If you’re not a vegetarian, and enjoy indulging from time to time in a juicy, perfectly aged, hand-cut steak or chop, Spencer’s is one place in downtown Spokane where you’ll find just that and more (including vegetarian options). Tucked off the street behind the Doubletree Hotel and the Spokane Convention Center, Spencer’s has been serving up prime views of Riverfront Park and the Spokane River for the past 15 years, along with its menu that runs the gamut when it comes to steakhouse food.

Spencer’s meat entrées — ribeyes, filets, pork chops and more — are all prepared in the restaurant’s 1,600-degree infrared broiler to ensure the prime-cut meats stay juicy and tender. A variety of crisp salads and savory sides pair well with any protein of choice. The restaurant’s fresh seafood offerings are just as diverse, from parmesan-crusted halibut to plank-grilled Columbia River steelhead. Make sure to save room for a decadent dessert, or finish off your meal with a boozy treat from the lounge.

Not sure if this writer actually was at Spencers, as it is IN the Doubletree Hotel. Mar 27, 2013 | Reply to this comment

 

I don´t think this reviewer actually went to Spencer´s. I used to frequest the restaurant and after my three previous tries (one of which was last week) I won´t be dining there again. They have definitely started to cut corners, the most obvious cut is good cooks and quality meat. My steak, the 6 ounce filet mignon, was overcooked but also a bit mealy like it had been frozen and then thawed as it cooked. The drinks were great and the side order of burgundy mushrooms were delicious, but I don´t go to steakhouses for martinis and mushrooms, I go for prime steak - and I don´t think that is what they offer anymore. Sad to see you slip, Spencer´s, you used to be the best. Mar 28, 2013 | Reply to this comment
