We are thinking about eating here on our next trip. The garlic shrimp appetizer looks sooooooooo good! How were the dinners here? They look awesome.
Thanks! The appetizer was possibly my favorite thing in Spoodles. If you've ever had really really awesome chicken francese, the sauce was very similar to that- lemony, tangy, with a sweet roasted garlic flavor, and definitely butter- yum!
I enjoyed everything there very much. When my boyfriend and I sat down and discussed which restaurants we wanted to return to, Spoodles and Kona were the two that we said we could not imagine skipping. They were our favorite meals.
I ordered the rigatoni, bf ordered the lemon chicken. Mine was rich, creamy, meaty and tasted of basil and sauteed portobello mushrooms.
The lemon chicken was good, the couscous was amazing!
We ended up liking each other's entrees even more than our own, so we switched halfway through! All the entrees were very large here, though the shrimp appetizer was somewhat small. We could barely finish- and only did that because we ate very slowly over a long time.
I am hoping to ask for dinner sized portions of the shrimp with sides of the couscous for our next meal because they were truly amazingly delicous. My boyfriend wants to get (2) entrees of the rigatoni so he can take one back to the resort and warm it up in the food court later on!
They must have a fabulous chef. I would like for them to add more choices to their menu- though I hear they have unpublished vegetarian selections as well- I want to go back a million times, but I also like to try new things.
Those desserts were to die for!
Our waiter was wonderful. We ate for almost 2 hours, and drank about 8 cups of tea each, and he cheerfully provided not only free refills, but new cups, and new hot water filled teapots each time. I loved this leisurely meal. Now I am fantasizing about going back!
