Saki's Spin A Yarn Restaurant

Went to celebrate a special occasion with friends. Bartender was fantastic! She made excellent drinks and was so personable!Beautiful atmosphere and loved the variety of small rooms so it was easier to have conversations rather than one large dining room. Food was pretty good. Ordered:Fried zucchini was loved by the whole table. Sweet corn soup that was very light but not too filling. I thought it would be thicker like a chowder but was more of a thin broth. Caesar salad was perfect with crisp romaine and a delicious and tangy dressing. Filet mingion was perfectly cooked medium rare. Would have liked some compound butter or a peppercorn sauce with it but otherwise delicious. Scalloped potatoes were dry, not something i would get again. Shared a variety of desserts. Tiramisu was good but a little too sweet. Chocolate mousse was nice. Best were the berries in cream. Could have eaten a second serving of that! Chocolate raspberry cake was ok.

Do yourself a favor and take someone you care about to this restaurant. The atmosphere was great, Classic Steakhouse vibes with an old Timey Character. Our Server, a tall gentleman with an accent was very attentive, gave a quick check in after dropping off our food to make sure everything was right. (A forgotten technique of great service imho) Now for the food. The 18oz Rib Eye was a perfect medium rare, delicious! The Lobster Risotto was perfectly cooked, unctuous yet balanced between the sweetness of the lobster and the rich risotto flavors. For dessert we shared a chocolate crusted cheesecake with a fresh berries and a strawberry compote drizzle. In conclusion everything was perfect right down to the ratio of grenadine to soda in my fiancé's Shirley Temple. I will most definitely be coming back!

Went there for Valentine day dinner and ordered from their special Valentine's Day menu.I ordered eggplant Parmesan. Other than veggie and potato, there is two small piece of eggplant, very thinly sliced, heavy and oily crust, placed on top of a big splatter of tomato sauce! The cheese is one piece of sliced Parmesan cheese on top of the eggplant. The $40 entree tasted like something out of a school cafeteria.My gf ordered the halibut. The fish is cooked to no flavors. Eating it was like chewing on a piece of plastic. The Orzo on the side was cold, dried, and tasted stale. Maybe a leftover from day before? The $49 entree was much less quality than expected.for a $100 dinner (before tips), the only things met expectation was the side of veggie and mashed potato. Will not go again!

Good food the best service would come back again the waiters checked on us at least 20 times making sure everything was right the food wow we ordered the short ribs they were so big we felt like cavemen we did have leftovers they did pack them for us and they wrap the bone for our dogs she wasn't in heaven when we gave it to her at home

Although I've lived a large part of my life in Fremont, I've never been to Spin A Yarn Restaurant- until yesterday!Even with a big sign, it's somehow easy to miss. Regardless, they have a private parking lot that is quite spacious. Even on a busy Wednesday evening, I was able to find parking easily. The restaurant is very cute. It has that classic, low-key, homey feel to it. It's a little dark and chill, which is what I like. They were very busy last night but we were seated immediately. A nice table for two that was just the right size near the firewall area. Our server was very nice, attentive, fast and informative. She was able to answer all of our questions without any hesitation; she really knew her menu. The food was magnificent. I ordered the eggplant parmesan which comes with a side of mashed potatoes and veggies. It was a good portion size and filled me up without feeling heavy. The bread brought to the table when first seated was to die for. We had a couple of glasses of wine that we thoroughly enjoyed. The server comes back and refills your glass from a separate, smaller glass on the table. That was pretty cool.Overall, I had a great experience here. The service was good. The food was good. The Christmas decorations were excellent. They had the Warriors game playing at the bar, making it easy to peek every now and then to see how the game is going. Just a good time in general. I plan to be back soon and often!

What can I say- yes- and yes again. I have been very lucky lately . Get the rib eye - get the rib eye again. You will be happy you did. I've been getting good service lately. I'm truly lucky. The waiter was helpful and he was right on the money with the rib eye. I don't eat big cuts usually. But this time . I splurged and I'm in love. Marbled and very juicy- the veggies are crisp and fresh. I will be back

It's crazy that I've watched this restaurant on Kitchen Nightmares (Gordon Ramsey's show) but haven't gotten to try it until now. TL;DR = The food is "okay". Service / Ambiance is great though.[[ Location / Restaurant ]]It's on the curve of Warm Spring's Blvd and the sign for the store is humongous so you cannot miss it. They have a large parking lot so parking shouldn't be an issue as well.The Restaurant itself was decorated very nicely for the holiday season and it was very lively inside. Lots of people at the bar enjoying themselves and everyone smiling and having a good time. I think there is definitely good vibes there if you choose to eat inside.Even though I was doing a to-go order, I thought everyone was very friendly and they made the process of picking up pleasant.[[ Food ]]As the TL;DR stated, the food is just alright. You can get variations of the same food at other restaurants that taste so much better. (E.g., House of Prime Rib has WAYY better prime rib than here).We ordered the following:1.) Appetizers - Crab Cake2.) Appetizer - Calamari3.) Entree - Lamb Shank4.) Entree - Prime Rib (market price)5.) Sides - Mac & Cheese6.) Sides - Garlic FriesThe only thing I would order again here from all of the above is the Crab Cake. Even though you only get 1 Crab Cake for for $18, their Old Bay Mayo sauce for it and the actual Crab Cake itself was delicious.The rest, again, just tasted normal. The flavors were all there for each dish but there was nothing special about them and felt like it could have blended in at any other restaurant which is not great. You won't be disappointed by the food itself but nothing really stood out.The restaurant also tacks on a 4% state surcharge on your bill to keep up with the high COL. If you aren't a big fan of these "extra" charges, just giving you a heads up about it now.[[ Conclusion ]]Although I would love to give it a 5 star review for a local Fremont restaurant, I really think you can find better food elsewhere. If you are here for the good vibes and great service, I think this is a great place to go.

My husband and I was driving around and found this gem of a place Cioppino , spin a yarn prawns and Angel hair pasta. The food was delicious, service was excellent and the ambiance was perfect. Kudos to the tall server who was so great. Will definitely be back .

Walked in not sure of what to expect on a Saturday night. All the reviews were good. Would we be underdressed? We saw ladies with dresses and men with shirt and ties. I'm guessing there was a special event happening. Aside from that there were people outside. When we left we saw a bride in her wedding dress. Looks like a place for regulars and loyal customers. We were greeted by what may have been the manager or owner and quickly seated in one of the big cream colored high back booths. From then on it was bam bam boom. Drinks, food and everything else you would imagine for a top notch dining experience. Perusing the reviews I saw pics of a server everyone had commented about named Keith. It was great when he walked up to our table. I wanted to say to him. Did you know you were like Yelp famous? There was not one moment when the flow of things was out of sync. Everything we ordered came out rather quickly. All our selections were good. Bread and butter ++A - they gladly brought more when we got our food. The best ice tea that never went without a refill.Caeser salad was perfect. They split it for us Rigatoni was average for sauce flavor.Scalloped potatoes were nice.Surf and turf was plentiful and cooked to order. They included steak sauce and butter for the prawns that looked like small lobster tails. Dessert was great as well. Tiramisu and cheesecake. Plus coffee. At this point we were so stuffed. Boxed up half of my dinner plate to take home. While dining was quiet and private, it hit a point when music and live singing began. We enjoyed the eclectic variety of eras from Elvis to Santana and lots of other iconic music. It was a pleasant atmosphere for dinner and needless to say Keith was excellent. Service from a pro. We need more of this in the restaurant industry. The attention to details and bar he sets is high. Will we return? Yes!

We had a "celebration of life" here for many people, and it was a lovely time. The team was accommodating, patient, and curious. The Swedish meatballs with horseradish sauce were better than mine. Thank you for making a day when there was so much rain outside that you brought the sunshine inside. The place was clean, warm, and relaxing. The cats outside were as big as mountain lions. Clearly, they are eating well, too. Chef CS1 Thank you
