I was looking for a nice restaurant to treat my college student to a nice dinner on parents weekend, and Spoon fit the bill! The atmosphere was casual elegant with candlelight and the service was attentive.
As to the food, I was very impressed, although some dishes shone more than others. The server said that the menu changes frequently, so I don't know if these items are going to be on the menu again, but the kabocha squash soup was delicious and beautifully presented! The wild boar sausage appetizer was not as well received. There was something "off" about the taste of it. The best entree ordered was the dry aged strip and short ribs. I ordered the crispy skin salmon,. which was very good if not particularly memorable. The wines by the glass were delicious.
The desserts were really a highlight of the meal. Each dessert features a particular ingredient, and we tried all four of them: chocolate, apple, pear and butternut squash. The spoon bar was especially decadent. Definitely recommend saving room for dessert!
