- MMandyvipPhiladelphia County •7 reviews5.0Dined 5 days agoOne of the best dining experiences I’ve enjoyed in years. We started with the Buttermilk salad and Hamachi—the hamachi was absolutely unreal. The depth of flavor and lingering taste made this one of the stars of the show. Fantastic. Then we shared the Branzino, Dutch Potatoes, Carrots and Cauliflower. It all played together so well and so seasonally. Every dish was balanced a delicious. Wait staff and overall service was wonderful. Can’t wait to come back!More infoHerb & WoodPrice: Expensive• Californian• Little Italy•4.7
