Spice Market

Last night, I enjoyed dinner at Spice Market with Sabrina, Megan, and Meghann as well as Sabrina’s husband and cousin, Meghann’s mom, and my college friend, Matt. We had quite the crew!

Spice Market is inspired by the street food Jean-Georges Vongerichten enjoyed while traveling in Asia. Authentically uplifted versions of flavorful street foods are served family-style, with dishes arriving continuously throughout the meal for all to share.

The decor inside the Spice Market was beautiful with its high ceilings, draping curtains, and ornate furnishings.

In the middle of the restaurant is a huge temple-like structure that dominates the room.

The place was very hip.

We started with “chips and salsa.” I’m not sure what was in the “salsa,” but it was delicious– full of flavor with a seriously spicy kick.

Spice Market serves all of their dishes family-style, so we ordered a bunch of dishes for the table to share.

Spiced Chicken Samosas with Cilantro Yogurt

Mussels Steamed with Lemongrass Thai Basil, Dried Chili and Coconut Juice

Striped Bass Wok Fried Napa Cabbage Waterchestnut and Cucumber

I LOVED the Stripped Bass. It was easily my favorite dish of the evening.

Shrimp Dumplings, Shiitake and Dill Fragrant Lemongrass Broth

I loved this dish, too! After eating the noodles, I added rice to soak up the broth. Mmm!

Matthew and me!

Vegetables in Green Curry

Coconut Sticky Rice Steamed in Banana Leaf

Onion and Chili Crusted Short Ribs Egg Noodles and Pea Shoots

Mid-way through the meal, I decided to order a glass of Chardonnay. I probably didn’t need it, but I wanted to enjoy my last few hours of “vacation.” It was a great glass of wine.

Everything at the Spice Market was so delicious. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was laid-back and relaxed. I’m a big fan! I’d definitely go back!
