- JJessiePalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •6 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoI am so happy we found this place!! The food, service and atmosphere were incredible. It was decorated for valentines day and we felt like we were having dinner in the middle of an Alice in Wonderland-esqu fairytale scene. There were flowers, lights, giant heart shaped balloons, themed cocktails and desserts. The photo opportunities were endless. I think what really made our night was how attentive and engaging the wait staff was. We will definitely be back to see how the atmosphere changes throughout the year and to order one of everything on the menu!More infoinsideOUTPrice: Expensive• Californian• Hillcrest•4.7
- NNorikoVIPSan Diego •19 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe had a fantastic time at Herb & Wood. Since we were both busy on Valentine’s Day, we decided to celebrate on Saturday instead. From the moment we arrived, everyone at the restaurant greeted us warmly and made us feel truly welcome. Our reservation was at 5 PM, so the restaurant wasn’t too crowded yet, but even as it filled up, the level of attentiveness remained exceptional. Our waiter, Troy, was friendly, knowledgeable, and offered great recommendations. For appetizers, we had the Sicilian Crudo and one of Troy’s suggestions—a warm dinner bread served with butter, honey, and herbs. I don’t remember the exact name, but it was absolutely delicious! For our main courses, my husband had the Iberico Pork, and I had the Roasted Branzino. The Branzino was packed with herbs and flavors—I usually can’t finish a large meal, but I couldn’t stop eating it. We were too full for dessert, though I wish we had saved room! It was our first time at Herb & Wood, but it’s now on our list of favorite restaurants for special occasions.More infoHerb & WoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Little Italy•4.7
- OOscarBaja California •4 reviews5.0Dined 3 days agoPretty pricey, just about $300 for 2 appetizers, 2 main dishes and 2 drinks with tax and tip. The food and service were great though and the place is beautiful.More infoMadisonPrice: Expensive• Mediterranean• University Heights•4.4
- VVicSan Diego •56 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoThis is a 5 star experience! Our party of four tried four different cocktails, 12 different dishes and three desserts. Impossible to pick a favorite and impossible to select anything that was not exceptional. Additionally, the chef and team were super sensitive to serving any dishes that would be an allergy issue. So the food was glorious, the chef and team brilliant…yet the staff is what elevated the experience. From our two servers, their assistant, the sommelier and the front of house - one word - Brilliant.

We probably overstay our welcome because we were visiting with our son, but they had open tables and they didn’t bother us about it. The food and service were superbMore infoCUCINA urbanaPrice: Moderate• Italian• Banker's Hill•4.7
