We searched online for a place we could take Ivan, our Golden Retriever. He was welcomed with a water bowl - everyone seemed to like the fact that we brought him. It was his first fine dining experience and it went very well. I enjoyed the calamari, ravioli and carrot cake. My son's soft shell crab was delicious as well... more

Spencers was highly reccommended to us by our Concierge at our resort. I ordered duck and it was good but a little to well done. Our service was good and I would go there again if I get back to that area. more

We dined at Spencer's for the first time. We have heard good things about this restaurant for many years, but for some reason, we never had an opportunity to try this place. We were very glad we did. The place was beautifully decorated. The service was outstanding. We were very impressed with the menu, even though it was very clear... more

I was very impressed with this restaurant. We arrived early and they served us a couple of drinks, even though they had yet to even open for the evening. It is on the end of a street, right at the base of the mountains. The seating area is remarkable. It is all open, truly dining under the stars. The appetizer... more

Had "Chinese" salmon recipe that was about as Chinese as a taco is. Salmon was burnt on outside, dry on inside, and not fresh. Slow, awkward, unprofessional service. Sterile decor. Loud, tasteless, piped-in music. I dislike spending a lot of money, and getting nothing of quality in return. more

The ambianc of this restaurant is nice...cool lighting...live romantic piano sounds...the food??? If you don't mind bland tasting steak and lambchops, I recommend this restaurant. I didn't find any special flavor with their meat and would not recommend this restaurant if you are partial to taste! Thanks more

beautiful place set up against the mountains in a tennis club resort. In town on a dead end street with valet parking and welcoming help. Sit on the outdoor patio with large romantic lighting. The food was very good and nice presentation Wine list was good with choices in all price ranges. We were on vacation and very relaxed. When... more

The food and atmosphere for our dinner was fine. The menu leads with Chilean Sea Bass, which is both a bad choice because of overfishing this slow maturing species, but also because of high mercury levels. When I told this to the manager he laughed it off and said that Chilean Sea Bass was, "Our signature dish." I find it... more
