I’ve been dining at Spencer’s for close to 15 years and we chose this as the location for our Christmas Eve family dinner. Our server Brad was top notch, food was hot, delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant was full but not noisy and the ambience was fantastic. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

We have been to Spencer’s many times in the past but compared to previous visits we were disappointed by the food. We were booked for lunch. The entrees were mainly deli type sandwiches or a burger. We were expecting something more interesting. The lobster rolls tasted like tinned lobster. The deserts were good. The restaurant was full and very noisy so conversation was difficult. There were no booths available.
