“The environment is AWESOME! Not to mention the music is 🔥🙌DJ LF GETS IT 🔥“

“Mira Bar serves up “Polanco “ Restaurant bites all day !

Located in the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Golf Resort Palm Springs.

We opted for some fresh lighter bites .
Surprisingly vegan friendly & easily modified menu items . I ordered the watermelon salad omit the mozzarella.
Delicious ! I’m an iced tea junkie and the tea here was refreshing .

What stood out here was the service ——- the staff was on it and we had plenty of smiles checking in on us .

Just a warning ..The place stays busy nearly 7days a week .“

“Excellent breakfast and lunch. Not a single item wasn't praised by my party of 5. There, must have been a convention or something lots of people wearing name tags flooded the restaurant right about noon simultaneously. In the span of just a couple minutes all the tables were filled and people were standing and waiting. Everything was good, just be aware, large events can completely saturate the restaurant's availability, In the blink of an eye.“

“We’ve ordered from here several times. This is our go to place for excellent fresh high quality authentic Mexican food. Their chicken mole is outstanding, and the chicken fajitas are delicious. The fresh chips and salsa are top notch, fresh and delicious. I appreciate a full serving with rice and beans with each entree. And fresh tortillas. The price is an excellent value at about $18-$19 for each entree. You certainly get your moneys worth. We had margaritas at the bar. They were fantastic!
We usually pick up and take the food home. The quality is consistent and has always been fresh. Thank you! I highly recommend Taqueria San Miguel!“

“We always have a lovely time and an enjoyable meal at Bar Cecil. We celebrated my husband's birthday this time and had a fantastic meal. The halibut was the best halibut I have had in a while and the pavlova was just the perfect bite to share after dinner.“

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Went here to celebrate my son's graduation from college. We had a fantastic experience. We started off with some appetizers drinks. I had the avocado taco salad. The food was excellent. We all indulged in a mai tai, they were perfect. We can't wait to dine here again. The atmosphere was great, our server was very pleasant. The manager even came over to ask how everything was and asked if we needed anything.“

“FARM is one of our favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. It never disappoints. From the moment you hit the host's stand to the minute you say goodbye you are treated like you are someone special! Our server, Chris, gave us some excellent recommendations and was a wonderful server! The live music is the cherry on top!“

“10 out of 10. For real. Lola was our server and she was fantastic. Both my husband and I had the 8oz filet with the garlic green beans and red mashed potatoes. And the espresso martinis we so yummy! Just wow! Thank you so much for the amazing experience! We will definitely be back and tell all of our SoCal friends, too!“

“We had a wonderful dinner the food and the service was wonderful. However, we made reservations for a birthday celebration and we seated at a very small table in the bar instead of a booth. It would've been nice to know that as neither I don't drink and didn't like being right next to bar while I celebrated my birthday. They asked if we wanted to sit inside or outside we said inside, but didn't assume we will be sitting in the bar. We didn't come for happy hour. We came for a celebratory meal for $150. I would've appreciated being sad at a booth other than that fabulous food and great service.“

“This place is across from Sherman’s tucked away 70s vibe.

First the bar tender James is an amazingly nice guy!

secondly I have not had a better Martini than the ones I have had here!

The espresso Martini was just incredible, so smooth cold and delicious. The raspberry Lemon Drop was the best, not sweet not too tart just perfect. Next was the blueberry Kinsey equally amazing!

These are truly perfectly made drinks! If you’re looking for true martinis this is it!

If’s a fun crowd with nice people, lively music and folks jumping up on the dance floor. Bathrooms are clean. Plenty of parking.“

“Did a search on “best mexican food in the Coachella Valley” and this popped up. So I loaded up the wagon and brought the gang for lunch. Everyone LOVED it. Our server was delightful and the food fantastic! Best carnitas I’ve had in a LONG time. Bonus points for being a location shoot for “A Star Is Born.”“

“Eight Desert Divas dined at Sí Bon Restaurant in Rancho Mirage on Thursday. We were celebrating one of our own lovely Diva's birthday. We made reservations ahead of time (thankfully) because they were VERY busy. It is a popular place. The service was excellent. The menu was great. They offer a summer menu which includes a three course dinner for $32. They also have a happy hour menu. I ordered the meat loaf dinner and it was delicious and plentiful. Others selected steak with fries, tacos, mussels, and a few other items. There were no complaints at all. They even brought out a birthday chocolate mousse with a candle and 8 individual spoons to honor our birthday girl. Our server was wonderful and he gave us separate checks (which we always appreciate). It was definitely a special night and we highly recommend Sí Bon. Be sure to make reservations ahead of time. You won't be disappointed.“

“Outstanding every-time we visit. Great Seafood, pasta, lobster bisque and much more. This is our favorite restaurant in Palm Springs and we recommend it as a definite not to be missed. Nothing fancy here, just great food and a comfortable welcoming environment. Enjoy!“

“Full bar with daily specials for premium spirits. The pre-dinner and post-dinner crowd tends to be over 40. The younger club crowd enjoys the bar after 9 p.m. Friday nights always draw a big crowd of all ages. A line to get in forms around 4 p.m. Takes about 20 minutes to get inside once a line forms. Plenty of special events at night such as guest singers on the weekend and karaoke Sunday to Tuesday after 9 p.m. This is the kind of place where the bartenders get to know you and remember your drinks. In addition to the great vibe, the chandelier over the main bar is decorated for seasonal holidays. Very attractive.“

“Good food with good drink options and great area to hang out and mingle with friends and love ones. 10/10“

“This is one of the coolest bars anywhere. No signs. Just a heavy dark curtain covers the entrance from the adjoining steak house. Exceptional boutique cocktail bar. Wonderful libations and super service.“

“While dining at this venue could be a really nice experience, the fact that the staff would not turn on the fans (or misters) because they might blow out the little table candles was unfortunate. It was so warm, and what could have been a pleasant evening in a cute, covered, outdoor setting was much less so. The food was fine and interesting, but I think that a new manager and staff training would help this venue. The staff (in general) seemed very disinterested in the guests. The Panty has potential, and I'm not happy to write a less than stellar review, but I'm just being honest.“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Drinks are on point the views are on point. The food is good but not a lot of options“

“This place is my all time favorite restaurant to eat in the Coachella Valley. Buzz always has the best recommendations for beer, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is always fresh and tasty. We lived in Palm Desert for about 11 years and every time we’re back in town we make sure to come by here to grab a drink and some snacks. We love getting to see Buzz, he makes it the best place to eat!“

“Great service, great food, our bartender Ilda was amazing! highly recommend“

“Big thank you to our valet Ryan and front desk Darren. Both were very friendly and accommodating. We also loved Robert and Tony at the bar…we were not in the mood for any more alcohol and they made us a lovely mock-tail. Thank you! Can’t wait to come back!“

“We come to the Westin every year for Memorial Day Weekend and have had the pleasure of having Trey + Angel as our bartenders every single year that we go. They are the absolute BEST and we are always so happy to see their friendly faces when we are there. Keep it up guys! Thanks for always giving us top notch service!“

“enjoyed a great evening of dining and entertainment.“

“Beautiful bar, nice view, Pool is nice too“

“Just love the vibe, the food, the swanky cocktails and the service. Thank you for a fun experience and the Bear behind the bar 🐻“

“Concise Review Great poolside food, drinks, & staff ----- Longer Review We have visited Marriott’s Shadow Ridge in Palm Desert since 2002, and afternoons at the pool, with food and drinks from Chuckwalla Bar & Grill, are a bit part of every trip. One of my all time favorite photos is from a nice afternoon, poolside, several years ago when the kids were little... it was one of our most fun and peaceful afternoons as a family anywhere... the photos is of our daughter, asleep on my wonderful wife, my wonderful wife smiling at me, and our son was on the chair in between us, smiling as he was drinking a strawberry smoothie from Chuckwalla’s... such a blessing. We visited Southern California - Palm Desert, Yucaipa, and Malibu - for Spring Break 2021. This trip we had more activities off-property than usual, so we only got one nice long afternoon at the pool, and RebekahM made it a little extra special. The sun, the water, fun in the pool... and smoothies... such a joy. Before I had a chance to think about it, smoothies were en route from Chuckwalla... strawberry, banana, and alcohol-free pina colada. Rebekah delivered them to us with a big smile and infectiously positive attitude. Rebekah turned the fun up a notch with her dancing and smiling and laughing as she took our orders and delivered to the families around the pool... everyone was extra happy when she was around. Thank you, Rebekah and Chuckwalla, for another memorable trip! ----- ----- -----“

“The menu is limited but anything we ordered was delicious! Prices are a little high but no more so than any other resort property. Staff was friendly and fun and they all made excellent drinks. You do have to walk up to order but they will deliver to your poolside chairs.
It can get hectic though, especially at peak pool hours on the week end.
On the downside, the open hours are quite short--opening fairly late for breakfast (9am) and closing early as well (7 pm). Had the hours been longer we would have used them more.“

“5/1/2026
Stopped in for drinks and sushi while at the Marriott. Our serving staff and support were Gerardo, another Veronica, David, Ricky and Jennifer all amazing individuals. We have known Gerardo for years and he a terrific individual. The ambiance was upbeat and positive and the sushi quite good.
I often state that people and relationship far exceed the location or event and here at JW you get the best of both worlds. The music duo was good and the food, service and staff were simply amazing. Highly recommended.

Previous review
What an amazing place to chill, enjoy a few drinks, grab some fresh sushi and listen to live music. Ricky was our server on Saturday night and was very efficient, professional and kind. We have been going to this spot for about 8 years and just thoroughly enjoy the vibe and ambiance. We started with Don Julio Blanco, club soda, 3 limes muddled and mint and then ordered the crunchy roll and jw roll. I also had a ceasar salad. The two entertainers were fantastic and played a wide range of rock and roll and country hits. The customer service and overall experience were simply therapeutic. Highly recommended.“

“My knowledge base is one visit on December 23. I found Tryst to be a fun and inviting place. The barter was attentive. It was a mixed (age, gender) and friendly crowd. I am not aware of a food menu and therefore didn’t rate. To me it was a bit more relaxed than the nearby Arenas venues. I’d come back anytime for a drink and chat with friends. Patrons were laughing and having a good time. The “vibe” was good.“

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

“great music and great food and stuff was really friendly and helpful five stars“

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine“

“It has a great atmosphere and the music is really good. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because the bathrooms were quite dirty — and since it’s a place where a lot of girls go, we definitely expect cleaner restrooms. Other than that, it’s in a great location and it’s a fun spot overall.“

“Great place all around! The food is AWESOME and the atmosphere is top notch. A must if you're in the area!“

“Watched the Budweiser Clydesdale horses and had a fabulous lunch.“

“Great food, nice presentation, attentive service, we’ll be back.“

“DJ KJ Norm absolutely killed it on karaoke night! He kept the energy high all night long, picked up on the crowd’s vibe perfectly, and made sure everyone got their moment in the spotlight. Smooth transitions, great song selection, and just an all-around fun guy to have running the show. If you want a karaoke night that actually feels like a party, request KJ Norm — he won’t disappoint“

“Incredible food and wonderful service“

“😀The food was excellent. Spicy Meatballs, Tutto Carne pizza and of course our server Zach. Great place for dining. Highly recommend and we will return.“

“Good Food, Great Service, Lots of Dishes to Pick From.“

“muy deliciosa comida y un ambiente agradable !!!!!!“

“Food is always good. Cesar salad is seriously the best I have ever had. Carne Asada is surprisingly good at this location.
Staff is always great too. We sit on the bar side almost exclusively so this review is mostly for the bar side. Amber the bar tender is always attentive and on her game.“

“Beautiful atmosphere!! Gorgeous interior and design. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. The drinks and service were great! Fabulous DJ kept the music going and everyone was dancing! There is a lot of space and extra rooms to sit and hang out. There is also a back patio for the smokers. Had a great experience!“

“People from every walk come here. Locals, snow birds, vacationers, and once in a while your Hollywood type…if you care about “star gazing.” Pretty bartenders and strong drinks make a nice combo.🙏🏻“
