Some of the best food I had in California. ribeye was incredible and service was great!

Herb and Sea offers a mixed experience, as some diners find the food to be unique and fantastic, while others are underwhelmed by the lack of seafood in the seafood tasting menu. The service has received mixed reviews, with some praising the attentive staff and others mentioning long wait times. Despite the inconsistencies, the ambiance is consistently appreciated by patrons. With a range of prices and menu items, Herb and Sea seems to cater to a variety of tastes, making it a potential spot for those looking for a unique dining experience.

I absolutely adored the ceviche and tuna appetizers, and the halibut was outstanding too. The dishes were incredibly fresh and flavorful.
