Frequently Asked Questions
Valentines!
Do I need a reservation a year in advance?
It’s always wise to plan ahead. But this year, Valentine’s is on Tuesday. So (so far!) reservations have been more evenly spread over the preceding weekend. In general, Valentine’s and the closest Saturday tend to book up first.
Please give us a call at 425-485-5300 and let us help you make your reservation. Our reservationists are ready to help you 7 days of the week between 10 and 5 Pacific time.
If a day is full, is there a waiting list?
We still have some availability for most days during Valentine’s week, especially if you can come as a party of 3 or 4 or would like to share the fun with others at our European Common Table.
If a day looks full, we’re pleased to help you out by putting you on a waiting list. People do cancel unexpectedly, and we’ll call you just as soon as there’s an opening.
How else can you help me celebrate Valentine’s?
Consider giving a thoughtful Gift Certificate to your loved one on Valentine’s Day for an upcoming and equally fabulous night at The Herbfarm this winter or spring.
A personalized Herbfarm Gift Certificate is a gift you’ll be thanked for twice: once when you give it and again (but even more!) when you’ve both experienced a truly magical evening at The Herbfarm.
