Stopped by here during a sleepy Sunday night. Really like the laid back vibe and decor. Staffs were friendly. We ordered some fried brussel sprouts and sauerkraut balls. They were great. Along with their signature Spruce burgers with side of garlic fries. Very tasty and rich juicy burger. Only small thing I didn't like was how salty all the food was. Drank a lot of water. Overall was good.
We went to Spruce twice in our short visit to Port Angeles because we liked it so much. They offer small plates to share and are very quick. Service was excellent and attentive. They have a cool "no waste" concept where they prepare only a certain amount of food per day. Once they run out of the food, they close the kitchen. So go early to ensure you have a choice of their full offering. They tend to keep the bar open as long as people are there. FYI - it's owned by some famous Seattle musician (I don't remember his name). Highly recommend Spruce if you're in town.
I would always rather have small plates that are perfectly prepared than platters overflowing with mediocrity, and we found the former here. The schnitzel was perfectly crunchy and the bangers had a lovely snap and lovely tender meat inside. I had a delightful cocktail, the Marge Gundersen, and my dining partner a nice glass of Pinot Noir. Friendly service. Note to self to bring a cushion next time... seating is very hard.
The cocktail I got was delicious. I went for a burger (based on previous reviews) but they do not have a burger anymore, so cannot really comment on food. I am gluten free, and they did have a few (clearly marked options) so I just had fries since they no longer have a burger.
A nice surprise to find this place on a spontaneous date night. The food was over the top good. We had the schnitzelleta (sp?) with spaetzle. So good! The service and ambience were excellent too.
We stopped here after a long day hiking, and boy are we glad we did. We arrived a little closer to closing time than we would have liked, but the service and food were both still incredible. This is a hidden gem with a nice view. You won’t regret giving it a try!
Great quirky bar with excellent food near the water. The crush Brussels sprouts were excellent and the staff were super kind.
Came here for dinner & had the best experience. Our server, Chris, was nothing short of amazing- honestly, the best service I have had in years. He was personable & gave great drink recommendations. The food was 10/10. The crispy brussels sprouts, rosemary parm fries, & the bacon wrapped medjool dates are all a must try!!
