a restaurant with a long table
Carla O.

This place has so much potential to be a 5 star place . I had lunch here around 3pm on a Saturday and it was empty . My first impression was wow it's so pretty here why is it empty? Our waitress was very nice but left us unattended for long periods of time even though we were the only people in there, let's just say it was a long wait to order anything additional or even ask for water. My group of 4 shared the burrata tartufa (this was delicious) , the peaches and cream salad ( this was interesting but the presentation was not the best). I got their famous on cloud 9 smoke show and it was pretty cool . For entree I ordered the short rib bolognese based on the good reviews but somehow mine was flavorless- it had the potential to be great and it was a let down , I did not finish it . Based on that I didn't get dessert. Overall, I'd want to give this place a second chance because it's located in a great place (next to IPlay America ), the place is beautiful and it's near my home. I'd just recommend they focus on bettering the presentation of the food, adding some more flavor/spices to the food and being more attentive to the guests : they could be an amazing place !

Hands down the best selection of drinks I've ever came across in a while. My sister and I came here for a dinner date, it was very cute and cozy. For starters I ordered a cocktail called What's up Doc, it's a carrot base drink and man oh man it was delicious! It was nothing how I imagined it to be. Shout out to whoever thought of that! I also tried the Passion fruit Spritz and the To Kill A Rose. Both very favorable, you can barely taste the liquor which is a gift and a curse LOL! The food was AMAZING! My favorite out of everything I ordered was The Surf and Turf Skewers! I'm not even going to go into details just trust my judgment LOL! You will NOT be disappointed. The Chicken Lollipops and The Beef Short Rib bolognese were also different and good menu items I've never had before. They also over brunch and I'm definitely here for a good brunch! I will for SURE be back here! And I Absolutely recommend giving this place a try! Although I feel the service could've been better, we had to wait just about 20 mins for a server to come to our table. No water was brought over to us either. Once our server come, my sister and I brought to her attention how long it took someone to acknowledge us after we were seated. She for sure made up for it all and did a great job as our server the rest of our time there.

We decided to stop in for brunch on the weekend. Portions are pretty small for the price so just keep that in mind. My party enjoyed the unlimited mimosa choices! Hot coffee was good but it wasn't unlimited which was a bummer. Ambiance is very dark but volume was low so we were able to talk and chat. Desserts were delicious. Overall this place is a bit pricey for small portions so I'm not sure I would return in the future.

Family and friends got together for Easter dinner. When I arrived I parked in the plaza lot. I walked in and was greeted and sat at the bar first. We were served by Angelina, and she was great. I got the vesper martini, and it was tasty. We then moved over to the table, and Enea was our server, and he was good. For my meal, I got the chicken Parmesan with pasta and wanted the thicker pasta, but they did not substitute. I had to add a little salt, but it wasn't too bad. The portion was huge. Everyone else enjoyed their meals. We also finished the meal off with a dessert board, which was very good. We had a really good experience.

I was excited to try this new place that opened up besides iPlay America, hoping that food quality has improved. The good. - Place is much better vibe then before. - All the food presentation is good. They are definitely photo-genic. Not-so-good. - First of all, a restaurant must have tasty food, everything else comes second but this place wasn't there. Chicken had a smell and tasted old, definitely frozen/thawed with dark bone. I told the waitress it was terrible but she told me that some people like it and some don't. I doubt anyone likes this. Waste of money for 3 legs @$20. Risotto and Mac could've cooked for like 30s more. Cast Away was ok, and they should make traditional garlic bread on the GTO, not the Restaurant Depot bread stick. - Service was slower than a Llama. If you want to pay top dollar for instagram photos, go for it. If not, just go for some drinks and the dessert looked good also.

This place is an absolute gem! It is brand new, and it's just open perfect spot to celebrate a birthday dinner, which is exactly what I did! Every inch of this place is a photo op, it looks like a real botanical garden in there. Both my friend and myself tried the to kill a, rose, absolutely delicious strong, and came with a rose, petal on top. Such a beautiful touch. We then shared the complementary whipped ricotta with homemade flatbread chips. Yum. We also share the surf and turf skewers, and the burrata. So creamy and delicious. Super tasty! Also shared some pasta the agnolotti was so good. We also have the brussels sprouts, the creamed kale and the truffle mac & cheese For dessert I had an enormous milkshake completed sparkler it was such a fun time!

Let's Spoon gin-based cocktail
Michael D.

Usually when I temper my expectations I come away impressed. Despite all the glamorous pictures of the atmosphere online, which to be fair made me think it was like a space in an amusement park being next to iPlay America, I was expecting gimmicky food and drinks. Instead what I got mostly matched the atmosphere, which is nicer and looks less convoluted in person: an excellent cocktail, a solid beer pour, and a reasonably good appetizer. All in a restaurant environment that is a modern version of hip and trendy, and that isn't negatively affected by being in an indoor arcade space. Let's Spoon was an expertly-crafted concoction of gin and raspberry jam, lending itself to a slightly thicker-than-average consistency for the cocktail. I would have joked that a spoon in the drink would make the aesthetic, but my friend ordered one after and got a tiny spoon with raspberry jam in her drink. This was definitely on the stronger side, with enough gin to round out the drink and make it feel worthwhile. I can tell it's a good, if not great, cocktail because I was able to happily sip on it. As a cocktail bar, Loaded Spoon is relaxing and markedly better than the average restaurant. I ordered the Thai Chicken Skewers, and this was also better than expected: the Thai chili sauce had prominent flavors, the chicken was barbecued well if not a tad overcooked, and the bread served with it sopped up the wonderful sauce nicely. Now I'm slightly curious about the entrees. Desserts in particular have my attention, as what I saw looked delicious and multi-layered with fresh whipped cream and numerous sweet elements. The milkshakes I saw ordered looked better than competing milkshake menus at other restaurants that do over-the-top milkshakes with cake, etc. on top. All of the desserts looked to be outrageous. This is a higher-end establishment, so do expect to come here for a special occasion or a night out for drinks. The bar has plenty of space, with a couple of benches and seats wrapping around the room. The dining room tables also looked comfortable, and well-constructed like a nicer Atlantic City casino restaurant. A lot of reviews mention the service, and the bartenders were pretty much on top of their game. I appreciate how they provided water as well without having to ask for it. The front desk staff were accommodating enough to questions. All-in-all I had a wonderful time at The Loaded Spoon, which is what matters in a cocktail bar.

I came to visit the Christmas pop up. Aesthetically this was done very well. The idea of the restaurant near iplay America and top golf is a good idea. The hot honey calamari was good. But the entrees were awful. Pasta was not fully cooked, the shrimp scampi was merely just shrimp and garlic sauce and the pan seared salmon dish I asked for extra seared was barely seared and the combination of that dish with farro and sweetened cranberries was terrible. At least our waitress was very nice and accommodating about our issues with the food. But would not recommend.

My girls and I stopped here for Dinner on a Friday night. It's a lovely location. It's inside the IPlay America center. The ambiance is lovely the service was super friendly and attentive Gina was our server she is great! We tried a variety of food options and drinks. The drinks are so creative and delicious my favorite food items was the scallops dish and dessert was the peach dessert forget the exact name. All in all we had a wonderful time

Had a great dinner here. Went on a Tuesday night but I definitely want to come back on a Friday night or for their Sunday Brunch! I loved the short rib bolognese, the one last kiss dessert was also delicious! We ordered the jumbo scallop dish which was so tasty and cooked to perfection! I also really enjoyed the chicken lollipops which were tender and juicy! Overall a great meal here and I will be back!

Service is fantastic! Ambiance is great! Food is good. Open night food was fantastic. We've been back several times and drinks are on point but the food rating fell in my opinion from 5 stars to 3.8

Pork trio

I came here last night with 2 of my gfs. They have never been here so they wanted to try it. This is my 2nd go around. It's a nice place, atmosphere is nice, waiter/waitresses are nice, there big drinks are cool and taste pretty good. From the food stand point I wasn't impressed last night. My gf tried the lobster bisque - it was ok. I ordered that clam pasta dish - wasn't impressed by it and left a weird sweet fishy taste that wasn't pleasant. Weird way to describe the taste right? I didn't even finish it. When I took home for my husband to taste it, he was not a fan. Sigh - I dont know if I should try this place again or just make my way down to Tommy's Tavern at least there j know the food is good and not ridiculously priced.

Potato croquettes
Crystal M.

Came in for a Wednesday dinner. There were just 3 other people at the time. We sat in the outdoor space. It's all decorated well. Our waitress was friendly and took our appetizer order right away. We had the potato croquettes which mentioned bacon in the description but for sure there was none to be found. The mashed potato was barely warm and lacked any flavor. We finished the app before the waitress made it back to take our main order so we decided to skip it.

2 drinks! Food needed seasoning
