Spice Market - AtlantaExceptional dining experienceWhat a find! Spice Market is in the "W" hotel; not to worry, your parking ticket gets validated. We were seated at a very comfortable table surrounded with pillows for extra back support and coziness. My husband and I ordered the tasting menu of 5 courses. It was the perfect way to get a sampling of all of the chefs offering. Some of the samples were served individually and others we shared. I would prefer to have my own sample and pass what I can not finish onto my husband. That way, I do not have to eat fast to keep up with his tempo. Every bite we took was an explosion of tastes that will excite your palate! Each presentation was an art form. There was not one item in our tasting that did not leave you wanting to come back for more.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThis place is one of my girlfriendThis place is one of my girlfriend and my favorites in Atlanta, we particularly like the ginger margaritas, the tuna tartare appetizer, and the chili rubbed short rib dish. The papadum they give you as a snack are really delicious too.4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMVery modern and fancy decor.Very modern and fancy decor. I brought my parents here, and they liked it, even though the upbeat music was better tailored to a younger crowd. Food was good. My parents' salad was too salty for them, though when they told the waitress that, she apologized and did not charge them for it. (I think that she also offered to get them something else or another salad, but they declined because we were pressed for time.)3/16/2013 12:00:00 AMVery creative and enjoyableThe food at Spice Market is inventive and delicious. The portions are just right for two or three people to share and then move on to the next terrific dish. If one particular dish does not quite strike your fancy, don't worry -- the next one is coming soon, and it will knock your socks off. The only thing that keeps me from giving the atmosphere the highest rating is the design of the semi-circular booth we had; the angle for the outboard seats is all wrong, and you have to sit sidesaddle to be square with the table. Not a big deal, but ask for a conventional table or one of the conventional booths.3/11/2013 12:00:00 AM
