The sales team of a visiting partner firm asked us out to dinner last night. Spencers is inside the Doubletree hotel and advertises itself as a steak and lamb restaurant. It was the wrong place for a friend of mine who is a strict vegetarian. But the staff managed to cook him a plate of pasta which he said was passable. I ordered grilled chicken chops which came with a side order of house salad. The dish when it arrived could serve two; it comprised of two legs of chicken and a huge mound of mashed potato. I thought the chicken was overcooked; I have eaten better for less elsewhere. The wine though was excellent.
Spencers also turned out to be quite an expensive place; no dish was less than $15/- a plate. That didn't deter guests and the place was pretty busy through the evening. The clientele seemed to be mainly business types. The one disagreeable feature was that the place was noisy as hell and that made conversation extremely hard.
All in all I think it is a decent place for a party of four, but if you have a larger group, I'd recommend something quieter.
