Herbert Samuel Restaurant — Restaurant in Herzliya

I haven't been to this restaurant in a couple of years, and WOW — what a change in the menu, service, and overall experience! The salads were perfect, and the duck, beef, and goose dishes were incredible. The wine selection was excellent. All the waiters were amazing, but I remember only Yonatan - he was very attentive without being intrusive and we had a small chat about dogs and bones))). The hostess was extremely sweet, which is quite rare, many of them are arrogant without a reason. I also appreciated that I wasn't pushed to leave, which made the experience even more enjoyable.

The desserts were good but not quite breathtaking; if they could make them a bit more contemporary, it would feel like a 3-star Michelin experience. I would personally do seasonal desserts like roasted peaches or a fig tart on almond crust, something more about fruits rather than tiramisu which in my opinion does not fit the concept of those amazing Israeli earthy dishes you serve. I understand it’s not easy with kosher desserts... Overall, the new team is amazing—big success, and congratulations! I can’t wait to be back!

Additionally, we were a party of 8, and the food arrived at the same time, hot and with no delays. We had 3 kids at the table and all of them liked the food - almost impossible thing to achieve unless they eat pasta).

I see some people complain about the prices, but hey guys how kosher duck or goose can be cheap? How such a great quality veggies can be cheap? I feel like I finally haven't been "robbed" in Israel and got a real quality for my money.

One last thing, I love your set up. Always did. Those partition walls between the tables, they give you privacy and intimacy but don't make you...

Possibly the most irritating restaurant I’ve ever been to.

The food could be good to very good but it’s let down by the staff who simply have no idea.

The restaurant is loud with many tables divided by constantly moving sliding walls. The deign is poor as all you get is a view of walls and slatted space dividers.

The wine cellar is situation in a wall display like fridge where staff keep coming to slide large glass doors next to you. Irritating.

The worst is the poor coordination of staff and kitchen.

You are rushed to make a pre dinner drinks order only for the drinks to arrive half way first course. The first course came within 5 mins which mean most likely pre-prepared and without any knowledge if you are sharing or not.

The second course arrived half way though the first only to be taken away and brought back after a rushed table resetting and rushed first course; and came back fridge cold! We were also offered food we had not ordered! We were offered free dessert to compensate for a complete shambles.

The whole experience is utterly disappointing and will never return

There are so many better places eat.

Sorry a complete...

Service in general was very attentive and great. The restaurant itself did not look fancy at all, was kind of run down, definitely not a high end look and definitely didn't match the high end food.

Food was great, except the roast ribs dish which would have been nice for a home cooked meal but was nothing special for a restaurant.

What really annoyed me is the restaurant is super stingy with pricing and stuff. The dips did not come with bread which is extremely strange, we had to buy the bread separately which came with this olives and olives oil side. We asked for a little more bread for the dips we ordered and they charged us twice for bread but didn't even give us more of the olives. When we asked for water for the table they didn't give us an option for tap water and charged us for a bottle of water. It just seemed like they wanted to charge for every little thing and it was off putting. Been to a lot of fancy places and I have never been charged for asking for a little more bread to finish off the dips.

Overall disappointed with all the...
