Space 519 is our neighborhood go-to for lunch. It has great salads, a nicely curated wine list, and good tea and coffee options. And after lunch, you can get in a little retail therapy at their fabulous clothing store.

Space 519 is a beautiful and eclectic restaurant. The setting is unique and cozy. However, the service is really spotty; some servers are kind and friendly, while others couldn’t be bothered to engage in any social niceties a server would typically engage in. In addition, the food is good (not great), but takes forever! I have dined there twice, and both times, the food took at least 25-30 minutes, and we had ordered the most basic items on the menu. The kicker was, when the food finally did arrive, 2 of 3 of the dishes were cold. There was no acknowledgment of us having to wait too long, which is an indication that long wait times for food to arrive cold is a norm at Space 519.

I am so sorry you felt this way. We strive to deliver the best experience. I am the owner & I stopped by your table several times. I wish I had known you were unsatisfied so I could have solved issues in real time. We are small and make all items from scratch - which is why our food does take longer. But your food should never be served cold. I know we tried to pace things to accommodate your toddler, drinks and starter. So I am truly sorry we missed the mark. Take good care.
