    If you’re visiting Orange, do yourself a favor and eat at Spoon & Spindle. Kim was the best—friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. The whole experience felt less like dining at a restaurant and more like being invited to a friend’s house who just happens to be an executive chef on their night off, creating incredible dishes with a fun, personal spin. We shared appetizers and desserts, and every one was fantastic. Our favorites were the crispy loaded Mac & Cheese, Goat Cheese and, Thai Chili Shrimp to start. For dessert, the tres Leche, Mocha Mousse and Beignets were all outstanding. The mocktails were creative, refreshing, and paired perfectly with the meal. We’ll definitely be returning again and again every time we visit Orange. Spoon & Spindle has earned a permanent spot on our list of favorite restaurants!
