Spencers Restaurant - Palm Springs (CA)

5 /5 Matt: Short review: Excellent service, excellent food, excellent no-rush atmosphere. This was my first time visiting Spencers and I will surely be back. We had 12:30 reservations, arrived at about 12:05, and were promptly seated. The restaurant was pretty busy, but they found us our table. We sat on the patio. The atmosphere was great. Its a dog-frie fly restaurant and there were a handful of very well behaved dogs there. I even saw a waiter bring one a bowl of water. I had the braised short rib. It was perfect. The meat was tender but not mushy. The reduction it is served with was perfectly seasoned, and the mushrooms melted in my mouth. I wish there were more mushrooms. The carrots and other veggies were okay. The mashed potatoes were delightful. My friend had the risotto and although I didnt personally taste it, he said he loved it and would absolutely order again. I also had a virgin watermelon mojito which was quite good. Will definitely visit again.

5 /5 Paul Mackley: Outstanding food and ambiance. Healthy pours in drinks and food cooked to perfection. We normally go for dinner, but did try their brunch which was also excellent. The Tuna Tartar was the best we have ever had!

5 /5 Barbara Snapp: I was there with a very large group for a business dinner. We had a preselected menu from which to select an appetizer, main course, and dessert so I did not see the entire menu. However, everyones food was outstanding no matter what they ordered. I was with someone with a food allergy who had trouble picking from the preselected list. The waiter went to the chef three times to check on ingredients. He finally gave her a full dining menu so she could select something. My dining partner was very grateful for the extraordinary attention to her needs. Great food, very attentive staff. I am a big water drinker and my class never got less than an inch from the top. Unfortunately, as are so many restaurants these days, it was very loud. However, it was also because every table was occupied. We had some "plus-ones" dining separately from the business group and their experience was just as outstanding as ours. I tried to go back on another night on my own, but I couldnt get a reservation.

4 /5 Mark Lato: Atmosphere: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Food: 4/5 First time at Spencer’s and it was a great experience overall. The place is absolutely beautiful and the service was excellent! The food came out hot and fast and was really delicious, however, everything needed salt! That’s the only complaint. Definitely recommend for a date, anniversary, or birthday.

4 /5 mark aldrin pulido: The restaurant had a classy vibe with perfect lighting...warm and soft, not too bright, which made it just right for a romantic night out. The bartender was super friendly and mixed some amazing cocktails, and the service overall was spot on. The lamb chops were tender and full of flavor, and the gazpacho was really refreshing. The only letdown was the carbonara. I had a feeling it wouldn’t be authentic when I saw peas in it ... pasta was cooked nicely, but the sauce tasted like it had heavy cream, which I wouldn’t expect from a place like this. Other than that, everything else was fantastic.
