Great drinks, food and space ”

Plenty of tables avail for no reservation in bar areain case you want to go on an expensive date for not so great food. ”

Fine, no worries, as there was a bar and my date ordered a mojito, which he said was "the best mojito [he's] ever had" because it contained real sugarcane. Too bad we didn't leave then while we still had a good impression of the restaurant. When we were f ”

The service was poor, the food was mediocre at best, and the atmosphere did not justify the over priced items. ”
- “
For entrees we ordered the Cod with chilli and basil which was absolutely delicious and the short ribs which were also fantastic. ”

the ginger friend rice is beyond amazing, and the chicken dish we had as our entree was also delicious and quite large. ”

I've only had a couple things on the menu because the things I've had are so delicious: the black pepper shrimp appetizer, the monkfish(no longer sold), the ginger fried rice and the pineapple mojitos(the best mojito I've ever had). ”
- “
Our waiter made great recommendations and we ordered the perfect amount of food for two people. ”
- “

The bar tender was just as warm and friendly as the hosts, made great cocktail reccommendations and quickly got us a round of delicious kumquat mojitos. ”
- “
Will never have a bad meal ”

Service was not great but the food and scene made the difference. ”
- “
And the round of appetizers we ordered (mushroom rolls and chicken samosas) were very delicious but the 5 star rating started to fall quite rapidly after that. ”
- “
The food was great. ”
- “
Once seated, we opted for the chefs tasting menu, which started off interesting, but ended with lots of main entrees sold out, so we were stuck with dry chicken. ”

The dining room reminded us of the Pirates of the Carribean, the waiter told us that the Duck WAS traditional crispy skin Peking style (came braised in a terracotta pot) and the basil noodle dish was so horrible- I begged them to take it away. ”

It is a wonderful restaurant, great food, with a dark brown decor that is unique in the neighborhood. ”

The service and ambiance at Spice Market are nice, but the food is terrible. ”

The maitre'd was very pleasant, the food was excellent, and the service was good. ”

The food was decent, but just go to Indochine - its exactly the same food - but with better service ”
- “
went there for my pre-birthday dinner this year, and it was absolutely hands down the WORST service, WORST food EVER. ”
- “
The food is simply awful. ”
- “
With each course that was brought out starting with the appetizer, one dish after the other, I felt like the chef was challenging me to a dare, instigating my tolerance for abysmal food until I finally reached my threshold after tasting the "Shrimp Dumpli ”

love spicy food, so I told the waitress to make mine really spice, and she reassured me it already is spicy, but it was not. ”

food is not bad. ”
- “
The main dishes we had were the red snapper which was nice and flaky, the curry duck, and the grilled chicken. ”

The food is remarkably delicious. ”
- “
Everything on the menu looked mouth-watering, so we asked our excellent waitress to select for us, which was a top idea as the food she chose was delicious. ”
- “
We could not say on any of the dishes that it tastes amazing, maximum nice, and some not even nice (the lobster role did not taste like lobster, the samosa was tasteless. ”

While the lobster was tasty, for $35 the plate really should have been more substantial. ”
- “
We were seated immediately, the service was good overall, drinks were tasty, and the food was outstanding. ”
- “
Nice ambiance, cool neighborhood, bad food ”

Some attitude at the door, inexplicably high prices, mediocre food, and subpar service. ”

Service was incredibly slow, noone asked how our food was, whether we wanted more drinks, etc. ”

The decor was nice but the food and service was terrible. ”

Thios place is touted for the celeb spotting (no, I dodn't see any) and the great food. ”

great decor, great food (very different), nice service. ”
- “
Great decor, very friendly waiter and each new dish that arrived on the table - "family style" - was delicious. ”

The food was delish. ”
- “
Most of the appetizers were amazing - the highlights were the samosas with a cilantro sauce, the lobster roll and the mussels (with a delicious coconut broth). ”
- “
Their food (NOT your run-of-the-mill Asian food) is great and the homemade ginger ale is amazing! ”

typical blunders included lack of water refills, mismanagement of space on the table, didn't check how our food was, took FOREVER to get the check, snooty attititude, etc etc. ”

The food is great specially the pineapple shrimp appetizers. ”

The food was just as good as the service. ”
- “
Even in the gross thai place on my street they warn you about the spicy-ness ”
- “
We ordered a bunch of different plates to try, and the food was not bad at all. ”
- “
If that is the name they want to hide under for serving poor representation of a mix of several cultures food, ok. ”
- “
Tried 4 different appetizers:The spring rolls were just perfect, Mussels like a dream, the fried hot chicken wings just awsome and the Samosas were just spot on! ”

If your looking for an exotic ambiance and great food and service you can't go wrong at SPICE MARKET. ”

we had a fabulous meal at the spice market. ”

All this Asian "fusion" craze leaves one feeling like they should've went to an authentic Thai or Indian restaurant for probably 1/3 of the price of Spice Market. ”

All in all this is a fun place to go with a big group of friends for a fun dinner with delicious food. ”

The food and cocktails were overpriced and underwhelming, and our waitress spent way more time fixing her bangs in the mirror than waiting on her tables. ”
- “
The family style was great giving everyone a chance to try the many fantastic dishes they have. ”
- “
My meals were rushed and the dishes were not very unique. ”

The shrimp and scallop dish, which had only one scallop, was so brackish and ill prepared that my girlfriend didnt finish a third of it and my curry duck was cold enough to have me send it back. ”
- “
The food is excellent. ”

The trendy scene and beautiful people helped to make it an experience but I am a foodie by heart. ”
