Smoked Scottish salmon, homemade hollandaise sauce, roasted fingerling potatoes. $15.95
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
This was yummy. I liked the smoked salmon and the hollandaise sauce was bright and delicious. I think the roasted potatoes were the best part though. Mmm…
“Volcano cake” with liquidy chocolate center, baked to order with vanilla ice cream, fresh berries, and chocolate and berry sauces. $10
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
This cake was yummy! It was moist and nice and molten in the center. I also liked the two different sauces along with the ice cream and berries.
With berries and chocolate sauce. Complimentary
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
I guess they use Haagen Daz ice cream at Spencer’s so I wasn’t too impressed. I liked that it was free though because of a birthday. 🙂
Bone in New York strip steak, whipped potatoes, baked tomato, and house steak sauce. $38
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
Mmm, this steak was great! I liked the bit of char on the outside, and the center was wonderfully medium-rare the way I like it. The house steak sauce was also delicious.
Whole grain mustard-herb crusted, with gratinee potatoes, green beans, and red wine demi-glace. $38
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
Where Spencer’s lacked in the appetizer department, they made up for it in the entrees. This rack of lamb was delicious and the portion was ginormous! I loved everything about this dish. Noms!
Part of Spencer’s Hot Appetizer Sampler $25
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
This entire appetizer sampler was a disaster. Even these calamari were over-fried, rock hard, and ready to cut the roof of your mouth. Everything was also SO salty! #fail
Red wine.
Cilantro soy sauce, chili aioli, and sriracha. Part of Spencer’s Hot Appetizer Sampler $25
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
These potstickers were rock hard and gross. You could chip a tooth trying to bite these things! And the “cilantro” soy was so salty as a dipping sauce. I’d say this appetizer was a failure.
Sparkling wine.
Hawaiian sugarloaf pineapple and sweet pineapple glaze. Part of Spencer’s Hot Appetizer Sampler $25
Spencer’s Restaurant, Palm Springs CA
These shrimp were over-fried and the crust was really hard and dry. Thank goodness for the pineapple glaze to add some moisture and soften them up a bit.
Assorted bread with butter.
