"Our server was excellent, apologizing for the delay in receiving our drink orders do to short staff. The room is clean and welcoming with our table comfortable. Our appetizer, fried calamari was excellent although it was a surprise to have it have vegetables include in the mix. Well prepared. This is where it went downhill. The Scallops order was incorrect, although prepared well enough, it was the wrong order. This was the better of the two. I ordered the the Cioppino. The dish arrived and was beautiful to look at. That is about it. Of course it is partly my fault as it isn 't crab season however this was the most tasteless and tired crab I ever had. Obviously frozen (unfortunately for a long time). The minute I ordered it I know it was a mistake. The rest of the seafood was poor at best. Frozen and possibly refrozen shrimp. Tired mussels which looked like they had all of the life pulled out of them, ok clams, barely there fish which I guess was a replacement for the scallops noted in the menu. It had been years since I used to visit this place (happily) with my parents. They should not be allowed to have the name Spenger’s Fresh Fish Grotto . I was pleased to see McCormick Schmick took over this establishment, having visited the Tigard Oregon restaurant however Spenger 's must have missed the memo. Will not be back."
