My boyfriend, daughter and I tried The Spot todayThe waitress was greatThe restaurant was clean.
Why am I just now finding out about this cozy little spot?! My girlfriend and I stopped in for dinner tonight. The Friday walleye was a fantastic dish. The fish was flavorful, slightly crispy and wonderful with their tartar sauce. The slaw was perfect- not drenched in cream sauce like some places. We loved our salads and clam chowder, and my girlfriend loved the tomato broth mussels. The space is small, but not cramped. Cozy and comfortable. Besides the great food, they had kombucha which made me happy. And the service was everything I hope for when eating out. I forget her name, but she was perfect. Always checking in at the right time, knowledgeable about the menu, fun and kept the water glasses full. Her male co-server grabbed empty dishes as he walked by which shows that both servers know how to work together to bring the best service possible to their tables. The Spot will become a regular place in our rotation thanks to their great food, cozy atmosphere and awesome service!
Very good food and solid beer list. Have eaten here six times, now, and I'm struck by how much I've enjoyed each meal. Happy hour in the bar area comes with half-priced beer and wine. Always a decent offering of craft beer at the Spot. A big snifter of Lake Louie Louie's Reserve for just bucks is hard to beat.Lately, Friday fish has been the draw for us. My favorite fish special is the seared cobia. Perfectly prepared seared with a nice crispy surface and a wonderfully rare core. (Note: this is a fairly adventurous dish. Anyone squeamish about sashimi or tartare might want the salmon or walleye, instead The super tasty pesto cream sauce seems an updated version of the traditional mustard-mayo sauce of tuna carpaccio, so it's perfect for the sushi-like fish.The filet floats atop a fluffy cloud of seriously yummy parmesan risotto. The whole dish gets drizzled with an excellent balsamic reduction to tie it all together. At first blush the fish filet seems small. But that mild disappointment is only relative to the portions of restaurants that charge twice the price of this dish. There won't be anything to take home in a doggy bag, but with the risotto and the nice pile of broccoli, it's plenty, especially at just br/>Dessert is awesome: a savory pumpkin cheesecake, whose low-sweetness allows the pumpkin to really stand out. The dish gets its sweetness instead from the candied pepitas, which are so flavorful and chewy, they must be fresh-roasted. The bartender tells us the pastry chef is formerly of Harvest and Graze.When we first started eating at The Spot, I was addicted to the burgers. I've tried all three of the burgers on the menu and would be hard-pressed to pick a favorite. They're all half-pound patties, cooked to order on a beautiful roll, with a side of wilted mustard greens (or any side dish). for the basic burger, including the side dish? No wonder I was addicted.
