    I've eaten here many times over the years. It is one of my favorite SF restaurants. Great atmosphere and food (always get the pasta with Truffles if it is on the menu), service is first-rate, and it has a fantastic wine program. Always ask for more Parker House rolls.

    Hi Ken, We're so glad Spruce remains one of your favorite SF restaurants. We're happy you enjoy the truffle pasta and parker house rolls as much as we do! Looking forward to seeing you again soon and thank you for your continued support! Best, Natasha
