This award-winning restaurant is for serious diners who love beautiful crystal and china, fine service and exquisitely prepared food—and are willing to pay for it. The prix-fixe nine-course menu, including wines, costs around US$159-$189 per person. Award-winning chef Keith Luce was a former sous chef at the White House. The menu changes every two to three weeks to take advantage of what's available in the Herbfarm kitchen gardens and farm, not to mention the sea. Dishes often feature Copper River salmon, Kobe beef, wild native plants and grass-grazed lamb. Open Thursday-Sunday for dinner. Reservations are a must (make them as far in advance as possible), but call to ask about cancellations. Dressy casual. $$$$. Most major credit cards. 14590 N.E. 145th St. (a 30-minute drive from downtown), Woodinville. Phone 425-485-5300. http://www.herbfarm.com.
