Dinner is always amazing at Spartina, I am not surprised it's such a popular hotspot for local and in town visitors, and the celebrity crowd. The courtyard is one of the best in tow, it's like city in a large garden with olive trees, greenery all around, lights and cute lamps lighting the tables The food is amazing, new spring menu in effect right now and It's delicious and heathy. The snap peas are amazing, Lobster tortolini, the spinach, asparagus veggie pizza is so yummy, the duck amazing and the octopus started one of my faves. Get there soon, but make a res to be sure to get a table. The owner, chef Steven Kalt is also so gracious and nice to visit your table have a little bit of a chat or discussion..check on your meal.. Good guy.

The drinks were okay, but they were out of Bullet Bourbon. The food was good, but the steak had to be sent back for being undercooked (it was served rare--we asked for medium), but that's better than overcooking the meat, right?? We sat on the patio which had a nice vibe. They played music, but it wasn't over the top or too loud. Service was friendly, and they were attentive without hovering, which I enjoyed. Everyone was very helpful.

I have never in my entire life been so disrespected by a restaurant. I did everything at every turn to give him the benefit of the doubt and the manager, Sam, was the nastiest person I’ve ever met. Treated me and my friend like pathetic little girls that he didn’t want anything to do with. We were so polite never raised our voice, tried so hard to level with him at every single thing they did wrong and he was still one of the most horrible people I’ve ever met. I have been here approximately every month for three years and I can unfortunately say that I will never ever go back. I will actively tell everyone I know to never ever eat at this restaurant. I am so so sad because this place meant so much to me but I have never been treated with such as respect by anyone in my life and I would never put myself through that again.

Food was disappointing and we've eaten here a lot in the past couple of years. Fries were overcooked and hard, calamari was overly salty, not sure what happened but the service, which used to be wonderful, also was in need of improvement.

Lobster pasta was too salty, but the short rib tortellini was great. Ended up waiting a while for food, which is a bit off putting since they emphasize ordering everything at once so “the kitchen can pace it out” Chicken “croquetas” were not croquettes - more like chicken nuggets / chicken karaage. Not seating inside at the moment. I would come just to get the short rib pasta to go.

The food and ambiance were great. I don't understand the 18% charge restaurants are putting on the bill. It's the restaurant's job to pay the back of the house. I totally get things are expensive and employees are hard to find. That's why I like to TIP. Maybe the servers can TIP out to the dishwashers?? Don't make your operational problems my problem. Just raise your prices or find a way to keep your employees. Very disappointed. I won't go back to places where they do this.

I took my mom, my wife and our two kids out for a Mother’s Day dinner. The restaurant was very busy so it felt like our server was spread a bit thin and the time between us sitting down, ordering drinks and ordering food were a bit longer than I would have liked. That said, the food was delicious, our server was very nice and the rest of the wait staff and food servers were great so I can look past some of the slower moments. I will absolutely go back and would recommend spartina to anyone that asks.

Spartina location, outdoor dining and service are very good. However, their $17.00 Bruschetta with chicken liver pate was served on burnt blackened bread, was taken back, redone and returned still burnt which overwhelmed the pate taste. Someone in the kitchen either doesn't care or isn't trained. My friend had the $27 Black and White Garlic, Calabrian Chilies, Spaghettini, Pecorino. He said it was good and my Penne alla Vodka, Tomato, Cream, Parmigiano Reggiano was very good. Our waitress, Isabella R should be cloned and spread throughout LA restaurants. She is one of the cheeriest, attentive waitress around and she had to work through some food oops events. Finally, be aware that the restaurant adds 18% touted for benefit costs for the employees. I don't get it, How about bury it in your prices? What's next an extra $10 for electricity and water and toilet paper in the restrooms? Also, be aware that the busboy that we had plopped down and poured two glasses of water that had a cost of $8.00 without asking if we wanted tap water? Really. The owners are coming across as very aggressive in shaking down their customers.

There was some insane, ongoing, and unexplained hold up with our order. The waitress was very nice and apologetic about it, and offered us a free dessert. But for pretty good food at excellent food prices, waiting an extra 30 minutes to eat, and being charged for a whole olive ciabatta/mascarpone situation when we asked for some bread with the meatball appetizer we ordered, not great.

This restaurant was simply amazing! The ambiance great. The service was supreme. The vibe was sensational and the food, IMPECCABLE! Mariana, the manager came over and introduced herself, welcomed us and thanked us for dining there. There are so many superlatives to describe the dining experience at Spartina, but I feel I’m not giving it justice. You just have to go and I guarantee, you will not be disappointed!
