First time diner. Joined a friend for dinner on a quiet Tuesday night. We shared some oysters, green beans, the swordfish and the shrimp pasta. Everything was delicious! Will be back!

Overall very good. The veggies (carrots, potatoes, and green beans were excellent. Had the tomato and sumac but felt the humus like stuff overpowered the rest of the ingredients. The margarita pizza was amazing. The shrimp linguini was good. Swordfish was good. Service was very good. We were seated at the very first table when you walked in - wasn't my favorite location in the restaurant. Felt awkward. Good experience overall.

We love coming here.we took our son for his last dinner before he headed back to college and he had all his favorites. The dinner didn't disappoint. The food was on point and the service was also. Can't wait to come back.

This was my first time trying Herb & Sea, chose this for our date night and I was not disappointed even in the slightest. Nikki our waitress was so lovely, very warm and friendly! She made amazing recommendations and took very good care of us. Thank you so much for such an incredible night. Also tomahawk is worth it!

Peggy

Food was good but table too small if you order very many food items or drinks. Service was good and food served promptly,

Kevin

Server was really nice and took great care of us, our favorite dishes were the aguachile scallops, duck pizza, Caesar salad. The date cake for dessert was really well done too

Amazing dinner tonight! We ordered the mussels toast (INCREDIBLE), ode to swan, and ceviche to start. I’d recommend their fish - got swordfish and shrimp linguini as our main dishes and both were so flavorful and filling. Our server AJ went above and beyond and we had such a memorable experience!

The place and service is very good. We were not crazy about the food. The bone marrow was extremely salty and small. The red snapper tasted like it was put through the grinder, it was mushy . The only food I enjoyed was potatoes and bread, very crispy and delish. Not coming back.

The restaurant itself was pretty good, but quite loud and doesn't seem justified in the pricing. I got the red snapper and it was excellent. We also got the vegetable sides and they were pretty decent. The service was impeccable.

Beautiful set up for Christmas!!! Props to the team who put up all the decor because it looks like it was so much work but as a patron, thank you!!! It made for an incredibly lovely and festive evening! Loved the Christmas music in the background too! Service was great! I only gave the food 4 stars because my friend ordered the snapper and it was a little bland but everything else we ordered was 5 stars. I gave the atmosphere 4 stars only because we were seated at the table right in front of the entry doors which were opening all night as patrons came and went and it was quite chilly.

It was quite chilly in the restaurant. Make sure to bring an extra layer or be prepared to keep your coat on. They food was fair, the presentation and the service was lovely.

I had a fantastic dinner at Herb & Sea where they were able to accommodate my food allergies without making a big deal about it to me, which shows how excellent their service is!! Swordfish & oysters were delicious. I will be a repeat guest the next time that I am in town.

The food here is phenomenal — every dish was so thoughtfully prepared and absolutely delicious. The raw bar items were incredibly fresh, and the mussel toast (which came highly recommended) did not disappoint at all. It was one of the highlights of the meal.

The service was just as impressive. Our servers were warm, attentive, and made the entire meal even more enjoyable.

Overall, everything exceeded our expectations. I would definitely recommend coming here if you’re looking for great food and a memorable dining experience!

Great atmosphere, loved the space. The food and service were fine. The yellowtail crudo was fantastic. We both had seafood for our mains, which were both ok. The swordfish was better than the snapper. The snapper was covered in breading and just not good. The green beans were also just ok, being smothered in a cream sauce. Probably would go back, but order different dishes.
