Enjoyed the Food

by mnriver at Citysearch

The friendly staff made us very welcome in this relaxing environment. All three of us enjoyed our food, and we will definitely revisit. The Tofu Scramble was flavored well, with the vegetables cooked perfectly.

• Pros: Great environment
• Cons: Weren't any

For all the press they get you'd think they knew how to cook.

The waiter picked his nose in fron of us and wiped it on his apron.

The owner tried to schmooze us, yet when we told her of our distaste for bland watery food took umbrage with the commentary.

For what is supposed to be an upscale place I find it to be little more than a dump full of flakes who pick their noses or act like passive aggressive wimps.

We left booger boy a napkin for a tip.

• Pros: absolutley nothing
• Cons: They lie

Tofuuuu

by AnnieK at Citysearch

I had brunch at Spoonriver a few weeks ago, and I have eaten there 2 or 3 other times. Most recently, I ordered the delicious scrambled eggs, which were mixed with chevre and topped with truffle oil. My friend, however, ordered the tofu scramble, and as soon as the server set it down, I could smell the ginger and spices steaming up from it.

I happened to read the last comment about this dish, and I couldn't disagree more. Although I only had a few bites, I found the dish to be tasty and well-seasoned. A lot of restaurants have a token tofu dish for vegetarians, but this one was artfully prepared unlike the tasteless, oily preparations I've had elsewhere.

Other than the fact that it was a bit warm in the dining room, I can't think of any other issues with my meal. I would definitely return there for brunch after the market.

• Pros: Vegetarian Brunch Items
• Cons:  Warm dining room
