| - I feel obligated to write a review on here since we went on a weeknight, and then the very next night went to Mindful and had an absolutely terrible experience, and I reviewed Mindful.
We went to Spoonwood on a Thursday night as mentioned, and it was happy hour, so of course we had to wait for a table. However, it didn't look that crowded, and so I think that's where my biggest issue with this place comes in: there is SO much usable space that is just left empty. For example, the tables are so far spaced apart, and second, the odd barrels in the front of the restaurant look cool, but I have trouble comfortable sitting at them to eat, as did my over 6-foot tall husband. However, the drinks made up for the awkward seating choice, and eventually, we were too content to get up and move or notice any longer.
We ordered the plain ol burger (husband) and the margherita pizza (me) and all in all we were both extremely happy with our choices. Although our waitress left us hanging with empty beers and waiting to order dinner for far too long, our food came out in just under ~8 minutes, which made up for it. Notching a couple stars due to the awkward barrel seating, and the fact that we ordered the pretzels with beer cheese appetizer and the pretzels were definitely pre-frozen and heated up - not good for a $9 appetizer.
All in all, a much better experience at Spoonwood than Mindful Brewing down the road the night after. I will definitely be back to Spoonwood in the near future, and will most likely order the pizza again.
