                        Thus far, Spencer's has not disappointed, and I can't imagine they ever will. We arrived a little early and the front staff greeted us with amazing smiles, clearly indicating the type of service and warmth we were going to receive. Our waitress made great recommendations, she was prompt, and as busy as she was throughout the night, she was very attentive to our table. I don't have the words to describe the food because it's an experience unlike any other. The calamari appetizer had a perfect crispy tenderness with a new fusion flavor. Their soup of the day was creamy, smooth and delightful. Our seafood main courses, each hot andcooked to perfection, and in each bite, one can taste every ingredient used. It was an overall well balanced delight. I cannot stress enough how welcomed everyone made us feel. Thank you to everyone at Spencer's, from those who greeted us walking in, to everyone in the kitchen who made delivered a masterpiece of food and service.

                        The setting among the trees was lovely. We chose the $60 prix fixe menu, which had several appealing choices for each of three courses. The portions were generous and the food was delicious. Simon, our server, was friendly and efficient. It was my husband’s birthday and he received sincere wishes and an ice cream ball with a candle. All in all, the four of us were very happy with our dining experience.
