Is Herb Farm still worth the effort with new chef? If not, what would be a good choice for a taste of nthe Pacific Northwest.

    there are a few other places to have a PNW dining experience .. Sitka & Spruce (if you don't mind the wait, the location, the decor), Union, Lark come to mind immediately ...

      I have not been to the Herb Farm since Jerry left, but he is opening his own restaurant downtown this summer. Might be worth it to wait for that, and I guarantee the price tag won't be so steep.

        Jerry's restaurant will be on Cap Hill and will be Indian inspired cuisine so I doubt it will be an instead of the Herb Farm. I've heard good things about the new chef, he does have big shoes to fill though.

          i don't think the food will be indian inspired, only the style of plating. the interview i read said it will be local focus for flavor, but a specific platter type style of dining he experienced in india.
