What People Are Saying About Spice Market
The Editor

With teak pagodas, low golden lighting and a dramatic staircase carved into the center of the room leading down to the equally stylish bar, Jean-Georges Vongerichten has redefined exotic dining. The crowd--a sexy, well-appointed mix of downtowners, moneyed execs and occasional celebrity--is worthy of a wandering eye. It's billed as "Asian street food," but since the menu is the creation of Vongerichten, dishes show unmistakable finesse.
Great Food, Great Fun!

cool place pleasant on the eye, good food, people watching, take out when they can be bothered, have had the pleasure of being refused take out as apparently they dont do it depending who you speak to.. an email to the manager changed this and was invited to full dinner no expense sparred but damage was done. a cant be bothered sense of mentality all to present in modern day society seems to have many fans here
- Pros: food very good, $$
- Cons: take out
Not for real NYers

If you want real Asian or Indian food there are plenty places in the city where you do not have to wait and wait and wait. This place is a tourist trap for those who are not accustomed to eating some of these dishes. The food all together was poor; try some real samosas and pork vindaloo and than come back to this place and you will know what I am talking about.. Fusion??? If that is the name they want to hide under for serving poor representation of a mix of several cultures food, ok. There is a huge staff of people working, running around in orange suits like chickens with their heads off; with all this staff you would think that you can possibly get another cocktail at your table within a decent time frame. No not even that is possible. Save your money and your time.
- Pros: hmmm let me think about this one
- Cons: Wait time, service, price, food
The Details on Spice Market
Where to Sit:
Smaller parties should sit at the bar, which offers entertaining views directly into the kitchen. Parties of six or more can reserve one of the exotic, subterranean alcoves.

The cocktail list includes a refreshing passion fruit and champagne cocktail called a "pattaya." Several wines by the glass are offered, including a crisp Clairette ($8) that pairs nicely with much of the menu.
