text: Hate to say it, but I just didn't love it.   There, I've said it.  After tasting the mushroom risotto appetizers at Yelp's Birthday event, I couldn't wait to come to Herb Box for lunch.\n\nThe restaurant has a nice layout with a dine-in area, a little market, and a patio in between.  We sat inside and started with the market cheese board.  There was only one cheese selection, I expected there to be at least two for some reason, but it was delicious--brie with a caramel-like sauce (fig, I think).  I also had the grilled chicken and sage pesto sandwich with goat cheese and bacon.  It was good, but it wasn't an \"OMG, this is the best sandwich I've ever had moment.\"  I really think serving it warm would bring out the flavors.  Worth $12?  I think not.  Sweet potato chips were a plus!\n\nWhere they really lose points with me was service.  Not terrible, but definitely left a lot to be desired.  I had to ask for utensils and napkins.  Also, she offered a box for half my sandwich and left the room, but came back empty-handed.  Empty hand, empty head.\n\nJust okay for me.  But I might have to have a party for one catered just to get those appetizers again!
