    Our waitress was a little rude, but service was good. Maybe we were a little difficult to handle, being 4 teenage girls and parents and grand parents who had a hard time deciding what we wanted and she was anticipating that. Must remember that good service doesn't always mean a smile.

    Service was poor. Appetizer arrived cold and with one entree. Remaining entrees came after the first diner was half through this meal. No apology from staff.

    Our dinner at Spice 28 was good. The food was pretty tasty and the portions were ample. They were bombarded with a huge party which left us flagging down servers the entire night. One of our entrees was forgotten and had to be ordered again. They did eventually take half off the cost of the dish. All in all, a decent place to have an affordable dinner in the city.

    We went on Valentine’s Day so this would not be fair to rate them as it was any other night. They overbooked and put us in a front table by the bar instead of in dining doom. We sat there for a half hour and still had not seen anyone so we decided to just get up and order through the bar at our table. They were nice but it wasn’t your typical service and but they did end up getting us what we need. We actually never saw a server the entire night. The food was good but to say it was a great experience is far from it. The two other tables by us experienced the exact same thing I just think we were probably a little nicer about it

    We decided to try this place on Valentines Day. Of course we expected a long wait, however, it took us over an hour to get any of our food because of how busy they were. The waitress and the manager were both very apologetic and accommodating due to this inconvenience. Even though the food took forever it was so worth it. Our meals and appetizers were delicious. We will definitely be coming back, just hopefully when it isn’t a holiday.

    Let me start by saying my Husband and I are food connoisseurs. We love to travel and eat!! And we everything anything and everything. Well we thought we would try a new place for our anniversary and boy was that a mistake. The service was okay but also took 30 mistakes to cash out. None of the food was good. We couldn’t believe how bad it was based and recent reviews. The pork belly was like slop and tasted bad, the lemon grass soup had no lemon grass, and the octopus was mushy. Maybe they were short handed and that’s why the service took so long but the food.....

    The best thing about Spice 28 is that the cost is reasonable for decent food and cocktails.
