"If you would like to "Spice it up for Dinner" try the Spice Market.
Great Atmosphere and guaranteed a good time. The Fish is fresh, and one of their specialty dishes is Duck.
All the food was excellent tasting..................................and this is a great place to share with your friends."

"We were visiting from out of town and a friend recommended Spice Market. I had lunch with my daughter on a Saturday afternoon. The service was good. They serve family style so whatever comes out first, you get. We had the pad Thai and grilled salmon salad. Both were delicious."

"The appetizers were great, but the maincourses were a great dissapointment we had green curry, tofu with black bean sauce and crispy pork and broccoli and corn. The pork was ok, but everything Else tasted like it came from a can. And come on, steamed broccoli peaces with no flavonoideja at all. The worst part was the service. When we were seated, we waited for ten minutes for someone to ask us if we wanted drinks. The waiter recomended that our tuo vegetarians would share two salads and when they came to the table he tod us that the other contained fishsauce. It was Also almost inpossible to get anything to drink after our First order."

"As a frequent dinner here, our party enjoyed every morsel of our delicious meal. Such an interesting combination of flavors that are always perfection. I usually leave happy. But our service was so extraordinarily bad, we ended our evening just standing near the front door observing the activity in the restaurant as a whole to see if this was just our very poor waiter (attitude, abrupt and dismissive manner) or it was a trend in the entire place. Observation pointed up a lot of activity but general unprofessional non-chalance. The staff needs a major re-training exercise."

"Went to SM for a birthday. Initially, this was a reservation for two, but that soon grew to five. The staff was very accommodating this request, while only pushing the reservation back an hour.
However, we arrived 1/2 early to enjoy a drink at the bar. When I checked in at the front, I was told we would be right on time for my reservation. Our reservation time came and went, and I was repeatedly told, "the table is being set." This carried on for 1/2 hour. We were finally seated 30 minutes after our reservation time (an hour after arriving). These things happen, I understand...
THEN, the servers were incredibly impersonal, and only showed face a few times throughout the meal. We saw him 4 times through the meal and were rushed out.
Bummer!"

"We hade the excellent tasting menu which was really appreciated except the fatty pork belly. Really superb salmon sashimi and great chicken samosa. Servings were just the right size. Service was very friendly. Beautiful and exciting decor but the noise level was far too high, we could not hear each other and went away with a slight headache. If it were possible to book a table in a quieter corner I would definitely do it next time."

"The food was delicious pan Asian street food. We reserved one of the back rooms, the Saigon Room and had our own private couches and "cave" and we are so glad we did. The main dining area was mobbed and so loud at the height of service on a Sat. night. The food was delicious and the service friendly and accommodating."

"No matter when we go to Spice Market we always have a great experience. Recently went for lunch with a large party of out of town friends. They had never been to a restaurant like this. They loved the food and the service was friendly and helpful without being obtrusive. They accomodated our party easily without crowding us. The atmosphere is unique. Their cocktails are exceptional. I like their new sharing of dishes option which was the perfect choice for this particular group. Will return again. I recommend sitting on the main floor near the windows. Put in a special request for that along with your reservation."

"The place is gorgeous and the food is worthy of the space. They could use a little work on the reservation timing. We showed up at 9:40 for a 10pm reservation but weren't seated until 10:25. The annoying bit was they claimed they couldn't find us despite sitting at the bar in direct sight of the host's station. Obviously, weekends find the place deservedly packed. Plan accordingly."

"This restaurant was a bit of a disappointment after all the hype. The restaurant is very noisy and I found the tables and seating uncomfortable. The cocktail I had was too sweet and way overpriced.The crispy sushi dish was delectable but all of the other dishes we ordered were just so so. Also, felt the waiter was a bit pushy. All in all, this restaurant was a big no."

"Great location and decor. Vibrant.
Table service wasn't great (ended up topping up our own wine from the ice bucket) and felt that the seafood was slightly undercooked, which put my wife off.
Having said that the non seafood dishes were full of flavour and very tasty."

"really enjoy this place and have been coming for a birthday celebration for years, even was given a private room on the bottom floor once when I had a party of 6 - love the tasting menu- did not love the new addition of the pork belly- WAY too fatty - rest of the menu was very good- they changed the way they do a group serve so there was much less food with the tasting menu this time. Still enjoyable, just surprising."

"The one big issue we had was the timing, especially since we went with a tasting menu. We had a pretty good pause between the first two courses, and then the next three came on top of each other. I feel like the waiter was surprised each time we were brought something new - shouldn't he be aware of what was happening to his tables? I wish we had been asked about drinks prior to the dessert. Related to the time issue, the cloth we were given with which to clean our hands (?) was cold, but a tad bit warm on the very inside of the roll. Should it have been hot, but did not get to us in time?
Server was friendly, informed, flexible. Atmosphere was great - vibrant but not noisy, beautiful, very unique."

"While the Chelsea neighborhood is packed with places to see and be seen, I find Spice Market to be the most impressive place to take guests. The Indian/Thai fusion menu is unlike any other restaurant, and the ambiance makes you feel like you are vacationing in a distant land. Perfect for big groups of all ages, or a romantic dinner. Prices are low by neighborhood standards and quality is extraordinary. Everything is so delicately spiced, and plenty of mild dishes to please everyone at the table."

"As a group of 7, we had delicious food at Spice Market and were seated (without requesting) in a private booth, which was great. The staff cooked special noodles for my two kids and were helpful - however, there were so many different servers that they ended up having a communication problem and bringing an extra bowl of noodles, for which we were then charged. When we pointed it out, the server refused to accept it was their mistake at first! It was eventually rectified but the mistake rather spoiled the end of the evening. They were also slow to collect the bill, having been very attentive earlier on.
I would recommend the food to anyone, but the restaurant needs to make sure their servers communicate with one another."

"Jean-Georges restaurants and food are always exciting. The food and ambiance at spice market were great however our experience (lunch) was marred by terrible service. The wait person did not know the menu well, could not answer any questions I had. My husband had ordered the wine pairing with his prix fixe lunch and did not receive the wines along with the food or before each course - he had to ask another waiter ( our waiter had long disappeared after taking the order) for the wine with the main course, that produced no results, so he finally had to ask a manager before he was served the wine - this was at least 15 minutes after he had finished the main course. The wait between courses was also interminably long."

"We had the tasting menu. The waitress was not clear about how it would be served. Food was presented directly in front of/ on my plate, but apparently it was intended to be shared with another person at my table who sat across/diagonal from me. I embarrassingly ate her portions too. They were so tiny i had no idea they were meant for anyone beyond myself. Also-- they forgot to have a candle/dessert for my friend's birthday -- despite I called ahead for that days in advance. I wish i could get my money back."

"Each time I leave this place asking myself "Should I keep giving this place a chance?" Great drinks, good food and an fantastic interior design, make me insist with this place, always hoping to get a different waiter next time. "I hope this time I get good customer service", I think, but although I do get a different waiter, I never get good service, NEVER."

"This is my favorite restaurant in the city. It's pricey, yes. But I literally SAVE UP money to dine here for special occasions. Every single bite is perfection, the service is a well oiled machine, and the ambiance is everything I love about New York City. Steps from the High Line, Spice Market's location makes for a great date night. My husband and I just went for our 7 year wedding anniversary. And I loved every minute of it."

"I will start with the less good things first : as we arrived a bit earlier than our reservation we were redirected to the bar to wait. As there were no places free we decided to sit down at a little table next to the bar. After 15min waiting we finally catched a waiter in order to get something to drink. Unfortunately for us, there where no table service, but you had to order yourself at the bar, struggling through the people sitting already at the bar. Do not be surprised if they keep your credit card at the bar in hostage, as long as your are not sitting at your table.
Nevertheless, once at the table we really enjoyed the experience. The ambiance of the restaurant is romantic an the food was really excellent. I'll recommend it for this."

"The food was wonderful. Negatives were noise level (music was way too loud) and skimpiness of seafood in one of the dishes."

"A neighborhood gem eventhough the venue is huge and usually hard to get a reservation for dinner. The pork buns were delicious as well a the pork belly. Love the rainbow chard and cabbage slaw. Dessert could step it up a bit. Was disappointed in the strawberry rhubarb crumble, the pepper on the pistachio ice cream needs to be eliminated. Not the right type of spice! Service is always wonderful!"

"The food was outstanding. However the service was not goodWe were put beside a door next to the outdoor dining entrance. Thedoor was being opened every 5 minutes. We asked to be moved to anothertable & was told it could be an hour wait! We had reservations for 10pm and they had alreadysat us late as they were 1/2 hr behind. So we ended up freezing all night brcause we did not want to eat atmidnight! It was miserable! Twice the wait staff brought us the wrong order!"

"We had to wait for 40 minutes past our reservation time. The waiter pushed way more food than was necessary. Avacados in salad were unripe, short ribs were so dry they were not edible. Asked waiter to cancel the rest of the food that had not yet arrived, he hesitated until we complained about how bad the food was. To his credit, he took those two dishes off the bill, and allowed us to cancel rest of order."

"Of course the food is always wonderful, but this time, although the waiters were very pleasant, the actual service was questionable.
First, the place was empty and we were given a table near door to outside that all employees used to go outside to smoke. door opened every minute - rushing cold air & smoke in. when we asked to change table, were given table next to entrance into restaurant - with all other tables empty. tasting menu served even before our drinks and chip nosh was. Food was served too fast as though we were being rushed through. When we asked to slow down, they didn't.

this is my favorite restaurant, and this visit was extremely disappointing. I had very special guests in from France that I brought, and was embarasse"

"I've been here several times. Each time I return I am amazed at the decor and the energy. It is a hot spot that is loud, crowded and fun! Don't go there if you are looking for a quiet place to talk. Go with a group and enjoy great drinks and a vibrant scene. Food is great, just tough to choose - so going with a group is great so you can share dishes. Women - don't wear skinny heels - street outside of restaurant is cobblestone. It is very uneven - wear platforms so you don't break an ankle."
