    Here’s a review you could use: We celebrated a birthday at Spears, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience! The food was outstanding, with every dish perfectly prepared and bursting with flavor—everyone at the table raved about it. A special shoutout to our incredible server, Armie, who went above and beyond to make the evening truly unforgettable. Her warm and friendly demeanor, impeccable attention to detail, and top-notch service elevated our celebration to the next level. To top it all off, Armie surprised the birthday boy (my husband) and the rest of the table with a towering cotton candy treat that made the night even more special. Thank you, Spears, for such a memorable evening—we can’t wait to return!

    Our waitress was wonderful! But it seems that the kitchen has a hard time keeping up with the orders! The other personal problem is that I personally don’t like the seasoning that the restaurant uses.

    Food was great but realize the chili is really hot, couldn't finish it. I also would have liked the ahimsa tuna to be cooked a bit longer. Other than that meals were great for everyone else.

    Wings were extremely dry. Tasted like they were made 2-3 days ago. Spinach artichoke dip wasn’t very hot was more like warm. Our server was great. Very tentative, waters always filled. Food needs work
