I just ate there last night! Our last dinner on the
DDP. We were skeptical of eating there, due to the menu. (they only show about 6 entrees and we were looking for more of a variety. But we were unable to get an ADR anywhere else on such late notice so we said, what the heck."
There were 4 of us, DH, Me, DS(4) and DD (6 mos.)
Appetizers:
I ordered the shrimp for starters....YUM! They only give you three, but they are butterflied and very large! My husband ordered the lamb, (he said he liked it, but I tasted it and did not care for the consistency and the taste was a bit off for me and I LOVE lamb) my DS ordered Pepperoni flatbread which was big enough for him to eat as a meal. He enjoyed it of coarse.
Entrees:
My DS ordered the mac-n-cheese (how can you go wrong!) My DH ordered the NY Strip (Med/well) with mashed potatoes instead of the steak fries, and I ordered the seafood stew. The NY Strip came out more medium especially in the center portion, but my DH did not send it back and the mashed potatoes were not hot. So our server nicely brought him a new plate of steaming mashed potaoes. My stew was not disappointing on the fact that there were chunks of calamari, shrimp, mussels, oysters, and three huge scallops. (I was worried that there would only be bits and pieces of the seafood, but I was delighted with the contents. The broth that it was served in on the other hand was O.K. It could of had more seasoning, but other then that it was good.
Dessert:
Creme Brulee for me YUM! DS had a vanilla shake and DH had a creat your own sunday. THis is where service took a dive. We were sat next to the dessert station where he gets the tickets, fills the orders, etc. and we watched our order come up and be fullfilled. My DS shake came out of the back so he got it immediatly, however our order sat in the "window" for a good 10 minutes! (Hello, Ice cream melts.) Our waiter seemd to leave the planet at this time. I truely think he forgot because we were watching him and he looked over at the counter and in a surprised statement he asked another server to get our dessert. Thankfully the ice cream is served in a frozen bowl so it was ot melted.
Would I ever go here again, probably not. Especially w/ out the ddp. Our meal came to $130. There is NO WAY I would ever spend $130 out of pocket at Spoodles. But like I said we were on the DDP so we just figured we'd check Spoodles off of the list of places we ate. My meal was just good, nothing spectacular. My DH meal was sub par, my DS, well he had pizza and mac-n-cheese. What's not to love. The 6 month old, well, she had about 6 oz. of formula and zonked out!
Really look at the menu and if there is omething that you would def. order and must have then go for it. Many people love Spoodles and you will find them on this board.
Enjoy!
