I had a Ceasar's salad and then the meatloaf. The meatloaf was dry. It was perhaps over-cooked(?) The Ceasar's salad was good but uninspired. I had expected more from Spencer's.

Spencer's is a wonderful restaurant. It's beautiful, unique, the food and service are terrific. We've been dining here for nearly 20 years. We highly recommend Spencer's. We had the Asian Chicken Salad, the house cured smoked salmon on a bagel with capers, cream cheese, lemon and greens and the ahi tuna salad. Everything was delicious.

After a bit of challenge getting our party in and everyone finding there vaccine cards even though the rest of the county has moved on everything was perfect. Insanely good and well priced wine list even though we brought our own. Our waiter was the one who procured the list so he was incredible and knowledgeable. Good rock solid. Great service. Ended up very well

Probably the most reliable restaurant in Palm Springs. Friendly professional greeting on arrival - love that they are still checking for vaccination - great table - prompt professional service. The best Benedict’s in the valley. Valet had the car to us in seconds. No long walk to a hot car. Great atmosphere and people watching. What’s not to love?

Spencer’s has the best service, ambiance and food. It is one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. If you like seafood, you have to try the crisp fried oysters and ahi tuna tartare starters. The grilled salmon salad was fabulous as always. My friend had the lobster bisque and the Caesar salad, both spectacular. I can’t forget the beautiful wine list. For a refreshing glass of white on a warm day, try the Albariño. For an upscale Palm Springs experience, I always choose Spencer’s.

We love Spencer's. We had our wedding dinner there 10 years ago, our first-anniversary dinner, and our 10th anniversary there. I can't remember what other anniversary dinners we had there. It is a great place to eat especially outdoors. The staff is very respectful and pleasant to work with. Dave and Daisy Shader

Mother's Day at Spencer's was very enjoyable and the food was great tasting. Only three little hiccups happened: 1) My wife's eggs were poached soft instead of hard, 2) our daughter ordered Banana stuffed French Toast and received Eggs Benedict that was replaced with the proper meal in a short amount of time and 3) the kitchen was sending out plates with almost cold potatoes that were replaced. But, what can you expect for one of the busiest holidays. Our service was excellent.
