    Midday on a weekday is the way to hit it. Sommelier > waiter.

    Tuff to park, need to use valet. Pricey food as are the wines. Little noisy. Kinda place to be and be seen for local swills. Not conducive for business dinners. Just my HO

    If you ask politely, the bartender might make you a Blue Blazer cocktail.

    SF has never been mistaken for a fine dining town, yet the two-year old Spruce has proved to be an absolute homerun in its ritzy Laurel Heights environs. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

    A great place for a dressed-up dinner. The food spans a variety of cuisines but the emphasis remains on local and organic fare.

    I also agree with sitting in the bar if you can. Very lively crowd. But the main dining area is nice too.

    From the same owners who run the Village Pub in Woodside; cool hangout - the bar is better than the restaurant dining room in my opinion. The Spruce burger is awesome - well worth it

    Spruce makes their own pastrami. Dry and lean - I prefer moister pastrami... However it's quite delicious!

    Foie and waffle. Perfection on a plate. Eat in silence and savor the moment. Then, order another. It disappears all too quickly...
