    Wonderful as always. Loved the additional outdoor space, which was new to me. Service was a little off. Waiter seemed unsure of the menu, forgot a coffee, and we had to ask for iced coffee refills, but was quick to rectify the situation. Food was fantastic. The Greek salad exceded expectations and the crab cakes and Wellington sandwiches were a hit as always. Will always highly recommend.

    One of our very favorite places in Palm Springs. Excellent Prix Fixe meals. My shrimp starter was delicious and the roast duck so succulent and generous. My husband had the New York steak and claimed it was the best New York he had ever eaten. Spencer’s is always our go-to place for any meal in Palm Springs. Wait staff are all very polite and efficient.

    We made a reservation several months ago just like in the past 20 years. Seating location is always challenging with the frosty personnel at front desk check in. We are out of town guest visiting a few times a year.
