Service ALWAYS impecable. From the valet at the front desk to the receptionist and the servers! Always willing to help. The food was delicious although I had the potato pancakes and even though they came with sour cream and applesauce, they were pretty bland. Lacking flavor.

Of the four of us, each had something completely different from the Sunday brunch menu, not the Brunch specials menu where you get an appetizer and a dessert. One of us had the mushroom risotto, one had the whitefish, one had short ribs, and I had eggs scrambled with Scottish loxs. We had the Kung POA fried calamari as our appetizer. It was a generous serving and very tasty. We were all thrilled with the quality, deliciousness, and presentation of the food. We loved that Spencer’s is not too noisy, in part because they are up front about it not being a young kid-friendly restaurant. They allow 12 year olds and up. The service was good even at their busiest time and servers were friendly and careful. We will definitely go back. The menu had so many enticing dishes on their menu.

We chose to have breakfast at 11:00 am. The staff was friendly and attentive. My husband ordered the breakfast sandwich, which was acceptable. However, my corned beef hash resembled and tasted like canned corned beef hash, with a bland flavor and poor texture. Considering the price of $20.50, I expected a dish made with hand-cut brisket, chopped onions, peppers, and proper seasoning. Instead, I received what felt like $1.75 worth of canned hash.

Wonderful restaurant. Our food was amazing. Well prepared- we both had sea bass. Our server was very attentive and professional. Our food was served promptly and our server gave us time to eat without too much interruption.
