    Mother’s Day brunch did not disappoint. The four of us all enjoyed our meals from salmon steak egg Benedict. even though it was the hottest weekend of the year, the shade, the umbrellas and the huge fans kept it very comfortable. We had a great time.

    The restaurant was beautiful, the service was fine. The food was just ehh. The house special waffle was underwhelming - batter had no flavor and it was neither hot nor crunchy. The lobster omelet at $39 market price was very bland. The corned beef hash was a little too salty and the poached eggs overdone. The highlight was that my dad totally enjoyed the pan fried liver and bacon entree. Not sure if I’d come back.

    Some of the most indifferent service we’ve ever experienced here to the point of being rude.

    Always a welcome greeting by hostess. Spencer’s is known for excellent food, attentive service, a friendly atmosphere, great value and if inside or outside your table will be magical. A new resident but been a frequent diner at Spencer’s over the years. This day we were welcomed by the manager as we dined. Spencer’s has always created memorable experiences.

    Best dinner we have had in Palm Springs this week while visiting. Excellent food and service in a nice environment on a busy Friday night. Fabulous value if you have the fixed price 3 course dinner for $60. Unlikely some restaurants that give you smaller plates, this was full portions. Definitely recommend.
