I went there, ordered a burger that upon biting seem better suited to be sliding across ice toward net or goal. The hockey puck burger was one thing, getting double charged on my card was just too much. 2nd street has much better offerings than Spice.
I had a late lunch with a friend at Spice a week ago and the food was not so appealing and it tasted even worse and I only got a grilled chicken caesar salad. I used to love the chicken salads when it was Fisaga’s — It had romaine lettuce, which is typically used on a caesar salad and freshly grilled chicken with a nice flavor. This ceasar salad, however, had iceberg lettuce and the chicken tasted and looked like process chicken. On a positive note, I will say that I enjoy the atmosphere but as far as the food, I would not recommend Spice.
Monday night, myself and a group of coworkers (10 total) went to Spice to have cocktails and a bit to eat. We were excited because we had not been there to eat since the ownership had changed and a new chef was running the kitchen.
The over experience was very bleak. The service was poor, waiting up to 30-40 minutes between visits to our table by our waitress. It took over an hour go get our appetizers which were brought to our table randomly and cold. We also order two seafood appetizers only to be told 30 minutes later that they were out of them.
We waited over 75 minutes for our dinners to arrive and they were cold, the tuna was over cooked, and the other dishes were so poor that half our group did not eat their dinners.
The manager came over to attempt to make this horrible experience better but only added gasoline to the fire when he took on a very defensive attitude and started speaking loudly with one of the group members.
We frequently have business dinners and I speak for the group as a whole, we will never go to Spice again nor would we ever recommend this lousy establishment to anyone we know.
When I read those two employees comments from the Spice restaurant, I knew they were finished working there. First, the woman said if she didn’t get good tips, she couldn’t afford twice monthly trips to the shore. Excuse me! I make higher wages than this woman and I can’t afford those kinds of vacations. Second, she said that if you can’t leave a decent tip, stay home. When did she start speaking for the owner of the restaurant. He had every right to can this person.
The Spice was a neat place, We went there on Sunday, I got to watch the Nascar Race at the bar with some of my friends. We could be loud and enjoy ourselves without being told to quiet down. It was a fun outdoors place to eat and have a few drinks. The food was incredably good and the service was great. Our waitress was very polite and quick to serve. We will all go there again and also tell ours friends to do so. Try their crab cakes…the best around. Thanks again.
My wife and I ate at spice this past Sunday, we thought the selections were good the food was very good and the atmosphere was good. Sure it is loud and busy. But we truly enjoyed it. Everyone was friendly and the service was good and quick.Our waitress was very friendly and considerate. The portions were large and the prices were very reasonalble, especially for being in a large town. (Wish we had a place like this back home.) Thanks
Eric Desrosiers should be ashamed. Spice has been added to our list of restaurants that are ‘not in conformity with acceptable employee treatment principles’. My wife and I will never again patronize Spice.
The word “crap” from a waiter that was printed in the newspaper does not reflect an image any restaurant would want to portray - speaking of how he makes the customer feel if they do not leave a good tip. And when this was written it only said poor service.
Wow, Two employees, one was a manager also, were fired for talking to the press about the economy effecting their tips. Nothing bad at all about the restaurant. Just showed up for work and they weren’t on the schedule. I’ll never go in that place again, if that’s how they treat their employees. If anything, it got them some free press!
