Okay - the decor is nice but that's the only positive about the Spice Route.
Here's how our night went :
Arrived 10 minutes before our reservation - snotty hostess tells us we have to wait and our other guests are at the bar - does not offer to take our coats or walk us to the bar
Get to the bar - ignored by the bartenders (not busy) for over 10 minutes, ask about wine - trust me you don't want to know their response. Drinks arrived one at a time...
I noticed a sketchy looking male standing by a glass door - he's waring baggy black jeans, a bomber jacket and a cap of some sort - since when do fine dining establishments have club doorman inside at smoking entrances ( had to wonder "what his real job was and what he was selling")
Another 10 minutes later and we are seated -no one offers to take our drinks to our table. Next our chairs are so high compared to the table height our knees scrape the table's "under" this is followed by a menu so dark it would be hard to read if there was light never mind the fact we are sitting in the dark ...can they not afford electricity??
As you can see the whole experience has not been good and I haven't even got to the food yet - the food was bland and tasteless. Our waitress told us to order only four dishes as this would be more than enough for the four of us....boy was this incorrect.
Starting at about 10pm they start turning the lights down more and the music up loud so we must shout to hear one another - and the crowd that begins to be allowed...hoodlums and dancing girls - I guess "For your Eyes Only"
I recommend you don't waste your time and skip the Spice Route!
