"A James Beard Award-nominated wine bar in Ann Arbor that emphasizes local sourcing and offers a tasting menu." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Spencer has wasted no time in putting its stamp on the local restaurant scene. The small space and casual atmosphere make it easy to miss. However, the commitment to seasonal, micro-local sources, and beautiful presentation has gained national attention. Be sure to dive into the spot’s carefully curated wine list, which gained Spencer a James Beard Award semifinalist nod in 2023 for Outstanding Wine and Beverages." - John Reyes
"Attention to detail and a commitment to the finest ingredients shines at this quaint downtown restaurant, leading the restaurant to national recognition. That dedication also applies to the wine list, where high quality selections from around the world are available in-house and online. (Following summer break, dinner service resumes July 28.)" - John Reyes
"The menu at Spencer changes often, and the food is delicious and complex. It's a treasured neighborhood restaurant with casual but friendly service. It's where I'd choose to go for a rare night off."
"Spencer is offering carryout and delivery options, so customers can enjoy the restaurant’s seasonal menu at home. Ready-to-go and cook-at-home items such as cheese plates, sides, and cookie dough, as well as an wine are available. Call to place a food order or place a wine order online." - John Reyes
