Delightful lunch in a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. Service was excellent. Started with a complimentary Proseco. Ordered a bottle of wine we liked from the wine tasting we had prior to lunch. We both ordered pasta dishes and shared a side of asparagus. Everything was perfectly prepared.

Nice little restaurant with a variety of food choices. I made a reservation for 4 at 7:30 pm. I’m not used to not being greeted upon entry, but it was made up for when I saw my name on a small chalkboard at a table for 4 in the window. After we sat down, we were greeted promptly & the ensuing service was great. The grilled shrimp were cooked perfectly. The butternut squash soup was created with a dash of red curry, lending an interesting depth of flavor. Good selection of both local & European wines by the bottle or by the glass. Be forewarned that they do close up shop pretty early. I recommend the Spoon & Spindle as a solid choice for dinner in Orange.
