I have been meaning to check out Herbfarm for a while now. Found the service and atmosphere really good but not sure if it merits 5 stars. However, at the end of the day, we are there to dine. For us, we feel they fell short given the high price point. The wine selection was great but it felt that the wine was the star of the show, not the food. The small plates were tasty but not mind blowing. But the portions were just too small for the price. I mean two tiny pieces of prime beef, a small prawn floating in the soup, and 4 tiny pieces of American guinea hog was all the meat we got. For the price, we expected more. For people who prefer wine over food, or perhaps prefer eating less, this place may be a great choice. But for us, there are similar places in the Seattle area that are cheaper, more portions, and delicious (Juanita, Altura, Ltd Edition Sushi).

It’s been 12 years since my last visit and I was pleasantly surprised that the service remains as high as it was years ago. In addition, the personal touches for our birthdays and anniversaries were such a joy to arrive to! The food and wine were all 10/10 and came with a wonderful presentation. Thank you Herb Farm team! I look forward to our next visit!

Lovely experience. Quite pricey of course, but definitely something to try once in your lifetime if you can afford it. Great service and food was delicious!

The Herbfarm is the MOST amazing restaurant I have been to in my long life. I have traveled to and lived in other countries and have been treated to lavish dinners at many restaurants, but NONE COMPARE to the experience I had at the Herbfarm. My husband surprised me by taking me to the Herbfarm for my 80th birthday. Not only were the many courses fabulous and paired with superb wines, but the entire dining experience was unique and magical. Every detail was perfect. I believe every guest was made to feel that they deserved the most special and attentive service possible. That was certainly how I felt all evening long. For any celebratory occasion or just because...I recommend experiencing the Herbfarm for an evening you won't soon (or ever) forget.

Best course meal experience I’ve had in the PNW and the first where I didn’t feel rushed to finish. They allocate 4 1/2 hours for dining which I appreciated highly. Premises are gorgeous, food was absolutely amazing, wine pairing was top notch and the staff were so welcoming, made us feel at home. We will be coming back in a future season, thanks for giving us an unforgettable experience. I encourage you to reserve a comunal table, it was so much fun!

My mother and I went here for mother's day and agreed it was one of the best days of our lives and agreed this would be an annual tradition. The food, atmosphere, people, and thoughtfulness was like being in a dream. The personal touches and care made it an extraordinary experience. Thank you herbfarm for the most wonderful mother's day!

Had an extremely negative experience at my very first visit. I had a strong reaction to the food and started throwing up during the meal. We had booked a multi-course meal and since it was my boyfriend’s birthday i stayed through out - munching on nothing but bread and we were the first to leave. I was extremely ill for most of the following day and i reached out to Herbfarm immediately informing them of my condition and requesting a refund. Didn’t hear back for a whole week (so much for customer first) until i had to call and follow up and then got an email from someone called Jack Gingrich, Proprietor who blamed me for having hidden allergies or eating something else earlier in the day and simply refused the refund.
For a $2500 meal, extremely cheap attitude and lack of concern. Shocked at the nonchalant attitude towards my health.
Take your business somewhere else. Loads of excellent restaurants in the city that actually care about your experience and less about keeping your money.
Best meal I’ve had in Seattle. Absolutely fantastic. And the wine pairing was spot on.

The employee was rude over the phone and hung up on me and my son

This isn't just fine dining, it's an entire experience, and one I highly recommend if you have the time. Before the meal even begins you are greeted with a glass of wine, hors d'oeuvres, and the chance to walk around and explore the grounds. This includes being able to chat with the sommelier who has curated the wine selections you can have paired with your multi course meal. The meal itself is out of this world. Each course is exquisite and presented beautifully along with an explanation from the chef. The menu changes with the seasons to offer only the freshest of local ingredients and is often themed to match. Our dinner was a showcase of an Oregon winery so we got to enjoy food that paired perfectly with each glass of wine. The staff is also amazing and makes sure that you have an unforgettable experience. This is definitely the place to go to celebrate a milestone birthday, anniversary, or other event.

We took our parents here for their 50th anniversary and it did not disappoint. The courses were fantastic and the live guitar created a great and cozy atmosphere without distracting me from our own meal or conversations.
