    We decided to travel north from the south side on a Friday evening not sure what to expect. We were not disappointed. Small intimate and comfortable setting; fantastic service; food was excellent. Really made our Friday night special. Many thanks to the owner, chef and staff for providing such a wonderful “getaway” experience on a chilly Friday night in Chicago. Will go back again!

    Wow. Herb is a true gem in Chicago’s restaurant scene. I’ve been in the city for ten years and love exploring its many amazing culinary offerings. But there are a few really special experiences that stay with me—our dinner at Herb is now one of them. Chef Patty is doing magical things with simple, fresh ingredients. She personally greeted us at our table and guided us through our entire dinner. We went with the full seven course option and it was an incredible journey. Rooted in the delicious flavors of Thai cuisine that make it so popular, every course did something to elevate the experience and add a surprising twist. The plates were visually stunning with balanced flavors. The service was warm and attentive, but never overbearing. It is clear that Chef Patty is passionate about this restaurant, and that comes through in the dishes and the attention to every detail. My favorite dish was the Betal Leaves starter. It was so fresh and unique with a blend of subtle flavors that made us both grin as soon as we put the first one in our mouth. We knew from that first bite we were in for a fun evening. I’ve been to Oriole, Alinea, El Ideas, and many other Chicago culinary heavyweights. Our dinner at Herb was on that level. This place is a must-visit.

    Everything went perfectly except our table was near a door and and a cold breeze was blowing in during our entire dinner. Great dinner and service.

    My husband and I were really looking forward to eating at Herb because of great reviews. As an Asian American, I will admit that the food was very good and well-presented. But there was one server for the entire restaurant, and the busperson had to take our order. Herb was out of lemongrass ginger tea (why not pre-state this when asking what drinks you would like?), pork dish (common to all three non-vegetarian tasting menus), and mango and sticky rice. The lack of pork was an acute problem, as most tables had at least one pork order. So the chef had to go from table to table asking if each diner approved a substitution of beef to the dish. There was so much waiting between courses (two small starters, soup, one entree, dessert) that the meal took 2 hours and 10 minutes.

    Creative, delicate, layered and delicious food, in a rare tranquil setting. Subtle and striking flavors intermingle across the courses. Don’t let the menu intimidate- you will devour it all! Great for conversation, relaxing and enjoying your meal. The service is so kind as to make you feel a neighborhood regular, even if you traveled from out of state!

    Fresh flavors. Small but interesting menu. Portions are on the smaller side and there are some kinks in the service which are quickly forgotten as the team is very pleasant and wants you to enjoy your experience..
