It was a great experience. All spice is a very intimate restaurant within a home. Parking was easy to find since they have their own private loft. Food was delicious, mainly American with Indian influences. Wine - very small selection, and not that great in my opinion. Both our wines were not great. I recommend brining your own bottle and paying the $15 corkage fee.Coffee - got the French pressed decaf, enjoyed it with dessert.Both my partner and I did 3 courses for $85 pp. we chose to do one dish from each category.Appetizers:Smoke black Cod - 4/5 it was more like a potato salad with cod in it. I just felt like it was too heavily dressed. There was a ton of texture though, so it felt light. Persimmon / asparagus salad (seasonal) - 5/5 loved the flavors for this one. Very good starter.Entree: (both of these entrees were an extra $8 supplemental charge) both 5/5NY strip steak - cooked very well to a medium rare as I requested. The pepito sauce was great and the salad paired well with the dish Lamb loin - I don't even like lamb, but this was well cooked! It paired well with the charred broccolini and sauces.Dessert:impossible layer cake - 4/5. Loved the flavor profile but the texture for the cake itself was off. It tasted slimy.

The service was great. The place was hard to find. It's nestled between two commercial buildings. Just a random cottage. There is some Parking. The whole set up is very quaint. This more fusion. The food is overall very good. Portion sizes are small but filling. You can have a three course or four course or five course meal. You'll pick from the appetizer and then entree and dessert. I had two entrees and could not finish the second. I got the new York steak and the gnocchi. I didn't get dessert so can't comment. Overall super cute place and decent food.

This is a very special place for very specialevenings. Tucked away in a somewhat peculiar wood-frame house off El Camino, All Spice is nevertheless one of the few truly "fine dining" venues on the Peninsula. New California cuisine with a delightfully successful Indian twist. Napa/Sonoma levels of creativity, local freshness, and sophistication. Intimate yet whimsicalambiance, attentive yet unobtrusive service. Three, four, or five course options. Consider this for a special evening that will be no doubt memorable. With Vognier and 231 Ellsworth gone, and Stella Alpina now a big boisterous bar scene, there are very few places like this on the area, where you can experience this level of artistry in genteel surroundings.

Went here again for our anniversary any entire l enjoyed the experience as much if not more! Very interesting concept that blends a bit of Indian and Middle eastern with western fare, with a lot of success. Beautiful creations, its clear that the chef almost treats this as art! Great selection of wines, though we brought our own. In addition to the menu, I also loved their amuse bouche and bread!

A cozy fine dining restaurant with Indian notes.The courses were delicious. The Crudo was fresh and I like the pineapple accents. The ribeye was also cooked perfectly medium rare. The Lemon posset was also a refreshing way to end the meal. We were also served a complimentary amuse bouche to start the meal, along with bread and shallot butter.You have the flexibility of selecting which dish you want for each course, along with the number of courses you want for your meal. You can also select two appetizers instead of one appetizer + one dessert which I thought was nice.In terms of service, it didn't really stand out to me. It took a while for the main course to arrive after the appetizer, granted our group was on the larger size.The interior is unique and cozy while being somewhat casual.

Celebrated my friend's birthday at All Spice. It was both of our first times at the restaurant, and we agreed that we had an overall great experience. All Spice was a cute house in the middle of a residential area that was converted into a restaurant. The place had ample parking on the neighboring streets where I parked, but I did note that it had its own surrounding parking lot when I walked closer to it. The interior was nicely decorated. It felt homey and welcoming. While the experience was certainly more of fine dining, we got the smart casual type of vibe. I made reservations for 5:30pm on a Wednesday. We were the only guests for some time and then a second party came later. We were localized in one main room, but there were multiple rooms in the house to seat more guests. Service was excellent. Food came out in a timely manner, and our server was on it! He was highly attentive and very nice. You can choose a 3-, 4-, or 5- course meal, and you don't have to match the others in your party. We both decided to get the 4-course meal as there were many things off the menu we wanted to try. I got 2 apps, 1 entree, and a dessert for my 4 courses. The food was beautifully presented, and they were flavorful. Complimentary cauliflower soup - This was a cold soup that came out in a small shot glass size of a serving. Great way to whet our appetites. Had some type of distinct spice flavor that I liked, such as cumin.House sourdough bread - Soft crumb with sliced olives. There was also house made butter. Black cod appetizer - This was a cold dish. Liked this one a lot because of the smokiness of the cod. Scallops appetizer - My favorite dish of the night. I ordered 2 scallops (2nd scallop cost extra). The scallops were large, plump, and juicy, which sat on these crispy crusts. Different flavors of sauces on the dish but overall I thought this also had an Indian inspired flavor. New York Strip Steak entree - I tried my friend's venison dish, but I liked mine way better. The steak was tender. Custard cake - Loved the caramel sauce, and the poached pear was the star of this dish moreso than the cake.

There is a homestyle restaurant with a perfectly home vibe you feel like you're sitting in a house on a dinner table with your family. We were able to customize the menu and menu for our team because it was a team event that I arranged and they were able to work with us to make it, the food is a fusion of Asian cuisine and I can tell you that they have done a great job in putting together the right kind of stuff in there. The staff was really friendly and made sure that we were taken care of and helped us pick the best things, they were often checking on us to make sure we are comfortable. There's plenty of parking inside so don't worry about that and this is a great place for a family tour with friends, etc.. Have fun.

Six of us dined at All Spice this week. The food is eclectic, delicious and very well-prepared. The small room in which we were seated help keep the noise to a minimum, which made it a very pleasant experience for our group. I particularly enjoyed my salmon and my partner enjoyed his lamb. The prices are high but that's what you have to expect for a high quality dinner.
