We just celebrated a birthday lunch here today and the experience was so wonderful that we're already planning our next visit back. The food was unique and complicated -- but not too complicated that it detracted from the taste like food can at other restaurants. The interior is absolutely stunning. Most importantly, their service was exceptional, and they know how to celebrate a birthday (or anniversary or anything else). There are 5 types of dining experiences at Spruce: 1) Dinner - 3 course meal (likely with the addition of a small amuse bouche before and petit four after) for $115 / person 2) Brunch on the weekend - 3 course meal (+ amuse bouche + petit four) for $98 / person 3) Lunch on a weekday - 2 course meal (+ amuse bouche + petit four) for $65 / person 4) A la carte bar and lounge experience with a slightly different menu 5) No one seems to talk about this but there's a little cafe / bakery next door where they sell their HUGE cookies and I bet their famous beignets and other desserts too. ------ FOOD: We came for the 2 course lunch during the week (MLK day, so we had Monday off) and I thought our two courses was definitely enough food for each of us, though we did also order a supplemental course ahead of time: FIRST COURSE: 1) [MUST TRY] Roasted Sunchoke Veloute (5/5) - This is a thick, creamy soup with super unique flavors that just warmed my soul. They presented bread service right before this was served, so I could use pieces of sourdough as a vessel to enjoy some of the buttery soup 2) Provencal Soupe au Pistou (5/5) - The other soup on the menu and another creamy soup. However instead of having a deep, buttery taste, it had a nice acidity. The beans paired nicely with the soup, and the croutons were super crunchy and not soggy at all. ENTREE: 1) [MUST TRY] Prime Petite Filet Mignon (5/5) - One of the best steaks I've had in a while. This filet mignon surprised both me and my boyfriend because of how tender, evenly cooked, and flavorful it was. Usually steaks are too chewy for my liking (even a recent cut of A5 wagyu at another restaurant didn't impress me) but this was what I want whenever I order a steak. We were also easily able to sub the fries for extra veggies, which we really appreciated! 2) Seared Ahi Tuna Salade Nicoise (4.5/5) - A delicious, healthy option that is still extremely flavorful. The 7-minute egg was cooked perfectly and was the perfect fatty touch paired with the strong, biting taste of the olive spread. I thought the spread was a little overpowering and took away from the taste of the tuna a bit, but this dish was still wonderful 3) Duck Leg Confit (4/5) - Super tender duck that fell off the bone and paired beautifully with the dish's sauce and accompanying veggies. I found this to be a little too salty for my liking which is why the 4, but had it been less so, I would have absolutely loved this. Turnips have recently become a favorite addition to my dishes recently, so I was elated to see turnips with this duck! OTHER: * They started the meal with a delicious amuse bouche - a mushroom and cheese puff. * There was also 1 thick slice of sourdough bread served to each of us before our first course. It wasn't my favorite because it wasn't warm and didn't have a crispy crust. * They came out with a birthday dessert at the end which was this luxurious, decadent chocolate hazelnut cake. It was so creamy and texturally complex -- it was such a nice birthday gift from the restaurant. * Finally, the petit four were fantastic chocolate passion fruit bonbons ------ SERVICE: * SERVICE - Wonderful service. Our waiter was extremely kind and thorough. Servers were always coming by to clear our plates, and I thought the pace of the meal was excellent. I do wish they cleared crumbs from the table between courses * CELEBRATION - We we're celebrating my bf's birthday and Spruce really knows how to celebrate a birthday. Not only were there many "happy birthdays" by various folks, but there was also a nice birthday card at the table and after we asked for the check, they surprised us with an extra birthday dessert and candle. That was as delicious as it was beautiful. This place just knows how to celebrate, and I will be coming back for future celebrations. ------ ENVIRONMENT/AMBIANCE: * INTERIOR - One of the most beautiful, contemporary, yet cozy dining spaces in SF. There's really nice natural light from skylights above, and the dark brown walls and furniture add a chocolatey warmth that levels up the space. Plus the expertly placed glass panes and mirrors give you the perfect vantage of their gorgeous bar * BAR - I would love to come some day and just get a drink + a bite (likely their famous burger) at this bar with a friend. They've sorted the bottles in various clusters of bright colors accentuated by shelve lights behind them. * PARKING - There is lots of parking around this area with newer parking meters
