What People Are Saying About Spice Market - Atlanta
The Editor
Jonathan Baker

In Short – Perched in a sexy position on the second floor of the glamorous W Hotel, Spice Market's dim, chocolate booths and Warhol-like video projection make even the square Midtowner feel cool. Hot, lemongrass towels great you upon seating and the towering Monastery bell chimes give hints of its original location in NY's Meatpacking district. Far from Chinese take-out, this street vendor concept is like gourmet Pan-Asian finger food. Vibrant chicken skewers arrive with a tangy lime dipping sauce, fresh herbs and bib lettuce wrap up the Vietnamese spring rolls but its vinegar-laden…

only thing Jean Georges about the place is the price
by kriyer at Citysearch
Went here for lunch with a bunch of people from work for a colleague's birthday today. Despite being the only customers at the place, our lunch arrived an hour after we ordered it (the menu calls out business lunches as available no later than 20 minutes, not sure what THAT is all about...). This was after my colleague went and chased down the wait staff and clarified that we weren't fillers at the place. The fact that everything was cold clearly indicated that the wait staff were extremely busy serving nobody. This, after I had to suffer a withering look from the same wait staff when I said I was going to share a bento box with my friend...so sue me if i don't gorge myself. AND, to cap it off, I found a hair in my "freezing" coconut soup. The only reason i didn't blow my top was the fact that i didn't want to ruin my friend's birthday. In these hard times especially, when you need to distinguish yourself with quality and service so that people would come to your restaurant, the folks at spice market need to put us (and themselves) out of our collective miseries and close down that place.

"Exotic" and Enjoyable
by atlgirlie at Citysearch
The decor is a fanciful Westerner's take on Asia...and it does take you to an imaginary peaceful and exotic place. Service was very good, and the menu was nice. The portions were small (as to be expected), but the food (cod and short ribs) tasted good. As others have said, yes, you can get cheaper food on Buford Hwy, but you are coming here for the ambience and atmosphere, which is magical. Nice, inventive cocktails, as well. Loved the banana, kiwi, pineapple dessert with white pepper ice cream and coconut macaroons. This place is pricey, but it is great for a special occasion.
- Pros: Beautiful decor, good food and service
- Cons: Pricey

Great place to impress a date!

I took my date for Valentines Day and had a WONDERFUL experience, the food was AMAZING, obvioulsy the portions are quite small, but that was too be expected. It is also family style dining, which was a HUGE PLUS, it was nice sharing food together and it made dinner fun. I highly recommend for any occassion.
- Pros: Atmosphere, Famile Style Dining and Food Quality
- Cons: Price
