Yesterday was a first time at Spruce and the experience was disappointing.I hadn't taken any photos cos I had left my phone back home. The environment and ambience is great for beer and supper with friends especially during football season. However, there is only 1 projector screen around whilst I was there and about half of the restaurant will have unobstructed view. The other half including the alfresco dining area may have to crane their necks a little They do not have much variety on their m

They do not have much variety on their menu, and majority of the mains are meat which isn't what I had appetite for then.
Well, I ordered the risotto as I was looking for something to warm me up after a cold movie session.
The risotto came and does not look presentable at all. It looks like brown mushroom sauce (on a polite note). But hey, looks does not matters when it comes to food right? But long story short, the dish simply lack focus, it was very salty and I bet the ready meals sold in super market taste divine compared to that. Everything was overdone in that dish, risotto was meant to be a rice dish and yet I saw more mushroom gravy in it and rice is being rather elusive. There are also mysterious leaves which I suppose it's basil and everything tasted off. It felt as if the sauce used for steaks and burger were used to cooked the risotto and salt was added as if it's not salty enough. I have no idea why they even put the dish on the menu in the first place. Its just disgusting.
The service is ok, not great but ok.
Anyway, I think the next time I am there, beer is the safest option.
