The reservation is for 7pm but you can arrive as early as 615pm to explore the gardens, wine cellar, and library, as well as get a welcome (non-alcoholic) refreshing beverage. All of the staff were introduced and they explained both the food menu and the wine pairings. During the meal, there's a live guitarist playing classical takes on tunes. Everyone is super polite, they commented on my Labubu and their custom (hand knit!) hat - shoutout to Rosalee for the Labubu hat. Here's the menu and the pairings. My thoughts were that the peas stood out but otherwise it was a forgettable meal. The space is nice and the ingredients are high quality, but I don't know if the price was fully justified by the overall experience. I think it was like $325/person plus service and tax fees?

Went to The Herbfarm to celebrate an early Valentine's and my husband's promotion…read more What can I say, as usual the service is top notch. They know who you are when you walk in the door! Every little detail is amazing. They made our night very special hands down. The food was phenomenal. Everything so fresh. I loved that a lot of the seasonal things I grow myself was also on their menu. The wine pairings were good, but like most things, wines are subjective to personal taste. And last but certainly not least, inside the restaurant was absolutely beautiful. A very intimate affair and it was nice that the you could see them cooking and preparing your food. The chef explained everything about the meal before you started. Definitely will be going as much as possible while we still reside in the state.

Wow even though very expensive (around $250/person) , it's worth it for the quality of food we had…read more The pre-selected and made in front of our eyes menu was thoughtfully selected wow the food was incredible. Service was phenomenal, wine pairing was right on point, and organic was of the overall is the BEST that Whidbey offers. I like the feel of the community table, we ended up becoming friends with everyone at the table, and the intimate setting if having the chef to cook in front of you with the team. Will definitely be back next time that I'm in town. Note that you need reservations few days in advance and put a deposit when you reserve. That was unique but again for me who is an organic, farm to table goodie, it was all worth it.

This is a hard one for me to write. We have family on the Island, and have been wanting to come…read morehere since it first opened (back in 2015, but having a newborn made that hard). We FINALLY made it over after over 10 years. My husband and I have traveled all over the world and dined at some of the best restaurants (from 3 star Michelin to delicious food carts--we don't care if there are accolades behind the food--we just know what well prepared, good food tastes like). We may be picky and more particular than most guests dining here. Whidbey has never been known for amazing food. It's a hard place to have a restaurant as it tends to rely heavily on tourism during the summer months, and it's hard to get locals to spend $$$ on the regular. We've seen many restaurants come and go. While I am thrilled this place is still surviving and thriving, it didn't quite live up to all the high praise I've seen. Don't get me wrong, the food is tasty, but I wouldn't say it was something that would leave a memory. Most of the dishes seemed like there needed some work to be done, or some quality control. The salad we received was heavily dominated by the cheese, and you couldn't taste any of the fresh vegetables. My "surprise" course had Guanciale which both my husband and I looked at each other at the same time and said "this tastes like it was rendered in old bacon fat." My husband also received 6 pieces of gnocchi, while I only had 2. The main course was cooked technically well, but it was off balance in the elements they provided. Again, not a big deal--but some tinkering and adjusting of amount of the components on the dish would have benefited them. My husbands cheese dish came without one of the components--but it was minor and not a big deal. It was just another example of how extra time may be needed with the dishes. The gentleman sitting next to me had told the other guests that "this was the best meal he has ever had," and thats when my husband and I realized that perhaps we went into this with too high of expectations compared to those who may dine here. By no meals was it a bad meal, it just was not at the level that some of the other reviewers here have felt. Again, that may just because we have eaten out at so many wonderful places around the world, that perhaps we are a bit jaded. We came for the Thursday local dinner, and when we left, we were a bit relieved we weren't doing the longer and more expensive weekend menu, given our experience, as we don't think we would have left feeling like we got our money's worth. If you're traveling through, and come on a Thursday--I think it's a great option. Would I spend $165-$180 a person on their main menu--that would be a no from me. It's a fun experience dining at a communal table--but it made having one on one conversation with my husband a bit tricky and we felt the need to have to engage with others when we were really wanting to turn off for the day (my husband and I are both Clinical Psychologists and spend the days listing to others The staff were all amazing and very friendly and accommodating. 5 stars for them! I really wanted to be wowed and to have a place my husband and I could escape to while visiting family as its just down the road from them--but unfortunately I don't know if we would return.

Came with my husband on a Saturday evening for date night…read more The ambiance of this spot is really cute and cozy. Very intimate and perfect for a date. They have two tasting menus (omnivorous and vegetarian) which I appreciate. We both chose the omnivorous. Portions are tiny but there's a lot of courses. A huge downside for us was how long in between courses there was. We were getting pretty hungry at one point and our conversation fell into a lull because we were just eager for food lol. The experience was around 3.5 hours. It would have been a lot better if it stuck to 2 hours. Maybe 3 max. Food was beautifully presented and quite tasty though!

One creative dish after another, each exciting my palate in new and different ways, mixing unexpected ingredients together for a surprisingly refreshing experience The restaurant itself kept one's eyes busy, a semi-mediaeval ambience reinforced the feeling of being someplace special, even exotic. The service was excellent and also very friendly. The server doubled as a bartender and was eager to create interesting concoctions on demand, lending his own creativity to the process. This place is highly recommended if you are looking for unique and interesting experiences - and quality on top of that

Would have been 5 but the bread pudding was horrible? More on that later…read more I came here tonight to escape the state of the Union bs. I was greeted by the most sweet waitress ever. I'm sorry I didn't get her name. I ordered a Rue Old Fashioned and it was perfectly blended and tasty. I wanted lite so ordered the Coronation salad and it was so good, just the right an out of chicken thighs grapes, cranberries and shaved almonds and the smooth curry dressing was so delicious. It was so perfect and I'll Definitely order it again. Then, I ordered the bread pudding to go. It came with a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream with some caramel sauce. However, the bread pudding itself was close to in edible. It must have been made weeks ago and was so dry it almost required a jackhammer to break apart. I was so disappointed and ended up throwing most of it out. This place is less than a block away and I've never had a bad meal there and I highly recommend it. But recommend passing on the bread pudding unless you want something to throw at an ICE agent. 2/2822026 -amendment-I stopped here again for lunch. There were two occupied tables and the rest of the place was empty except for staff. A server came by and said "I'll be right back with you". I waited 15 minutes and not one showed up. I won't go back changing my rating to -1

The chicken tika masala puts every other version I've had to shame, rich with visible herbs. The rice is fluffy, the meats are well seasoned. I love the lamb! The owners check on diners and are happy to explain dishes. The walls are adorned with beautiful fabric tapestries and the interior has a cozy feel. Most of the dishes they make are inherently gluten-free and they are thoughtful about labeling.

I crave Mediterranean food from time time. I heard this place reopened and offers lunch buffet…read more 3 of us visited for lunch on Saturday with no reservation. We were seated right away. There were a few other people at 11:30am We asked if they do lunch buffet as I didn't see any self serve food. The staff said they offered in the past but not today.. it might come back in 2 weeks? We ordered hummus, garlic naan, fish masala and special kebabs without lamb which was accommodated per our request. The food even the side veggies were really good, we all liked everything. I like this place for good quality fresh ingredients that I don't feel overstuffed. It's probably because the food is easy to digest? This doesn't happen with other Mediterranean and Indian food. I'd like to come back when they start lunch buffet again.
