Everything was great, except that we didn’t know their whole day was going to be a brunch menu due to Mother’s Day special event. The food was still amazing but I was expecting dinner food on the menu, not brunch.

We recently came here for Mother's Day. I made the reservation looking at the regular menu, then I was told it's a special menu. I didn't look as appealing but I just wanted my mom to enjoy it. We ordered the pizza, steak and eggs, eggs Benedict and the burrata salad. The eggs Benedict was made with prosciutto it was a little too salty for me with all the prosciutto. The sauce was delicious, different because it wasn't hollandaise sauce. The burrata salad was goo too the sweet walnuts were delicious. My mom loved the pizza she didn't speak to anyone, and my dad enjoyed the steak as well. According to him the Lychee Martini was really good too. Katie our server was AMAZING!! She didn't show any signs of being irritated to all my pickiness.She was really understanding. The only negative was they had live entertainment so it was hard to have a conversation. We still had fun and will definitely come here again.

Took my wife and kids for mothers day. Food was extremely overpriced for what you get. $29 for a two a egg omelette with a few pieces of snow crab and a few spoons of potatoes. $17 for ricotta pancakes and $26 for a waffle with fried chicken on top. Food taste was average. Not bad just not a thing memorable. Service was friendly and decor was really nice. Overall, probably wouldn’t go again.

Herringbone has such nice ambiance, the service is really great and they check on you often. The food was delicious, the Black Cod in curry was a crowd favorite for our table (the coconut curry has a great depth in flavor) and of course the oysters were delicious. It is a bit pricey, but I think that is expected with quality seafood and the environment is beautiful, so definitely worth it! Definitely would recommend checking Herringbone out.

I wanted to love Herringbone but my service was so lackluster it didn't feel like a treat. The food and drink was very good, and I loved the ambience. Unfortunately, my server was not very friendly and I didn't feel welcomed. It kind of took away from what was supposed to be a celebratory night. I know that places are understaffed, so I would definitely try it again and hope for a better experience.

The service and ambiance were very good, but the food was terrible, especially for the price we paid. The fish in the fish and chips was undercooked and over-salted, and the pizza was soggy in the center and also much too seasoned with salt.

Great atmosphere, lively, staff was very attentive and the meal couldn’t have been better. Three of us shared the Calamari then the 14 ounce New York steak with arugula salad. Finished off with the Lava cake…..Minka! Was that delicious without being overwhelming. We all agreed it was a 5 star experience and meal. Robert, our waiter was tops!

The restaurant is attractive. Our cocktails were good but we ordered Fish and Chips and the breaded fish was quite soggy. We mentioned this to our waiter and he removed it from our bill. We will try the restaurant again and hopefully receive better food.

We went in Easter and unfortunately the food wasn’t very good, lacked flavor and those extra touches, for example bread was served with the omelette but it was served toasted and completely dry, no butter or jam offered. Sadly, no one in our party liked their meal, very disappointing.

Food delivery was very disjointed. There was a 45 minute between courses. We continually told food is coming in two minutes and it never did. Everyone around us was getting their food and finishing and leaving as we were still waiting. We were told it’s a new menu and new chef. Well, we finally asked for our check and left before our main courses came. The new chef better get the kitchen in order. I will never return and will let all my friends know as well.

Great place! There was a line forming before they opened. I'm so glad we made reservations! They sat us indoors next to the tree, which was perfect. Also in view was the kitchen. Our waiter was okay, checked in on us every once in awhile and always refilled our waters. Food was just okay, nothing that really stood out. What made it extra special, was their little surprise ice cream with a candle for the birthday boy! Not expected, highly appreciated it!!! Overall, I think you come here for the ambiance. It's beautiful inside!!!

Disappointing-especially for the price point. Quick to seat us and take our order. However, the cod was tiny with 3 sad bits of bok choy in some watery broth for $36! The lobster roll was good. We were sat outside on the pavement so can’t speak to inside ambience. The server forgot about us and we waited over 20 minutes for our bill. Would not recommend or return.

Herringbone seems to have lost some of its shine over the past few years. Maybe COVID has taken its toll? It used to be so special, a place like no other with a menu that always surprised and enticed. It seems more ordinary now. The food was good, don't get me wrong. But it wasn't unique the way it used to be.

Food: I ordered the Branzino and my daughter had mussels. She enjoyed her dinner, but my fish appeared to have been waiting under the heat lamp for a while. Have had this fish before elsewhere, and did not enjoy it here at all. Service: Server was inattentive and perfunctory. Had to flag down a different server 2x to get our server back in order to place food order and to get the check. Did not enhance our experience at all by being friendly or welcoming. Ambiance: Very pretty inside. It was a bit chilly that night, so wish they had heat lamps more distributed and/or heating turned up a bit.

We reserved outside seating, which was just seating on the sidewalk right next to the front door. Service was not great, we felt like we were forgotten and were within 5 minutes from leaving when the waiter came back to take our order. We asked for a heat lamp which made it much better. The food was good. But from the reviews and photos we were expecting a lot more.

Our actual server wasn’t attentive. Salad was drenched in too much olive oil. The only thing I really appreciated was the gentleman who came to fix our wobbly table. Music was way too loud and didn’t t match the ambience of the restaurant.
