    Celebrated my friend's birthday at All Spice. It was both of our first times at the restaurant, and we agreed that we had an overall great experience. All Spice was a cute house in the middle of a residential area that was converted into a restaurant. The place had ample parking on the neighboring streets where I parked, but I did note that it had its own surrounding parking lot when I walked closer to it. The interior was nicely decorated. It felt homey and welcoming. While the experience was certainly more of fine dining, we got the smart casual type of vibe. I made reservations for 5:30pm on a Wednesday. We were the only guests for some time and then a second party came later. We were localized in one main room, but there were multiple rooms in the house to seat more guests. Service was excellent. Food came out in a timely manner, and our server was on it! He was highly attentive and very nice. You can choose a 3-, 4-, or 5- course meal, and you don't have to match the others in your party. We both decided to get the 4-course meal as there were many things off the menu we wanted to try. I got 2 apps, 1 entree, and a dessert for my 4 courses. The food was beautifully presented, and they were flavorful. Complimentary cauliflower soup - This was a cold soup that came out in a small shot glass size of a serving. Great way to whet our appetites. Had some type of distinct spice flavor that I liked, such as cumin. House sourdough bread - Soft crumb with sliced olives. There was also house made butter. Black cod appetizer - This was a cold dish. Liked this one a lot because of the smokiness of the cod. Scallops appetizer - My favorite dish of the night. I ordered 2 scallops (2nd scallop cost extra). The scallops were large, plump, and juicy, which sat on these crispy crusts. Different flavors of sauces on the dish but overall I thought this also had an Indian inspired flavor. New York Strip Steak entree - I tried my friend's venison dish, but I liked mine way better. The steak was tender. Custard cake - Loved the caramel sauce, and the poached pear was the star of this dish moreso than the cake.

    Food: 4/5 Service: 4/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Overall: A great choice for prefixe. The extended review... Food: 4/5 - The menu set up is great with a bunch of different options depending on how hungry one is. I love that you can choose 2 entrees and 2 desserts if you so desire. Service: 4/5 - Friendly and attentive service. Ambiance: 5/5 - The setting is very nice. It's a well set up restaurant that isn't so claustrophobic and it's definitely quieter so that you can have good conversation over a very well crafted meal.

    There is a homestyle restaurant with a perfectly home vibe you feel like you're sitting in a house on a dinner table with your family. We were able to customize the menu and menu for our team because it was a team event that I arranged and they were able to work with us to make it, the food is a fusion of Asian cuisine and I can tell you that they have done a great job in putting together the right kind of stuff in there. The staff was really friendly and made sure that we were taken care of and helped us pick the best things, they were often checking on us to make sure we are comfortable. There's plenty of parking inside so don't worry about that and this is a great place for a family tour with friends, etc.. Have fun.

    Literally my new favorite restaurant! I can't say enough great things about this place. It's totally unpretentious yet elegant. Modern touches of Indian cuisine in ways that will blow your mind (and taste buds)! The service is impeccable and the ambiance ideal for a romantic vibe. The Pineapple Panna Cotta dessert is forever stuck in my mind. I've already asked my boyfriend to bring me here for ALL date nights! Thank you All Spice! PS Highly recommend doing the prix fix sampling of dishes and get the option with the most options - you'll be blown away by each one!
