This Is Food And Atmosphere Heaven! I took a friend here on Monday for his birthday lunch. He had been to the Herb Box before and when I suggested it, he had nothing but great things to say about it. This was a perfect place to take someone who had chosen to focus their diet on staying healthy. Then menu is extensive enough so that there is something for everyone. We had not made a reservation, but were promptly seated out on the upstairs patio in the shade where we could enjoy the perfect weather. The overall feel of the place was just right from the moment we walked into the market downstairs throughout the entire meal. The atmosphere was calm, and everyone was friendly and attentive. Within a minute of our being seated, our server arrived to take beverage orders and to ask if we had questions about the menu so far. We ordered Mango Lemonade and settled in to make our lunch selections. Our beverages came out in a matter of minutes. It was SO HARD for each of us to pick just one menu item. I really wanted to try the Korean Fried Cauliflower, and the Grow Happy Garden Salad was seriously calling my name, perhaps with some salmon. The only way I managed to choose was by promising myself I would come back again soon to try them. Because I was starving, I settled on the Urban Market Steak Salad. My friend settled on the Serrano-Avocado Shrimp Salad and a side of Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese. We considered ordering the Korean Fried Cauliflower as an appetizer, but I just dont have a large enough appetite to eat that much. We had barely decided on our selections when our server returned to refill our lemonade and take our orders. We settled in to chat and enjoy the environment while we waited for our food. The weather was lovely, and it was quiet enough that we could talk comfortably. Our food came out quickly and looked wonderful. The steak on my salad was perfectly medium rare as I had requested it, and the rest of the salad was fresh and flavorful with lots of wonderful ingredients in each bite. We both stopped talking and gave our attention entirely to our food for several minutes before relaxing back into our conversation again. Mango Lemonade refills continued to appear on a regular basis. Our lunch experience was so relaxing and palate pleasing that we completely lost track of time as we finished our food and soaked up the atmosphere. We could have been in and out in under an hour, but we lingered for two. I had expected to experience service issues based on many of the reviews I read before selecting the Herb Box for lunch, but our service was excellent. Perhaps lunchtime on Monday afternoons is the perfect time. I know Ill be there again next Monday. Ill be having the Grow Happy Garden Salad with salmon!

Friday March 10th 7:30-8:45pm -HORRIBLE experience!! Waited a full 25 minutes after being seated - finally got the attention of hostess who was embarrassed and got the Bartender to wait on me. He was great and very nice - HOWEVER - 25 minutes later still no appetizer. I had only ordered a Chili, With entree to follow. The Bartender was savvy enough to see my agitation about 20 minutes in and sent me a drink on the house - saying he spoke to the kitchen and my soup would be right out. After 12 more minutes I gave up and left. I spent over an hour at that table and never had a bite of food. I spoke to the manager (Rhonda I believe ) who said they had a large party and sorry. That moment was the first I had seen her the hour I was there. This place doesnt care about hospitality. Not one waiter made eye contact as I sat there those first 25 minutes. I NEVER saw anyone in charge as far as a supervisor or manager goes. No one checking the room, the outdoor area or bar area. Just waiters walking around in a robotic deer in the headlights look - clearly short staffed. It all starts from the top!!! If management is bad, then wait staff will follow their leader. This was my last night in Phoenix and I was so looking forward to a nice dinner out. What a total disappointment.

I enjoy the food but the service is always a huge disappointment. Im on my work lunch hour so time isnt plentyful like many of the other visitors especially this time of the year. But I go to lunch late to avoid the crowds as much as possible and Im here in the hot record heat when all the visitors are long gone. Yet every time I come in I wait to be acknowledged by the receptionist and then I wait forever to be greeted by my server. A person could really use a drink in the desert. I guess its my own fault for returning, speaks to the usually consistent good enchiladas. Yet a couple just sat down and there server greeted them right away. Maybe its just me they discriminate with or Im just unlucky with servers here. I will have to find a new lunch spot. The table behind me is constantly getting service, my server is missing in action. No refills ever. Place is horrible agree with other reviews!!

This is my second time to the herb box. In respect of full disclosure I was under impressed the first time, and from the many good reviews since, I was hoping the second time around was going to be better. Sadly, it wasnt. Dont get me wrong, not everything was bad. For instance- the service was great. Our server was attentive to our needs and apologetic for the abysmal food. My wife ordered the harvest herb risotto which came out cold the first time and was subsequently replaced by a hot one that was a flavorless mush. We think the chef just threw it in the microwave. My rib eye chimichurri which I ordered medium rare, came out medium well and oh so very salty. Truthfully, they should be embarrassed. The night wasnt a total loss though. Our drinks were good, the service was good and we went to a great cake place next door for dessert.

This restaurant is beautiful and the water front patio is completely romantic. Our waiter was incredibly knowledgeable of the menu items and attentive throughout the evening. The food was 100% mind blowing. I literally cant say one negative thing about the entire experience. The food is completely original and crafted to perfection. It is apparent that a lot of thought and care went into the preparation and overall concept. The prices are very competitive for the area as well, and I was actually quite surprised and pleased. I highly recommend this restaurant and dining experience to everyone!

Great service even when busy. Always interesting food perfectly cooked. Beware this is a semi-lively place. There is a bar on the side of the main dining room that often plays sports. This could be perfect if you want at least half of your party to have direct view of a sports game. Also Google has hours listed for the Herb Box restaurant that close at 6 pm or earlier some days. That is WRONG... the little shop which they also call the Herb Box has shorter hours but not the restaurant which has pretty standard restaurant hours. This was wrong when last checked on June 16, 2015.

I love to go to Sunday brunch and unfortunately Olive and Ivy was very busy. So we decided to go to The Herb Box and our experience was bad! Our waitress was very rude! We ordered our food and I told her we need seperate tickets. She flipped on us and started to visibly be upset. S,he said, we dont do seperate checks for parties of 5 or more....Wow!!!! Ive never heard thart. So I said. Ok just put it in one ticket.we got our fod and it was tasteless!! Never going therrle. I hope they clode down and they put something better there.
