We were so excited to have the opportunity to go to Spice as it was our favorite restaurant when they were in Morningside and we have not been since they moved to Westbrook. However, unfortunately we did not have a great experience. I booked a...table for 7 people on the terrace as it was a beautiful day. We arrived around 12pm and most of us ordered off their new light menu, which consisted of simple dishes like fish and chips and plump prawns, avocado salad. We were one of the first to arrive at the restaurant and on the advice of the waiter we ordered promptly. Our simple meals took 2 hours to arrive. Two of us who had ordered from the main menu had great meals however the meals from the light lunch menu were very underwhelming. 3 not so plump prawns and avo salad and 1 undercooked fish and chips. I asked the waiter why our meals took 2 hours to arrive and was told that the grilling takes a long time. I really don’t like to be lied to and admittedly, we never complained about the very unimpressive food because we were so hungry by the time the food arrived that we did not want to delay things further.
It really was sad to have such an unimpressive experience from a restaurant that was one of my favorites. They really should not have introduced a cheaper, lighter menu if they can not deliver the same quality that Spice is known for. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back 😩More
