  I really hate to give them 2 stars. but our dinner was planned to be the greatest. we were celebrating our christmas dinner from our office. the appetizers took 40 min. and what to say about the main course. it took them 1:30 hours. yea ONE HOUR AND A HALF. wow! my boss's plate was cold. they kindly got it redone. I was expecting really more from this place. I was expecting to be delighted with all the good comments and all the good experiences everyone is talking about this place. They give us a dessert as courtesy for being waiting so long. the dessert was amazing. the waitress was very polite very professional. He apologized to us and everything. but.. for a dinner that all of us were waiting for a year.. we would have liked enjoy it more.

  I live right around the corner from Spencer's. The location and view is what makes Spencer's special. The newly designed interior and private event room are both nice. The food is good and staff friendly, but I also find it over-priced. It's good for special occasions, but often the expectations are then too high for what you actually receive.

  Professional service. Food was great. Drinks are delicious. Came here all the way from Toronto just to eat at this place.
  
  As always. Pictures of the washroom. Looks clean. Reflects on the condition of the restaurant.
  
  Came here for brunch. Just make sure you do reservation and don't come too early. You will need to pay for parking before 4pm. Max is 3 hours. At the moment of this review it's 5.25 for 3 hours.
  
  The surrounding is very nice. You can take a walk around the water front before or after.

  I'd give 3 stars for how good the food tasted; and 5 stars for the waterfront view and the service; so 4 stars it is.
  
  For an appetizer, we had Malt Glazed Pork Belly, which was flavourful and succulent, but more than half of the piece was fat so if you don't like eating fat, I'd avoid this dish.
  
  I got BC Halibut and it was really good except for the mixture of treviso and green onions, which were hard to chew and too "healthy tasting."
  
  When I made the reservation I told them we were here for a special occasion and they brought us a piece of salty and sweet chocolate cake with caramel drizzles at the end of our meal. Isn't that wonderful. Five star service! Do tell them if you are here to celebrate a special occasion. The server was attentive and professional; overall we had a great dining experience.
  
  Parking is available next to the restaurant and there are beautiful parks and a pier you can walk up to for a stroll after a meal. It may be quite a drive if you're travelling from outside Burlington but the place is perfect for date nights, special occasions, wedding receptions or even business events. The restaurant seems very popular; it was packed even on a cloudy day. After skimming other yelpers' reviews, I'd try dry-aged steaks and oysters if I'm here again.

  Well, you are definitely paying high prices for the quality of the food. You are paying that much just to be there, and for the scenery. I've been here a couple of times, not because I wanted to be there.
  The ambience is nice, the scenery is nice and the service is pretty good.
