good stuff 8/17/2010

I would definitely go here again. if you sit outside you can have a romantic dinner watching the waves across the street. The food was great the first time I went but not as good the second time around. Its a little on the pricey side. Its worth checking out at least once more

you are paying for the view not the dinner 3/6/2009

came here for restaurant week and ordered the steak medallions and sea bass. we were seated on the patio with a great view of hte ocean. the steak i ordered was bland, no taste at all except for a bit of pepper. and the sauce was pointless, that too was bland. our side entree was corn that tasted like it was marinated in tea. it was inedible. i can uderstand that they would be tired or serving plates from the pre fixed menu but thats no excuse to skimp on quality and taste. our server was a woman with short red hair and she served us and didnt come back until we asked another server for her. the seabass tasted decent. the creme brulee was delish (when is it not). needless to say, id spend my $$ elsewhere. Pros: view. Cons: food. atmosphere. not very quiet or romantic more

Worse Prime Rib we have ever had. 10/7/2008

Three of us had ordered the prime rib. It came fried and old (yes, it was fried!) It was the worse prime rib we have ever had. Now we know why the waiter laughed when we asked if they had prime rib. It was a joke. The key lime pie cheesecake was delicious. I also requested four days in advance a bottle of Moet champagne to be at the table chilled. When I arrived, they informed me they didn't have it. We could have drank the other bottle I had at home or brought it in. This was a terrible birthday dinner. We will not be back to this Huntington Beach restaurant. Pros: key lime cheesecake Cons: prime rib more

My go-to restaurant! 4/15/2008

My husband and I have been going to Spark for years, it was probably one of the first restaurants we went to when we started dating. Now, it's our favorite go-to restaurant whenever we have friends or family in town. It never fails! Pros: Excellent food and service, they also have take-out Cons: I'd go broke if I ate there everyday! more

Great View and delicious comfort food! 10/30/2006

Spark is definitely a great place to go to watch the sunset and enjoy a great dinner. I love the grilled artichoke for an appetizer, the roasted chicken with goat cheese over polenta, or the lamb with mint if they have it. They have a great little bar where you can sit and wait for your table, or you can eat right there. They have an amazing martini list! I recommend the Chocolate martini for an after dinner drink! Enjoy! more

Delicious Ribs! 9/5/2006

I enjoy their smoked chicken lasagna (huge portion - prepare to share or take home 1/2) and their baby back ribs are very delicious. Fall off the bone type of slow cooked, if you're into that sort of rib then you'll enjoy it. They have a nice wine list with many affordable choices too. Pros: Food Cons: Parking more

Good drinks but that's it 7/25/2006

We went there for a birthday dinner for my husband because he was looking for a good steak and unfortunately we were disappointed. The decor is nice but it was crowded so it was pretty loud, we were seated in one of the tables right when you walk in the door which is a high traffic area so I got bumped at least three times throughout the night, I think they tried to fit to many tables in the their dining area. Then on to the food it was OKAY which is disappointing when you are expecting good. The food was bland there was no real flavor in anything and we ordered chicken and steak and neither one would make us come back again. I must say though the drinks were very good and the staff is very friendly so it would be a good place to stop and have drinks out on their patio. more

Yum! 4/12/2006

So good. We found this place on accident. We went to Duke's across the way, but it was late and they were only serving a bar menu. So, we went across the street to Spark, and it has been our favorite spot ever since. Whatever you order make sure to have it with the garlic mashed potatoes or the hazelnut green beans. The green beans are the best! The tri-tips, halibut, and lamb chops are all good. Don't reccommend going here on a weekend night because it gets way too busy, and portions seem smaller. Go on a weekday for sure if you can; the place it nearly empty. If you do go on a weekend, make sure to make a reservation. And be there on time, because they will give away your table. Overall, it is a little expensive, but I think it is so worth it. Pros: Hazelnut Green Beans, Weekday Dining, Good View of Beach Cons: Weekend Dining/Crowds more

good steaks, not blown away though 11/30/2005

I wanted a romantic date with my lady so she found this restaurant on the internet and I decided to give it a try. I ordered the 10oz filet and my girlfriend ordered the babyback ribs. The restaurant advertises ""prime"" steaks, but after asking our waiter i discovered my filet was ""choice"" so don't be fooled into thinking you're getting prime. The ribs were very tasty and tender, with a nice bbq sauce to compliment the pork. My filet didn't come with any sauce, which I thought was odd, seeing that it's a fairly bland cut by steak standards. They did give me a reduction sauce after I asked, but it was very salty and seemed to overpower the steak flavor. Despite my complains (i'm particular, you could say), i enjoyed my dining experience at woodfire. THe waiter was friendly and helpful, and the ambiance was perfect for couples. Pros: tender ribs, tasty sides, romantic setting Cons: fair value, limited menu more

Ribs and steaks are great 4/15/2005

I visited the Hyatt for a conference and we went to Spark on two consecutive nights. I found the meats and the ribs to be fantastic. The tri tip is not an item I would order but the food is quite good. The bar was also hopping. It really is the best restaurant in the area. Dukes and Chimayo are just OK in my opinion. Pros: Ribs, Steaks-Rib chop, martinis Cons: Bar was a bit packed more
