I met a friend at Spoonriver on a Thursday for a light early dinner before a show. I arrived alone and found an empty dining room and 1 person at the bar (this was only 5:30). When I asked for a table for two the waitress sneeringly asked if I had a reservation, I responded no and asked if it would be possible to take a table on the (empty but for one couple) patio. She obliged with an eye roll. My waitress was extremely pleasant and recommended a great drink; unfortunately right after that the clouds rolled in and the wind picked up. I hesitantly and apologetically asked the waitress if I could move to a table inside - she laughed and said it was no problem. As we reentered the dining room the waitress asked the hostess which table I should be seated at. After the hostess glared at me for a few seconds she showed me to the worst table in the place - jammed between a pillar and the second worst table in the place.
Pros: Nice waitress, decent food
Cons: Very rude hostess, overpriced, limited vegetarian options
