| - My experience can best be summed up as: underwhelming.
I'm going to preface this by saying that I'm going to try to give Spoon the benefit of the doubt, hope they were having an 'off' night, and try 'em again..sometime. But, for now, I'm a staunch 3-starrer.
We decided to dine here on a random Tuesday evening. There were a few other tables inhabited by an elderly man and his buxom 20-something date (way too much cleav to be his granddaughter, for realz), and a few 40-something groups that were rather loudly discussing things affluent or wannabe-affluent people discuss (islands to vacation on, etc.). I wasn't real into that, but whatevs. Spoon can't tell them to STFU, after all.
We were seated by one of the big windows in the section to the right of the entrance, and as I turned around to look out that window, I noticed a thick layer of dust on the sill, as well as several dead flies. Yuck. Not appetizing to say the least. Then, I looked at the fire exit door, which was right behind my bf (we were wedged into a corner two top). There were lines of grease (WD 40?) running down the door. Kiiiinda gross. So, I didn't love that.
Our waitress was pretty good, although quite wide-eyed and speaking super fast, like she was on amphetamines, haha. Regardless, she gave us the time we needed and food came out correctly, so service was solid.
Now, as for the food... The 'bacon and eggs' was rad. Love me some pork belly, and theirs did not disappoint! The egg, hollandaise, and asparagus all complemented the pork perfectly. Oh, and yes, like errybody said - those cheesy biscuits are AWESOME. However, the main courses were merely meh.
My bf got the salmon and I got the pasta. He said his salmon was just "not that great", and he didn't finish his meal, which is rare, especially because he loves salmon. My pasta was in a cream sherry sorta sauce, and I love those kinda sauces, but it was just so bland. Plus, the micro greens on top both annoyed me (Grow up, micro greens! I don't need any hoity toity baby leaves.), and competed with the flavor of the sauce (what little there was, at least) rather than complementing it.
In short: I just wasn't that into it. My leftovers came home with me and wound up hanging out in the fridge until I tossed 'em out on garbage night. And few things suck more than dropping over $120 on a Tuesday night dinner you wind up chucking. I'm hoping my next Spoon experience isn't the same!
