Was there last week for lunch and had the 5 course tasting menu. I highly recommend going the tasting menu route as I have found that this is where Spago shines.
The amuses were delicious especially their tuna tartare in a sesame cone.
Favorite savory dish was toro and yellowtail sashimi.
Fave sweet/dessert was gingersnap gelato.

If you go to Spago the tasting menu is the only way to go, IMO. If you order a la carte most dishes we tried are overpriced for what you get.

the sweet corn agnolotti was one of the best things I ate last year.
