Spencer is truly something special. My partner and I try to get a reservation every month for date night, and it’s always the evening we look forward to the most. Every visit feels like a treat, the food is consistently incredible, the wine selection is magnificent, and the entire team is just the best. You can feel the care and passion in everything they do.
We’re also part of their wine club, which is one of our favorite things! Each year’s theme is so thoughtful and creative, and it’s clear how much love and attention goes into curating it. Spencer is more than just a restaurant, it’s an experience that keeps getting better every time.
Also, I just want to call out how dope it is that someone left a review of Spencer’s, that place at the mall lol

They are always opening late. Never on time. Today it was 12, than 1230. It’s now 1246 and still not open. Yet they have 4 workers in there laughing and doing inventory. This isn’t the customers fault. We show up to the posted hours and they are not open. Every time I come here it’s always an hour or later before they open.

Dinner at Spencer was outstanding! The food was so fresh and had great variety in both the vegetarian and omnivore options. Everything that we had was absolutely delicious. Especially enjoyed the eggplant and ricotta dish. Wine choices were also very good! Definitely recommend dining here!

What a wonderful experience! Food was fantastic! The only thing is that they sat us right next to the speaker and it was difficult to talk to each other.

This is the best restaurant in Ann Arbor and probably Washtenaw county. If you don't get it, stop eating food.

Amazing food, wine, and service. Miranda was great and so informative as we didn’t know what wine to drink. Will be coming back soon!

Excellent food, drinks, and atmosphere. The rotating menu of seasonal flavors is well balanced and thoughtful. The menu for each month is fixed, but they have a few optional add-ons if you're still hungry. Their wait staff is knowledgeable about all the food and eager to recommend a glass of their favorite wine.
One small area for improvement: our first course was a delicious focaccia, but a little olive oil for dipping would have really taken it over the top. Olive oil was one of the optional add-ons for $4, but we didn't think about it until after we had mostly finished the course. I'd suggest just including this kind of thing as part of the course, and if you need to raise the overall price by $4, I don't think anyone would complain.

my partner & I came here after waiting for the perfect menu (for our tastes) to drop and it just so happened to be on our 7th anniversary! everything was very well balanced, the plating was beautiful, and the descriptions from our server were very helpful going into each course. the portions are actually very filling, which I was worried about in terms of value, and we both got a hojicha lemonade that paired extremely well with the menu for this month. my personal favorites were a kohlrabi, sprouts, and radish salad that had an amazing tahini, fried garlic, and sunflower seed dressing, and the lemon cake with Jasmine cream and candied buckwheat. I know my partner was in love with the green garlic pierogi and beets with farmer cheese & smoked olives (she doesn't usually like olives so it's a hard sell). I cant recommend this place enough if you like good food and have the means to afford it, they list the local farms they buy from as well so it's worth it to me!

I love spencer, but putting a $25 corkage fee when buying a bottle of wine from the restaurant to drink there is a ripoff.
