My review is very similar to KA's. I've been going to Spices for years, more frequently at first (at least weekly, sometimes more often) and less so as time goes on. I've decided to stop naively hoping that things will go back to the way they were. I used to get the same few things and they were always reliably delicious. There's nothing like going to a place where you know you're going to get exactly what you want, made the same way every time. The last few times that I've gone, including today for my mom's birthday lunch (her request), the food has been substandard. The salad has been gritty (sand, dirt?) and today the Garden of Eden dressing was just plain wrong.
I'm so sad that this place has lost the spark that made it so special. I'm not sure if it's the constant change in staff or what but it's too bad, really. :'(
