Spencer's - Palm Springs

This is my favorite restaurant in Palm Springs. The first time I visited was a year ago and I was very impressed with everything. Tonight was my second visit and I was absolutely blown away. The service and food were just top notch. I had the calamari appetizer which was good, but the duck entree was outstanding. I just loved the cherries and dates that came with the duck, adding to a touch of fruity sweetness to the poultry. It's just perfect in my opinion. Even better was the extremely gracious and timely service that we received. Their entire team from our excellent server, Daniel, to the bus boys and food runners worked like a well oiled machine. It was impressive how they handled special requests with our party of 8 with all nods and smiles of acknowledgment, and it was all greatly appreciated. We sat in the patio and there are plenty of heaters to keep the area warm on chilly evenings. The light from the propane heater flames and the landscape lights make the outdoor space really lovely, inviting and intimate. One thing is certain, whenever we come to PSP, which is every year, we will be back.

Nice, chill environment. Not very loud, and dim lights which we enjoyed. Our waiter was very nice, offered us the specials for the day and also recommended us the desserts. I ordered the carrot cake since it's my fav dessert. The main course was a fair amount of food, I ordered steak, and it was delicious. The waiting time was fair. They also offer valet parking which was nice.

WOW! This was my first time visiting Spencer's and I'm so glad I picked it! We came here for my boyfriend's birthday and it was such a great find. I made reservations for 2 people and chose the indoor seating. Once we arrived and I saw the outdoor seating I regretted my decision. The outdoor patio was super cute! Next time I will definitely sit outside. We used their valet parking which was very fast once we finished our dinner. The menu has a good variety of options and we decided on the Spencer's hot appetizer sampler, pan fried Norwegian salmon, sonoma breast of duck, and finished off with the creme' brûlée. The appetizer sampler was a great choice since we got to try to crab cakes, calamari, and coconut shrimp! My favorite of the three was the coconut shrimp but they were all delicious! The crab cakes came on a lemon caper sauce that was the perfect mix if creamy and tangy! The coconut shrimp was crispy and had the subtle coconut flavor and was so tasty. As for the calamari it had great crisp and the sauce was a nice add on. The salmon was cooked to perfection for me, a crispy skin but still tender! My boyfriend's duck was actually SO good. It was extremely soft and tender and literally melted in your mouth. I would 100% recommend visiting Spencer's if you are in the area! A great place to celebrate an occasion or just want to have a nice dinner.

Came here for breakfast before traveling to the tennis tournament in Indian Wells. Absolutely delicious breakfast, would highly recommend. Beautiful space, great ambience.

Food was delicious and portions were very large. The service was relaxed and enjoyable. The best part of all was the vibe, I was relaxing in a sunny seat with a typical Palm Springs tennis session going on behind me. Lots of people watching and doggies too. I wish I dressed up a little bit. The restrooms were large and clean but there were only 2 restrooms for such a large restaurant. Also I arrived at 12:30pm on a Saturday and there was no wait for a party of 2. Parking is $3 valet
