One of the best restaurants in Palm Springs with a wonderful Mediterranean feel to its patio garden, excellent food and a strong wine list. There's also a gorgeous indoor dining and bar area.

Lovely outdoor seating. Large and good cocktails. Duck was very good! Service was fine until dinner was served and they forgot about us...

A step back in time to the fabulous, vintage Palm Springs dining experience I’d been searching for. Outstanding food, cocktails, wine and service in a retro-chic indoor/outdoor setting.

Had a very enjoyable dinner at Spencer's. Ate outside and not far from the pool. Food was great and the prix fixe menu made it very affordable. The wine list also had very reasonable $ options.

Enjoyed taking a ride in this Time Machine. Clubby vibe. Strong outdoor dining scene. Strong drinks get you ready for the ghosts of Sinatra and Dinah Shore to make an appearance.

We love the ambiance of the place. The food that they served was so delicious. The place was so cozy and calming. The staves were so friendly. We can't wait to visit this restaurant again.

Great outdoor seating. But poor service that is very inattentive. Inconsistent serving sizes as well. The Duck was over cooked and disappointing.

Spencer has a pleasant atmosphere, urban, casual and joyful, and already had some customers enjoying a drink on the terrasse when most of the close-by restaurants still were empty.

Great selection of eggs benedict options and they do a good Bloody Mary.
Elizabeth SchukeiNovember 21, 2015

Mushroom Risotto is excellent. Gazpacho just okay, not much lobster at all. Good service, great setting. Reasonable prices.

Great breakfast selection for traditional, hearty meals. Well executed too

Spencer's is definitely a nice place with great staff, but the food is nothing special. The crowd is also much older; so, if you're looking for something hip you're at the wrong place.

Harold Matzner and chef Eric, you are always a class act. Lovely lunch today to honor Betty Francis!

Outdoor patio is nice, but even with the misters and air vents, if it's hot, it doesn't matter much.

Service was great and food was good. Very large portions. Prices are great but nothing very memorable about it even though it's a fancy tennis club
