   Filet Mignon was flavorful, super tender, and cut like butter. The demi glace was a great accompaniment. I really enjoyed the shrimp cocktail. The added citrus really kicked it up a notch. The french onion soup was very good and filling. The french dip was above par. I will be using short rib meat when I make them at home, now. The au jus was pretty good, albeit a little thick for a jus. It did have a bright flavor profile. It didn't soak into the bread well. The only real weak point was the added scallops. A weak sear and no discernible seasoning, not even a little salt or pepper. Maybe I was expected to dip them in the jus? The margaritas were a delight. Just the right amount of tequila and I really enjoyed whatever spice was added to the salt on the rim. My wife enjoyed her pomegranate drink, as well. The service was terrific. The atmosphere was great. Nobody's conversation overtook the table next to them. I'd like to give a shout out to Jesus and Marcus for taking care of us!

   We were celebrating my daughters birthday and her and her husbands last week in Salt Lake City for a residency. Everything we ordered was AMAZING from cocktails, apps , meals and sides. Staff was so courteous and were available as needed but let us enjoy a leisurely delicious meal.

   What a great surprise! I tried to get a reservation at Ruth’s Chris, but they were booked till late, so I settled for Spencer’s for my wife’s birthday. What a great reminder that there are many great restaurants downtown! Our server was Eric. He was amazing! He talked to us like a real person, explaining nuances of the menu, making great suggestions, and really set the tone for the entire night. The stag was so friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was very settling and grounding. I really enjoyed the dark wood and lighting, My wife and I each had Wagyu steaks- she had the filet, I had the prime rib. Each was fantastic. The charcuterie board was ample, and big enough for 4-6 people. The sides were ample, and we only ordered half sizes. And they were all fantastic. The Brussels sprouts were my personal favorites! Do yourself a favor and add Spencer’s to your list!

   Spencer's For Steaks and ChopsResponded on January 19, 2023What a great review, thank you for that. We take pride of our service and food. Our servers are well experienced. Our chefs work hard to prepare every single dish carefully, so it is a great experience for you, as well as for us.

   Your servers were Amazing. But the food was terrible for the price! Ordered a medium rare steak and it came out medium and chewy, so we sent it back and it returned as a rare steak where the fat wasn't even warm. The sides were subpar and way over priced! I can get a steak at texas roadhouse for half the price sides included that is twice the size and tastes way better! I will never go back!

   Spencer's For Steaks and ChopsResponded on January 19, 2023Thank you for your honest review. We are sorry that your steak & sides were not up to your expectation. We already addressed the issue to our chef. We are glad that your service experience was amazing.

    Waiter was awesome, but can’t remember his name to give him credit. Food was less than stellar. Just go to Ruth’s Chris right next door. Had to send our steak back since medium rare isn’t purple in the middle. Table next to us sent theirs back too. For a $100 steak I was expecting better.

    We decided to choose Spencers, for a date night, on a recommendation from her son, it did not disappoint. Jessica was fantastic and took a wonderful care of us throughout our meal meal. The millionaire's bacon was out of this world and the ribeye was amazing, perfectly cooked to temperature. All of our food and drinks arrived precisely when they should have and our server and support staff were fantastic. We will be returning. I would recommend Spencers for dates and intimate dinners.

    Our son and grandchildren were our guests at Spencers before the Nutcracker ballet. Renato and Jesus and their brilliant team waited on us. Food was excellent, presentation beautiful, tasted delicious. Son and I ordered hot bourbon cider that was perfect for a sub zero night. Grandchildren, ages 8, 10, 12, ordered Mac and Cheese and were delighted by the presentation. The only down side was that the 8 and 10 year olds found the gigantic spoons too heavy and huge to eat with but Renato quickly remedied that. Great time! Beautiful holiday ambience. Hostess who greeted and seated us was professional, efficient, kind. A new holiday tradition has evolved!

    We’re not from Salt Lake City so booked Spencer’s based on the reviews because we wanted to try a non-chain steakhouse. Our experience here wasn’t great. We were sat and greeted promptly. Our server seemed new and unknowledgeable about the menu. My husband and I each ordered a steak, both of which were $60+, which seems overpriced, but we hoped they were worth it. The server described the seasoning as salt, pepper and butter, which seems pretty simple for the cost. We also ordered a loaded baked potato and sautéed mushrooms, both of which were $13+. You’d think for the price you pay for a meal here that you’d at least receive some bread and butter while you wait for your entree—not the case. My filet was good sized, tender and had decent flavor. My husband’s New York was thin and just did not look like a good cut of meat—it looked like meat I could buy at Walmart and grille at home. The baked potato was nice and big but way undercooked; it was lukewarm and hard in the middle. We sent it back and asked for a new one which came out prepared the same way as the first one; and the super chunky bacon bits, although different, are not great. The server was nice enough to have it removed from our bill. We wouldn’t recommend dining here if there are other options for more reputable steakhouses nearby. Very expensive and did not leave WOW’d by any means.

    Very disappointed in my dining experience. I ordered the NY Strip and was disappointed in the cut, no thicker than ¾ inch. Gristle and taste told me the cut could not have been prime despite being advertised as such. I’ve never seen a thin cut like this is a steak restaurant. Out of the gin I ordered for my extremely small martini, the bartender substituted another gin without asking first. Ice was floating in the martini? Waite staff was pleasant and ambience was very nice but didn’t make up for the food. Won’t be eating here again.

    Every time I am in SLC for work I take my team/clients to Spencers. Not only had the menu changed but the quality of the Ribeye was "Choice" at best. A few weeks ago in Spokane, the Spencers steaks were 100% better quality and actually prime. Maybe SLC decided to change distributors and cut corners to save money. Will find another steakhouse in SLC next month. Ruth Chris is right next door:)

    Food was good but very expensive. My son wanted to try the Waygu rib eye. I got a regular filet mignon. They tasted no different to me, yet his was $22 more. Entries came with no sides. We got mash potatoes which was a ton to share. They were fabulous. I asked for bread and butter. They did not offer that. You needed to order a butter board which had a sweet butter. It tasted good but I was looking for plain bread and butter. Ceaser salad was small and did not taste like Ceaser salads that I am use too. Staff was awesome. I would equate this to a Ruth Chris or Flemings. If rather save the money and go to Longhorn or Outback which the steaks tasted the same to me.

    Before the pandemic, my husband and I went here several times a year. During the pandemic, we didn’t go at all. This was our first visit back. Francisco and his assistant Luis provided great service. The changes to the menu since the pandemic, particularly the addition of a lobster tail, protein additions for salads, and an expanded dessert menu, are all positive. Serving the salads in bowls is also new, and a good development. We had the wagyu ribeyes, which were really good and cooked to perfect temperature. The French fries were fantastic. The only complaint is that the lobster tail was a bit undercooked. Salt Lake City has strong steakhouse options, and this is one of them.

    Overall, the dinner was very well done. They were out of the tomahawk chop, so my husband chose the veal, however, it was a little too rare for his liking. I had the ribeye and it was delicious-perfectly cooked. Our other guests loved the burger, salmon entree and filet mignon. All of the sides were terrific (carrots, fries, Brussels sprouts) except the mushrooms, which didn't really add anything special to the entrees and we regretted ordering it. To finish the meal, most of our table shared a huckleberry cobbler, which was outstanding. Our server, David, was incredible...very attentive, and his timing on everything was impeccable.

    Thoroughly enjoyed scallops, lamb chops and garlic mashed potatoes, dessert chocolate cake was a hit as well. A bit of change, shared/split salad is now charged extra $6. If I knew would just order a full plate for $16 and use small plates to share. Not mentioned on the menu, would be better if it was. Otherwise great dinner.

We recently made some updates to our menu and split charges being one of them, I can definitely put in a request to have the font size increased on the menu, so it is more visible to the eye. We thank you for your feedback and are always searching for better ways to improve our guest experience.
