    Lovely restaurant. The service was not the best. Everyone seemed very in a hurry and things felt rushed. Food was good. My entree came out way too hot. Waiter appeared to have too many tables.

    Went to dinner with friends and had a lovely evening. There is a nice wine selection, nice variety on the menu, service is good. I was a disappointed however in their approach to my food intolerance. I cannot eat dairy and I alerted them to that in the notes when I made the reservation. There was no mention of it by the waitress and I had to ask and have her check if certain options contained dairy. She even forgot at one point to consult the chef and had to go ask again. There was only one vegan option on the menu and most dishes contained butter so I ended ordering two appetizers for my meal which they brought with the other appetizers. Otherwise, we had a lovely evening and if you can eat anything, this is a good choice for food and conversation with friends or family.

    This was our 9th visit to Spencers in the past 8 years. We normally make a tradition of having Thanksgiving Dinner at Spencers. Service, food, and attention is always first rate and appreciated. Will be back for Turkey Day.

    Such a perfect afternoon for a late lunch at Spencer’s. As always, their entire team delivered excellent service and delicious cuisine. Michelle was a delight and the atmosphere inspiring.

    Our service was really poor. Inattentive. Never took a drink order, was irritated when we wanted to review the menu after not liking the choices in the business lunch. We waited a long time for him to return to take our food order and was preparing to leave when one in our party spoke up about what he wanted to drink. He had to come back to ask what one of us wanted for his side dish. And forgot the request for some spicy mustard. I was so disappointed as I invited two friends who had never been to Palm Springs before. There are so many good restaurants in the valley from which to choose. We will not return to Spencer’s.

    Everything was good and we come here all the time. I don’t think they had enough servers on today. We saw our server to order and then when she dropped off the check ( tag team services ) but she was very nice. I hope they share there tips with the workers that work the hardest bringing the food out and clearing the table. We will be back. One last thing I am in a power wheelchair and we always let the reservation know this. Up until a year or so ago the parking people were expecting us and always had a spot for my handicap van to park on or near the one and only Handi cap spot. We had to park four blocks away

    We always make sure to come to Spencer’s annually on our visit with family. It never disappoints. The food is so delicious, the staff is very accommodating, and we always sit in the beautiful courtyard. Next visit we’ll make sure to have dinner there too

    We always enjoy the service and food at Spencer’s. The patio is delightful in the morning, and the breakfast/Brunxh meal satisfies!
