1) We had placed our order in advance by email, however we had to wait for it for more than 35 minutes.
2) Sea Bass - $35. Advertised with cherry tomatoes and olives , was actually served with 3 halves of cherry tomato and very few small peaces of an olive, however with lot of onions and garlic that were not mentioned in the menu.
3) Fettuccini Funghi - was supposed to be served with wild mushrooms. Actually came with champignons only and very thick noodles, which were half-done and sticky.
Every course was equally delightful at this upscale jewel of a find in Newmarket. The wine list is thoughtful and reasonably priced including some incredible Reds. The knowledgeable, attentive, staff helped me with some wonderful pairing suggestions and we were able to relax and take our time without feeling rushed. The timing of food service was impeccable and our wine glasses were kept topped up. I am thrilled to have such a great place to retreat to locally.
Ate in private room; antipasto/pasta/main course/salad & separate kids menu. Each course was served an hour between & each guest served at different times with 15 minutes between. Kids meals came out last and piping hot. Pasta was cold, side dishes bland & salad was never served. We spoke to the owner & she was extremely rude & argumentative. She offered no apology & made us very uncomfortable. Food is mediocre & owner offers horrible customer service. Stay away & spend your money elsewhere!
We had a dinner party which was pre-arranged and decided on a set menu to simplify things, however this didn't help. There was at least an hour wait between each course and the courses were served at different times.
We ask to speak to the owner and during our conversation with the owner/manager, she offered no apology and was extremely rude, argumentative and unaccommodating.
We will never go to this restaurant again as we can't support such blatant rudeness and awful service from the owner.
I had dinner at Spero recently and just can't understand where the positive reviews come from. The atmosphere is cozy, but the food is bland and the service is poor. We waited over 90 minutes for our entrees and the restaurant was not exceptionally busy. We expressed our concerns to the female manager, but she seemed uninterested. Spend your money elsewhere, you'll be glad you did.
