    Celebrated a special evening and ordered from the prix fixe menu. Both of us had the Kung Pao Calamari - it was delicious. The sauce was excellent and the calamari was tender. My spouse had the Lake Superior White Fish and said it was very good - but would have preferred it with the Kung Pao sauce instead of the plated sauce. My spouse is Asian and has a preference for spicy flavors. I had the New York Steak and found it flavorful. We both took the carrot cake home - as the meal was more than filling and enjoyable. The server and table staff were attentive and not disruptive - which we appreciated. The meal, service, and ambiance were as enjoyable as ever. We'll definitely continue going to Spencer's.

    Another delightful celebration meal at Copley's. Our cocktails were smooth and perfect: Henrietta and a G&T. Generous wines pours of the excellent Deux Roches white. The lobster and shrimp ceviche had the right level of kick in the red salsa, and the house Caesar was unique and crisply fresh as usual. Both our entrees were perfectly done - one swordfish and one tuna special. And the chocolate soufflé was a sumptuous finish with the decadent salted caramel ice cream. All with attentive service from Eric. LOVE this place.
