Funky little place that has great comfort food and inventive menu. Loved the bar!!! Was a little warm in the restaurant but does have a covered outdoor area in a nifty court yard.

Terrible due to Kitchen chaos according to server. But we got drinks meant for another table , no cutlery (i had to jump up and get from bar after asking but never getting it) food took FOREVER, they never brought the cornbread, AND band was waaay to loud to enjoy any dinner conversation. Worse however was not offering a drink or taking anything off the bill—-thats the real sticking point for me. I get kitchens and staff have off nights but don’t charge me for it.

The eclectic menu is always a surprise. We had the special battered Cod with Polenta- delish. Wei listened to a band playing outdoors- the Clams and enjoyed the evening. Our service was excellent and the place is very beautiful with comfy chairs too.

Truly enjoyed our experience at The Spread. Made a reservation for a birthday dinner for 3 of us. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Every course was delivered with perfect timing, and not once did we feel rushed or pressured to move on to the next dish. As always, the food was outstanding. Each plate- from small to large, was just the right sharing amount, beautifully presented with excellent flavor. The atmosphere is cozy yet elegant, with warm lighting and thoughtful decor, setting the perfect backdrop for a special occasion. The pace of the evening stood out for all of us. It allowed us to truly savor the food, sip our drinks, and enjoy meaningful conversation without feeling like we were being rushed. In a world where many restaurants seem to prioritize turning over tables, it was a breath of fresh air that made for a relaxing and enjoyable experience.

We had an incredible dinner at The Spread. The waiters were so personable, professional, and responsive to our requests. We ate outside by the fire and the ambiance was unmatched. All the food and drinks were delicious, well-prepared, and visually appealing. Thank you for a great experience!
