Sitka and Spruce

Sitka and Spruce, Eastlake

Background - For 3 or more years I've been wanting to try Sitka and Spruce and when my friend Emily and her husband came to town and it was on their short list, I was very excited to check in out.

Atmosphere - It is located in a strip mall next to a subway and convenience store which is a bit odd, but once y0u get inside it is small, cozy and simple.

Service - Very personable, attentive and knowledgeable.

Drink - The boys had beers which they were happy with. The girls had sparkling water, so not much to report.

Food - Everything was delicious. Even the things I didn't think I would like (grilled sardines) were very tasty. This is a small plate concept and even for small plates, I felt like some items were outrageously priced.

Verdict - 3.5 stars. I am glad I tried it. The food was good and it was cute, but not a place I am crazy about and probably not someplace I will return to on my own, but wouldn't object if someone else wanted to go.
