We live in the area and were going out for Thanksgiving Dinner . The restaurant is beautiful from the outside and there’s a lot of good word of mouth regarding the food . We were greeted and seated as soon as we came in the door and our order was taken reasonably fast . We had wine with our price fixed dinners which included appetizers, entrees , and desserts. Everything was hot delicious and beautifully plated . When it came to dessert we weren’t offered coffee first and we would have also ordered espresso martinis but the waiter plopped the desert down and never came back .We even asked someone to get our waiter so we could place a drink order but they never came back . I think they definitely dropped the ball at the end but our tip was generous and we were polite but I think we may give this place another try one day just on the basis of the food itself . After the first two courses we were ghosts , so we’ll see . Happy Thanksgiving Everyone

Another lovely experience at 2 Spring! Always lovely food and service and they always go above and beyond accomodating my elderly mother. The delicata squash, bone marrow, kale salad, and papardelle were all outstanding as was the Thanksgiving turkey plate.

Our waitress Dani was amazing. It was my mom's birthday and when Dani saw her opening a birthday gift, she brought out dessert and a candle without us even having to ask.
