Weird. Salty. Fails to treat ingredients with respect. Food is unrecognizable... Descriptions do not match reality.

Staff is so knowledgeable about the menu. Bartender is amazing. Give him a general idea and he comes up with a delicious surprise every time.
I loved the eggplant spread. The chef generously gave me the recipe! I cant wait to try it. Lovely people.

A hidden gem right on the edge of Davis! Everything we ordered was delectable, rich, and incredibly. The menu was creatively thought through and the ingredients were fresh! Def stop by for a nice date night.

Great drinks -- both wine and cocktails -- but not enthused with the food, which fell flat on the palate. We both wanted a "redemption meal" to bring some excitement to the mouth.

Camambert, on point. Snapper and green strawberry, an absolute treat. Chilled seafood, playfully balanced. Liquid Caviar drink, lovely.

Amazing food! Very inventive and surprising tastes. Tops are the enoki deep fried wedges and the bavette with crab butter is just perfection. Should Michelin or Gault Millau ever come to the greater Boston area, Spoke will be listed. Small minor; very few wines by the glass.

Everything that I absorbed during this meal was wonderful. Sights, smells, sounds, and especially tastes. All activated in a swirl of tasty deliciousness. Thanks for the fantastic experience

The atmosphere is great and the service is decent, but everything in the menu is overly complicated - for absolutely no reason. I think that the owner/manager should seriously consider creating a coherent menu, such that the customers can understand what they are ordering, and the staff can explain what is on the menu.

We got seated inside (next to the only other people there) and it was incredibly loud. The waiter had to get so close to us so that we could hear him, that it was a little awkward. Wine was interesting. Food was pretty good. Atmosphere killed it.

I have never left a restaurant feeling more patronized than this. I asked the waitress to elaborate on a menu item and had her define every word that was part of the dish. The price was beyond inflation, where you leave feeling scammed. There are many more tapas bars in Boston that are more worth your money.

I can't believe it took me so long to come here and now I've been 2 times (with a foiled 3rd attempt due to long wait times). Cocktails are amazing and the small kitchen is churning out great food. Come here now!Update: have been here countless more times and it's always a great time. Staff is awesome, food is awesome, and the cocktails continue to be unique and delicious... and awesome

I went here with my friends and we had a horrible experience. The waiter was extremely rude. He refused to answer questions about the menu, especially because we had people on our table with religious dietary restrictions. He spoke down to us and shoved our coats at us at the end, ignoring my friend’s “thank you”. His service consisted of 80% eye rolling and 20% unprofessionalism. Perhaps this is an establishment for people with no dietary restrictions and those who don’t care about being respected.
