First time coming here on a Saturday, the place was packed, but I could still talk to my girlfriend with no problem. While the calamari was overcooked, the flavor was still good. The Sea Bass special entree was out of this world and cooked perfectly - such an amazing dish. The tres leches was an amazing way to end the evening and is sooooo good at Fusion 27.

Again, no disappointment. Couldn't get in for New Year's Eve. However, I was there Friday and had the most amazing dinner and drinks. Not to mention awesome customer service and ambience. I mentioned this before, their cuisine is the closest I can be to the Amalfi coast. Molto bene!!!

We dined at Spiga last week and decided to return this week with different companions. We were accommodated being seated at the exact table we requested. The atmosphere was very nice as usual. The wait staff was friendly but there were a few mistakes with our order. Overall, it was an enjoyable dining experience.
