on Saturday because it was gorgeous outside and the Herb Box has a lovely patio! The bartenders were super friendly and willing to whip up any concoction that wanted.
I started with a lemon and basil martini that was absolutely DELISH. Any drink with basil wins my heart. Next, we nibbled on their Kale, Corn, and Sweet Onion Pakora. Holy heaven! This was a recommendation from their bartender because they were out of my FAVORITE cilantro-​lime crab dip {…still sad about this! It is THE best!}. But the Kale appetizer had the most amazing flavors and was crisped to perfection. I would most definitely get it again!
I also have to note their amazing customer service. They were super busy the day we were in and the bartender forgot to place our appetizer order, SO he brought us a round of yummy shots (that were more like the size of drinks). Okay, twist our arms, we aren’t hangry anymore. ;) They have a new fresh cocktail menu coming soon that will include exotic spices and fresh juices. You better believe that we’ll be back for that! & crossing fingers they have my favorite crab dip next time!

Good food. Market Street never fails to deliver.

The menu looked great and the ambiance was nice, but food was subpar for $ 20 entrees. I tried the trout, which came with corn and leek gratin and a beet/​bean salad. The trout itself was fine, the pesto didn’t add much for me. The corn gratin was disappointing, bland, and mushy. It came out very cold in the middle so
I had to send it back.
Husband had the rib entrée. They were fine, slathered with a spicy BBQ sauce.
The waiter forgot to place order for our appetizer, but was very apologetic and took it off the bill. The –2 stars is for the quality of food only. The waiter handled his mistake well.

Very cool atmosphere. We went on a Saturday without a reservation and were seated quickly which was nice.
We sat outside, very nice setting. Had tomato and avocado soup, wonderful. My daughter had a salad. Both were very good. Would suggest.

Hanging out in old town Scottsdale and trusting Unilocal reviews to guide us to the perfect lunch spot. Unilocal delivered us here. Great place and we will come back! Nice outdoor seating, amazing menu and great wines by the glass and beer selection. If I lived here I would be here every week! The service was a little slow, but we were not in a hurry so it did not matter. Steak salad and chicken blt were so good!!! Gorgeous menu!

This is a great restaurant and I highly recommend you order the MangoLemonade, it truly is the best for being home made, I also, ordered the grapefruit salmon plate. We had a very enthusiastic waiter. I highly recommend this restaurant.

The in-​laws, my fiancé, and I came here after eating at Barrio Queen. We were originally going to go to Classic Cakes but they were temporarily closed for twenty minutes and we didn’t want to wait around. Honestly, we regret we didn’t because the dessert selection at The Herb Box just didn’t look as appetizing as the lemon bars over at Classic Cakes.
We decided to get a whole bunch of stuff – Red Velvet something, Pink Champagne Cake, Blackberry Pie, and what they called «Crack Pie.» The guy who was working there said that it was pretty equivalent to what a «Sugar Pie» was down in the south. I’m an original New Yorker, so I had no idea what that meant. He mentioned Pecans so I guess there’s that. My fiancé also picked up a Blackberry Italian Soda.
Nothing was particularly memorable nor delicious. It seems that I’m the outlier for this place, but it looks like all the good reviews are based off the actual food here, not the desserts. The Blackberry Italian Soda was decently made, but wasn’t really that satisfying. The crack pie did indeed have a pecan-​y taste to it, but again, it was just really overpoweringly sweet. Crust was A-​OK at best. Honestly, the champagne cake was the most disappointing. I thought champagne cakes were supposed to be super airy; am I wrong? Both the cake and icing were quite dense and again, very sweet.
Their saving grace was the guy who was working there. He was very patient with us as we ordered pretty much one of everything and got it all to-​go. He was also very helpful in general.
tl;dr really just meh, at least when it comes to desserts. Blackberry Italian Soda was decent. Champagne cake was highly disappointing.

Update… still fabulous. I took my mom here after shopping and our 1^st experience was a great experience, so we reminisce and ordered soup of the day — tomato & artichoke soup and it was so delicious. The food here is always awesome… the service is just just tad slow… and I only think we came between shifts. I don’t mind waiting for the good food, but waters up front or taking our drink orders… sorry we waited quite a bit. Anyhow. we came for the fabulous food and they did not disappoint. Service this time around just a little slow.

We had our Holiday Party here. Every thing was amazing. The restaurant itself was really cute and had excellent atmosphere. On top of that, the food was fresh and amazing and tasted very healthy. I loved the free range chicken I had and the unlimited glasses of Mango Lemonade that they make there at the restaurant was also amazing! Not to mention the service was great :) Just a really great place all around and I’m glad we had our company party there!

What a delight! Lovely outdoor patio and space with a winning combination of friendly service and honestly good food. Our veggie inclination was favored nicely here and you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. The crispy brussell sprouts chips were our favorite, but we also loved the cheeseboard that favored goat (my fave) and the pear-​gorgonzola flatbread. The squash enchiladas were a huge treat as well. The cocktails were also superb — so get out there and try this place!

We had a company dinner here a couple nights ago, and this was definitely the worst meal that we had while in Scottsdale.
Let’s start with the good: the brussel sprouts on the veggie nosh platter were delicious — crunchy, flavorful and light.
At least five of us ordered the glazed salmon for our entrees, and it was incredibly disappointing. We were told that it would be cooked medium — it was incredibly well done. One of my colleagues sent it back and was given another salmon — equally well done. It was bland and, frankly, something that I could have whipped together in my home for $ 5 and not a lot of effort.

Outstanding lunch! Literally one of the best salads I have ever had. Serrano shrimp and avocado. Spicy. Sweet. Fresh and creative. Sat us next to a lovely little fire outside. Server was very attentive. We just may come back here!

My husband and I were visiting Scottsdale this past weekend and had an amazing lunch at The Herb Box!
I am gluten & dairy free and usually have very few things to choose from on a menu, or I’m offered a piece of very plain, bland chicken or fish with steamed veggies. This was not the case at The Herb Box!
Here is a description of what we enjoyed:
crisp brussel sprout chips with a vegan yellow pepper aioli (will definitely recreate at home!!), kale, corn & sweet onion pakora with sweet, hot serrano glaze & vegan aioli, grapefruit and sugar charred salmon with snap peas, fennel, blackberries, pistachios, oranges, charred onions, black quinoa & snow pea shoots and a kobe beef burger for my husband with bacon, brie, apple-​jicama-​watercress slaw & sweet potato chips, $ 5 mimosas & bloody marys, and fantastic service to boot! And yes, it was all as good as it sounds… I was in Heaven!
To find a restaurant that has such spectacular & innovative allergy-​friendly dishes is very rare and so appreciated! If ever in Scottsdale again, we will definitely return!
I highly recommend The Herb Box for anyone who enjoys delicious food with an innovative twist!
*Don’t let the unusualness of the pakora deter you from ordering it! I was on the fence but took the plunge and could have eaten the whole plate myself easily!

First of all let me say the service was impeccable. I felt like I was being catered too. We arrived for happy hour and the specials were an awesome bargain. I had a glass of sangria for $ 5 and then ordered the fried cauliflower with peas and quinoa for $ 5. Then for my entrée ordered the Kobe slider burger for $ 8. The cauliflower was excellent and the accompaniments were a nice touch.
The burger was good. Overall it was great for the money, the food was healthy, and the view of the canal would be tough to beat. Would definitely recommend the place.

We tried this restaurant out based on previous Unilocal reviews. Wow! This restaurant has fantastic ambiance, outdoor dining options and excellent service! The menu is fabulous and the food was spectacular! The prices and portions were reasonable!
We will be back!

This is a very hip place on the canal in Old Town, with a lovely patio for very romantic dining or just enjoying an evening with friends (as I did last night)…a little above average in price, but not terribly bad for Scottsdale, where pretty much every restaurant is above average in price. There were four of us dining — we each had one drink or cocktail, we split the Veggie Nosh Board as an appetizer, and each had one entrée — our bill before tip was $ 136.
I know others have complained about the service, but we had excellent service — our waiter was wonderful — attentive and made good suggestions, kept our water glasses filled, and was friendly. Around here Thursday night is generally a busy night, but we never felt like we weren’t getting top-​notch service.
As for the food, that was hit-​or-​miss. I highly recommend the Vegetarian Nosh Board ($ 19) as an appetizer for a group (it was perfect for the 4 of us) — very tasty, nice presentation, nice variety of goodies. I would even have that all by myself as an entrée.
The rest was not as good… I had the Kobe Burger, and it was about the worst I’ve ever had — way overcooked (I asked for medium-​well but it was beyond well done), very dry, and very tough — normally one should be able to cut a burger with a fork, I had to struggle to cut mine with a knife. And yes, the default way of serving it is bun-​less but our server asked if I wanted a bun with mine — if they forget to ask, then speak up if you want one. The apple-​jicama slaw was fresh and tasty, but the fingerling potatoes, which the menu described as ‘smashed’ came fried instead… they weren’t bad, but had I known I would have ordered something else as I try to avoid fried foods.
My boyfriend had the butternut squash enchiladas, and said they were okay — not terrible, not great, just meh. Of the four of us, the only one who enjoyed his entrée was a friend who had the short-​rib enchiladas, he did say they were very good.
I would definitely try the Herb Box again, but I doubt it would become a regular go-​to restaurant for us, due to the price and the inconsistency in the food.
SO for Ambiance it gets an A+, for Food it gets a B-​, and for price it gets a C.

Nothing special in my book. Service in AZ seems to be very leisurely. It’s OK if you’re used to that, but where I come from, we don’t wait 10 minutes before they even take a drink order.
Food was average, nothing special. They did have some interesting garden to table features. Ordered the market sunflower salad, kale cuban and brussels sprouts & pancetta flatbread. The best being the flatbread and the worst the kale cuban.
Cute ambiance, but I probably wouldn’t visit again.

First and foremost a piece of advice for you: get the MANGO LEMONADE!
After spending a morning at a painting place in Old Town, we walked over to the Herb Box to get a late lunch. It wasn’t too busy so we were promptly greeted & were seated at a table right away. Our drink orders were taken; my friend who normally gets the mango lemonade ordered it, and I’m so glad I decided to follow suite. I’ll admit that throughout our meal I may or may not have had 3 glasses of it … It was so good!
For my meal, I ordered the blackened salmon blt sandwich. I’m not sure that I’ve ever had bacon with salmon before (it was a little bit on the salty side) but it was pretty good. I’d consider asking them to lightly season the salmon next time (or leave the bacon off) as I preferred the taste of the red pepper aioli that was on the sandwich. The best part however, was probably the side of sweet potato chips. They were the perfect crunchy bites to accompany the sandwich.
Unfortunately, the service wasn’t that great. We had to flag down our waitress a couple of times to get drink refills & get us our checks, etc. but I’ve heard some great brunch recommendations such as the red velvet pancakes & the french toast, so for the food I’ll be back.

The food we tried was really good — we shared three appetizers. One was some kind of cheesy corn au gratin thing… can’t remember but it was amazing. We had a flatbread little pizza thing that was pretty off the hook too. And some Korean fried cauliflower. Very good.
3 Friends:
2 cosmos
2 glasses of house wine
1 Bloody Mary
3 appetizers
Just barely under $ 100. I thought it was a bit steep, but maybe I’m just old and out of touch? My friends seemed a little shocked too though.
The waiter was a doll. He took care of us and laughed at all of my stupid jokes — and he managed to look like he wasn’t annoyed by having to fake it. Tip: $ 30. I appreciate a man who can fake it well.

Great patio and nice healthy menu, host was accommodating and we had a nice seat on the pAtio.
Service was slow and unfriendly! I had to go up to the host to ask if our waitress was still working as we had not seen her in 15 minutes. When she did return she was cold and put out. I would not rush back to spend my money there when there are so many other amazing places right across the street!

This is Liz from the
blog.
Herb Box is good, not knock your socks off good, but definitely satisfies and I love that it is local and semi-​healthy (depending on what you order).
The food itself would have been 4 stars, but I knocked down half a star for the service and half a star for the price (too expensive for what you get).
I went with a party of 3 at 4:15, so it was an awkward time but I still expect to be served well, especially since it was’t so busy. There seemed to be a lot of staff walking around, but for some reason there was only one waiter serving the entire inside of the restaurant (about 4 other parties). So, we flagged down another waitress and she took our order and sent it to the kitchen, which was nice.
We ordered the mac & cheese, the korean cauliflower, the market salad, beef short rib enchiladas, and the corn and goat cheese flat bread. My sister got a green flash beer, also.
The entrees were all great! I would have preferred if my chicken was cut up and tossed into my salad instead of having huge chunks on top, but it was moist and well seasoned. I appreciate the fact that they respected my wishes for EXTREMELY light dressing on my salad – overdressed salads are disgusting. The flat bread was great, and my sister said the enchiladas were also good.
I didn’t particularly care for the mac & cheese. The portion was pretty small, the noodles were a little over cooked, and it wasn’t the cheesy. The cauliflower, however, was spectacular! Need to learn how to make that at home.
I love the ambiance of the herb box! The décor is very modern-​anthropologie-​ish and the bathrooms are gorgeous. I noticed that theres a large room in the back for parties, also. Their outdoor seating looked nice too, but it was too cold the day I went.
Overall, a great spot! I would love to come here for breakfast or brunch. I’m sure the service is usually better, but the prices are definitely a little steep.
