overall i really liked spoon. but the appetizer held me back from 5 stars.
we arrived at spoon around 7:30 on a saturday night, so i figured there would be a wait. the next table for two wasn't going to be until 9:30 so we sat at the bar. i had a chianti to drink and it was delectable.
my friend and i decided to split the dim sung tasting as an appetizer. terrible idea. the soup was spicy but boring. the dumpling or whatever it was tasted like a hotdog in a dumpling skin, no joke. and the pork shoulder with cucumber slaw was just okay.
so i was getting nervous when the entree came out. i had the lamb pasta. but i have to say, the appetizer must have just been a fluke because my entree was delicious. the serving size was perfect too... looked small but i felt satisfied when i was finished.
i had just a little room left for dessert, so we split the ice cream tasting: rum raisin, bananas foster, and salted caramel. i loved all three!
our bartender was attentive and friendly. the bill was a little pricey but pretty much exactly what i expected.
