I went to spoke and Ivy for the first time during the savor fort wayne. The menu changes seasonaly and the savor menu is limited but everything ordered was AMAZING. We had Ester as our waiter and she was amazing! For starters I got the meatballs and the facotta for the table. The meatballs had a great spice and the flavors of all the sauces made them so good. For my meal I had the Chicken Milanese. It came with a ricotta and pesto. The pesto had a slightly sweet taste that was SOOOO good. We saw that one of the other main dishes pickled green tomatoes and asked to try them. OMG so good. Will definitely be back. This might be my new favorite FW restaurant. 10/10

First time at Spoke & Ivy for brunch. EVERYTHING was delicious! Of special note: potato latkes , garbage bowl and prime rib eggs benedict were 10/10; the cinnamon roll and lobster wonton were also good. Decor was attractive but as the dining room filled up, it became very loud and difficult to have a conversation at our table. In spite of that, the quality of food and service will bring us back in the near future.

I really wanted to love Spokes + Ivy for our anniversary, especially since the atmosphere is so beautiful and fancy. However, the food was a major disappointment for the price.
The Food: The steak bites were very chewy and overly salty, though the rice puff underneath was a nice touch. My burger was also bad—the meat was dry and the bread felt stale. The focaccia was probably the biggest letdown; it was dry, had way too much baking soda, and felt more like a savory cake than actual focaccia. The vodka pasta was just mediocre. The only highlights were the drinks, the fries, and the garlic aioli.
The Service: Our waitress was wonderful and very kind. She even made the focaccia complimentary when I mentioned I didn’t like it, but I didn’t have the heart to tell her that we disliked almost everything else on the table.
The Experience: The seating is extremely tight. Because the tables are so close, we felt very uncomfortable with the person at the next table staring at us whenever we spoke our native language.
I ended up wishing I had just cooked at home for our special night. Great vibes and lovely staff, but the kitchen needs more consistency.

This is the restaurant on the MAIN level, NOT the speak-easy in the basement. We were there at 5:30 on a week night.
We were seated in a very awkward corner table for two where the tables were really close together. Since it was our Valentine’s celebration, I would have been uncomfortable with the tables next to us having people at them because it didn’t give you any privacy or space for private conversation.
We did not get drinks or appetizers. Our meals were very good (salmon and chicken).
The server was good but didn’t refill my water and that’ a big deal to me.
Also, it’s supposed to be an upscale place and they were out of paper towels in the bathroom. I feel like that is just basic service they should check on regularly.

I had dinner there a few evenings ago for a birthday dinner with a party of 11. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very welcoming and friendly. The front of house staff was very kind when we entered. The restaurant was very busy that night, with our table not being ready due to business we were able to experience the black rabbit in the basement. The bartenders down there were very friendly and great to talk with. The cocktails were immaculate and I highly recommend every single one of them.
Dinner service was impeccable and every single dish was so tasty and flavorful. The star of the night for me would be the meatballs! I enjoyed the pork chop for dinner and it’s the best one I’ve ever ordered out to eat. Our server, Alanna, did an amazing job with our party’s she was patient and explained everything very well. Cocktails were flowing and waters were always full! She made the dinner experience great! Thank you Spoke + Ivy for an amazing evening!

We ate brunch at Spoke and Ivy on Sunday. The creative food and drinks were delicious and the service was excellent! However the noise level was extremely loud, due to the high ceiling and lack of acoustics to absorb the sound. On a Sunday, only the Bistro Brunch menu is available. Next time we make reservations, we will request a table in the smaller dining area behind the check in desk. We started with drinks of a refreshing East Side Baddie, an old fashioned, an expresso martini, and a vanilla raspberry latte. For appetizers, we ordered a fresh half Ivy salad, the interesting potato latke, and the stuffed mushrooms. Again, all were delicious! All were very good! For entrees, we ordered the steak & egg with potatoes & asparagus, and shrimp (3 jumbo) & grits. I would have liked three times as much grits in the dish, but the marinara sauce and fresh pesto were a creative touch! No bread basket is served with the meal, which would have been nice to scoop up the rest of the delicious marinara sauce in both the stuffed mushrooms and the shrimp & grits. For desserts, we ordered the tender beignets, the gigantic cinnamon roll, and the chai Terimisu. All 3 were excellent, and certainly big enough for two to share! There was a line at the restrooms because it is just 2 single-stall unisex restrooms. One recommendation I have would be to install pull-down blinds on the large windows facing the street because during midday the sun was shining right in our eyes with our chairs facing the windows. This restaurant is definitely one that I would return to for another delicious meal!

We stumbled upon this restaurant on a walk downtown Fort Wayne. Nice ambiance. Great delicious food!!! The food took a while to come out even though they were not that busy (middle of the day 2 pm ) and that is why I gave them 4 starts for service. We will be returning back with the kiddos!

Excellent restaurant. The menu items are very limited and their selection of bourbon, gins and other alcohols is slim compared to other upscale places. The food we had was excellent, but again very limited. Servers were knowledgeable and attentive and the atmosphere is wonderful and the restauarant tastefully decorated. I rated the food a 4 due to the small menu.

had an awesome experience.
the east coast baddie drink is phenomenal.
the charcuterie board was high quality (would note that it’s seemingly a two person portion)
the walleye was so yummmy, the curried rice was everything i needed. craving it again now.
& the tiramisu topped it all off perfectly.
~oh and a huge plus the service was lovely~

We came for dessert and coffee. The Dubai Chocolate Torte was very good and the Pecan Pie Carrot Cake was nice and moist. The Pistachio Latte was delicious as well. The dining room and fixtures looked really nice and clean and the service was prompt. We will definitely be back for dinner.
