Sadly with the new chef and good reviews, our experience was not all that great. The ham hock croquettes were fabulous. My $58 rib steak was sooo miserable that I left mad. If this is not in their wheel house, don't have it in the menu. Valette and Goodnights are steak houses. My husband had the burger - it was just okay, more disappointing - he ordered a Diet Coke to go with dinner and I had to go to the bar to ask for it as my husband was finishing his meal. Sorry that this did not turn out better.

We were a group of 9 and so pleased with the drinks, service, food and ambiance! We loved the burgers and the chicken. Everyone was happy. It was a great way to end our wine tasting day!

We sat in the bar and there were gnats everywhere. It was such an unpleasant experience. The servers were well aware and didn't say a word about it when seating is at the bar.

Excellent food. Nice but inexperienced waitress. She insisted on us ordering our main courses up front, we were not ready wanted to order after the appetizers. She came back 5 times to ask. Place wasn't full and didn't seem busy. Also: We ordered a bunch of appetizers and main courses to share among everyone. Had to get up from the table to ask for spoons to serve with.

It was very cold in the restaurant last night. We've been to Spoonbar in the past and we loved it, just last night it was very cold
Meg
One of our favorite go-to restaurants. The food is always great, the service is excellent, and it strikes a great balance between upscale and grungy.

It was a delight to discover that you are still offering Hanger 1 vodka and the risotto did not disappoint.

We celebrated a friend's birthday and our server, Lauren, made each of us feel welcomed and special. Attentive without being intrusive and sharing her lovely personality left us feeling relaxed and ready to plan our return visit. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was elegant and comfortable, a tricky balance. We look forward to our next visit!

We love what the current chef Robert is doing with the menu. Chef Robert is amazing. The mushroom risotto was phenomenal, as was the roast chicken. We shared the Aji tuna as an appetizer, and my only suggestion would be to add some chopped avocado to the Ahi dish. The service was outstanding; we felt looked after at the appropriate pace.
Great location, good food and loved the service. Just remember it is a hotel lobby which was fine with us
Ken
Booked reservations at the restaurant but found seats at the patio bar. Nice happy hour menu with great prices and the full service menu was also available. Had a two drinks and one item from the happy hour and then entrees from the full service. Duck was fantastic, great flavor and the mix of vegetables and farro paired well with the duck.

It had been over a year since our last meal at Spoonbar. That meal was not a good experience on both the food and service sides. I read that the restaurant had a new chef, so we decided to give it another try. I'm happy that we did. The food has taken a big step up. We were a party of four and everyone enjoyed the shared starters and their individual mains. I had the duck confit, and it was cooked perfectly. A friend ordered the mushroom risotto and devoured it. The bar program has been improved. We had cocktails and mocktails; we were all happy with our drinks. We'll be going back.

dinner before dusk (5-6 pm) is a wonderful experience. the restaurant is quieter and the staff is very attentive. food is excellent, professionally prepared and plated. great sized portions also.
