text: I've been here several times.  Here's a review of my most recent experience last night.\n\nWe got there on a Friday night around 7:30.  We were going to try Spoon but we didn't make a reservation and we would have had to wait until 9.  It wasn't too crowded and there were several open tables.  My experience with this place is the service is very spotty.  Servers have always been friendly, but even when there is noone there you have to flag them down.  We had to wait to get water, then waited again to order.  We had to flag the waitress down to get the check.  I would only go here if you want a leisurely meal.\n\nThey were out of fresh ginger beer (which they have been the other two times I've been).  Instead I got a grapefruit soda which was good.  The dumplings they gave us were good, as were the fried ripe plantains.  I got the tofu with brown gravy with mashed potatoes and cabbage.  The vegetables were fresh and tasty, but the tofu tasted a little off, and the sauce was good but nothing truly special.   I wish it was spicier and more flavorful.  The cabbage was just alright, and the mashed potatoes were okay.  \n\nThe food is reasonably priced.  My friend treated me so I don't know the entire check, but I think with a drink, appetizer, and tip it was probably around $20.\n\nI'll go back if I'm in that area and I don't feel like waiting for some of the other places.
