                        The service was terribly unfocused, missing something at every turn.

                        As always, Spencer's is one of the best places to have a meal in the Valley. The outside patio is sublime. Food is well prepared, and the service is excellent. One cannot go wrong with going to Spencer's.

                        First time at Spencer’s and it will definitely not be our last. Seated at a wonderful outdoor table. Enjoyed an excellently prepared cocktail. Servers gave us time to enjoy without rushing. Food choices are many. The items we chose were excellent. Highly recommend this restaurant.

                        Loved breakfast at Spencer's! There were four in our party. Everyone was pleased w their order. Food, corned beef hash, BLT, and bacon and eggs, were all good. Service was excellent.

                        We sat on the patio which was lovely. We had the salmon special and the duck breast which were both delicious. Cocktail and wine were excellent. Staff was friendly and efficient.

                        The receptionist who seated us had zero personality, not even a smile. The gentleman who served us was excellent. In the past, they had misters or AC blowing on the patio. That was not the case, so it was really too hot to be seated there. The food was mediocre and way over-priced.
