Reviews for Spencer's At The Waterfront in Burlington, ON

Beautiful heated patio overlooking the waterfront, and great service; our waitress was very nice. Ordered a few appetizers to... share and a drink. Kale Caesar Salad: good salad; I'm not normally a fan of kale but this tasted great. Not overly dressedeither which I appreciated. My favourite thing I had. Crab Cakes: they were alright. It comes with potato salad on top whichprovides a different flavour than one would expect from a crab cake. It wasn't bad but not sure the combo works that welltogether. Tempura Shrimp Cocktail: only came with 3 shrimp. Again, it was good but nothing that special. Each item wasbetween $18-$24. Overall, it was a good experience with good service and a great view/patio. The food is good but not mindblowing. The mains are more expensive around the $45/50 mark. Read more

The service was good. The waiter was friendly and helpful. If you're looking for great food, look elsewhere. The Sirloin Steak... cost $50 and the portion was tiny. It wasn't even very tender or tasty. Avoid the steaks. The pasta was okay but expect babyshrimp and little scallops. The steak comes without any side dishes. So expect to pay extra for things like fries and brusselsprouts. Side dishes were actually the best part of this meal. Food takes around almost an hour too. The view by the lake isnice. Read more

I've read many reviews lately about Spencer's. Some complained of price, service, lack of organisation etc. All these were... NOT the case for my partner and I. We were greeted immediately upon entry, they confirmed our reservation, accommodated ourrequest to sit outside and with a couple of minutes a staff member provided menus, water and a additional greeting. Our serverwas wonderful. They returned to our table multiple times to check on the food and if we needed anything else. To those who areworried about price, the portions were large. We brought the fries home, there were so many. The burger was cooked perfectlyand it was able to be served on a gluten free bun. Parking was crazy, so do give yourself a bit extra time. We parked offBrant in a municipal lot and the walk was 5-10 minutes at most. Overall, I judge how good a restaurant is by whether I go backor not. I definitely will. The dinner was marvelous, view amazing, and atmosphere perfect. Yes Spencer's is more expensivethan some chain roadhouse restaurants, but they can not compete. Read more

Went with a friend. Great ambience and wonderful view. Service was good considering we went at a busy time. Price point is a bit... higher but the food quality was good. The only thing I found lacking was that there weren't many vegetarian/vegan options. Igot the Ricotta Gnocchi and my friend got the NS Lobster Roll. We both liked the food. The apps were Falafel and Flatbread(sweet but not overly). Read more

This place is our new favourite! The views are stunning, ambience is litt and menu is electrifying. The perfect sauce for a good... night with family/friends/clients. Joshua was very kind and made our visit here a memorable one! From the sparkling wine tooysters to steak…everything was great and the service was attentive. The oysters were really fresh and we couldn’t stopordering more, the crab and salmon were good as well. We had ordered some vegan dishes as well which were delicious, theportions were a little small but recipe was good. They carry a good wine selection and Joshua helped us pair the perfectChardonnay. The sprouts cooked in maple syrup were so good!! Read more

Nice restaurant with beautiful views of the waterfront in Burlington. There is not enough parking to accommodate guests of the... restaurant so be prepared to circle around for parking at prime times like 7pm-8pm. The service is super friendly and attentivebut the food was a little bland for my liking. Sides need to be purchased separately. A nice date spot. Read more

This restaurant perfectly combines location, design, service, quality and provides a memorable food experience beyond your... expectations. Over looking lake Ontario the restaurant is bright and contemporary in design. The staff is courteous, friendlyplus highly responsive. The menu is perfectly curated and the food quality exemplary. Spencer's at the Waterfront is a mustvisit! Read more

Lovely place to enjoy a slightly more refined dining experience. Our service was impeccable and overall our food all came out... very tasty. I had ordered the striploin steak and it was cooked exactly as asked, however I will say I found it needed a touchmore salt. If you're deciding on an appetizer, the beef tartare was bomb. Besides that, the views made for a great night out. Read more
