    The linguine bolognese with red sauce is an instant classic at Spoon & Spindle.

    This is a cute little restaurant with super friendly staff and absolutely delicious food!! The Spindle Schnitzel was so crisp and fresh-tasting (not a hint of the grease it was fried in) and the portion was huge! Same with the crab linguine - large portion, deliciously crisp toasted bread crumbs over creamy linguine with just a hint of pepper spice. Being from New Orleans, we were skeptical of the beignets. However, we were most pleasantly surprised with the crispiness and lightness of them! They definitely passed muster and we highly recommend

    Well prepared and diverse menu. Greeted with birthday wishes by entire staff. Chef adjusted an entree to accommodate an allergy and the meal was delicious. Service was friendly, prompt and attentive. We'll be going back and highly recommend! BTW, if you're into rustic, the ambience is a 5.

    The food and service were remarkable. The ambience was lovely and although it got very full, the acoustics were great. We did have to leave after two hours (we ordered a lot) because they needed the table. That wouldn’t happen in Europe where I live. Nonetheless I loved it and would highly recommend it.

    Hi Christine! We're so glad you enjoyed your time here! We do apologize for the time limitations -- it's the crux of having a small dining room. Thank you for understanding!

    Disappointing. This restaurant had good reviews, so I took my niece here for her birthday. The menu was very limited. Not nearly what was shown online. Maybe 5 - 6 apps, 5 dinners some salads and some burgers. We had the shrimp toast app. It was some bread with tomato based sauce and some cheese???? Their crabcake was bland, but they did bring out some seafood seasoning. The homemade mac and cheese was bland and the noodles mushy. The risotto was also mushy and underseasoned, although the seafood in it was good. The Beignets were over cooked being a little soft inside, but very crunchy at the butter edges. Very hard to eat. The best part of either meal were the muscles in the risotto, the little parmasean crisps in the risotto, and pretty good sweet tea. Not going back.

    Hi Ruth, We are so sorry that you didn't enjoy your experience with us. We did change our menu on April 1st with the introduction of our new chef, which we tried to advertise as much as possible! It sounds like we have some kinks to work out, so we appreciate your feedback.
