    One of my favourite restaurants. Been there frequently. Both of my companions had a lovely dinner. I, unfortunately ordered the prime rib which had fine flavour but was the toughest prime rib I have ever had in my 60 years of eating at fine restaurants. Very disappointing. Everything else was great

    The food at Spencer's was excellent which the 5 of us enjoyed. Our reservation was for 7:30 pm of which we were on time. We were seated a bit later than that, but the problem was with the time it took to have our main courses. It was nearly 9:30, which was much too long. I have never had this happen before. If the kitchen was that busy on a Saturday night, then some compensatory mechanism is required. Our server was very good and apologetic as was the manager. But it wasn't their fault. In compensation, we were given a wonde3rful charcuterie board of deserts, which was very thoughtful. I would go back to Spencer's for sure in the future, but something needs to be rethought about the time it takes to prepare a meal on a busy evening.

    We love to go to Spencer’s. They have the best oysters around, and every main dish we’ve ever had has been outstanding. It is always a good idea to go to Spencer’s…the views are incredible and the food is even better!

    Too many tables crammed into too small a space. It was extremely loud in the restaurant and challenging to have a conversation amongst a table of four. Better space planning is needed. The front entrance has a generous sized vestibule to contain the cold but for a large portion of our dinner the vestibule doors were being held open and cold air was rushing through the restaurant. It was below 0 Degrees Celsius that evening.

    Very good food and nicely presented. Service was great, attentive, personable but not intrusive to 4 friends having lunch and an afternoon visit. We will be back. Thank you to Elsa, our server- she was very enjoyable.

    Sasha provided a great experience. We were not rushed and had an amazing time. The venison was perfectly cooked and delicious. My spouse had the short rib and he loved it. Can’t wait to come back.

    Very nice dinner. Good food (gnocchi, short rib). Great service. Very dark night did not get to see the lake. Cool seasonal cocktails (purple rain, American pie). Crispy Brussels sprouts with maple bacon - were awesome!!
