Spoon just proves that East Liberty is neighborhood in the midst of revitalization. Spoon itself is split into a restaurant and a lounge area. Currently, the lounge area offers an intimate bar setting and a limited appetizer menu (although there are burgers S-W). The restaurant has a full menu, and includes a wide variety of items sourced from local growers.
My friends and I uniformly thought that the food was fantastic, and the presentation was good. I took a look at the wine list, as well, and the selection is decent, although not outstanding, but more importantly, the prices are reasonable.
We had no problem getting a table on a weeknight, and I would recommend this as a good place to take a date or get an after-work drink.
