Spice - 1st Ave
Spice was first established in 1997 in the upper eastside with the concept to Americanize Thai food in a place with a modern decor.
After enjoying our flavorful Thai food, sip on a Passion Fruit Bellini, Lynchee Martini or a half Carafe of refreshing Pink Asian Sangria. Our hope is that our specialty drinks will make you feel like you are on a beautiful beach in Thailand.

"Definitely a New York restaurant with a loud ambiance and close knit quarters. I became friends with the people seated next to me. However they did not interrupt me while I was eating and the food and service were both outstanding. The portions are adequate, but not too large. The appetizers are good to be shared by two people. Again the food is delicious."

"The food was exceptional, and the waiter was great, but the host at the door was on the phone the whole time, while the poor waiters were trying to seat people. Unorganized. Also, the place was freezing near the door. It was cold outside and the did nothing to remedy that."

"The experience was good, but not great. We thought the ambience of the location on the West Side was nicer. The bar dominates the space here."
