| - Décor and quality of ingredients deserve 5 Stars, so why am I only giving it 3 stars?....
As soon as I walked in I was very impressed with the tasteful atmosphere of Little Spoon. It has a very pleasant and chill vibe to it. The menu is limited which they attribute to only using what ingredients are available locally. I can appreciate that. But the menu is really Very limited.
We settled on two dishes to split as we weren't overly hungry. We got the vegetable pappardelle and the BLT. I also ordered an unsweetened iced tea. 30 minutes later our food finally arrived. The restaurant was only half full so why it took so long is beyond me. Our server was very nice and attentive. But something was backing the kitchen up. Anyway...
When our food came I was extremely impressed with the presentation. Absolutely beautiful! The "pappardelle" was thinly sliced root veggies that were fried like chips. They were tasty. A really nice starter. The BLT looked amazing, and for $18 it sure needs to! That may be the most expensive sandwich that I have ordered, ever. I've lived in NYC, San Francisco, and Chicago. And even in those food focused and much more expensive cities, I never ordered a sandwich anywhere that was nearly that expensive. And it didn't come with any sides. The bread was thick and looked like toasty goodness. The bacon was some of the thickest slices that I have very seen. There was bright bib lettuce, a purple heirloom tomato, a fried egg, and an herbed aioli! Lifted this glorious sandwich to my mouth preparing for a culinary orgasm!!!.... and tasted.... Nothing. How, HOW, it is possible to make such a perfect combination of top notch ingredients so bland is beyond me. I was confused, momentarily fearing that I had lost my sense of taste. I quickly popped another veggie chip into my mouth to confirm that my taste buds were indeed still functional and took another bite of this picture worthy sandwich and thought "NO! How can this be that I taste almost nothing!!!". I am still confused by how it is possible to make something so devoid of flavor. As we were departing the waitress asked if I wanted an iced tea to go, which I thought was a very nice touch.
$33 dollars later for a sandwich and chips I was up and outta there. To sum it up: Great décor and presentation. Friendly wait staff. Slow kitchen. Very limited menu. Forgettable food. Very high prices. I was really looking forward to trying Little Spoon. Sadly, I will not be back.
