I would give this restaurant a zero if it wasn't for the beautiful washrooms.... Our first encounter was with the rude, snob-toned hostess - who claimed we did not "confirm" our reservations, although we called and confirmed that very day. We had requested that champagne be on our table upon arrival and since we "didn't confirm" we would have to wait at the bar for 25min(?) so they could put out just 8 glasses and an ice bucket. Our food was so disappointing. I anticipated that the gorgeously descriptive menu would have at the very least a hint of the claimed ingredients - but no, the Soy-Ginger Salmon smelled so strongly of fish (which for the ignorant could be passed off as - that's just the way salmon smells) and the vegetable pakoras with coriander yoghurt dipping sauce was just plain BLAND. All together our table ordered 17 items, everyone ordered an appetizer and main+1 - and all 17 items were brought out at the exact same time. Just dumped into the middle of the table like a 'free-for-all'. After clearing the plates we were given the dessert menus but never asked if we actually wanted to order anything - instead our waiter abruptly brought us the bill and basically told us that we were out of luck for coffee and dessert because our table needed to be turned over.. After our initial reaction of 'you can't be seriously pushing us out of here?!' we were fobbed off onto the duty manager who looked concerned and seemed to be actively trying to find a new place for us to sit, unfortunately the solution was 'we could move you outside' - yeah right, it had been raining that evening and all of the patio furniture was wet! Needless to say we had no problem taking our patronage elsewhere to spend the rest of our Saturday night.
We had a 5:00pm reservation on a Friday. Our server was great, very attentive but still discreet enough that he wasn't a nuisance. We loved the atmosphere, the appearance of the servers, the attention to detail (definitely check out the bathrooms if you visit), and the service.
The Tempura Calamari & Rock Shrimp was wonderful; the touch of chilies gave it just enough bite but wasn’t overbearing. The crab cakes were meaty and had just the right amount of basil. We each ordered the same entrée, Wok Seared Teriyaki Sirloin (one medium well and one medium rare), both were cooked to perfection. The Raspberry Brownie that we had for dessert had a Tangerine Cream and Caramelized Mandarins, it as delicious but nothing extravagant.
All in all, we would definitely visit Spice Route again, we were a little weary of going because of some of the reviews that we had read, and perhaps the service is not as great if you are there later at night but at 5:00pm on a Friday the service was great and we enjoyed the experience.
Friendly staff, service was pretty quick and atmosphere is fresh and modern. But the main event (the food) absolutely ruined the experience. I could have found the exact same food at a local chinese place, costing half the price and tasting far better.
Perhaps we chose all the wrong dishes, but highly unlikely.
Not recommended for dinner. Perhaps as a lounge.

Don’t waste your time
I have never encountered a more rude, disrespectful and discourteous staff before in my entire life
My wife & I invite 2 of our friends for diner.
After we paid the bill and on top of that 15% for tip,
our server start complaining to our gust (not me) about tip and rudely insisting to get more money,
I paid her more but still she was arguing.
We were complain to the manager but he did not take any action.
They don't care about their reputation or quality of service, don’t waste your time, I will not return or recommend
