Spencer's Restaurant
American · Sunday Brunch · Palm Springs, CA
About
The scent of mesquite from the outdoor patio grill mingles with the mountain air. Spencer's Restaurant is an adult-oriented spot opened by an owner who named it after his husky, Spencer. It's been a Palm Springs fixture since 2000, serving American cuisine with a Pacific Rim twist. The patio is famously dog-friendly, and there's a dress code: no baseball caps or flip-flops after dark.
Reservations are accepted, and the full bar makes a good Sex on the Beach, according to regulars. Sunday brunch here is an event in itself, with options like traditional American fare alongside Pacific-inspired dishes. If you're planning a romantic dinner, Friday through Sunday are the busiest nights. For a change of pace, you might also check out LuLu California Bistro nearby.
