My husband and I were really looking forward to eating at Herb because of great reviews. As an Asian American, I will admit that the food was very good and well-presented. But there was one server for the entire restaurant, and the busperson had to take our order. Herb was out of lemongrass ginger tea (why not pre-state this when asking what drinks you would like?), pork dish (common to all three non-vegetarian tasting menus), and mango and sticky rice. The lack of pork was an acute problem, as most tables had at least one pork order. So the chef had to go from table to table asking if each diner approved a substitution of beef to the dish. There was so much waiting between courses (two small starters, soup, one entree, dessert) that the meal took 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Creative, delicate, layered and delicious food, in a rare tranquil setting. Subtle and striking flavors intermingle across the courses. Don’t let the menu intimidate- you will devour it all! Great for conversation, relaxing and enjoying your meal. The service is so kind as to make you feel a neighborhood regular, even if you traveled from out of state!

Fresh flavors. Small but interesting menu. Portions are on the smaller side and there are some kinks in the service which are quickly forgotten as the team is very pleasant and wants you to enjoy your experience..

Great fresh food with wonderful flavors, a real treat of a tasting menu with each dish beautifully presented and carefully crafted. The attention to detail and passion in the food is fantastic and a great way to spend an evening with no rush, just relax and enjoy the food.

Hadn't been to Herb in a while, but what a wonderful meal and experience we had two weeks ago with our close friends. In the past the food was always so excellent that tolerating a bit of unevenness in the service was well worth it, but our most recent experience hit on all cylinders. Will definitely be going back and continuing to recommend.

This restaurant never disappoints. I brought friends and we were all gushing about the complex delicious flavors. The restaurant is pretty as well and the staff is courteous and accommodating. Patty is a marvel and I always make sure I visit Herb when I’m visiting Chicago.
