    We had lunch today at Spencers. It was fabulous! We chose the luncheon offer which included salad or soup (we had one of each and both were absolutely delicious!), followed with an entree of steak with loaded baked potato (was good) and white fish over mashed potatoes and spinach (delightful) followed with an upside down pineapple cake which was truly melting in our mouths. This also included our drinks of coffee and ice tea. Not only was the food excellent, the prices were very resonable for today, especially the luncheon special menu which is what we had above. Service was excellent. The only problem we had was two men sitting behind our table who were way too loud! They made our conversations difficult. Otherwise - highly recommended!!

    We really enjoy Bar Cecil. Great atmosphere with beautiful bar and retro artwork. Good Old Fashioneds to start, anddelicious rolls Parker House style. I enjoyed a skirt steak- frittes, and the frittes were perfect. My wife ordered a pasta with too much pepper for her taste, and our server Eric had it remade with minimal pepper in a few minutes. We’ll be back every time we’re in town .
