    We visit Palm Springs about twice a year. Spencer's is almost always a stop. Nice environment, Nice menu, Nice wine list. We usually go with the 3-course Prix Fixe Menu. We typically don't eat a lot and this size meal fits our needs well. We both had the Roasted Red and Yellow Beet Salad. both tasty and enjoyable. One of us had Oven Roasted Sonoma Duck Breast and the other the Boneless Slow Braised Beef Short Ribs. Both were nicely done and flavorful with enough left-overs for us to take home. Spencer's did accommodate one lactose intolerance well in the meal. For dessert, one of us had a Birthday and received a small dish of ice cream (with candle) in addition to his dessert choice - carrot cake. The other had the Sorbet Trio. We did ask to be seated in the patio area. If the weather is right, it is so much more inviting than in the inside dining area.

    Lovely higher end restaurant with valet parking for $3, attached to a tennis club. Dress is casual during the day (don’t know about dinner) and everyone was having a great time. Martinis were plentiful and staff bustled about. Very enjoyable.
