Enjoyed a lovely lunch catching up with a friend. Our start time was 1:30 PM so lunch was in full swing and it was a bit noisy until some patrons finished their meal and departed. we were very leisurely about ordering in the server was patient without rushing us. We stayed until 4:30 PM.

Always guaranteed to be a good meal at Spencer's. My short ribs were fabulous and the Wednesday night oysters are a treat alongside one of their Parker House rolls. Service tonight was great as usual too.

Great place and location, sadly the coffee during brunch was sub par - would be a great investment to use more coffee beans, nothing like a rich cup of coffee with brunch. Brunch menu is limited and only offers eggs Benedict, no other option, aan omelette would have been great.

Ordered the tomahawk for two…cooked perfectly to a medium rare, accompaniments of potatoes and root veggies were very tasty. Highly recommend and snag a lake view seat. Service is 10/10
