                        Loved our experience. Party of 4 celebrating a birthday. We had a nice note of celebration waiting for us when we weee seated. We had a bit of a chilly night and sat outside, all was perfect. Warm heaters all around. Food was excellent, large portions. Service was relaxed and well paced. When ever we are in PS we make sure to dine at Spencer's. Be sure to get reservations, a must.

                        Excellent dinner as always. 5 of us dined with 4 opting for the set menu, which is such a great value with multiple options for each of the 3 courses. Portions are generous. I had the spinach salad and rack of lamb, perfectly medium rare. Spencer’s is always on my list of must dine places when I visit PS. It never disappoints
