   Restaurant had few parties, but maximum manager-types in suit and tie roaming around. Waitress attentive but needs lessons on how to serve-you don't reach across in front of the patron to clear dishes. Nicoise Salad ordered was weirdest one I have every had! Very little lettuce, uncooked string beans, hot sauce in middle, skipped soft boiled egg listed on menu-eggs are usually hardboiled. Heavy seasoning on tuna. Because there was large party, employees marched through dining room one behind the other to deliver their meal! Very theatrical!

    We had a reservation for "heated outdoor patio", for two and we still had a significant wait until we were seated. We were seated outside the restauraunt under the trees, and there was a decent looking sheltered patio a few feet beside us. There were several heaters outside, but we were seated in an area in the middle where there was not any heaters nearby and there was no real shelter or blocking the wind, so for a 14 celsius day in SF where it was windy, we had numb legs as we left our table. The tablecloth was blowing onto our tabletop and a things from the trees above were falling into our food making for a terrible outdoor dining experience. The waiter that served us was friendly and attentive, it was generally a good experience with the staff. The food itself was pretty good but not particularly mind blowing. The desserts were fairly mediocre. The portions and sizing of the food was fair, as we felt satisfied with the amount served. The pacing of the food delivery was very slow, with long waits between the three courses we were served. We rated the food very low because we later both got sick from the food (we both shared our dishes), while it was the only thing we ate that day so there was no possibility that it was something else. Overall, the food was decent but the experience as a whole was terrible, from getting sick to basically freezing outside and getting foreign objects in our food, so I definitely would not recommend coming here.

    SpruceResponded on July 26, 2022Jonathon- First of all, thank you for dining with us at Spruce and leaving an honest review of your experience. We apologize if you had to wait longer than expected to be seated as well as any delays in food delivery. We are happy to hear that service from our staff was to your liking.

    Five of us for dinner. Everything was truly outstanding. We sat outside and the service was beyond my expectations. Comfy chairs and white table cloths were were unexpected for dining outside. Obviously a lot of thought was put into the Parklet set up. Robyn and Robert were our servers. Both were excellent. I would dine at Spruce and would enthusiastically recommend it to others.

    We dined at a heated outdoor table. Our server was knowledgeable, helpful, attentive. The staff, in general, was extremely attentive, without being intrusive. Because we were outside, the noise level was slightly elevated, but not “noisy.” The prix fixe menu made choosing a delicious quandary, but both of the appetizers and entrees that we sampled were superb, and the presentation was excellent. The desserts? Again, mouth-watering and a treat for the eyes as well. Though definitely on the high end for our budget, we highly recommend Spruce.

    My wife and I visited Spruce while on vacation in San Francisco. We wanted a Michelin star experience, and we were not disappointed. Every detail of the menu was well thought out, and service was flawlessly executed. Accommodations were seamlessly made for my wife’s lactose intolerance.

    This was our first time at Spruce and won't be the last! They are well deserving of their Michelin Star given the quality of the food, creative and well made cocktails, and one of the most extensive wine lists I have ever seen. The three course prix fixe is a great value even with supplements for some things that are extra special. A beautiful space, attentive staff, and conversational volume levels all made for a great evening.
