“great dbl cheeseburger and fries. unlike other places they leave you alone while you're eating. unless of course they see you putting ketchup on your burger ( right cory!) been a resident of the desert for 48 years, never been to George's before yesterday. I will be back.“

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

“Come for the casino, stay for some drinks. With over 50 types of agave-based spirits, Agave Caliente Tequila Bar is the perfect destination for tequila and mezcal fans. Their hand-crafted cocktails are paired with a tapas-style menu…our favorite were the short rib tacos.“

“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 .“

“The entire lunch was wonderful!! From the beef enchiladas to the giant Chile verde burrito, and mine the El Pastor tacos!! Yummy I'm stuffed. It was also my Mom's 92nd birthday. The staff brought her a scoop of ice cream with a candle!! Five Stars!!!!!“

“If you're looking for a beautiful change of scenary to enjoying a meal, check out the Mountain View Grill at the Desert Princess Resort. Easy parking, beautiful seating and a peaceful golf course view and not even busy for a Friday morning. The service was friendly and fast. Prices were reasonable and comparable to most medium range places, plus they have Mon thru Thurs specials. Food was fresh and tasty. I had breakfast and look forward to going back for lunch. Note, I had a pecan pancake and WOW! Also, has a full bar menu. Take a friend and enjoy!“

“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.“

“It felt like I had walked into a friend's home—that's how welcomed and cared for I felt while dining here! The hospitality was incredible. The bread service was a 10/10. I seriously wish I could go back RIGHT NOW just for the bread!!! And the Lychee Star?! I honestly don't even need to go into everything else I ordered just know that EVERYTHING was a 10/10. Such an amazing experience, and I can't wait to go back! ❤️“

“Overall, Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar offers a pleasant experience, although it falls a little short of being memorable. The cocktails are decent and well made, but nothing really stands out. The same can be said about the food: good quality and enjoyable, but not something that stays in your mind afterwards. Service, however, was excellent. The staff were friendly, attentive, and contributed positively to the evening. The biggest weakness is definitely the atmosphere. For a bar, the space is much too brightly lit, which takes away from the relaxed and welcoming feeling you would normally expect. A warmer, more intimate lighting concept could make a huge difference. Overall, good, but there is definitely room for improvement.“

“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!“

“Found this place on a quick google search for nearest restaurant, and I was not disappointed! I sat at the bar as a solo diner and knew I was in the right place by the number of regulars at the bar.

Drinks and food were great. I didn’t get a pic of the Heavenly Hibiscus martini, but I highly recommend if you like hibiscus flavor. The ahi salad was fresh and light.

Staff were lovely and attentive.“

“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.“

“Allen at the bar took care of us making is two very well measured and well done cocktails the Tailors Sour & Mazcal speciality based off of what we told him. It’s fantastic here the vibe is elegant and the energy is genuinely fun and happy. The locals make this spot happen and happy to be here and experience this. We shall be back. Thank you“

“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!“

“Best vibes ever. This was our third time here and our favorite to date. Meatballs and empanadas to start. Steak skewers and a divine shrimp and sourdough in an incredible broth for mains. A+ service. Perfectly-sized treat for our birthdays. Can’t recommend this place enough.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“enjoyed a great evening of dining and entertainment.“

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

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

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Neighbors recommended this restaurant so we went to check it out. Service was excellent and so was the food. Good quality and good portions. Their homemade hot sauces delicious!
If you’re in the CV, make a detour here, it’s worth it“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Great service and great food! Every salad on the menu is amazing“

“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.“

“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! ----- ----- -----“

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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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.“

“in the heart of palm springs. Nice Patio and restaurant. Very good food. Nice and friendly server. very friendly owner.“

“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.“

“We were here in Palm Desert for a competition and one of our parents recommended we try this spot. Great margaritas and absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever eaten. I don't remember the name of the dishes we tried but the pin wheel shrimp and the pork Fajitas are just incredible. If you're in Palm Desert you have to try Guillmores!!! Definitely worth the trip“

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

“Incredible energy and mood of the room on Friday night. Everyone cheering and singing along to other people’s songs (with several secret professional singers in the crowd), made a bunch of new friends and had some truly lovely interactions with complete strangers. Was easy to book a reservation over the phone ahead of time and flexible on time of arrival. Thank you for the incredibly memorable and sweet time!! Several of us lost our voices the next day 😅“

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

“Great food, great employees Great with the kids“

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

“I chanced on this place from a person I met at a bar downtown DHS. Looks kinda trashy from the outside but don't judge this book by its cover. The best Karaoke experience I've ever had and I do it a lot. A real stage, stage lighting, smoke machines and friggin A, an actual guitar player who looks like Mick Mars playing along if he knows the song and he seemed to know them all! I sang Black Keys, Deep Purple and The Who so right up his alley. Redd was impressed enough that he bought me a shot after I sang The Seeker, never had a DJ buy me a drink! Both the bartenders were super nice and drinks were really inexpensive so this place freaking rocks. Great crowd too, lots of really friendly locals. And also get this, the place has several pool tables, the longest shuffleboard I've ever seen and dog friendly too!“

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

“Great drinks, great food, fun place!“
