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

Expect vibrant dishes like Aidan’s Local Rock Cod Crudo with orange, sour grape, pickled mustard seed, and castlefranco, alongside Dudley's Baja Kanpachi Crudo with lime leaf ponzu, radish, and bay leaf oil. The two will also come together to create exclusive, one-night-only dishes that merge their distinct coastal influences. Join us for an evening where L.A. meets Encinitas, a celebration of sustainable and ingredient-driven cooking.

We used to come here a lot during Covid and it was the best we ever had. We came back a few times in the past couple years and it was never the same and not as good. HOWEVER, we heard they changed chefs and the menu was different so we decided to try again. THANK YOU HERB AND SEA!!! You are back to your top notch self and impressed us greatly!! What a fantastic dining experience. We will be back again.

We ordered the halibut and it took over 45 minutes between the appetizer and was soo over cooked and dry that we had to send it back. By that time we just wanted our check and go home. No one from management stopped by to ask us how they could change our mind. What a bummer! Was looking forward to eating here for a long time!!

This was our second time in the restaurant. We shared the beets in a pistachio butter with pickled onions, absolutely amazing, i hope this will be a staple on the menu, I wanted to lick the bowl clean. We also shared roasted carrots with cashew sesame relish and Aleppo yogurt, also amazing, my husband’s favorite. My husband ordered chorizo pizza with green apple. He asked to have it crispy as he hates floppy pizza and it was crispy and delicious. I had seabass with jalapeño yoghurt, great combination and not spicy at all. I love how the chef mixes unexpected flavors with delicious results. We did not try any desert as we were already too full. Service was attentive and very pleasant. We will definitely return.

Amazing dinner tonight at Herb and Sea! Can't go wrong with the Muscle toast, the carrots and the Sea bass. Cocktails were on point. Service was excellent, we had Andrea as our server and she was fantastic! Can't wait to go back!

Had high expectations as I was there with a few local friends who are regulars. But the sea bass was dry and overcooked to the point of being charred in the outside. So that was pretty disappointing. The appetizers were great though.

The entire experience was wonderful. We went to dine for my wife's birthday. We arrived early and asked if we could be seated. The hostess accommodated and we were sat near the kitchen. Which my son enjoyed, because he could see the "magic". The cocktails were delicious. Appetizer of Roasted Oysters and Bone Marrow was fantastic. The breadcrumbs on the oysters was fun. I ordered the Shrimp Linguine, my son ordered the Rigatoni, my wife ordered the Halibut. All were delicious and perfectly cooked. Even the breadcrumbs added to each dish. Which was interesting, since they were on the Appetizer. Okay. No big deal. For dessert, we ordered the Chocolate, (it wasn't a cake. More like a pie?) It was tasty, my wife and son said. But, far too sweet for me. There was salt added to the top of the chocolate, which was okay, but made it bitter. The restaurant even provided a small ice cream with a birthday candle. That was sweet and awesome. The only thing was, there were the breadcrumbs again. The same ones from the appetizer and the entrees. Once was cute and tasty. Twice was interesting. A third time was a little overkill and made it fall flat. All in all, the evening was great. My wife was so happy. We all were. Thank you.
