    We enjoyed our Saturday night dinner at Spice. The menu provided a good selection of Thai appetizers, salads, and main dishes. Portions were generous and the dishes were nicely presented. Food quality was good. Service was attentive without being intrusive. We will definitely return!

    We arrived for our reservation during the pouring rain, so all that outdoor seating was out of the question. The hostess managed to seat the four of us indoors within 10 minutes. Friendly waiter came over. Everything continued on as it should until the waiter brought 2 of 4 appetizers. When we flagged him down he brought one more. During dinner we told him we never got the 4th, so forget it because dinner had arrived. He then brought it over.. Friendly people, but not sure I would return. Or maybe just takeout.

    All 4 of us had great dinners. My crispy chicken really was wonderfully crispy, with nice seasoning, accompanied by rice that was almost like pad thai (egg, nuts, very nice curry spicing). Highly recommended.

    Food was decent, well priced. But did not like that they included tip without informing us. ... And then the tab prompted us to tip again on the bigger total.

    Spice is known for its really good food and great drinks, and I must say it does not disappoint. All the Spice locations have never disappointed in any of these departments and this one is no exception. The staff is also friendly as well and I recommend the Hawaiian ginger and pineapple shrimp, along with any of the noodle dishes...delicious!

    I love this place. Usually go to the Chelsea location (22/8) but as someone who lives in the UWS, I decided to stay in my neighborhood. The duck salad and the green curry chicken are my favorite. My friend and I shared a delish chocolate cake topped with green tea ice cream ... AMAZING! Spice never disappoints!!!
