I usually don’t leave 5stars. Most excellent places are 4, but this place is exceptional. Went there about 1.5 months ago during labors day weekend with my boyfriend and his mom. Was so excited to try for a long time and it did not disappoint me! The presentation is fantastic, the talk they give for you is nice. The food, is of course so good. If you do $75 dinner option the portion is pretty huge, but it could depend on the time and menu, I guess? This is probably the only fine dining restaurant I can recommend to anyone who’d like to have a full experience and amazing dishes for special occasions. - and don’t forget grab some wines their selections are quite interesting even I don’t know much about wines could see how unique each wine is. Excited to visit them again for fall/winter menu!!

Good price, wonderful atmosphere at their patio, friendly and professional staffs, and even good enough small plates! They have a great list of conventional as well as natural wines, and they are all listed with very reasonable price tags. Pick a bottle of natural wine from their retail shop and just go out side for a seat at their patio. This place provides a unique Ann Arbor vibe that everyone would love to enjoy.

Our small party of three had a wonderful dining experience at Spencer. It’s a bit like eating dinner at a friends house if your friends were award-winning chef’s. They do a good job of pairing wine with food here. The flavors of each entrée are bright, and the plating looks marvelous. We booked a reservation in advance, and you should too! It could be a little challenging getting indoor table space here, but we made it. Seating is community-style indoors, so you can keep to yourself with your own party or make friends with the party next to you. We were told that it was early in the season and the outdoor patio service will start soon.

Incredibly creative, fresh, flavorful. they keep up with what’s in season - summer and fall Spencer in particular is not to be missed. Mixes different cuisines (Spanish, Mediterranean, Asian) in a subtle way. Killer cheeses and desserts. The wine selection is unique, and the staff is lovely at helping you to make a good selection. Hard to find many of the natural wines carried here.
While I miss the pre-pandemic ability to pop in and get dinner here, their set seating times and early reservations seems to work for them - and actually feels all the more special for it. They have a very COVID safe policies as well, which is wonderful and makes it a more inclusive experience. And if, like me, you’re a bad planner and have a hard time getting a reservation for the dinner seatings, definitely stop by their weekend wine patio for some amazing bites and wine.

The carryout meal I ordered was so fantastic. We ended up with 4 servings of food so it was well worth the price. The instructions for re-heating were perfect - our food came out perfectly. Not only was the food great, they had recommendations for wine to pair with the meal. We bought a bottle and a slice of cake. Overall, highly satisfied customer here! Will definitely be ordering take out again.

I can’t come to Ann Arbor and not pay a visit to my favorite place in the world. Everything is exquisite. I have no idea what I eat most of the time but I don’t care because it’s all delicious, well made, and VERY flavorful. I wish I could personally invest in this place and bring it back with me to Seattle!

Spencer is one of my favorite restaurants in Ann Arbor because of the delicious food and the unique atmosphere. The menu is constantly changing but everything I've eaten there has been really delicious. You can never go wrong with the cheese board! It is fantastic and the staff gives a great explanation of all the meats, cheeses, pickles, etc. The seating is communal so it can feel a bit squishy if you're not used to that sort of thing.
You order at the counter, leaving open your tab so you can go back for more if you want, and then the food is delivered to your table. The only complaint I had was that the menu is rather vague and it can be difficult to flag someone down to explain dishes. You are also responsible for filling your water glass. This is not the place for someone who wants attentive, traditional service, but it certainly offers a wonderful meal and a lovely dining experience.
