Spencer's at the Waterfront is my favourite restaurant in Burlington! Speaking for myself, I reserve my visits for special occasions because it is a "high end" establishment, so a bit on the expensive side. But--you do get what you pay for. The food is very elegant and lovingly prepared. The staff looks after you well, and the ambience was energetic: full of people at lunchtime. Wonderful place with a breathtaking view of Lake Ontario and Burlington Pier.

Food was decent, if a little overpriced for portions. Tartare was fabulous, avocado salad not so much. View was great. Music was all over the place. Experience was definitely driven by some really, really great service (Robert). Honestly made the whole night amazing, had great recommendations, was funny, and most importantly prompt. Probably wouldn't go back for the food, but definitely would for the service.

I booked a reservation during lunch time and it was very busy. Upon arriving, I was greeted by the hostess and told her I had a reservation and that my husband is just parking and will be here in a minute. She said that’s fine and insisted she seats me at the table. I was hesitant but she said it’s fine and walked me to the table. Once I sat down, a few seconds after I noticed she walked someone else to their table and my husband walked in at the same time. I had to get up and meet him at the lobby since nobody was there to walk him over. Very strange that she couldn’t just let me wait for 30 seconds so we could both be seated at the same time. Food was mediocre. The service was questionable. Sat for a full 1.5 hours with nobody checking to see how we were doing. Waitor would take our order and try to walk away as quickly as possible before we could add anything else. Since the service was not good, we decided not to order more drinks or food. Couldn’t justify spending another $100 when nobody was taking care of you.
