SPENGER'S FRESH FISH GROTTO

loved it and our sever matthew was fantastic and on “es”!

Restaurant was under staffed. Only one server for the entire dinning room. The meal was lukewarm by the time it arrived.

customer service is excellent! eating is good. I want to see more baked seafood options on the menu. a beautiful place to go for a date, after work, and for special occasions. Voir le carte

Very disappointed, it is a different owner, the food was not good, the service was bad, the bathrooms were dirty and no supplies, this used to be our favorite spot in Berkeley, not anymore

The service was so bad from the moment we walked into the restaurant we never got seated and left. Our reservation was at 6, we waited a half an hour and still could not get seated. Restaurant was not clean. The hostess was rude to us and she disappeared for minutes several times while we waited. She sat people without reservations before us.

Spenger's is an INSTITUTION! All of our party went there with our families when we were growing up. But, the evening we were there, we MUST have had a new server. We had to ask for butter, water, wine glasses...and we were given the bottle of wine and told to pour it ourselves. (Again, had to ask for the glasses...and two different sizes were brought out! It just got to the point, where we had to laugh! We know they are going through an ownership change, so we can just keep our fingers crossed that the new managers will work on training the team!

The occasion was my Mom's 99th birthday. Spengers was very accommodating. Our server Matthew was absolutely delightful and took care of our every need. The Executive Chef came out and spoke with us as well and he was quite the character and all around fun guy. The food: New England Clam Chowder is outstanding. Several of us at our table enjoyed the Lobster Bisque and it was very generous with deliciously large chunks of lobster. My Mom enjoyed her Parmesan crusted sole and I my Linguini with clams...YUM! The fish and chips fell short in a co diner's opinion. He's a bit of a connoiseur of fish and chips and he didn't care for the breading nor the ratio of breading to fish. Sister's mussels we...

that made me very sad: my father took me here when I was a child in the 70s, and I remember that it was a wonderful family restaurant with fantastic eating. Unfortunately, my wife and I brought our children here last Sunday and it is no longer the same place. the restaurant was about 1/3 full, we were not visited by our waiter for more than 15 minutes and came only after I informed our hostess that we had not yet been seen, our boy came to the table at room temperature, as it might have been omitted) two tables, which were after the exact same size party received their food before we did it, drinks were not asked after filled. all the time, two waiters served a table of 7 near us, telling sw...

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 lo... Voir le carte
