Chez Spencer ce soir


Since I have now been to Chez Spencer 3 times, it is about time I put down some finely chosen words about this legendary city joint. This round was a dinner with the boys. Hidden from the street next to neighbouring and better known Nihon, Chez Spencer lures you in through its herb and flower garden into the high ceilinged inner sanctum. Laurent and Erin opened the restaurant in 2002 and named it after their son. Since the doors opened they have delighted diners with well crafted French fare and exceptional, mostly French service.

For starters go for the Green Asparagus and / or the Scallops and heart of palm salad. I prefer "and" as opposed to "or", the scallops are too good to miss. Main course in my book needs to be the Fillet Mignon. Other popular dishes are the Risotto and the Rack of Lamb. You think you will be able to walk away without dessert but its really not recommended or possible. Go chocolate or profiteroles. Chez Spencer will leave you very satisfied time and time again. Don't over indulge, use as a special occasion night out and make sure you spread the word - Chez Spencer is an SF classic.
