We came to Spiga to see Anthony Duke Claus perform. But we were very pleasantly surprised by how great the food was. We enjoyed the tent atmosphere, the service was good (a little slow but we were in no hurry), and the entertainment was wonderful. We brought friends with us, and all six of us loved our meals. It was so hard to choose! We will definitely be back. Oh and owner Frank couldn’t have been nicer. He and my husband chatted quite a bit!
