| - Let me tell you something about Spoon....
It doesn't really matter what I order as long as they keep giving me those cheese-filled cheese breads in the bread basket. Those things are to DIE for.
To back track a bit on what I said... it probably also doesn't matter what I order, since they all sound, look, and taste good.. from the orders we've made.
Having ordered the scallops and pork two ways (there are quite a few items on the menu that are "two ways"... and there's even a dessert item that was "three ways"), I was a little surprised by the negative space on my square plate (and most people would solve that by giving you a smaller plate), but it seems they do it for the presentation. Tender and delicious.. and just enough for me. I loved my entree (and the second helping of cheese-filled cheese breads they brought by... mmmm).
Even with a bit of dim lighting (which, you know, I'm not too hot about if it gets in the way of my food oggling), I actually found it a little cozy with good food, good company, drinks, and soft music. The service was excellent. I really liked our server, who answered to our whims (more cheese-filled bread, please!). I also feel guilty in saying that we probably overstayed our welcome. (We were there past closing, and I think the host was the only one left... by the time we took our leave.) They never rushed us with anything or asked us to leave, however.
Entrees range about $20-$40 per plate... so, all told, it's either all for a nice date.. or for a more upscale night out with a few friends at a fairly comfortable spot (with some cheese-filled cheese bread).
Aside from the cost, which may burn holes through pockets if I were to ever become a regular (but, first, I'd have to live there)... the only other problem seems to be trying to find street parking at night.
PS. o-m-g. This marks my 200th review. :o It's awesome to find I'm reviewing a place I hearted for a mile marker.
