Fine dining in Herzliya, Israel?

[MSK]

We will be visiting our student son in march who, I am convinced, has been surviving on pasta and schwarma.

Any recommendations for dining establishments where we can do it up right??

Segev is probably the best for fine dining. Joya is also good for Italian. Sitara in the Mandarin Hotel has good food and sea views. Rocca is a good place for drinks to enjoy the spectacular ocean view, but don't eat there. The last meal we had there was so awful (including a piece of sharp plastic in one of our dishes) we swore never to come back.

So here's where we found ourselves for our 5 nights.
We were even directed to the Israeli vesion of Opentable.
Some of these restaurants are in Tel Aviv:

Dallal in Neve Tsedek
(Italian but we went on Greek Night) - great food, great fun!

Tapeo Tappas in th Business/Industrial area of Herzliya - Shenkar 9,
(I find out now it's a chain??)

Hotel Montefiori - in the heart of TLV - White City
excellent Vietnamese inspired French Bistro style. Pricey but well excecuted

All had great food and great energy. Fun!

Lucca is located in the Marina and I cannot necessarily recommend it. Not bad but nothing to write home about.

All the Eateries (bakery, chocolatier, deli, coffee) around Maskit were worth a visit.
My son loves Benedict in Pituach for breakfast but we did not have a chance to go.

Kyoto Japanese - also in the Industrial area
excellent sushi and other Asian idshes
