Spice is an excellent establishment, and brings a lot to both our bellies and city. Great food and knowledgeable staff, perhaps the best of each in the western hemisphere (at least west of the Cuyahoga).
I'm a big fan of the Steelhead flat bread - delicious cured salmon, local mixed greens and lemon drizzle.
The atmosphere is elegant enough to feel like a "special" place, however also casual enough to avoid any sense of pretension. I imagine this balance will prove attractive to a more diverse customer base than more explicitly formal venues like Crop on Lorain.
Their emphasis on local and sustainable sources for their ingredients (as well as only serving dishes based in seasonally-growing options) ensures you won't be eating the usual processed foods or anything from too far away (distance-wise). The entrees taste made with love, rather than haste.
I highly recommend Spice and expect great things as word of mouth gains momentum! Looking forward to the spring menu!
