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

Skip the wait and snag a seat at the bar. Good company and conversations.

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

Fancy spot but just sit at the bar and order the burger on an english muffin with fries.

The ravioli and the veal are a must for starter!.

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

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

The burger is great!

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

This beautiful bar and restaurant is a neighborhood hangout. We love the elaborate garnishes.

Great brunch. The ribeye and eggs is fantastic.

Tears come to my eyes when I remember how delicious this burger was. Their caesar salad is also bangin.

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

Save your appetite for beignets
DAN COXDecember 1, 2011
Foie and waffle. Perfection on a plate. Eat in silence and savor the moment. Then, order another. It disappears all too quickly...
Nick JordanApril 28, 2016
Don't you dare not get the taleggio on the burger.
Javlon KhApril 24, 2013
Should definitely try liberty farm duck breast and steak
Nick VarneyOctober 17, 2014
The pork loin is apparently their signature dish. I can see why.

Good burger, but not exactly a $20 burger
Hana NaMay 5, 2011
Spruce makes their own pastrami. Dry and lean - I prefer moister pastrami... However it's quite delicious!

Burger is so good that Obama had to try it.

Salmon, cocktails

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.

Our Rosemary's Block Zin by the glass + brie omelette = a spot of divinity.

Juicy, flavorful, fierce burger. Save room for this tasty monster!
