                        We came to celebrate our good friend, Mikey's, birthday. We had our favorite server, Michelle, who made it a very special occasion. We started with cocktails which were perfect. Each if our entrees from the Eggs Benedict to the Oysters to the Salads were all great as always. We highly recommend Spencer's.

                        We visited Palm Springs for Thanksgiving. Spencer's was a recommendation from our Airbnb host. We ate here for brunch and dinner (so far). I bet we go back one more time before we leave. We love it here! The food is delicious and it's quiet (peaceful might be a better word). We had the eggs benedict, BLT (I'm obsessed with BLTs this year) and the Dover Sole. Lastly the creme brulee. Highly recommend it and sitting outside!!

                        A new find for me in Palm Springs despite the fact I’ve been visiting the town for more than 30 years. And what a pleasant surprise. Slightly off the beaten track and chocker with locals, Spencer’s is a rare find. Professional, friendly, laid back, this is a place for grown ups and their pets (but not their kids). Didn’t spot one mobile phone out as guests seem to enjoy laughing and talking to checking their insta accts. Fantastic food and service. Really can’t find a negative.
