   Beautiful ambience as we went the week of Christmas and we had a lovely table tucked into the side of the main dining room. Service was impeccable and food was wonderfully prepared with thought and care.

   After celebrating here about 10 years in row we had less than five star experience. Courses were rushed (place was sold out). Entree portions were more modest than we recall. Service excellent and good table location. Wine excellent

   Spruce is a beautiful and elegant restaurant. The service is impeccable. The cocktails were great, and the wine list is astounding, whether by the glass or the enormous bottle list. The prix fixe menu was uneven. Several people had the duck and thought it was great, as did the person who ordered the beef. I had the chicken and would say it was so so. An interesting concept, but overly fussy, very salty, and cooked unevenly. It was a combination of breast (which was dry) and thigh (which seemed under cooked). The whole plate was overly salted. The pear salad had some odd spice notes and was definitely a let down. It looked like an overcooked blob on the plate. A simpler presentation would have worked better. The desserts were uniformly delicious, and particularly the beignets. Overall the dinner was delightful and is one of the few fine dining restaurants left in SF. Pricey but worth it for the occasional splurge or celebration.

   A special occasion experience! My birthday dinner with my sisters was very special. I will give Village Pub the edge over Spruce, having dined at both in the same week over the holiday season. The food os impeccable at both. The difference is in the service and warmer more casual vibe at the latter.

   Everything was good but not worth $1,000 for 4 people. Might sit at the bar and get a burger next time.

    Amazing ambiance, unfortunately we waited 30 minutes for our table when we had a 7:45pm reservation. No real apology was made. Food was average for how expensive it was. Wouldn’t go back.
