A timeless, sought-after dining escape, celebrated Chef Brian Malarkey opened Herb & Wood to instant acclaim over four years ago. In that time, the restaurant has become an icon, a dining destination that has helped to propel San Diego's culinary reputation to new heights. By focusing on rustic, wood-fired dishes, Chef Malarkey's menu elevates humble ingredients such as carrots, beets, and chicken, incorporating Mediterranean flavors and a California ethos of seasonality and sustainability.

Thanksgiving at our place? Join us for Thanksgiving dinner so you can skip all of the following:⁠

🍂 Scouring the internet for trendy yam recipes⁠
🍁 Wrestling over the biggest turkey in the store⁠
🦃 Digging out the table leaf from the depths of the garage⁠
🍠 Googling how to use a meat thermometer⁠
💋 Dodging that one aunt who insists on a kiss⁠
🍽 And, of course, the mountain of dishes⁠

Just bring the fam, and we’ll take care of the rest. Reservations open—link in bio to book.
