    We had to try The Spence just because we love all the restaurants at The Gleneagles Hotel, parent resort to the Townhouse, so we thought the quality will be equally good and it did not disappoint at all! The staff was super friendly, the services was amazing, our waiter was very attentive and readily available when needed. The food was just amazing! Very fresh ingredients and very flavourful, I absolutely loved the butter than came with the bread, it tasted like heaven! We loved every bite of our food, we also loved the jalapeño pure some of the oysters came with. The cheese and dessert trolly was awesome, we don’t eat sweets so we went for the cheese platter, and you have to order a glass of port, I loved how the bring the big bottle and pour it right at the table, we thought it was a small pour but the sommelier did top it up a bit more as requested. We ended our dinner date with a cocktail at their beautiful bar. Definitely an absolutely wonderful experience. You have to take time to observe and appreciate the gorgeous ceiling in the restaurant, absolutely stunning!

    One of the best restaurants and restaurant experiences I have ever encountered. The ambiance when you enter is amazing. So much grandeur. The service is superb, very friendly and knowledgable. The cocktails were delicious and the food was incredible. Plenty of gluten free options and delicious ones too. Must go when in Edinburgh

    Afternoon Tea was superb! My first time in Scotland and first time and The Spence and I was blown away! Beautiful decor, amazing tea and even better service from Jess and Sasha who made the experience a 10/10 🥰 I loved it so much I’m lost for words which may be unhelpful but honestly you just have to go. Treat your day with a visit and be as happy as I am right now! So glad I had the extras too to take my Afternoon Tea to the next level.
