This place is gorgeous, and it has quickly become one of my favourite places to eat (when I can afford it, haha). Our server, Ian, was fantastic! He had an amazing vibe from the beginning, very personable, and he was so attentive! Never had an empty water glass, and when I dropped my knife, he had a clean one in my hand within seconds without me having to say a thing. Can’t say enough nice things about that man. Definitely elevated my experience. And of course, the food is next level. Every bite has layers of flavours in it. It’s like magic. Can’t even pick a favourite part of my meal, everything was so good. Can’t wait to come back :) .

I’ve been dining at Spencer’s for close to 15 years and we chose this as the location for our Christmas Eve family dinner. Our server Brad was top notch, food was hot, delicious and beautifully presented. The restaurant was full but not noisy and the ambience was fantastic. Overall a very enjoyable experience.

We have been to Spencer’s many times in the past but compared to previous visits we were disappointed by the food. We were booked for lunch. The entrees were mainly deli type sandwiches or a burger. We were expecting something more interesting. The lobster rolls tasted like tinned lobster. The deserts were good. The restaurant was full and very noisy so conversation was difficult. There were no booths available.

Scott was our Waiter and he was Excellent. We had the Roast Beef and it was the best Roast Beef ever ! Fingerling potatoes & baby carrots and greens. Started off with Butternut Squash soup and finished with a fancy vanilla ice cream dessert.
