Absolutely amazing lunch on the patio (the best restaurant patio in the area). The Beef Wellington sandwich (thinly sliced beef with liver pate and mushrooms) is out of this world. Add their world class onion rings and you experience an edible masterpiece. On the other hand, you could have the crabcake benedict. Take it from my wife who is a true benedict snob: it is the best crab benedict ever! Two incredibly light crab cakes topped with eggs which can only be descibed as cloudlike (light and airy). Be sure to save room for the heavenly tiramisu or creme brule, both served with the freshest frui and incredibly light whipped creme. An absolute culinary must in Palm Springs.

This was a lovely dining experience in Palm Springs. The food was excellent, and although not cheap, the prix fixe menu offered added value. We all enjoyed our dishes as well as the ambiance. One thing I might mention, the servers should remember to hold silverware by the handles only, 3 times during the meal when our server handed spoons and forks to us, she held them by the end we use to eat with. This feels especially important in a restaurant where we paid a premium to dine.

What is now the location of Spencer’s Restaurant began as the Palm Springs Tennis Club in 1937. Pearl “Auntie Pearl” McManus originally set up two tennis courts and a small outdoor pool below her cliffside mansion. The Club attracted elite tennis players from around the world and quite a few Hollywood celebrities, including Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, and that is just the short list. Many years and many owners later, Harold Matzner opened Spencer’s in February of 2000 and named it after his 110# Siberian Husky.
We ordered breakfast at about 9:30am on a Monday and did not have a wait. The American style breakfast and some sides were absolutely perfect. Sausage patties were high quality and the poached eggs were perfect! Our servers were very professional and knowledgeable.
Post Script 12 February 2026: My wife and I came in for breakfast and were seated. Immediately, we were asked if we wanted drinks and we just required water. No problem. However, after watching adjoining tables ordering breakfast and beginning to eat, we realized that we were being completely ignored. Probably no intent, but we just could not get our order in. My wife even waved twice at the staff- no response. After 20 minutes of waiting, we departed for Sherman’s Restaurant, where we were treated quickly and with respect. My wife’s family was in the hotel/restaurant business for almost 50 years, and was very upset at our experience.

Great atmosphere. Lots of heaters and very good food. The short rib was delicious and the sweet chili calamari appetizer was very good with a large portion. The duck breast was a bit overdone and dry. The prix fixe was very good with standard portion sizes. Save room for dessert.

We enjoyed a beautiful sunny lunch with the chef’s prix-fixe menu. We had our choice of soup or salad, a main of fish or steak, and a delicious chocolate mousse for dessert. Everything was high quality—a perfect way to spend the afternoon

We came for the food, but we stayed because I’m pretty sure our server, Michelle, is a foodie savant.
She is effortlessly beautiful—and was efficient in a way that felt like she was reading our minds. I thought about wanting another Stella Artois, and there she was. It’s a level of service that’s borderline psychic.
The food? Absolutely flawless. Every bite was on point-I almost forgot to check if any celebrities were sitting at the next table.
If you want to feel like a high-roller, book a table via OpenTable and ask for Michelle at Hostess stand.
Five stars. Michelle for President

Short review: Excellent service, excellent food, excellent no-rush atmosphere.
This was my first time visiting Spencer’s and I will surely be back. We had 12:30 reservations, arrived at about 12:05, and we’re promptly seated. The restaurant was pretty busy, but they found us our table.
We sat on the patio. The atmosphere was great. It’s a dog-frie fly restaurant and there were a handful of very well behaved dogs there. I even saw a waiter bring one a bowl of water.
I had the braised short rib. It was perfect. The meat was tender but not mushy. The reduction it is served with was perfectly seasoned, and the mushrooms melted in my mouth. I wish there were more mushrooms. The carrots and other veggies were okay. The mashed potatoes were delightful.
My friend had the risotto and although I didn’t personally taste it, he said he loved it and would absolutely order again.
I also had a virgin watermelon mojito which was quite good.
Will definitely visit again.

I was there with a very large group for a business dinner. We had a preselected menu from which to select an appetizer, main course, and dessert so I did not see the entire menu. However, everyone’s food was outstanding no matter what they ordered. I was with someone with a food allergy who had trouble picking from the preselected list. The waiter went to the chef three times to check on ingredients. He finally gave her a full dining menu so she could select something. My dining partner was very grateful for the extraordinary attention to her needs. Great food, very attentive staff. I am a big water drinker and my class never got less than an inch from the top. Unfortunately, as are so many restaurants these days, it was very loud. However, it was also because every table was occupied. We had some “plus-ones” dining separately from the business group and their experience was just as outstanding as ours. I tried to go back on another night on my own, but I couldn’t get a reservation.

Outstanding food and ambiance. Healthy pours in drinks and food cooked to perfection. We normally go for dinner, but did try their brunch which was also excellent. The Tuna Tartar was the best we have ever had!

The restaurant had a classy vibe with perfect lighting…warm and soft, not too bright, which made it just right for a romantic night out. The bartender was super friendly and mixed some amazing cocktails, and the service overall was spot on. The lamb chops were tender and full of flavor, and the gazpacho was really refreshing. The only letdown was the carbonara. I had a feeling it wouldn’t be authentic when I saw peas in it … pasta was cooked nicely, but the sauce tasted like it had heavy cream, which I wouldn’t expect from a place like this. Other than that, everything else was fantastic.
