| - Came here recently on a date with my husband! We enjoyed our time here at Spice and thought everything was pretty solid. Spice has a wonderful vision and mission to use as much local goods as possible. Turns out Ohio is a great place to do this with all our amazing local farms!
Our favorite appetizer was a special: fresh halibut chowder with lobster oil. MM. It was good! Please make this a regular menu item! The flavor was really great. 5 for the chowder.
We also had a 3 local-mushroom pesto flatbread with goat cheese. The mushrooms were oyster, chantrelle, and one more I can't remember...the mushrooms were fresh and good tasting. 4 for the flatbread.
I ordered the Spice Acres Polenta with ratatouille and eggplant puree, which I think was a vegan dish. The polenta was fried rather than creamy, a good complement to the puree and ratatouille. The eggplant had a pretty strong flavor, but it was intriguing enough to keep eating.
My husband ordered the special - fresh trout (that day!) with sweet potato puree. This was amazing!!! They gave him the entire fish -- something you don't see very often except in authentic Chinese restaurants (mmm). I loved that they did this because I feel that we were able to enjoy every aspect of the fish, from the regular filet to the cheeks, etc. It was also served like someone had just caught it, fried it up, and served it. So great.
Overall, we enjoyed our time. One thing I noted..they don't give complimentary bread, so be sure to order some appetizers if you are coming in hungry. Other than that, be enjoy the local and fresh dishes!
