    Though it sounds sacrilegious, I'm gonna say the famous burger doesn't need the cheese. A bit overpowering.

    70 seats in the dining room, Baccarat crystal chandeliers and refined New American cuisine. A great choice for pre-theather!

    Wonder where the cool kids hang out? Not only is the food delightful, but the see-and-be-seen crowd is entertaining as well. - Inspector

    Tuff to park, need to use valet. Pricey food as are the wines. Little noisy. Kinda place to be and be seen for local swills. Not conducive for business dinners. Just my HO

    If you ask politely, the bartender might make you a Blue Blazer cocktail.

    A great place for a dressed-up dinner. The food spans a variety of cuisines but the emphasis remains on local and organic fare.

    From the same owners who run the Village Pub in Woodside; cool hangout - the bar is better than the restaurant dining room in my opinion. The Spruce burger is awesome - well worth it

    I also agree with sitting in the bar if you can. Very lively crowd. But the main dining area is nice too.

    Foie and waffle. Perfection on a plate. Eat in silence and savor the moment. Then, order another. It disappears all too quickly...

    Spruce makes their own pastrami. Dry and lean - I prefer moister pastrami... However it's quite delicious!

    Maybe one day the waiter with the noisy motorcycle will make enough money to buy a car that doesnt wake me up at quarter to midnight 5 nights per week.
