Nestled at the base of Mt. San Jacinto in Palm Springs, Spencer's Restaurant features Four-Star American cuisine. A local favorite Spencer’s is voted Best Sunday Brunch, Best Outdoor Dining, Most Romantic and Best Continental Restaurant by readers of the Desert Magazine.

Chef Eric Wadlund brings Four Star dining to Spencer's with his outstanding repertoire and a long list of impressive credentials.

Spencer's casually elegant decor and mountain views are the perfect blend of stylish elegance and comfortable informality. Two phenomenal patios, one with gigantic ficus trees, and the luxurious interior created by renowned Los Angeles restaurant designer, Dodd Mitchell, provide a visual feast. The true star, however, is the cuisine.
