Reviews for Herb & Bitter Public House in Seattle, WA
Suggest by my little sister and pleasantly surprised. Small but powerful menu. Service food and drinks were superb. Worth the... drive or walk!! Read more
Some of the best food I've ever had, the burrata and pear salad which is pictured below was a surprise delight. Also very... sizable portions which was nice. Service was sparse at times, partly because the party of 7 sitting next to us wanted separatechecks, but our server was very friendly and cool. Read more
This is a great place to order all the little things. EVERTHING is good here. I adore the back solarium which they open up in... the summer. Impeccable cocktails and food preparation. Delightful and delicious! Read more
What an amazing delightful experience we had! The food was outstanding! We got the Zucchini Fritters, Saffron Arancini and... smoked salmon puffs... and what a delight! I loved the large crusted parmesan sheet on top of the arancini. Staff is awesome andatmosphere is rockin'! Read more
The Food was decent and the Cocktails were great. The Aranchini balls were not great, the Zucchini fritters were really good. I... would definitely return to try their mains. Definitely recommend making advance reservations! Check @AWorldOnMyPlate onInstagram for more seattle based content. Read more
Food was really good. But we had reservations for Valentine’s Day at 7 pm. We arrive at 6:55 and there was a line outside on... the sidewalk to get in. The line was comprised of people who had reservations. The host came out and said the kitchen is beingslow and claimed that everyone showed up at the same time and there wasn’t room for all of us. As tables were cleared we allgot in bit by bit. We got seated at 7:40 pm. 40 minutes after our reservation time. It’s clear that something happened thatnight (someone didn’t show up, over booked the reservations). I will definitely come back in the future on a non-busy night.Until then, I won’t trust going back with a reservation. Read more
What a disappointment! I've walked by this place a lot while living on the hill and it always looked like such a cool spot. My... friends and I finally tried it last week and it was a major let down. First we were there before the crowds at 4 in theafternoon on a Thursday and our server barely had the tolerance to deal with being a server, even for post COVID standards. Herbody language screamed she hated being a server. Eye rolls, tone of voice, everything. What's crazy is it was not busy yet. Atone point, a different server came by to check on us and she was so much better. Our table joked saying, "How do we get *her* tobe our server instead? The other one is truly terrible." For the cocktails: OVER PRICED AND WATERED DOWN! My friend's OldFashioned was half the amount it should be for the price. If you look at the photo I posted, that's how it came to the tablebefore he even had a sip. Not good, even for expensive Seattle bars. My Egg Nog Cocktail was literally watered down (thinkwatered down milk for toddlers kind of level) and had a ton of ice in the glass, which is weird for a dairy based cocktail, andthe rim was sugar, way too sweet for an already sweet cocktail. I had to switch to a beer on tap for fear all the cocktails weremade so poorly. In fact, the entire table switched to beer because of this reason. And it was expensive for the quality! Thefood was ok, but not worth the price. Two of us ordered the Lamb Pasta and while one dish had a ton of parmesan on top, theother had barely any. When they set it on the table side by side, we looked at each other like "seriously? Our server doesn'teven care enough to call it out to the kitchen before bringing it to the table?" So quality control is clearly an issue alongwith service. The only thing it had going for it was the atmosphere. But it's still not so cool it's worth spending the moneyon average food, bad cocktails, and terrible service. We have a lot of patience for restaurants and bars post Read more
Tremendous bar and amazing bartenders. If you go a bit earlier in the evening you can get a specific drink made for you, and... interact with the bartenders! 5-star for sure! Read more
