                        Dining at Spencer‘s restaurant is always an enjoyable experience. The food and ambience are great, and the service is usually great as well. However, on this occasion, our waitress seemed to be overwhelmed, and therefore service was slow and not up to its usual standards. Hopefully that will improve the next time we are there!
