   Went back to Spruce when visiting for first time since Covid pandemic started. Overall, a nice meal but not fabulous. Menu rather limited. Wine Spectator 100 deserved because of very deep list, but very pricey with few choices in value range.

   Food was very good but menu structure is odd. It's formatted in a way to upsell the customer on various add-ons. Too many actually. (i.e. if you want 3 scallops instead of 2 it will be an extra $12; if you want a finer cut of meat that will be another $XX). It's obnoxious actually and a bit disappointing.

    Excellent food. We had the set menu with some upgrades like lobster, etc. While the menu descriptions were simple, the dishes were crafted with thoughtfulness and refinement - the flavours were complex w/o over complicating the dishes, which many other fine restaurants tend to do. Every ingredient was perfectly prepared and layered to create a series of memorable, satisfying, and delicious memories. The sommelier's service was friendly and casual yet refined. We ended up having a few recommended bottles of unique wines, but the one that really stood out was Altagracia II, which was simply wonderful! Lastly, Daniel (who took care of our evening) was superb. His knowledge/storytelling on every dish and unique ingredients was invaluable to our overall experience, yet not overwhelming. Daniel even went over & above to help us arrange an outstanding lunch/wine tasting in Napa the next day. Thanks again Daniel - your hospitality is truly world-class.

    Overall fantastic experience, table service was incredibly well timed and organized. The food selection offered enough variety and was certainly elegant for the price point, the scallops and bass were lovely. The lobsters sides felt lacking.

    Everything was excellent. We had excellent service as well. For me (not sure about my husband), I was a little turned off by our waiter/server at the end of the meal. When he presented the bill he commented that the 20% service charge is shared by all staff and that if we pleased with his service an additional amount would be appreciated. 20%, given the amount of the bill and the bills for all of the other diners, is generous and his comment put me off a bit.

    Inside of spruce is lovely, but the food did not live up to a 1 Michelin Star restaurant, and the main and dessert were off and lackluster. Maybe just a bad night. 1st Course: Montauk Fluke Crudo It had lovely balance between salty and citrus with the myer lemon gel and verjus. However, the fish was poorly cut with thick tendons still present, which threw off the smooth texture of the fish. 2nd Course: Binchotan Grilled Dry Aged Rib-Eye The steak was perfectly cooked, but it lacked flavor, any sort of depth, and was under salted. The bordelaise didn't help elevate the flavors. The best part was the charred broccoli di ciccio, which were delicious. 3rd Course: Chocolate Bonet The presentation was lovely, with two meringue wafers towering over the beeswax icream, and chocolate cake in the middle. With a honey-lime granita. However, the granita was far too sour, they honey did not come through at all. The Bonet may have had too much dark chocolate but it overly bitter. The beeswax ice cream was very neutral. I couldn't finish it dish.

    It was a truly terrible experience. I ordered halibut and 5 minutes later the waitress came to me saying that they finished the halibut and did not have any other fish. I had to take the meat and it came over cooked and hard. I did not eat it and sent it back. The dessert was poorly made. I called the manager to complain about the meat and the service and he was highly arrogant although he said that the dinner would have been on them. But guess what? The bill was given to me at full price. The waitress had an attitude for all night. It was an horrific experience. I have been in so many Michelin stars restaurants around the world but I have never had such a bad experience. I am very surprised how this restaurant got a star. I will write e letter to the Michelin inviting them to investigate and control again on the quality of this restaurant. Don’t go!

    Outstanding service. Our server really treated us well. What a delightful meal. Service Our server allowed us to eat without interruption and was helpful in making good recommendation and choices. For dessert they offered 3 choices, however, our server was very kind. I am not a big sweets person. I prefer savory so she suggested a cheese plate which wasn't on the menu. Well, it was divine and enough for 2 people. I was so pleased. Because we were celebrating our 23rd anniversary we were given a small table in the middle of the room but against the wall. For 30 minutes a small group of friends were standing near our table and celebrating loudly. We usually can tolerate loud noise but since they stood literally next to my poor husband's chair, both of us just couldn't chat as we couldn't talk over their noise. And it was probably hard for the servers to see us thus we sat for a while before we could even order our food. The manager politely asked the small group to disperse and return to their table after they were quite loud for almost 20 - 30 minutes. Since it was hard to control unruly diners, the kitchen sent us a 2nd amuse and a beautiful extra sweet treat bc of our inconvenience. Well we didn't ask or expect that and this made us feel very special. It's like the cared and noticed that we were kind of "squeezed" in. Meal The dinner in the main dining room is a 3 course $100 prix fixe. If you add the Lobster there is a $35 supplement and it's worth it. I loved the raviolini first course that my husband ordered. It was divine. Simple and beautiful. The amuse was sweet, tasty and just a lovely bite. The scallop dish that I ordered was a generous portion. You get 3 large pieces. Well plated over some deliciousness. I was so happy. My husband had the Lobster for entree. So good. Though I normally would say Gary Danko is my favorite splurge, I have to change it to Spruce now. It was that good.

    Truly an exceptional experience with such care taken to make your dining experience so special. The staff greeting was so gracious and warm. They really seem to love their jobs. Helping us decide what to eat was also an enjoyable conversation with wonderful description of the asparagus with dried egg yoke in a green sauce. The muscles with garlic bread was a generous portion in a gorgeous layout and scrumptious broth. We savored the afternoon not wanting it to end so we finished with cappuccin and coffee.
