                        It appeared that they over sold reservations and we had to wait half an hour for our table. The restaurant was extremely busy, but once we were seated service was excellent. Food was excellent.

                        We were celebrating a milestone birthday this week and decided to have a special dinner for our last night in the desert. The ambiance, the food, our waiter….all was fantastic. I would definitely return.

                        We made our original reservation for 1:15pm, but got there about half an hour early. The grounds around the restaurant were beautiful, and we checked in early, with the understanding we wouldn’t be seated for half an hour or so. The staff was very accommodating, and’s offered us and table within about 10 minutes. The wait staff were all amazing! The entrees were beyond excellent, and for what we ordered for meals, the prices were very reasonable for us in Palm Springs. Fantastic place! We will be back frequently when back in Palm Springs!

                        I have eaten at Spencer’s more than a dozen times over the last 20 years and was excited to go back. What a disappointment. From the surly hostess to the entrees that came while we were only part way through our appetizers and were mediocre at best, the entire meal was disappointing. Spencer’s appears to have turned itself into a Cheesecake Factory with a stiff price tag. I won’t be going back.
