Dinner at The Herbfarm
In part, that philosophy is why this very successful restaurant isn’t likely to be ranked by Michelin. Another reason is the peculiar ambiance — heavy brocade tablecloths amid a sea of bourgeois objects d’art, and several strangers seated at the same table (doubtless a cost control, but simply not done in elegant U.S. establishments). Finally, the formulaic and protracted hype is a turn-off for experienced diners. For those who can ignore such distractions, however, The Herbfarm is a fascinating, and utterly, uniquely, American experience.

I’m so glad you enjoyed the food last December. There are a few factual errors in the article. I would like to correct a couple here if I might. One sample menu is posted on our website. We take advantage of last minute freshness and confirm our menus just a few hours prior to each dinner. Our menu themes do last 2-3 weeks generally but the details changes as often as appropriate. Many world-travelers who have dined in the highest rated restaurants have expressed appreciation for the information we share and the respect we show our staff by introducing them. Please know that you have the option of arriving AFTER the presentations if you wish to avoid the educational aspect of The Herbfarm dining experience. Just let us know when you reserve so we can be sure to prepare your first course after the introductions are over. The pre-dinner introduction to The Herbfarm and discussion about herbs heppens in the garden whenever possible. you are right that it can be a bit crowded in wintertime when we are forced to stay indoors in the darkness. I hope you’ll dine with us again in the summer!
