We had a great meal at Herb Lyceum. It's a great atmosphere-the grounds are beautiful and the building is rustic and filled with interesting items. The food was great, the chef came and explained each course and the waitstaff was helpful and interesting.

Dinner was amazing, the grounds were beautiful, so nice to walk around before dinner and see the open grill where food was cooking. Wait staff was friendly and efficient and the chefs gave descriptions of each course. The swordfish main, the pork app and corn ice cream were imo the stars of the show but the whole thing was really perfect. Not a single complaint.

This was a wonder place to go to celebrate a special occasion. The food was amazing, I loved that the chef comes out between each course to tell us about the next course.

Pre-fix meal set in a communal setting. Courses were described by both working chefs/ owners. Staff was knowledgeable and performed excellent silent service while being affable when asked "curiosity" questions. We were there to celebrate my wife's birthday. Cost included gratuity, one wine pairing and service fees. Expensive, but ultimately a very fine value. We will do this again and encourage others to visit the venue.

What an absolutely fabulous dining experience. The food combinations were surprising and delicious! Who would have thought that roasted corn ice cream would be to die for? First went to the Herb Lyceum about 20 or more years ago when the original chef - Gilson son, Will Gilson, was just a teenager with a gift for preparing phenomenal meals for his guests. The charm then, and now, although Will has moved on to be the owner of several restaurants now, was the chefs joining you for each course, explaining the pairings, etc. A truly delightful evening!!! And the cost is incredibly low considering the incredible quality of he meal! Even my Big Apple guest who has access to some of the finest restaurants in the world in NYC was blown away! Simply love this place!!! Can't recommend it highly enough!
