    The setting is beautiful. We love the breakfast and brunch food so we tried dinner last night. It was all very mediocre. The onion soup was like dishwater (thin and tasteless) while the entrees were badly over cooked. All in all it was very disappointing and we won’t go back for dinner.

    Dining experience at Spencer's was nearly perfection. Dining staff were all very attentive, even though the restaurant seemed understaffed.

    The server was not very attentive or friendly. My white fish was not crispy as described and didn’t taste nice. I didn’t complain. I expect more from Spencer’s.
