How do I put this harshly… The food was awful. The Red Snapper was mushy and drenched in a sauce that tasted like mayo. Friends had shrimp linguini and the shrimp itself had the most bland flavor. The appetizers all pretty much sucked, especially the oysters that came with the bone marrow. Their cocktails were also extremely disappointing. McDonald’s fish filets taste more fresh than these dishes. Honestly this place is a great AD for restoring our fish stock.

We hosted our family rehearsal dinner here and all I can say is WOW! It was amazing. The food was beyond delicious; the staff were so awesome and attentive. Drinks were great as well. We were in a recessed area and had a large party of 20 guests. Would recommend for a delicious meal and great service / environment. Jarrod Zimpfer, Manager and was so patient and helpful throughout the booking and planning process.

Wow. Nikki was our server. I read Setting the Table and Unreasonable Hospitality. She hit every mark effortlessly what an asset. Manager Luke came up and said hi and is very charming and easy to talk to. Host Grace had the biggest smile and super friendly and warm. Making casual conversation (not robotic) even as shr walked me to the table. I can tell the team gets along and works together very well. Destiny was the food runner and detailed every dish with her own spin and even made a laugh a few times times in conversation. Cocktails were balanced and so good. I had the pork washed direct cocktail. Excellent but I forgot the name because I had too many. Woops. All the food is excellent, please try the MUSSEL TOAST!!!. I have been here many times and every time i have the same experience. Quality, consistency, and warmth.
Brian Malarkey is so lucky to have this team.

Food was unique and delicious! When we arrived we were the only ones in the restaurant and 1/2 hour later, totally packed.
Potential diners, I am very happy to share our recent experience for dinner at Herb & Sea. This was one of the best dinning experiences my wife and I have enjoyed! Why, because of the staff and our interactions with Lou, the GM of the restaurant and Quality individuals all around. From Hostess Grace to bartenders Amil (sp) & Jared, to our primary waitress Marisa to Lou all were a great pleasure to interact with. The chef's creations were fantastic! If you like seafood, you must order the swordfish and the Red Snapper. They were truly fantastic! We were there on a Thursday evening for dinner and this place was packed! This was truly a great dinning experience! Please make a reservation soon especially if you are celebrating a special occasion. PS, go early to start with a fantastic Happy Hour before your dinner!!

We travel and dine all around the world- from small cafes to Michelen stars. The food here was delicious! We enjoyed one well-made cocktail each, ate every bite of the mussel toast and Baja shrimp appetizers and the swordfish and red snapper entrees with roasted peppers side. Tasty chocolate mousse pie for dessert too. Service was timely,warm, and helpful. While it did get quite loud, it's more due to the crowd than thumping music - so we could still enjoy our conversation without shouting. We would happily return.
The filet was very soft and well seasoned. Carrots are a great side and the drinks were solid.
I came with a party of 10 and everyone had an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the service was top-notch.
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!
Great drinks at the bar and a nice dinner for a date night.
