The Spy Social Eatery and Bar — Restaurant in Town of Marbletown

The food at The Spy was phenomenal. Everything was truly delicious. Cocktails were lovely. We were a table of 5 and started out with appetizers to share. From their regular menu, we had the buffalo tofu wings, and the cauliflower crust pizza. These "free range" wings are crisp, light and flavorful. If you're not a tofu lover, these will make you a believer! The pizza was amazing, a crowd favorite. The creaminess of the mushroom sauce paired with red cabbage and peas was both decadent, yet delicate. From the specials, we tried the fried calamari and duck tots. The calamari was prepared with a Thai peanut sauce and sweet chili dipping sauce. Out of this world! I've never had calamari done this way and it was amazing. Fresh, lightly fried and cooked to perfection. The duck tots were another explosion of flavor and were the ultimate comfort food. Crispy tots smothered in pulled bbq duck, smoked Gouda and duck gravy! Oh my! For entrees, 3 of us had the short rib. The syrah, braised boneless rib was literally melting in your mouth tender! Paired with perfectly whipped potatoes and sauteed spinach, it was stellar. The other entrees did not disappoint! The regular menu pan seared duck breast over sweet potato hash with mixed berry shrub sauce and the special house duck confit with sweet potato hash and fig mostardo were all they were "quacked" up to be and more! We ended with dessert. The chocolate brownie sundae was everything you want in a sundae! A fudgy brownie with a crackly exterior, covered in rich ice cream with chocolate sauce and whipped cream to even out the sweetness. The special was an individual panettone coupled with a caramel sauce (I believe). It was gobbled up too fast to recall! It was a lovely evening. One of the owners, Brigitte, warmly chatted at our table for a few minutes and it brought the dining experience full circle. If you haven't been in awhile, or it's your first time, hurry over to The Spy! There is something for everyone including vegetarian and vegan choices. You won't be...

Oct. 16 2021. Pouring rain . It’s Saturday night our reservations were for 5 pm. First seating time. We arrived 10 mins early. (Owner ? ) Female greeted us with “We’re not open. “We’re not ready “ We apologized stating we wanted to get to restaurant before weather became worse. Most places offer to sit you at the bar. Not her. We asked to wait on covered porch area where we were standing. That was ok until we got ready to be seated & she had the nerve to tell us to put the chairs back where we found them!! We are only 4 adults. We’re seated & she comes to table & rips the specials paper out of our hand ( only one paper per table) saying “this is wrong not that Burrata. “ Our luck we wanted that exact one. She’s gruff & unapologetic . No way to treat your guests. There was enough wait staff so what’s her problem? Food is nothing spectacular. My short ribs were tasty the spinach was only 2 fork fulls. Mushroom appetizer was chock full of thick bread little mushrooms on top. Desert came & wait staff forgot share plates which we asked for. We used our coffee saucers wanted to get out of there. As we left the bar was packed. Customers on top of each other. No masks under chins or hanging from ear while drinking & talking. There’s a COVID Delta variant out there. Any one care? Never going back . Go to the Eggs Nest across the street if you want to eat out. Owners friendly food & portions much better . Customers wear masks coming in & practice social distancing. My...

One of the best meals my parents and I have had in a long while. I was hesitant based on the stars, but the ingredients in their dishes looked stellar, so we decided to make a reservation. We were so happy with the meal we made reservations for dinner again later this week. We had the bruschetta appetizer, which had hens of the woods, ricotta, andcarmelized onions, and it was superb. My parents had the duck confit and I had the mussels, and both were stellar (I was tempted to ask for a soup spoon, the mussels broth was so good). The staff are so lovely, and I could not recommend this restaurant more. If I ever hear people mention coming to this area, it will be my go-to...
