Our Focus.
Every detail matters for the Herb & Wood team. The right music and the perfect temperature; lighting to set the mood; candles on every table; award-winning cuisine, and flexibility in customizing your menu. Our event designers thrive on going the extra mile: no detail goes unnoticed, either in the event planning phase or on the night itself.
We settle for nothing less than flawless - our guests are at the heart of everything we do. Of course, design is as important to us as cuisine. Open and airy, with a grand central bar resting majestically beneath a barrel-vaulted ceiling, Herb & Wood enchants guests as soon as they enter the space.
Our Sister Venues
Animae
Juxtaposing natural elements and architectural lines of the art deco period, Animae sets the stage for a theatrical dining environment. Heavy velvet curtains expose a gilded dining nook, fringed columns rise from the floor, custom lighting snakes through the room.
Herb & Sea
From the sprawling private Moonlight Deck to the elegant West Dining Room, this venue offers unique and unparalleled options. Located steps from Moonlight Beach in surf-happy Encinitas, the vibrant space is housed in a 6,500 square foot 1920’s art deco building.
