Update: Herbsaint lunch review

Herbsaint for sure. After lunch stroll down to the Swizzle Stick Bar and get a great cocktail or 7.

Herbsaint is the easy answer. Hitting on all cylinders.

We walked in at around 11:45 and there was plenty available seating. The hostess was on the phone never acknowledging our presence as we stood by the door for a few minutes when finally a server walked up to seat us, this pissed me off right away. When our server arrived he had to read the daily specials off of his note pad and had no knowledge of the cocktails, again not very pleased with this. Furthermore he was pretty nonexistent throughout the meal and I actually had to get another server to take our dessert order and get our check. I started my meal with the chicken gumbo which was very well seasoned however it only had about two small pieces of chicken meat. For the main course I had the tuna sandwich which came with a side of greens dressed in a vinaigrette and home made chips. The sandwich itself was loaded with large pieces of tuna on olive bread with tomato, arugula, and an aeoli and was delicious. The other two dishes ordered were the goat salad with goat feta and the gnocchi. Both parties said their dishes were good with one saying their goat was overcooked. For dessert the table had the coconut tart with orange caramel and chocolate ice cream. The dish as a whole was overpowered by the acidity of the orange caramel and I could barely pick up a hint of coconut in the tart. Overall I was very disappointed by my experience since this place has received so much fanfare both on this board and other websites.
