Blending classic East Coast culinary traditions with a modern Californian sensibility, Herb & Sea is Chef Brian Malarkey’s venerable companion restaurant to the much-loved Herb & Wood in Little Italy. Quickly becoming one of the most sought-after tables in town, the concept shines with a menu that focuses on simple, clean, bright flavors. Located steps from Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, the vibrant space is housed in a 1920’s art deco building that has been restored to its original glory.

Daily operations are helmed by Executive Chef Aidan Owens. The menu includes a mix of raw bar staples, fresh seafood, meat dishes, and roasted vegetables. A variety of pizzas and pastas round out the offerings, alongside dessert and a dedicated kids’ menu.

The spirits program is bright and playful, emphasizing citrus and floral notes that utilize the same ingredients found on the menu. The wine list offers a similar sense of whimsy, highlighting labels meant to complemen

Been to 2 other restaurants with the same owners. The others were much better! Uncomfortably loud! Food was too spicy and full of canola oil! We will not be back!

We loved everything about this restaurant. Our dinners were fabulous. Service was impeccable, but friendly. We loved it even more when we learned that the chef orders directly from and supports our local fishermen, and vegetables are from our local farms and vegetable gardens.

Disappointing. The bone marrow was amazing and setup what I thought would be a great meal. The mains were too busy and out of balance. Filet was salty, carrots were over sauced and smokiness of the pork combated with a riata that was too sour. Overall, the price of the meal was out of step with the service and product delivered. It’s a nice place with friendly people, our meal was likely just a miss.

Mulvaney's eclectic style was prominent. The Roasted Carrots veggie was incredible, topped with pistachios and fresh herbs. Our favorite dish was the Barramundi Ristoto. The fish had a crispy well well-seasoned skin layer, and the cook was perfect, leaving it moist in the middle. The level of spice with the risotto left me pleasantly surprised. The Gnocchi was layer with pesto. A generous portion but a single note for flavor. It would have been better to share as an appetizer and not the main. The Tuscan Ragu was tasty and a large portion. Our server Tosh was very attentive and really knew the menu and ingredients within each dish.

Miss the crab linguini. Service pretty slow last night. Pork brisket was very good, but over all not firing on all cylinders compared to first few years.

The appetizer I wanted was not available. The halibut my husband had was over cooked and dry. The waiter was ok but not exceptional. The mussel toast was amazing!! We ate at the sister restaurant Hearn & Wood, two days and it was A++ while Herb & Sea was a C-
