Best Restaurants for Local Ingredients in Spencer

Great Italian - like we were back on the Amalfi coast - with very attentive service and authentic recipes and presentation! Competes with the best in town! We will definitely continue to enjoy this latest Jim Noble spot!

If there was a .5 option I would’ve given 4.5 stars for food and value. The bread lacked flavor unfortunately—it could’ve used a better garlic butter glaze on top (tasted like the salt was missing from the dough). Alternatively a salted butter for the table could’ve been offered. Other than that, the food was amazing and the waitress had excellent recommendations. The butcher’s cut was amazing, creamed corn crème brûlée is a must. I’d go there again for any occasion.

It was my friends birthday and the entire team at O-Ku made her feel extra special. The host, the busers, wait staff, etc everyone said happy birthday…it was even on the menu. And they brought a birthday dish that was delicious, South End Shrimp, order it!!! Also they were out of her favorite roll (potato roll) bc they have to roll it before shift it is so intricate, we were bummed but moved on everything was so good. Towards the end of the meal they brought out a potato roll they rolled especially for us! Amazing! I rarely give words reviews but Mayling and team were awesome. Thank you!!

Food was great. Nice hidden spot if you can’t get reservations elsewhere. Service was great as well.
