We had a great table by the window. The waitperson was gracious. Our group met to discuss an important matter so we were a bit slow ordering. Our food was fantastic. I especially enjoyed my Paella And another diner loved the Brussels Sprout Salad with truffle vinaigrette, and the Beet Salad. My other companion thought the grilled octopus was special. The Albarino we ordered was delicious too. The only downside I can think to mention is the musical journey beginning in the 80s! And we were still able to have our serious conversation. I will be returning.

The atmosphere felt very grown and polished without being overly formal...the kind of place that's lively and stylish but still comfortable enough to relax and hang out. I was surprised by the Spanish stuffed peppers; It was better than I expected, filled with rich, slow-braised oxtail short rib ragu that was incredibly tender, savory, and full of deep flavor. The slight smoky sweetness from the peppers balanced the hearty meat perfectly. Such a unique memorable tapa. Perfect spot for drinks, sharing plates, and a fun night out.

We started with some mocktails that were very good and the apple & pear salad that was also good. Our waitress also brought us some complimentary bread and herb butter. All good. But when my entree came it was so disappointing. I ordered the hanger steak cook medium. It was cooked to temp but had to be the chewiest steak Ive ever had. The steak knife wouldnt even cut through it. The knife basically ripped the steak apart. It also came with the largest broccolini I have ever seen. It was basically broccoli but ultimately was under cooked for how large the stalks were. I did try the desserts but they looked good.

I have been a fan of The Spread, both at their old location, as well as the new one. The new…read morelocation is much larger and I would say more trendy and family friendly, as it has both indoor and outdoor seating's. The place shares a common areas with a few other restaurants with a nice little fountain in the center. I have much preferred the outdoor seating as it has a nice view. On my last visit I ordered the "Small Plates Brussels Sprouts "Grilled Corn Off the Cob" as an appetizer, which was very fresh! For the main dish I tried the "Veal Ricotta Gnocchi " which was very filling and extremely well done. You may want to come in a larger group to really enjoy the vibe. I just wish the brought back the Dancing they used to have at the older location.

They had such fun cocktails--we all ordered different ones to try, and none of them disappointed. The food was 10/10 and the service was impeccable. We shared the fried mushrooms, spicy rigatoni, and tuna tartare as appetizers- all beyond good. For entrées, we ordered the short rib, pork chop, duck, scallops, and tagliatelle pasta and every dish impressed us. Kyle was incredibly knowledgeable about the menu and gave amazing recommendations. Such a great experience--we will definitely be returning!!

A bit confusing where to park since it was dark and we had no idea where we were. But then saw valet sign so that was nice. I went in and greeted kindly by hostess & luckily didn't need a reservation for the 3 of us. Sat right away and offered water (bottled, sparkling or tap!). Also offered bread. My mother-in-law & I split the Cesar salad (they actually split for us!) love that it had real anchovies and crispy lettuce. We also split the Shrimp & Polenta. Nice large shrimp & creamy polenta. Our friend had lobster & pasta dish which was delish. I had the Gimlet, which was super tasty & she had a lemon drop martini and our friend had a nice margarita. Service was great, we enjoyed everything!

Four of us had a couple drinks each, covering the whole spectrum of beer, wine, and liquor. Everything including the service was very good . A cozy, beautifully decorated space is perfect for a pre-dinner rendezvous or a first date. Even the non-gender specific restroom is decorated in a very bold, coloful manner. The owners were tending bar the evening we went, and were very chatty and fun to interact with. We'll definitely be back!

It was the perfect amount of food for four people, and we finished everything. I did enjoy the paella, but the meat in the parrillada was a bit too salty and didn't sit well with my stomach. The service was excellent, but overall the paella could have been better.
