| You can always get a satisfying meal at this luxurious, eclectic eatery, located at the base of the mountains and offering breathtaking views. On some days, you may decide you're at the best place in the desert, but the demon of inconsistency ensures that other days you think maybe it's just good. The restaurant changes style as the day wears into evening, with the menu graduating from sophisticated comfort food to a mellifluous mix of classic and slightly more cutting edge (for visitors from more worldly areas). At lunch, try the gazpacho with Maine lobster and, if it's in season, any of the variations of soft shell crab. It's also the perfect time to try one of Spencer's salads. The "traditional Cobb Salad" plays loose enough with tradition to allow for infinite substitutions, including Maine lobster. Lobster is a menu staple in a wide range of dishes, whatever the time of day. In the evening, if you want to tip a toe onto the slightly wilder side, check out one of the dishes marked "ew"---the additions of chef Eric Wadlund. The crispy oysters shouldn't be missed, or try one of the seasonal specials, which combine creativity, comfort and good locavore values. |
