    Location is wonderful, food was good enough, service was phenomenal, all staff was attentive and patience (we have a 3 old). Price was fair, and definitely lower than what you would pay downtown in a place not as good. Thanks

    I just had the most amazing birthday celebration at Spencer at Waterfront, and I can’t stop raving about it! From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting, setting the perfect tone for the evening. The food was nothing short of exceptional. Every dish we tried was delicious and beautifully presented, making it hard to choose a favorite! It was a delight for both the taste buds and the eyes. A special shoutout to the manager, who truly is a charmer! She made us feel right at home and ensured everything was running smoothly, which really added to our experience. Our server was also fantastic—friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile. My kids, husband, and our guests all had a wonderful time, laughing and enjoying every moment. It’s safe to say that Spencer at Waterfront made my birthday unforgettable. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy a fantastic meal. Thank you for making my day so special!

    Our waiter was exceptional - timing, friendliness, knowledge and attentive. Food was delicious - prime rib, lamb and seafood. We also ordered a fabulous Canadian wine “13 Kings”. Our round booth with views of the water and skating rink was ideal for six forever friends toasting and celebrating a special birthday. Highly recommend this beautiful restaurant for it’s food and location on Lake Ontario.

    Great experience from a service and setting standpoint. Food very good. Menu has degraded and shrunk since last visit, as has the value. The prices used to reflect the value received, now this place is way more expensive than it should be. We will be back, but not as often.

    We had the burger, the duck confit and the branzino (3 of us). We also had a side order of fries and brussel sprouts. Everything was excellent, and the portions were very generous. Service was great and I'm sure the setting is even better in the daytime when you can see the lake in all its glory. I would definitely recommend this restaurant.

    Amazing service & ambiance however the food prices seemed extremely high compared to similar restaurants. The other issue was there wasn't 1 vegetarian option on the main course menu. This was very surprising. Thank you to our waiter and the entire Spencer's staff for the excellent service!!!
