Our friends & we go here for the rum buckets. We don't have a problem with the food or service…read more We were there Saturday Aug 1 celebrating our friend's birthday. We sat outside because last year this is where you had to sit to get the rum buckets. This year outside bar was closed & they had to get them from inside . Had we known this, we would have preferred to sit inside as 2 of us have hearing problems. You can imagine our reaction when live outside music was being set up. Ok. Fine. It was not awful as the volune was kept at a reasonable level. Our problem was when the singer stepped aside & brought 2 little girls up to sing. We are in a public restaurant & should not feel obligated to pay attention & listen to children while WE are trying to enjoy ourselves & celebrate a birthday. Note to the parents: if you want everyone to shhh & pay attention, rent a PRIVATE venue.

I will be back. Lots of food for the money. Loved this place.

A toasty bun and a sweet onion relish, lettuce and tomato rounded it out nicely. It came accompanied by steak fries with a nice crisp to the outside and a warm, soft potato center. Delicious! A Hendricks gin and tonic washed it down perfectly. The waitress was fantastic! They lost a star only because the hostess really made me feel rushed; even though the kitchen was open for another 30 minutes.

Was not crowded at all No bread to the table. They charge a credit card fee which is funny because my credit card is the reason I went there for a promo. I had the scallops and they were pretty good. Not much of a side on these. Wife had braised short rib and that was a good size portion and she enjoyed it. Would like to try the 2nd floor if we go here again.

While visiting from California, we met friends here as halfway point, not knowing what we were walking into so completely bias and giving this place a full chance. It's beautiful inside and out; so why is it so dead? The service was more than subpar. The place was really empty inside, but it took about 10-15 minutes for all of us to get our cocktails and they all came out at different times, so none of us had them together. What's more, due to food allergies and sensitivities, I requested my salad with dressing on the side, with shrimp; because I'm allergic to chicken. My salad came out smothered in dressing, with no protein. The server returned to our table and apologized for the missing protein, taking the salads back to the kitchen and returning with mine topped with chicken... 2 of our meals were completely wrong. At the end of the meal, two salads and and a couple glasses of wine were $93... I have to give them 3 stars. It was just alright at the end of the day.

For the past 30 or so years, "the Spruce," or I guess what I should refer to as the essence of the…read moreSpruce, has retained its neighborhood charm and still provides a fun, casual night out during the week and more lively, raucous entertainment on the weekends. There are two floors, with the bottom being the main dining/bar area with the upstairs being a small bar to go along with a lounge area that can be setup to be a dance floor or band stage. Very versatile setup that can handle a variety of gatherings. There is a side room on the first floor that can be closed off, perfect for small work parties or private events. The qualify of food is quite good under the current ownership. I remember being there for brunch when the chef walked by, said hello, and asked how the everything was. Very friendly guy with an obvious passion for what he's doing. The staff in general looks like it gels together really well. The bartenders in particular, especially on moderately busy nights such as trivia night (Tuesdays), are kind and attentive. Despite being located in a dense residential neighborhood, parking isn't too tricky with a generously sized private lot directly across the street. Under new ownership (the team behind Reading's long-revered Ugly Oyster Drafthaus), it's nice to see the Spruce continue to flourish as it had for decades prior, as sort of a heartbeat of the community.

The waitress was nice as we spoke more with her - friendliness, charm and a smile go a long way. Now the food, we ordered some neat drinks, beers and soft drinks. We had the hummus with pita, the wings, fries and the Bavarian pretzel. Everything was good but the cheese for the pretzel needs to go. I didn't even tried it because it didn't look appealing. I would go again - only if in the area. I will say this - the club music track was amazing!!

I'll never forget watching the continuation of game 5 of the 2008 World Series here when this was…read moreknown as Santino's. I mean I guess it wasn't that long ago, but it feels like a lifetime has passed in between. The bar that night was full of familiar faces. Groups of friends from both Wilson and Wyomissing neighborhoods had been unified with a common aspiration. After nearly two full days of agonizing rain delays, we were all about to witness the Phils bring the city of Philadelphia its first championship in 25 years (since 1983, before so many of us there that night were even born). This isn't Santino's of course, but it's impossible to separate those memories, which is probably the case for many of the folks still coming here who can remember fondly the mingling with family, friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I'm glad this remained a restaurant and didn't turn into another spa or something. It's a bit harder to go to a spa and think hey I used to drink Jaegerbombs right over there by the koi pond and speaker playing soothing rainforest sounds. You can tell just by the sequence of naming conventions (from "Santino's" to "Tino's" to finally "State Hill Craft Cocktails & Kitchen") the kind of vibe they're going for here. The "Tino's" era, though brief, proved that you could keep the neighborhood charm and just slightly ratchet up the presentation, especially in the food and bar departments. Over time the menu has shifted from fine-casual Italian to more upscale comfort food, with wagyu meatloaf, lobster mac & cheese, and the always elegant, always dashing meatloaf patty melt. State Hill Craft Cocktails & Kitchen or whatever iteration of dining establishment will be there 15, 20 years from now (Luxe Carwash expansion perhaps) will bring together members of the community that wouldn't ever otherwise cross paths. New friendships will form, and old ones will strengthen. The atmosphere was electric that night in Santino's nearly 20 years ago. Everyone was elated, even people who didn't watch sports were happy because they could see other people were happy. For one night we could push everything else aside, the weight of responsibility and care lifted from our backs. A reminder that joy could be had, and our existences, though flawed, remained full of promise with even better days ahead. This is probably the least helpful review you've ever read LOL

food was good, mocktails were good, and the waitress was nice…read more food and drinks are insanely expensive. $60 for two people and they wanted 25% tip on top of that. I didn't give them that but still. Our total came out to $78. My friend got scrambled eggs, hash browns, french toast, and an espresso martini. I got Brussel sprouts and a mocktail. The brussel sprouts are $15. It was a starter. The mocktail was $15. Also got my brussel sprouts spilled all over the table from the waitress. She then gave me a second one. I don't even know if they charged me for it. Overall fun experience but probably won't come back because of how expensive it is.
