I was not happy with the service this visit. We were not offered coffee or tea at the end of the meal. Two of our guests who did not buy fixed price meals were not offered dessert at the end of the meal. We then got a dessert after every one else has finished their dessert. Not your best by any means.

Good summer menu with a 3 course specials. Great service from our server Delfina. Good meatloaf and the duck breast was so-so. The server let me know the chef's recommendation was medium rare which suited me find. It came out on a mountain of mashed potates cooked through, not really even any pink. Good and generous cocktails.

Service was a bit pressured, we could tell things were busy. The calamari was great! My Greek salad may have been authentic, but the total lack of lettuce should be mentioned on the menu. Bagel lox plate was very generous with the lox; but when I had a taste, the lox did not appeal to me. The Reuben sandwich also, very generous and my friend loved it! Mushroom risotto was good. We arrived too early for our indoor rez, out fault! Overall experience in the "outdoor area" was not very "climate controlled." Probably wouldn't suggest returning at a busy time, during summer, to sit outside. Nevertheless, Spencer's is a classic to which we will always return, but now a bit more carefully.

When we arrived the front desk staff was not welcoming at all. It was my husband’s birthday and they did not greet him with a Happy Birthday as they did everyone else there for a Birthday. The waiter was so-so not bad not good. The food however was really good and for the cost it was worth every penny. I highly suggest the caviar and the lobster/filet. We will return for the food.

celebrating our 45th anniversary and decided to try Spencer’s as it was within walking distance from our condo. The food was excellently prepared with more than adequate portions. The service throughout was exceptional. There was a larger group behind that was having a good time but it made our conversations more difficult. Great setting and ambiance.

As always, one of our favorite places for lunch in the valley. Unfortunately, our waiter failed to allow us time to enjoy even half of our first course, gazpacho, before the main course arrived. To make matters worse, the food runner stood there with plates in hand waiting for us to rearrange the many plates, glasses, and service ware on the table so he had room to set down the plates in his hand.

This dinner was my dad’s 90th birthday. I had called to confirm the special occasion but it wasn’t in their notes so they weren’t aware of it. Worked out anyway but a little disappointing that his bday card wasn’t already on the table. Overall everything was great.

The wait staff was fantastic, the service was great! The food mediocre! We probably just ordered the wrong things. Our bill was over $265. We enjoy coming here for special occasions but will have to order something different. Second time we’ve been disappointed in our dinner experience. The Brunch is always wonderful so maybe we’ll stick to Spencer’s for Brunch!

Came here for our 20th anniversary and the service and food were amazing. We had the wedge salad to start along with their lovely warm rolls. We then had two medium filets with asparagus and au gratin potatoes - all dishes were perfect. Desert was the warm chocolate cake, which was also great. We brought our pup and sat outside under the tree and it was truly magical. Can’t go wrong here

Went for Brunch, I cannot believe for this price point they would only give you one glass of champagne on pre fix menu. Food overall was good, service was just okay. Server never even said good bye and someone else brought the check. Always just okay, and again for this price point they should be more on point.

Lovely service, beautiful outdoors seating. I am Vegan, so I am only reviewing that part of the menu, They have a few options which is great, but unremarkable. My friend is non Vegan and loved her meal. I’d go back there for drinks for sure.OH! And the best is that they are dog friendly!
