“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!“

“This place really lives up to the hype. All of the drinks and food we got were really amazing. Standouts were the round of dirty martinis and the pork chop. Our server Ciara was also very attentive and seemed to really enjoy working there. Will definitely be back.“

“Best speakeasy I’ve ever been to. Our bartender Nico was so professional and friendly. Drinks were superb, I recommend the edicion tardia. Went on a weeknight, no wait. Might need a reservation on the weekend. Those one star reviews are BS, this is definitely a high class place.“

“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.“

“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.“

“The Red Barn in Palm Desert is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the decor is stunning--classy, intimate, and reminiscent of a true speakeasy. You can tell the owners were incredibly thoughtful and intentional with every detail of the space, creating an atmosphere that feels both elevated and welcoming.

The music and live DJ set the perfect vibe, and the craft cocktails are quite impressive--clearly made by skilled mixologists. The whole experience feels like stepping into a high-end lounge you'd expect to find in Las Vegas. It honestly reminded me of the sophisticated vibe of the Juliet Cocktail Room at the Venetian Hotel.

If you're looking for a stylish night out with great music and beautifully crafted drinks, The Red Barn is definitely worth checking out.“

“Great Dining Experience and Service at the Sammy's Tuscan Grill. Ordered the Chicken Picatta and House Chardonnay Wine 🍷 and everything was so delicious 😋 Great Job and look forward to eating there again. My Waitress Dyanna was fabulous!“

“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“

“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 .“

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

“Thoroughly enjoyed our experience on Saturday, January 17. Our waitress was Marlene and so truly added to our evening! Kudos to Marlene! Loved the table lighting too“

“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!“

“What a great evening, my finance's birthday. 15 friends and James was the most amazing host. Busy and still extremely attentive. Music added to the evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night. This will be added to our favorite places to entertain friends and business partners. Many Thanks“

“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.“

“What a swanky breakfast spot! Lots of special items on the menu.
Beware the steelcut oats don’t say cinnamon but after preferring I discovered they have “ just a little cinnamon if you’re allergic that’s unexceptionable #allergygirl. They quickly made it right by bringing me my second choice buttermilk, corn pancakes with fresh blueberries. You can’t taste the kernels of corn but they give it a little crunch which I enjoyed. They serve real maple syrup which of course is delicious! I tried two kinds of bacon : regular and turkey. The regular bacon was crispy and the turkey was not but it was tasty. I tried the cheddar biscuit which was savory and perfect with butter.“

“This was our second visit to this restaurant in the last 15 months. I was not impressed the first time but dinner last night was wonderful. I ordered the Italian roasted Chicken and it was beyond delicious shared the Bibb lettuce salad and the crispy potatoes and they were very good. The salad could have used a bit more dressing but was still good, service was perfect . My only negative is that the tables along the wall were a little too close together!“

“We brought guests, one who is gluten free, for our first visit Friday night. The sausage pasta (gluten free) was amazing!! We all shared it as an appetizer and it was actually the favorite of the night. Great wine selection. The bronzino was wonderful and light, outdone though by the veal scallopini. The setting outside was lovely with heaters to make it comfortable. I believe the owners are Brian and Connie (Brian who welcomed us when we arrived and then visited our table). They have created a very warm and welcoming restaurant with elevated Italian food in a very special environment. Their kids I believe can also be found there helping out! Loved it and we’ll be back. Eric & Shannon“

“This restaurant is truly special. Their Thanksgiving spread and service were incredible and we could easily see that they all work as a family not just co workers. They gave my Dad’s girlfriend a wonderful spread of birthday desserts, the whole restaurant sang to her and they even had football going for the Ravens fans next to us! The chef personally came to talk with us and I’d like to give a special shout out to Gina. One of the best servers I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I hope we make it back soon!“

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

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

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

“5 stars! Best breakfast option in Palm Springs. Here’s the best order you can get: 2 date cappuccinos to start with a parfait as an appetizer. Breakfast sandwhich croissant situation as your main. And date pistachio croissant for dessert. We crave this all week long. Can’t go wrong! Great service, too.“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and 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“

“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!“

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

“True to its name, they serve burgers and beers along with quite a big menu they have plenty of options to choose from. Portions are a good size and definitely match the price. Lots of tvs playing anything you can think of along with trivia which my party quite enjoyed. Desert was great.“

“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.“

“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“
