Very good service ! Excellent food! Tasty drinks that were visually appealing!! I’ll definitely go back ! Julio The manager greeted us and chatted with us and made us feel so welcome!! Our waiter was Jonathan was very friendly and attentive . This place is a gem and in the perfect location downtown!“

“Great place and awesome service and drinks“

“Disappointed we went for a lost event birthday to include a little food as we ve done before and for whatever reason no food so we wound up having one drink and went elsewhere - you lost 200-300 and I won't be so quick next time to go to TS“

“Absolutely delicious food made with love. Portions are generous and tasty. I highly recommend for the best burgers in town and their amazing specials...you will return after you eat here!!!“

“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!“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“Staff is amazing, food and drinks are delicious, you can bring your fur-babies, you're not sitting on top of each other, the vibe is relaxing with great music playing in the background, but not too loudly. We had a fantastic time!“

“Great experience sitting outside. The waiter walked by every 2 minutes helping and serving other customers so I was able to easily flag him down when I needed something. He was kind and very attentive. I tipped him $20 for a $60 check. Was glad to do it. We'll definitely be back.“

“A unique, elegant sports bar that transitions to a night time, hopping dance spot with great food, Awesome staff and a Family feel. An awesome addition to Palm Canyon.“

“We enjoyed our evening at Bar Cecil so much that we returned the next night! Though we dine out often, it's unusual for us to patronize the same restaurant. However, Bar Cecil was worth the exception to our usual habits, and we had noticed several items on the menu that we still wished to explore, and, having earlier dined on our favorites, we were eager to do some wider exploration of the menu, which we did! Everything was delicious, and now, for our next visit, we'll have even more difficult decisions to make, since our "favorites" list has greatly expanded.“

“What a great anniversary meal! We had the delicious prix fixe menu and everything was top notch, from the bread basket with truffle compound butter to the citron crepe and cranberry crumble desserts. We made a 5:30pm reservation, which is probably necessary on a Saturday night. After we were seated in a lovely courtyard, I noticed a man in Farm chef attire standing next to a large menu board. We talked about the merits of each of the mains and I told him we were most interested in the duck cassoulet and beef bourguignon. Minutes later, after we were enjoying the tasty bread basket and butter, he brought a sample of each of the dishes' sauces to the table! Such attention to detail. Next was a watermelon amuse bouche, so refreshing. We selected the pear and Gorgonzola salad and the beet and arugula salad—both were carefully composed and delicious. We paired our mains with a Caymus cab and it did not disappoint. The duck in the cassoulet was perfectly cooked, tender and juicy. The beef bourguignon was incredibly flavorful and especially great with the cab. Next was a light lemon sorbet pallet cleanser, so delicate and refreshing. We barely had room for the delicious desserts! Service by Justine and the support staff was impeccable. What a memorable evening, we highly recommend Farm.“

“Our new go-to for Italian! Prompt seating with our reservation (5pm) and service. One of the better margaritas my wife has had and my Manhattan was solid. Warm, soft, sliced bread with an olive paste—ate more than I should! Split a generously portioned Caesar: very fresh, shaved parm, and lots of anchovies on the side made it filling. A very tasty, cheesy lasagna was a treat for my wife, and my Tuscan risotto could not have been better—hot, cooked tender, sliced Italian sausage, chicken, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. Enough to take home for lunch the next day! Mario was very attentive and personable, and fun to hear about his expertise in local architecture. We’ll be back!“

“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert“

“Tommy Bahama never disappoints! Everyone was super friendly from the moment we arrived. We sat on the patio and were served by Bailey — she was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious as always and totally met our expectations. Such a great evening at Tommy Bahama!“

“Really nice place for breakfast just off El Paseo - freshly cooked, good service, and a nice vibe. A real antidote to the major chains!“

“An absolutely wonderful stage with the atmosphere inclusive and beautiful!! Great venue for comedy and an unbelievable staff/hospitality.“

“Every bite was outstanding. Service was spot on (once wine glass had one sip left, was offered another) and table spacing kept conversations private. Could have been a bit more on the plate per the price, everybody's burgers are over $20 now. At least frites are included.“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“We went last night for happy hour and had a delicious charcuterie tray and bottle of wine. The staff is welcoming and the place has a cool vibe. We will definitely return next time we visit.“

“V Wine Lounge & Martini Bar is such a gem!
The vibe is always fun and welcoming. The dates here are to die for, seriously a must try! I also loved the karaoke, it adds such a fun energy to the night. And the lychee martini? So good! Perfectly balanced and refreshing. Between the great drinks, delicious bites, and lively atmosphere, this place never disappoints. Definitely a go-to spot for a fun night out!“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“Excellent vibe, cocktails of the chain and food exquisite 🙌❤️“

“Found out about this restaurant cause it’s listed on the Michelin Guide.

We had a group of 6 on a Saturday morning around 9:30, it was packed! There was a 30 minute wait so we just went shopping while we waited to get a text that our table was ready. They don’t take reservations.

We got seated on the patio. There were a few flies which kind of got annoying as we’re sitting there talking, having to swat them away. I wish they had fly fans to deflect flies away from food. The food though, delicious!! The whole group enjoyed their food. Half of us got the sourdough french toast, the other half got the fall hash. I got the hash and it did not disappoint!

Armando provided amazing service! Overall, we enjoyed our time here.“

“Food was delicious service was great. Very nice meal.“

“We came to Cactus Jacks on a whim. In town for a conference. I had the mahi tacos and my sister had the Ruben. Mahi tacos could have had more flavor but the texture was perfect. My sister devoured her sandwich. We shared a delicious chocolate cake a la mode. We ate so fast we forgot to take pics. Flora was a great attentive server. Will come back again when in town.“

“Went for my mom’s Birthday on the 8th. Super nice staff, I reserved a seat for inside but they tried to move us outside on the patio. I would’ve, if it weren’t so hot. They let us sit inside the bar which was nice. The manager (I assume) was super nice and the hostess was very welcoming.

Also whoever the bartender who was working on the 8th at 7ish is a super cool dude. Food was out very fast and delicious.“

“Had a great time at PS PS AIR BAR with my girlfriends! Their happy hour is great and the atmosphere is unique!“

“The food is always wonderful. I love the Viet wings. It’s a must order on every visit.“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Friendly staff Fantastic fresh sushi Generous portions And a good price for the quality It will be a regular!!“

“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.“

“Fantastic place rented off a really nice owner called Drew who looked after us really well. Facilities we’re great and any staff we met were helpful“

“A perfect intersection of chill/casual meets chic and tasteful, great spot to grab dinner (or breakfast) if you're in Palm Springs. Food is delicious, we loved the Branzino but the plant forward menu as a whole is perfectly curated. Gary and all the other staff are wonderful. Attentive but not overbearing, looked after us so well! Beautiful vibes - would absolutely return again.“

“Stayed here with my husband and had an amazing time! The restaurant is very nice and trendy. The rooms are very clean & modern. Could use some sprucing up of furniture and carpet but overall a great value for the room. Bed was very comfortable. Pool & drinks half the time! Cant go wrong here!“

“Went in for dinner. Lots of tvs everywhere even at the booths. A fun place to hang out with drinks.

The staff was nice and having fun.

Tried out the pickle fries. It was tasty but, the quantity wasn't there.

The entree's was delicious. The Chili is alright if I wasn't full.“

“Please, please, please get the French toast here! The French toast is some of the best French toast I've ever had. BUT my friend had the Christmas enchiladas and we didn't like it at all. I think that that might just be a palate thing so I don't want to talk too much about that. Excellent service also. The lady at the front desk and the waitresses were so so kind and so patient. Wilma and Frieda's is an excellent choice for brunch at Palm Springs. Also, maybe because I was a tourist, it was a bit tricky for me to locate exactly where it was but overall it was a great experience. I'll give a my visit here a very strong 4.5/5.
Please note that this review is from my visit in late September 2024.“

“Very nice service. Super yummy food. We had a great night out.“

“Great service should be tops on their list of reasons to come here. Tracy is the best!“

“This is a great place to relax and watch your favorite sports on the big screens while having a drink and a snack or a meal.
They require $30 minimum spending for every person at the table, though.
You will not be allowed to sit inside the sports bar area without buying food or drinks.
The food was decent, and prices were fair.
It’s a little noisy sometimes because the bar is open in the middle of the casino.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options on the menu“

“Drove all the way from menifie out to Palm Desert for this. It was fabulous, cannot wait until the one in Temecula opens.“

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