Nestled at the base of soaring Mt. San Jacinto in Palm Springs, Spencer's Restaurant features Four-Star American fine cuisine with a French and Pacific Rim influence. Swiss-born and European-trained, Chef Urs Balmer brings Four Star dining to Spencer's with his outstanding repertoire and a long list of impressive credentials, including the prestigious James Beard Award and a World Club Gourmet Society lifetime membership.

Spencer's glamorous decor and mountain views are the perfect blend of stylish elegance and comfortable informality. Two phenomenal patios, one with gigantic ficus trees, and the luxurious interior created by renowned Los Angeles restaurant designer, Dodd Mitchell, provide a visual feast. The true star, however, is the cuisine.
