   I was really looking forward to dining here after hearing good things and making the effort to drive over an hour to enjoy a waterfront meal. Unfortunately, the experience was a big let down. I ordered a well-done steak and clearly asked for no pink inside. What I received was very pink, with an unpleasant amount of fat, gristle, and even a grey muscle running through the meat. For a premium-priced steak, the quality was disappointing. I sent it back, and by the time the new order arrived, I had waited another 40 minutes. On the bright side, the fries and salad were actually very good. But the drinks were filled with so much ice that I barely got more than a few sips out of them. Overall, it felt like a waste of money and time. I rarely write reviews, but I left feeling frustrated and disappointed. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously.

   We visited Spencer’s for an early Mother’s Day celebration. The food was amazing, all 6 of us were very impressed with what we got. The bottomless mimosas were worth every penny, and our server Steve kept them flowing. The service was amazing, it was very busy at the restaurant but the service did not suffer for that. Overall we were very happy with our experience and will be back!

   Food, service and ambiance was great. Noise level was very loud. Could barely hear my spouse.

   In all fairness, I'm a season traveler with relations to multiple eateries. We arrived for the specials at 5 pm. To our dismay, only 2 items out of 5 on the short list was available. Then we ordered apps off the main menu. Maple syrup fav missing on Brussels, Crab cakes were soggy, and the tempora shrimp was over cooked. I had to requested sauces and seasoning on the side as favor was deeply lacking in each bite. This is not the spot for those with a palette for taste, but each plate was well presented visually. The demographic along the waterfront is changing and the menu needs to reflect a new elevated zest in cuisine. I recommend Spencer's as great waterfront social spot for its selection of local wines, relaxing cocktails and french fries.

   Kris was a really nice server. The Cornish head is really delicious as well as the Bronzino fish. The oysters were extremely fresh. This is a great location if you want to pretend your on a Caribbean island with a great view of the water.

    Waited 15 mins to be seated for a reservation already made and the seating given a bad location near entrance. Noticed others reservations were taken before us.
