DC Ranch Market Street Location... So my wife, kids, and I were in town visiting friends we hadn't seen in awhile and they brought us here. Their choices for restaurants are usually spot on though I must say The HERB BOX was a huge disappointment. Being apart of The Slow Food movement I expected more. The only thing SLOW was the service and smiles. In a shopping center where stores are closing down left and right a smile can go a long way. Instead we were ignored by the hostess who finally when deciding to realize that we were waiting for a table excused herself to locate us a place to sit on the patio. Mind you it was a Saturday and the patio was empty (sign of the times, or the food and service?). She then returned 10 minutes later surprised to see us still waiting for a table. Her attitude towards us because of having young children with us was appalling. It's a Cafe/Bistro not a 3 star Michelin restaurant that only serves dinner! My 4 year olds manners are better than hers are. The food was also nothing exceptional, panini shouldn't take 30 minutes when there are no other people at the restaurant except wannabe socialites sitting at the bar patio side. I would definitely not recommend this restaurant to anyone. What a shame!!! The HERB BOX will probably be the next store to close down in the DC Ranch Market street shopping center.
