Best Neighbourhood Gem Restaurants in Tangletown

A must-go for the tea lover in your life. Delightfully warm atmosphere, like being inside a tea cozy or at grandma's house. Lots of different kinds of tea on offer; service is very well organized, food was good. For the afternoon tea, we agreed that the standouts were the goat cheese tomato tarts and the cranberry orange scones. Just a really fun outing if you love tea or if you are looking for something different than usual.

Superb, as usual. The carrot sformato was an unusual find and quite delicious. The addition of olives to the blood orange and fennel salad hit just the right acid note, Mama’s meatballs were pure beef with a strong dash of anise seed, and the accompanying marinara had been simmering for ages to pick up that deep complexity of flavors and great balance between sweet and slightly acid.

Really enjoyed the food and ambience at Spinasse. There were good options on the menu for a vegetarian family. Our waiter, Heather was awesome and very knowledgeable about vegetarian choices and helped make the right choices. A little bit disappointed that 2 desserts on the menu contain pork gelatin, but there were 3 other desserts to choose from. Again, Heather was awesome in steering us in the right direction. Overall a great experience for a special family dinner!

The mushroom risotto was incredible! The staff was amazing and super friendly.

Great steaks! Love the variety of other menu choices as well. We love coming here and are repeat customers.
