I have been to The Spot twice, once for dinner  and once for lunch both on a Saturday. The restaurant was packed the first time and empty the second, but it was 3 pm..\n\nWhat was once Mildred's is now is very beautiful space. The tables are made from wood and are very attractive. It is a challenging space but they really made it work.The photos on the wall are fun to look at and the tiny bar area very inviting Each time I sat at a table by a  window, which was lovely.\n\nFor dinner on a Saturday night I ordered the special, \""short ribs\"". They were absolutely delicious. My partner had the Portobella stew He liked it, but appeared underwhelmed\n\nFor lunch I had the cioppino ($14), some shrimp, scallops and a little bit of fish in a very light broth. The sauce needed some richness. There was no depth of flavor. The shrimp and scallops were prepared perfectly. They were cooked through yet tender and full of flavor. It was a shame the broth was so dull. The stew came with a small piece of bread that was sliced into 4 pieces. The bread was cold and tasteless. What a a shame... Batch is so close by. No excuse for that.\n\nMy friend had the portobella stew ($9). She too was not very satisfied. She felt she could have easily made the dish at home. It had no \""yum\"" factor.\n\nWhen we returned to the car we both admitted we were still hungry. I am sure Mildred's spirit hangs in the air. I hope she can guide the new owners to kick up the flavors, increase the portions, and serve the best bread they can find. I want \""The Spot\"" to succeed. They created a great space and now they need the food to match.\n.
