Over dit restaurant

  • Goed voor speciale gelegenheden
  • Juweeltje in de wijk
  • Bruisend
Blending classic East Coast culinary traditions with a modern Californian sensibility, Herb & Sea is Chef Brian Malarkey’s venerable companion restaurant to the much-loved Herb & Wood in Little Italy. Quickly becoming one of the most sought-after tables in town, the concept shines with a menu that focuses on simple, clean, bright flavors. Located steps from Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, the vibrant space is housed in a 1920’s art deco building that has been restored to its original glory.

Daily operations are helmed by Executive Chef Aidan Owens. The menu includes a mix of raw bar staples, fresh seafood, meat dishes, and roasted vegetables. A variety of pizzas and pastas round out the offerings, alongside dessert and a dedicated kids’ menu.

The spirits program is bright and playful, emphasizing citrus and floral notes that utilize the same ingredients found on the menu. The wine list offers a similar sense of whimsy, highlighting labels meant to complemen

    Our party of for with a baby in stroller began a little slow on the uptake with the waitstaff. However, after asking the dining room host about it, they were on. We were there for the Mother’s Day Brunch. They had a set menu to choose from — not including cocktails. I ordered a peach Bellini which was quite tasty. My spouse had the Bloody Mary and he enjoyed it too. For starters two of us had the avocado toast on rustic bread with soft cheese crumbleo— so good and perfectly seasoned. Two had the pork belly and polenta, again they completely enjoyed the dishes. For the main it was lobster rolls all around. The lobster lumps were huge and cooked perfectly on soft butter rolls that had been crisped up. The lobster rolls are the stuff of sweet dreams. The sides were roasted, smashed baby potatoes and uber fresh salad greens mix. We ate every bite of every generously portioned sides. So even after a slow start, I have to give a perfect score, and I hope we go again for dinner.

    We love the restaurant and appreciate the fact that it’s here in Encinitas. We found the food to be salty. The avocado toast was salty. The potatoes were salty and even the Caesar salad was high in salt so we left thinking we needed to hydrate, drink lots of water, and rethink what we had to order.  We will come back, but clearly we need less salt in the food …!

    Really good food. Robert was our amazing server who made sure we got everything we wanted. 10/10 for Robert!! This place can get loud! And you should always make reservations. So be ready for a fun and energized experience with flavors that will impress you.

    I don’t think this place is doing anything special outside of Happy Hour. There’s value, space and excitement for that one little hour every night and none of that extends to the dining room at any other time. The host was friendly and staff is maybe too laid back for this kind of dining. We did wait a while at the table for anyone to come. Our server was pleasant but made a few mistakes. Can’t stand when the waiter forgets drinks. Absolutely No Way an app should arrive before drinks and if it does the food runner and the waiter need to lay down some apologies and make it right. It’s lazy. $100 a person and lazy should Never be there. That’s the real thing here, most the reviewers are right, value at Herb and Sea is not there at all. The food is mediocre and far from spectacular. The filets not superb and the whole fish, though quite good, was so salty. Overkill with the sauce on the whole fish. Oysters are good but I can’t compliment the restaurant on opening an oyster. The accoutrements are trash and so over priced. Ambiance is loud and managers and staff pay more attention to certain guests. Clear and obvious. Skip this place unless it’s happy hour or you know they know you from $$, tv or sports. Otherwise they don’t care if you’re there or not. Far superior restaurants in Encinitas let alone the greater San Diego area. Kind of surprised Malarkey is still in business here given his celebrity chef profile. Hopefully Herb and Wood is better.

    The Caesar salad was soaking in dressing and there was no one to pick up plates and refill the water glasses.

    Great location, ambiance and good service. I think it’s a bit overall over priced. I said it was my gf’s bday but it went unnoticed.
