    We went for a lunch on a Sunday afternoon. Quite enjoyable. Service was outstanding. I always find it a bit noisy, so ask if you can avoid the middle of the restaurant. A booth along the side is nice. If going in the summer or fall, the patio is an amazing place to sit.

    Firstly We were greeted with smiling happy hostesses upon arrival which was a pleasant improvement from our previous visit to Spencer’s. Frank our server was outstanding, he remembered us and was so friendly and helpful. At the chef’s suggestion we enjoyed the delicious branzino, oysters and steak tartare. Always an energetic and sparkling atmosphere. 10/10

    Spencer’s never disappoints. I had wedge which is so great and short rib that melted in your mouth. Love the cherry with it. The tartness of the cherry compliments the short rib so well. The service was really good. Will definitely be back.

    Location is wonderful, food was good enough, service was phenomenal, all staff was attentive and patience (we have a 3 old). Price was fair, and definitely lower than what you would pay downtown in a place not as good. Thanks

    Frank, the Bartender, was our server and he was top notch! Friendly, always checking in, another wonderful experience at Spencer's. Started with Topside Happy Hour Appies (Mon - Fri 3 to 5 pm) Chardonnay Butter Mussels (Vine tomato sauce) and Cheese Plate which is actually blue cheese, apple slices and apricot spread on Brioche toast. Yummy and portions were good for sharing. Dark and Stormy cocktail 3 - 5 pm for $9 was a steal, and virgin mocktail by Frank was a nice touch. Dinner Entree, New Zealand Venison with Celery root pavé, caramelized red beet, cranberry mostarda is a Chef Matteo specialty ... Wow! Excellent presentation and delish. We love Spencer's for the food and the team. Everyone we encounter including the Managers are so kind ... and we feel like we're part of the family!
