The Spoon & Spindle staff did an excellent job transforming their restaurant for this special Polynesian-themed tasting menu dinner. The food was very tasty and the cocktails were the icing on the cake. The staff was well trained and all helped each other to provide excellent, friendly, & helpful service. When I made the reservation online the was a spot to mention any special occasion. I did put that that the dinner was for my wife's birthday. But, nothing was said or done. This was my only slight disappointment.

I attended their 5 course Cherry Blossom tasting menu. I was greeted promptly and seated, and very shortly afterwards, attended by a staff member that explained courses and optional wine pairing. Service was given by various staff; one overseeing our experience, another serving from the bar and another delivering courses from the kitchen. He picked up that I was interested in some of the more obscure details of each dish and came well prepared, explaining some of the innuendos he noted I had picked up from previous courses. He was a young man and clearly paid attention to details and nuances. It made for an even more spectacular dining experience that I would have imagined in this small restaurant. I will return!

Fabulous! We had fried oysters, mussels in green sauce and the fish of the day. It was Outer Banks, NC tuna, perfectly fresh and expertly prepared. The chef's treat was a plate of hush puppies. I ordered creme brulee for dessert. I'll confess that I rate a chef by their creme brulee and it was perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. Service was great and we are very happy to have this gem in our small town. It was a five minute drive but we would go farther, and do, to have a meal of this quality. The ramp to enter and exit was a challenge for my husband who is a stroke victim.
Business Response:
Hi Cynthia, Thank you so so much for coming out! We're so glad you enjoyed everything, especially dessert! We do apologize that the ramp was challenging, and we'll be happy to have a walker or wheelchair available for your next visit if that would make things easier.

Absolutely wonderful!!! The food is great. The service impeccable. We've gone to brunch on Sundays every weekend because we enjoy it so much!!! The atmosphere is very relaxing....no loud noises, music or anything else that could curtail conversation. All in all, it's just a delightful experience (and I don't even like breakfast all that much!! 8-)

Spoon & Spindle is a welcome addition to The Old Silk Mill in Orange. So far have only had the brunch menu, but every item I've had has been delicious and on the mark. Highly recommend the fried green tomatoes and pimento cheese to get any meal started. Disclosure: I'm related to the chef, but aim to post fair review!

The overall brunch experience was very positive. The food and service were quite good. Orange certainly needs an establishment like this. The only problem was the serving size. No one in our party of four was able to finish their portion and it felt heavy on the stomach afterwards. Otherwise I will definitely come again.

I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch at Spoon & Spindle! The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff enhanced my enjoyment of the delicious Farmers Frittata served in a mini cast iron skillet. Such a clever presentation! I also shared some of the fried green tomatoes appetizer with my friends—just wonderful, as was the fabulous pimento cheese accompaniment!

A refreshing and much needed addition to the Orange foodie scene! Chef Zach and his team created some of the most delicious food north of Charleston. Spoon & Spindle's decor is charming and comforting. Such a cozy spot featuring fabulous fare!

Thanks for the invite to the soft opening. We will be back. The overall experience was great and the following things are just items that we experienced and would have made our visit even better. Both my son and I got Kent’s big breakfast. Over easy eggs cooked perfectly which is hard to find! All good was served at the same time! Bacon was not over cooked! Recommendations. Circle back shortly after meal is served. We did have to wait a little to request the following: salt, ketchup (for taters) , didn’t get pepper with salt. Maybe even ask about ketchup when potatoes are ordered/ served. We know now but definitely tell customers the butter is very sweet. This would be great on toast but not in grits which were also cooked perfectly. Maybe have a regular butter available for grits, it was a surprise after I mixed it in. Staff was very friendly. When is you firm opening? I will bring my wife as soon as it is. Open this weekend??

This has become one of our favorite restaurants in the area. Friendly, welcoming environment with wonderful food. Not an elegant dining room, but once you're seated that seems to disappear. We'll be back!

Overall, great experience! The food was great and the staff were very welcoming. I am GF and my friend is GF and vegan and the chef was able to accommodate to both of us. Only critique is limited milk options for coffee.

Service needs some training. They should know the menu inside out. Good idea to ask patrons if they would like water at sit down. If food item to be shared the appropriate number of small size plates should accompany item. Staff were most pleasant and enthusiastic. We had a great time. Food is terrific. Like menu concept.

We will be back because the food is great. And because we really want this venture to be a success. But I'm not going to bullshit you. The acoustics are so bad we could barely carry on a conversation. You need to find a way to soften the hard scape. Also at the table we had the only thing to look at was bare white walls and the door to the restrooms. Personally, we look for places to be warmer and more inviting. Maybe that would be the ambiance at a different table. Your cousin Teri Pace is one of the best designers we know. Suggest you have a consult. Good luck. Sure hope the venture is successful. We'll be back. Marcia Landau

We had reservations, and sadly, we were given a terrible table (2-top) up against a wall, where my husband faced the back door. After we were seated, several other couples came in (without reservations) and were seated at much nicer tables. So, that was disappointing for our first time visit. The food was fairly good, albeit we saw the Scotch Egg delivered to the table next to us, and the woman didn’t look too happy with the presentation nor how tough it was to cut into it. We had the poached eggs, and the Hollandaise sauce was quite bland. As far as ambience, they definitely need artwork as the walls are a stark white, and the acoustics are not the best. Perhaps a few indoor trees to help get beyond the bland floor tile color. Overall, we will probably go back again, but this time, we will call in a reservation to get a better table!
