    Spencers is so guaranteed to provide amazing food, service, attention to detail. The only downside is the noise level when the restaurant is busy. There are no sound absorbers in the decor, so it makes it difficult to carry on conversation. I have never been disappointed When I’ve dined at Spencers .

    Lunch. Limited choice menu. Appetizers overpriced. Entrees not as high end as expected. Overall, got the impression it was all low cost food with a big mark up to the customer. Server was very attentive.

    Best service we have ever received. The prices were comparable to other high end restaurants. I would say they only slight downfall would be the amount of food that you recieve for the value. A couple more bites added to each dish portion would go a long way. Will definetly be back.

    We had the Caesar salad. Was heavy on the anchovies but good. Tenderloin with mashed potatoes. Cooked to perfection. Shrimp & Scallop pasta. OUTSTANDING! We found it loud (although it was a Saturday night). We had a table at the window. Some lights or lit trees, etc would have been so romantic Our server was awkward and inattentive. Food was delicious!

    The ambience (on the waterfront) was lovely. The service was very good we were not rushed and the waiter was friendly with a sense of humour. The quality of food was OK but for the price I expected it to have more flavour and more exciting overall. It was something I could have made at home.

    Waiter was amazing. Food was okay. Prime rib sandwich had more onions than beef thus onion flavour overpowering the taste. Certainly a great location. I have eaten here before with better meals.

    The weather was also a factor to our visit. It was gorgeous out for a weekend in November. We’re visiting from Pickering and from Toronto. We were very impressed with the food and service. Will definitely go back and come on a Wednesday to try your 2.00 shucked oysters and the seafood platter.
