Spice House Midtown

I recall come to Spice House on the weeknights and sit at the bar. The food is always really good and the prices are typical for Elevate's Caribbean food. Sometimes on the weekends, they have events so check on their instagram to see if there is something going on because it may be hard to find seating if they are having an event.

Not the experience I expected. Came on a night to see Quinn & the Jukebox. Grown and Sex yet the experience was for young adults. Served out of plastic cups and pre-school silverware. However, the prices were grown up. The pricing was ridiculous for the portions. I want the best for this restaurant but they are way off base for the clientele they're trying to attract. I don't plan to spend $200 to drink out of plastic cups and served cold food. 1 bartender on a Saturday night is just poor management. Sorry. I won't be coming back!!!

Celebrated my birthday and everything was amazing! My party and I enjoyed the atmosphere, food, DJ and oh how can I forget to mention the rum punch!!! Boy oh boy! It was our first visit and everyone wants to come back. Ms. Sharon, the manager is such a sweetheart!

First of all, the DJ( DJ Sings) was AWESOME on Thursday night. Played some great rnb vibes. The drinks were good and the hookah outside was good as well. Coming from Douglasville I will 100% come back.

While in town visiting Atlanta on a girls trip, my friends and I were referred to several eateries but Spice House won based off the menu. We were greeted immediately upon entry and advised that they don't serve alcohol at that particular location, which was okay for us. The menu was online and we eat selected something different. My meal was the snapper with black rice and pik aliz(not sure of the spelling). When I tell you that meal was BOMB!!! It had the right seasoning, crunch to the snapper as well as being moist on the inside. I also tried the appetizer of fried green tomatoes which was also delicious.

My sister celebrated her birthday here last week and we had a Great time, but there were some major hiccups from the restaurant that made our time here tarnished. This is why I rated 3 stars and I'll explain below. I hurried to the restaurant 30 minutes late and was surprised when the birthday girl and the group of 22 people were waiting outside, and crammed by the check-in counter at the front of the restaurant. It seems the restaurant forgot the reservation made weeks prior. Not only was the group inconvenienced, but they had to remove (2) smaller parties to make room...Who dropped the ball here?We were seated and the waiter was AMAZING! Really nice, professional guy and I can tell he has been a waiter for sometime as he had a unique system giving us a # for our orders due to the large size of the group. We began ordering drinks and appetizers and asked for the Hookah Girl...This may not be a total reflection of the restaurant but the Hookah girl is a joke! She never arrived after we asked for her 3xs' and then when she finally did arrive we were packing up to leave! Secondly, we flagged down another employee who I believe worked for Spice House and he said we couldn't order Hookah because they want to transition the area soon and Hookah may make us stay in the area too long....Remember, the restaurant seated us on a reservation 45 minutes late! We carried on and danced as the DJ was great, playing Maxie Priest, Beres Hammond...All the classics! When the appetizers arrived I was impressed on how they were plated. Only major hiccup was my sisters salad. There was a bug on the lettuce leaf. I don't believe they brought a new salad either. I think they just took the leaf off and gave her the same plate back... I'm not sure what happened in the kitchen but some of the salads were washed and others weren't. You can see the brown dirt on the leaves especially the pieces chopped by the lettuce core. This may be bagged salad, but please...Wash the salad! Some of my favorites were the Spring Rolls-Cut diagonal, and the Crab Cake. I was expecting 1 for $22 but to my surprise you get 2. They taste pretty good as well...Not Noble Fin or Del Frisco but passable...Not too much bread. When the main courses arrived everybody seemed to enjoy them! Mine was marginal...I ordered the salmon and asked it not too be over cooked and they literally burned the damn thing! The girl a few seats down had such a large piece that looked so succulent. Mine was cooked so dry it favored a piece of Tilapia or something like that. The mash was good and the asparagus was crispy and well seasoned. As we ate our main courses, this is when the pressure came from the restaurant to rush us out for their mistake.... They immediately began asking for dessert preferences where you can pick a chocolate cake or cheesecake with strawberry, mango, and I think peach topping.... I truly felt insulted when they brought the cheesecakes in To Go boxes ready to go after bringing everything else on china. When it was time to pay the bill it was a Fu**ing disaster! Apparently there is a menu which we ordered from that is $65 for a starter, main and dessert. Gratuity is 30% (Quite High) and included. To make a long story short, my sisters card was charged $1,700 yet we were also given separate receipts. Mine had all my items on it, and others just had drinks and appetizers while others solely had drinks.... There was no consistency and the waiters did appear to crack when they presented them to us as it would be a jigsaw puzzle to clean it up! Basically we were confused as hell! We paid the damn bill but the restaurant got over for sure. If the $1700 was the charge for the $65 menu, why did some of us have receipts for the menu itemized out? We still don't know how they did the breakdown but we paid it and left...The night was fun, but it could have been Amazing! I WOULD NOT suggest the restaurant however to anybody planning a birthday or any large event. They will forget the reservation and place pressure on you to eat and leave so they can continue with Sunday Funday. The bill will also be a mess! I will return but for Sunday Funday only as that seems to be the expertise here.

0 STARS! Terrible, to the price gouging business owners in Atlanta you should be ashamed. I was ripped off at spice house midtown. Paid 10$ to park 30$ for a fake concert, 150$ for overdone lamb chops and overpriced pasta with a20$ piece of unseasoned salmon. Holes in the seats, family dollar utensils and have the nerve to tax 20% gratuity. Stay away this place, other businesses don't charge you for your patronage. NEVER GOING BACK THERE OR TO ANY OF THESE MONEY HUNGRY SCAMMERS!!!

The food is beyond good , it's delicious and yummy like no other !!!!! The atmosphere is professional and relaxing. The staff and General manager very friendly. They take customers service seriously. The bartender Serata is a true bartender. Make sure you bring friends San Diego Love

The food is good, service not so much! On a whim we decided to go for dinner. Upon arrival we were told that there was a $10 cover charge because they were having a live band. It's not about the money, but we came to eat, not listen to the band. When we decided that we would leave and go somewhere else, we were offered a seat on the patio. Worse Decision! You're forgotten about on the patio. The table was dirty, had to ask for it to be wiped down, Food, drinks, and hookah took forever. It took so long for the bill, we left the table and walked inside to see what the problem was. They say they were having a system issue. Communication would have been nice before we had to come inside. Atlanta has the worse customer service and it's evident that because the automatic gratuity is placed on your bill, they don't care!

Food was pretty good, service was horrible. If they have a live band, don't let them seat you in the back outside. Our waitress was horrible, she never check on us, and left us outside for over 30 mins without saying a word. When we finally just walk to the front to see what taken so long for our bill. She said "my bad the system was down. "No accountability, and still expected 18% Gratuity for horrible services... lol
