The decor of Herb & Bitter Public House is a fusion of modern and vintage elements, taking large consideration in using salvaged building materials, antiques and contemporary raw building supplies. A year-round retractable glass conservatory covers the 1000 square foot patio. String lighting illuminates the European café style setting.
The comprehensive spirits program is progressive and centered around Italian Amari. The overall menu concept is diverse and eclectic with seasonal plates . We incorporate many cuisines and world flavors into dishes that are house-made with as many local, and sustainable ingredients as possible; taking into consideration dietary needs such as gluten-free, dairy-free, vegetarian and vegan.
Owner and Entrepreneur: Jesus Escobar

Excellent service and food. Cocktails were creative and the beer on tap was great. The tiger prawn risotto was a bit salty. Our service took it away and brought a new one which was just right. And he said I took off a couple of drinks from your menu. Will definitely go back to try other items. Only warning is the parking in the area. The small lot we parked at charges $25 plus tax. Find street parking if you can.

we were in the restaurant for 45 minutes before we got any food at all. ffs, if the kitchen is taking that long, at least bring us bread. the food we eventually got was overly salty and not that good. it was okay and we ate it. that pretty much sums it up. i thought making a reservation for 90 minutes before a concert five minutes away would leave us with plenty of time, but we arrived at the venue ten minutes before the concert start time.

We had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant recently, and I must say, it exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we stepped inside, we were welcomed with a warm, inviting atmosphere that made us feel right at home. The ambiance was perfect—elegant yet relaxed, with just the right balance of energy and comfort. Whether you're looking for a spot to enjoy a romantic evening or a casual dinner with friends, this place delivers the perfect setting. The food was truly exceptional. Every dish we ordered was crafted with care, attention to detail, and a burst of flavor. You can tell the kitchen uses fresh, high-quality ingredients, and the menu offers a wide variety of choices that cater to different tastes. From appetizers to desserts, each plate was not only visually appealing but also packed with vibrant flavors. We left feeling full and incredibly satisfied, yet already planning our next visit to try more items from their impressive menu. The service was another highlight of our experience. The staff was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring we had everything we needed throughout the meal. They really went above and beyond to make our evening special. It's not often you find a restaurant that excels in all three categories—food, service, and ambiance—but this one hit the mark perfectly. In short, our dining experience here exceeded all expectations. If you're in the area and looking for a memorable meal, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won’t be disappointed!
