    Our first time at Spencer's for an anniversary meal with another couple. I had requested through the app for wheelchair accommodation for one of our party. They easily obliged upon check in. The Valet's were wonderful in helping remove and replace the wheel chair out of and into the trunk of the car. Kudo's to the valet service for going above and beyond. We were presented with a certificate of congratulations on our anniversary at check in and received a complimentary vanilla ice cream for desert in celebration. The food was wonderful. The service was average. I had to top off the wine glasses a couple of times during the dinner, even thought I waited with empty glass. (Not a big deal as I am capable of filling my own glass, but is a nice show of attentiveness from the wait staff when it happens.) The timing from sitting to ordering drinks, to ordering dinner, receiving salads and soups followed by entrees, was a little long. We were seated about 6:16 PM and entrees served around 7:45 PM. All in all it was a good experience with good food and ambiance.

    As always Spencer’s did not disappoint. It is without doubt the top restaurant in Palm Springs. Always a warm welcome and friendly staff. The food was amazing. This was a Birthday celebration for my Sister-In-Law and we all had a blast.

    We always love breakfast at Spencer's. I often advise friends that Spencer's has some of the best eggs benedict around. True again with the crab cake benedict, as well as the regular breakfasts. Always an excellent atmosphere and great service. One item for improvement - in the mornings, those little metal cups of extra coffee get cold very quickly and go to waste - and I usually end up not drinking more than one cup unfortunately. I'd rather have a refill of nice hot coffee.

    Best shrimp cocktail I’ve ever had! Sea Bass was fantastic. And the Banana Split desert was to die for.

    Maybe they were short staffed today. I requested Michelle’s section but they said it was unavailable and our service was so slow. It took nearly 45 minutes to get a drink.
