    We had the mushrooms and corn bread as appetizers. Both were excellent. Mushrooms are a favorite for us first time trying the corn bread - do not pass on the corn bread. My husband had the beef marinated in Coca Cola with mashed potatoes it was so good! I had the qual with grits and it was yummy. We usually get the Beignets - but just could not eat another thing. Our favorite restaurant in Orange and the staff is super chill. The only change we hope they make is having a 0.0 choice of beer for my husband.

    We had a reservation but waited at the hostess stand for 5 to 10 minutes before the hostess arrived to seat us. Waitress was busy but attentive. Food was very good but heavily salted…especially the brussels.

    What a wonderful dining experience! My guest and I arrived earlier than our scheduled reservation after finishing our voting sooner than expected, and the restaurant graciously accommodated us. From the beautiful atmosphere to the excellent food and service, everything exceeded our expectations. A special compliment goes to the lovely lady who waited on us. She was warm, friendly, attentive, and offered a wonderful recommendation. She went above and beyond to make sure we understood our choices and received exactly what we wanted. Great food and a beautiful atmosphere are always appreciated, but outstanding personal service is what makes an experience memorable. Our server definitely did that for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and look forward to returning! Please pass along our appreciation to the restaurant and, especially, to our server. She helped make an already enjoyable evening even more memorable. Kind regards, Dale

    The service and servers are always great; super nice and friendly. We have enjoyed dining at Spoon & Spindle many times in the past. They recently changed the brunch menu and while this might appeal to some i found it hard to order something lower carb as the new menu emphasizes carbs. I miss the mushroom frittata which was removed from the menu.

    Great menu choices. Pretty noisy. Food was very good. Service a bit slow as it was very busy. Ambience could be improved.

    Great service. Food was superbly prepared. Crab Bennie was absolutely the best we’ve had anywhere. Blueberry pancakes were top-notch. We will definitely return many times in the future.

    We have been here a few times and the service and food is consistently above average close to outstanding. We brought our neighbors from LKA last night and they loved it. We all drooled over the brunch menu we will be coming back for sure!
