Our server, Chris, gave us some excellent recommendations and was a wonderful server! The live music is the cherry on top!“

“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!“

“I love a speakeasy that actually commits to being a speakeasy. The entrance is very unassuming, the vibes on the inside were really cool (a little loud though), and the drinks were made with care. The one I got was described to be similar to a gimlet on the menu (I don’t remember the name of it), it was really delicious.“

“We were seated promptly upon arrival. The staff were very polite and friendly. Every one of them was truly intent on making sure that our visit to the restaurant was a memorable one. After we placed our order, our dinner arrived and was cooked to perfection! We chose seafood and it was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. Our servers ensured that we were pleased with our dinner selection. Upon our departure, we were thanked for our patronage. It's always a pleasure to dine at Sammy G's Tuscan Grill. They are a class act!!!“

“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“

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

“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!“

“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 miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .“

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

“very yummy and great service!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“Great sports vibe, massive space, and incredible food! 🍺🍔
Watched the games on their huge screens and tried some awesome food:
Mozzarella Balls with Hot Cheetos: Cheesy, crunchy, with a cool zest of lime!
Chipotle Tuna Melt & Caesar Salad: Absolutely phenomenal combo.
Washed it down with an ice-cold NA Heineken.
It was a super busy day so service was a little slow, but the food and environment made up for it!“

“High Moon was a fantastic breakfast stop and such a cute little place inside a hotel. It has a charming, relaxed feel that makes it worth going out of your way for, whether you're stopping in for cocktails, brunch, or a meal. I ordered the patty melt breakfast sandwich and asked for the bread on the side because I like it deconstructed — and they actually deconstructed the whole thing for me, which was such a thoughtful touch. The hearty eggs and sides breakfast was perfect too, with generous portions and great flavor. But the real highlight was the thyme Bloody Mary. We love trying Bloody Marys and are always on the hunt for the best one, and this one definitely made it to the top of our list. We would absolutely recommend making time for High Moon! 🍳🍅✨“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Dinner was great as well as service“

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