An outstanding dining experience from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully composed, balancing flavors, textures, and presentation with precision. The braised short rib was rich and tender, complemented by vibrant accompaniments like lemon mascarpone fregola and roasted cauliflower. Thoughtful details—like the delicate crunch of almond brittle and perfectly placed Amarena cherries—elevated the meal. Exceptional execution, warm ambiance, and impeccable service made for a truly memorable evening.

I have been going to Spencer's for many years and it never disappoints. I had lunch on Sunday, and even though the restaurant was quiet due to a snowstorm the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I recommend this restaurant.
