Herbst Eatery & Farm Stand

Herbst has an incredible ambiance & is gorgeous on the inside. Parking in the back, I've seen what looks to be a really cute patio space, which I can't wait to check out. Having a little farm stand is such a cool idea, I got a fantastic smelling candle as well!We tried a few of the cocktails & I love the fact that you can order them full proof, low proof, or no proof (full to no alcohol). I tried the Mineral first, then the Seasonal (an apple cider-tasting cocktail this time), then the Coffee Martini as dessert. The martini was a much milder espresso martini, which I really appreciated; it was delicious! Our table also split a couple of starter plates, then each ordered a pasta. Everything was incredible, seriously some of the best food I've had recently. The servers & staff were all super helpful, friendly, & quick, service was excellent. Overall, I highly recommend Herbst, especially for a nice date night or a special occasion!

It's a really cool vibe in this place. We sat at the bar, and instead of being at the side (in a corner) it felt like we were in the premier spot. The staff was really nice and helpful.The prawns was the best thing we had. Not tough or overcooked, and the sauce will have you loicking the plate afterwards.The drink menu was really interesting. It's not traditional cocktails, but instead flavor profiles that you pick from and select the proof (how much alcohol is present). It's a really interesting way to view the menu. It's a bit confusing, but I really like the intent behind this creativity. The drinks were amazing.It's little expensive, but I really enjoyed myself.

Herbst restaurant was recommended to us, so we stopped by for an early dinner. Though we hadn't made reservations, it wasn't an issue on a weekday. We were warmly greeted by the friendly host and seated immediately. We had the option to sit inside or outside, and chose indoors to enjoy the cozy atmosphere. The dining area was spacious and airy, with a bar surrounded by comfortable stools and a striking modern chandelier. The open-concept kitchen provided a fascinating view of the chefs in action. I also took a quick peek at the outdoor courtyard, which looked like a lovely spot for al fresco dining.Our server arrived promptly with water and menus. The cocktail selection was exciting, featuring unique creations, some with Scandinavian influences that warmed my Danish heart. We opted for three cocktails: Mineral, Earthy, and Funky--each was equally delicious. You can choose from full proof, low proof, or no proof options depending on your alcohol preference.For dinner, we tried the Rainbow Trout and two pasta dishes: Lumache and Fusilli. All were flavorful, though the trout could have benefited from a starch or vegetable to round out the plate. The Lumache was especially memorable, and I'm eager to have it again. While the desserts looked tempting, we were pressed for time and had to skip them--something to look forward to on our next visit!Before leaving, we checked out the farm store next door, which offered a variety of local goods and gifts. Overall, it was a great experience, and we're excited to return!

If I were to discover a secret restaurant on an unassuming street with Michelin-star creations of bliss in a state that doesn't even offer the Michelin guide, I found it here. We two couples had the most delightful server but I regret forgetting her name because she deserves all recognition. She made successful recommendations every single time, including guiding us in choosing our foo-foo drinks. And bravo to the mixologist. (Fun fact: cocktails are offered in full proof, half proof, or no proof in terms of alcohol content. Mocktails were excellent according to my niece.) We decided to get several plates and share, which included the ricotta toast, duck dumplings, and entree duck. Far and away my favorite was the ricotta toast; let's just make this my entree. The caviar on top was wonderfully complementary to its other flavors. The duck dumplings were nicely crisp and good but didn't wow me. The other duck (entree) was excellent, although one person at the table didn't care for the rather rare consistency under the layer of fat that is characteristic of how it's usually prepared. Calories be damned, we ordered two amazing desserts: the manjari pot de créme with pomegranate and white chocolate. Lovely! Probably the best I've had. On to the date cake with streusel and diced, brandy apples and a dollop of some kind of sublime sour cream concoction. The latter was our group's fave. If it doesn't sound good to you, I'll prove you wrong here. I don't normally even like date/spice cake.Btw, the facade of the restaurant is hipster, artsy, and cool (we didn't notice the neon love note above the front door until it had gotten dark outside). The inside has super cool and interesting details and furnishings.

New head chef from Spoon and Stable started here a few weeks ago, and changed up the menu. It's pretty fantastic. Not a cheap date, but not a bum note in the lot. Have already booked reservations for next month when the winter menu should be out

We came here for the Valentines dinner yesterday and both my SO and I are quite underwhelmed and disappointed. The ambience and environment were very good, but when it comes to the food, which is the main event, it is best described as pretentious. It's like Herbst is trying to imitate Michelin Star restaurants without understanding why those restaurants are renowned. Let's start with the first course, it was essentially anchovies on some bitter greens with not great tasting cauliflower "panna cotta." The greens with anchovies were okay, but that is the only way to describe it, "okay." The cauliflower part of the dish was bad. The guests to the right of us were also overheard talking about how it isn't good. This is because of this weird blend of flavors which just didn't work together at all. The next dish was the best I would say, and that is because it literally was just a trout crudo with daikon radish if I recall. It's not hard to mess up and I did enjoy this. Next there was the biggest disappointment of the meal with the rutabaga mezzelune with essentially two tiny bricks of lamb. The lamb was presse lamb, which I will say was tender with it being braised and all that, but like there was like no food. This with only three of the mezzelune was kinda insane. Don't get me wrong, I understand that culinary arts is exactly that, art, but like when I go to an actual Michelin star restaurant and get smaller plates, there is at least a reason for them(very high end ingredients yadda yadda) and they will taste amazing. This just couldn't back it up with the taste. It was just mid and boring. The last course of an olive oil cake with mascarpone and espresso on the side was good, but again it was pretentious. Like this is basically a tiramisu with olive oil cake instead of lady fingers and with that whole "deconstructed" thing. After all four courses, we were still hungry and went to Taco Bell just to get something more in our stomachs. The worst part about all of this is that this mid, pretentious, tiny meal was $95 a person with the total cost(before drinks) being $259.70. This is absolutely insane and I really think Herbst needs to stop being something they are not, and understand that nothing they will make at the time being is going to be worth this much. Anyways for a TLDR, this place is kinda cringe.

This is a review for their winter menu 2023. While wildly popular right now my friend and I were not a huge fan of the food. The ambiance and decor of the restaurant are a fun find for the area. Elevated, dark and cozy. It feels fancy with the exposed kitchen and packed even on a Sunday night. It is such a cute date night space! Service was nice and paced well.It is a bit spendy as they recommend 3-5 plates for 2 people with plate being upwards of $20. 3/5 cuttlefish small plate - The cuttlefish was perfectly fried. Light and crispy. The sauce had just enough acidity and texture to excite the dish. It was on the saltier side with the gardenia which was not spicy and the capers. I felt the flavors did not pair super well.2/5 Bucatini, carrot sour cream, gruyère, poppy seed, pumpkin seed oil - The pasta was quite aldente and you really had to chew. This dish was not great. Bland and heavy with the way the sauce sat. Edible but would not order again.3.5/5 lumache bolognese - again the pasta was very aldente. I liked that his dish came out hot temperature wise. The flavors in this were much better. There was a kick of spice and you could taste some complexity with the beef and pork flavor. I literally just made this dish in my Hello Fresh except with cavatappi noodles and it was better.I hope to return when their menu changes to have a better review. Not worth your money currently with our bill for these 3 dishes coming out to $100 and leaving still feeling hungry.

If you're looking for cozy vibes, Herbst Eatery & Farm Stand, is the place to be. There's a warm, friendly mood, and playful dishes like Grilled Bok Choy Caesar. The chef designs seasonal menu based on their partnerships with local farmers and producers. Perfect for date night or sharable plates with close friends.

We requested to sit at the chef's table & it was so cool to watch them prepare our food. Cocktails to start were so interesting & packed a wallop. The 3 of us shared 3 small & 3 large plates which was more than enough food! We had to get some to-go. Service was on point. We asked for a wine recommendation & the sommelier got our preferences & was full of insights; really appreciate when they listen & give a couple of recommendations that are NOT the most expensive wine on the list!

In a word- amazing. This is a must stop and also a must stop again. Food was impeccable and the dessert was to die for. My husband won't stop talking about it. The bread pudding. It's perfection. The stroganoff with spaetzle was so creative and delicious. The sea bass was cooked perfectly with a crisp skin and was just delightful. Don't get me going on the actual serveware. It actually does matter and, they get it so right. Really, you must try this place.
