It's always a pleasure to eat at Spencer's. The food, service & location is great. We've been eating there for the past 15 years. It's amazing to see some employees have spent over 20 years at the restaurant.

- Food was fab. Perfect all the way - Drinks were not good. They were made like a 20 year old at college would think cocktails are made. I sent one back and the second was just as unconsidered. Not sure if the bar tender is free pouring and ignoring the recipe, but it would be great if the quality of the beverages matched the food. Server saw my untouched drink and said nothing. Was a bummer. - The dessert was dreamy

Spencer's is on a gradual descent from its high quality seating, ambiance, and general appearance. Not as much care is given to patrons as times gone by. We were seated at a table next to the exit/entrance to the kitchen/server traffic which was a distraction. The predinner rolls were fine but just never replenished or asked.

Maggie, our waitress was fun but also efficient . She made the birthday boys’ evening a delight along with the hot and delicious entrees on the pri fix menu. The extra dessert as well as the written declaration of the special day were very nice gestures. Can’t find anything not up to 5 stars

We were seated at a table on the main aisle underneath a tree, that was dropping pieces from the blooms all over the table and into our food and drinks. If you are going to have tables under a shedding tree, you should put something, like sails up to prevent the stuff from falling on people and their dinner table.

Food and service was excellent. The one minimal drawback is sitting outside leaves you exposed to frequent droppings from the trees. Once you overlook that, great ambience.

Spencer's is a unique restaurant in the Desert, it is full of old charm, delicious food and the wait staff is extremely professional and attentive. I think it signifies the old Palm Springs with a modern touch. A must do when you visit or live in Palm Springs.

Initially when I arrived the noise level was intolerable. This is because of a table of loud intoxicated women celebrating a birthday party. The women were seated in the main dining room. Once they left, my time at Spencer's was enjoyable.
