I just did not have a good experience at Spice Market. Sadly, I was extremely excited about this restaurant and decided to stop in for lunch with a friend. The host sat us at an incdredible table in the center by the open double doors. We sat there for about 10 minutes and no one gave us a menu. So we had to ask the host for our menus. Then we sat for another 20-25 minutes and not one waiter came up to us to take our order or to even say hello. We were very confused because all the tables around us were getting served except us. My friend had to get up and hunt down the host again to get us a waiter. After that we were a little frustrated...now to the food: I ordered the pad thai, and it was VERY acidic. I have had lots of padthai at several NY thai places, and im sad to say that this was the ultimate worst. I couldn't even eat it because it was so acidic. The coconut rice was mediocre, I like mine to be a little sweeter. Overrall, it was a disappointment, but the ambience and setting was beautiful. I would definitely go again but only for drinks.

Pros: Ambience, Setting

Cons: service and food

Editor's Review

Outstanding Asian small plates, breathtaking decor and one of the hottest scenes in the city--Jean-Georges has done it again.  See the full editorial review.

Insider Tips

What to Drink

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.
