Great cozy tapas lounge. A very date-y type of place with several two tops and candlelit ambience with very faint lighting. Sat at the bar height tables close to the window to do some people watching and chat it up with the neighbors.
The prawns were grill just about perfectly and the spicy tomatoey sauce was a pleasant depart from the usual butter based sauces.
The mushrooms were meaty in a throaty thick broth.
On the second round got the veggie flatbread & chorizo, which go to together like peanut butter & jelly.
Prices were about on par with the area and passed tapas experiences. Eat more, pay more.
*M* was a great waitress and offered up some really wine suggestions. She was also previously in the porn industry, but behind the camera allegedly... really funny gal though. -

Sangria and tapas.
This shouldn't be to hard; fresh quality tapa ingredients and lots of wine should complete the picture for Spice Lounge but unfortunately the Sangria was lacking and the food was just ok. Good for the area. Nothing special in my books.
It's nice to go out to a lounge but the waitress was forgetful, they made us wait outside as they were at capacity yet enforced this rule sporadically and unfortunately Spice Lounge did not make an impression on me whatsoever. I could have saved my $150 and brought my own fruit to put in the sangria as Spice had none. -

A new late night lounge on Lakeshore Rd in Port Credit (MIssissauga). I was pleasantly surprised at how comfy this spot became once we settled in. At first a little small, mood lighting turned to setting "DARK!!!", and some funky acid-jazz playing on the radio, the bar seemed maybe too stereotypical and cheesy to enjoy... but that feeling proved wrong pretty quickly. The seating arrangement, while not a ton of it, is nevertheless roomy and comfy. Big plush leather chairs or high-tables and bar-stools for those who like to look down their glass of pinot grigio upon the rabble below. A few stools around the bar itself as well.
The service was crazy friendly and fast and helpful - in the way that ONLY a new establishment provides, so get it while it's good (let's hope it lasts awhile). They've got a handful of (mostly Irish) brews on tap, a full bar, and make their own renditions of "sangria"... if you're a sangria connoisseur, you'll probably find their light and funky variations off-putting, but if you're just looking for a bright and totally flavorful summer beverage, their sangria hits the mark. My party sampled both the red and white versions, and while it was clear the concoction is not made with fruit steeping at the bottom of the carafe, they still threw in some very fresh fruit into the glass for good measure. Tasty tasty tasty.
Their tequila selection was a little strange and somewhere between impressive and silly. Upon inquiry, I was told they had Jose Cuervo (the absolute worst trash you could pout the word "tequila" over), or their specialty import tequilas that cost upwards of 60, 80, and 100 bucks a shot depending on the grade (silver, repasado, añejo). Wanting something more in the middle, I stuck with the sangria. Also, the place advertises tapas, but I didn't see any menus or anyone else eating... nor did I inquire... so someone else will have to check on that.
Cozy, intimate, fair prices, very welcoming and fast service, this place will continue to be awesome until the Port Credit cougars take it over... (pop your head in across the street at the Harp to see what I'm talking about).
[The same owners run the equally new burger joint directly across the street, which is awesome and highly recommended! Make it a two-fer!]
