“Great entertainment and fantastic service“

“This restaurant is my number one place. Of all restaurants I know I prefere it most. I always suggests to my friends to go to that place. when I feel like having a decent supper, this is the place that comes instantly to my mind. extremely good and varied food and a rich menu.professional crew, and great ambience. Also important, the cost is decent. I tell about this restaurant with pleasure.“

“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 .“

“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.“

“Food is delicious and the presentation . The staff is great beautiful ambience .“

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

“Dined at Amala's last friday night, they're doing a soft opening while they get everything in place and it's outstanding. The setting is so cool at the water park. The decor is amazing, the chef is a pro and everything is fresh and interesting with a ton of flavor. This is going to be the place to go in Palm Springs.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We have had dinner many times at this lovely restaurant. The friends that were with us last night mentioned that they wished some new offerings would be added to their menu. We would enjoy some specials for some change. We like what is on the menu, but since we have been many times, we would like something new to try. Thank you, Dianna Smith“

“enjoyed a great evening of dining and entertainment.“

“Great evening with friends for a cocktail, server was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic.“

“Wonderful food, great service and beautiful decor.“

“I enjoyed a wonderful experience at Farm in Palm Springs for an early Mother's Day dinner. We had delightful three hour six course dinner in a magical setting with live music and delicious fare. PROS: The hostesses graciously greeted us and sat us a bit earlier than our reservation time. Had a nice table in one of the rooms with a fireplace and a large mirror. The saxophonist played and the sound poured in with great acoustics from the speakers. The amuse bouch had avocado, so I could not eat it, so my mom enjoyed all two. My dad could not eat solid foods due to mouth surgery. The bread course had warm fresh items and silky salty butter. The beet salad, melon salad, and corn soup provided earthy, tart, sweet, and creamy bites and tastes. The varied textures provided a kaleidescope of fresh tastes. The baked brie offered sweet and savory mixes of grilled bread, pear, and date spread! The lemon sorbet palate cleanser provided a balanced experience that did its job. The salmon entree provided an exquisitely pan fried crispy and juicy flaky fillet. The creamy dijon mustard sauce complimented the protein perfectly. The sweet peppers offered a wonderful crunch. The swiss chard added some bitter contrast to the garlic potatoes. The wonderfully bitter Citron crepe provided a nice end to a culinary cruise. Crystal took great photos in the garden. Gilbert was professional and affable. CONS: They asked me so many times for extra drinks. I had to prompt them multiple times to fill the water glasses and refills on tea and diet coke. They charged me full price for mashed potatoes, soup, and sorbet for my dad's meal. I get it. OVERALL: I highly recommend this restaurant for a magical evening meal inspired by Provence, France.“

“We love this place and eat here a few times a week! Its close and convenient and always consistently good! There's a lot of meh cafes in the desert. Same stuff. Same sandwiches, salads, egg dishes, pretty boring fare but this place cranks out DELICIOUS food! And the people who work there are really attentive and NICE! BEST chicken Pozole around! Really good chilaquiles and pancakes! GREAT value!“

“Excelent food and service. Ray was fantastic!!!“

The restaurant is celebrated for its fine dining experience, where every detail is meticulously curated to ensure a memorable visit. The ambiance is luxurious, and the dishes are crafted with premium ingredients, reflecting both culinary artistry and attention to detail.“

“Love the food here-so creative and incredibly tasty!“

“Chef Michael and staff did an outstanding job catering our outdoor celebration. The Mexican buffet spread was unbelievable and all of our guests had rave reviews. 5 stars from beginning to end!“

“I was just invited for my Birthday Afternoon Tea Celebration at this wonderful venue! Everything was perfect..The food, the atmosphere, the staff and Willie himself! The attention to detail was much appreciated. Lovely tea service, the live harp music, beautifully presented food. Our waiter made sure our yummy Vanilla Earl Grey Tea was always refreshed and hot. Highly recommend this cool and elegant restaurant! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“Fabulous dining Lovely Bistro type“

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

“Our 2nd time at Spencer’s, and it certainly won’t be the last. Service is extraordinary, the food exceptional, and the ambiance is wonderful. I highly recommend it. I write for a local paper in Missouri -where I despair of the quality displayed by so many restaurants. No wonder I was eager to get back to Spencer’s on our recent trip to Palm Desert.“

“Keedy’s Diner is the perfect classic breakfast spot in Palm Springs. I ordered eggs with bacon and hash browns, plus a side of pancakes, and everything hit the spot. The eggs were cooked just right, the bacon was crispy and flavorful, and the hash browns had that perfect golden crunch on the outside while staying soft inside.

The pancakes were fluffy, buttery, and easily some of the best I’ve had at a diner — they came out hot and fresh, the kind you can tell are made with care.

On top of the great food, the diner has that old-school charm and welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Service was friendly and fast, and the whole experience felt genuine and classic.

A must-visit in Palm Springs if you’re craving a true diner breakfast done perfectly.“

“Best Vegan organic breakfast in town!“

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

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.“

“Tried the Southwest Wrap with a jalapeño cheddar tortilla. It was fresh and delicious! Love the option of tater tots for my side instead of the usual fries. I look forward to trying a different wrap on my next visit. Yep, so good I’m planning to go back!!“

“Great ambiance and the burger and the salmon salad is good“

“So I was seated immediately. The hostess and waiters were really quick and nice. The cooks were often not at the omelet counter, so people often waited a few minutes. The food was decent. The waffles and French toast were not too good, dry and overseasoned. The rest was good though. For a quick large meal, it was worth it.“

“I was a guest of some members. This place has so much potential that is not being utilized. The food is ok, (same menu as 849). The service is excellent and the setting is charming! With a little time, creativity and investment this could be on the same level as La Vallerius. Alas...it is what it is...“

“Selected this property for a short stay in the desert. I had seen mixed reviews since COVID but my personal experience was very positive. Received an incredibly warm welcome from Luke at the Front Desk. He could not have been more gracious and helpful. He even walked us to our room [#302]. As a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium member I was very grateful that my suite upgrade request had cleared. The room was spacious and well laid out. There was a queen bed and a separate sofabed [no mention of this on the website though]. Two negatives included a lot of noise from the outside street [Indian Canyon Drive is a very busy road] also the bathroom really smelled whenever we took a shower.. the drains clearly need to be cleaned out. Everything else was great though...location is awesome...pools are really nice. One piece of advice...the cost of parking is not worth it...we parked on the surrounding streets. Recommend you do the same.“

“We had an exceptional dinner at SO.PA. Everything was on point. The service was outstanding. Attentive, but not overly so. The food was beautiful, and delicious, from our appetizer to dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection. And the setting is relaxing and romantic. I would highly recommend dinner at So.Pa.“

“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!“

“First timer report: Spencer's is located on a dead end street, at the base of the mountain behind it. To be clear, the restaurant was built right at the base of the mountain, as in “you couldn't get closer” — very dramatic with beautiful lighting in and out of the restaurant. From the moment we walked in to end of our experience, staff service was perfect: every request we made was quickly fulfilled by some very service-oriented people who also worked well as a team. Our server was “Simon,” who was exceptional in his knowledge of food and wine. His timing was perfect, too: he paced the service, beautifully, never rushed, never waiting. What a pro. Now, to the food. When someone says, describing the food, that “everything is good here,” it's usually a stretch. I can say that the food we ordered was just sooo goooood! Example: the crab cakes? Delicate. After commenting that the crab cakes may have been the best I have ever had, Simon shared that they are 100% crab. I will add: 100% crab that you will want to order, again, and again. The beet salad, short ribs and pan-fried fish dishes just continued the joy. Add some cocktails and wine, finish it all with a shared carrot cake—and we left the place knowing some people know what they are doing! BTW: multiple seating areas including many technically outside, but more like a nice dining room with the roof removed. The outside spaces are connected to the inside spaces with glass walls. Also, whether you were inside or outside, most of the dining spaces are relatively intimate. This is nice because you never feel like you're in a large, vacuous space. Also, most of the tables had propane heat. As another example of the high level of service at this place: Staff asked us if the heat setting was comfortable? As another example of the high level of service at this place, staff asked us if the heat level was comfortable. Thanks, Spencer's, for a great night out!“

“Thanksgiving dinner again was exceptional. The greeting on arrival, the incredible menu, amazing service deliver a five star experience every visit. The outdoor dining creates a unique ambiance and if you want the best in fine dining..Jillian's is outstanding.“

“Dear Escena Management I am writing to formally request a refund for the golfing fees paid for my recent visit to Escena golf course on May 4th 2024. Upon booking, I was led to believe, based on the descriptions and images presented on your website, that your course offered premium facilities and conditions. Regrettably, my experience did not meet these expectations. The condition of both the fairways and greens was notably poor and not reflective of the high standard promoted online. Additionally, the level of noise from constant overhead airplane traffic significantly detracted from the experience, further compounded by an exceedingly slow pace of play throughout the day. I have also noticed a number of overly positive reviews on your website and various social media platforms, which seem inconsistent with my experience and potentially misleading to other customers. This disparity raises concerns regarding the authenticity of those reviews and suggests a possible deceptive practice that I believe warrants further investigation. Given these issues, I feel that the quality of the course and the overall experience did not justify the prepayment of $166 per person. Therefore, I kindly request a full refund of the fees paid. I believe this request is reasonable under the circumstances and aligns with fair trading practices. Please let me know how we can facilitate this refund. I am hopeful for a swift resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your prompt response.“

“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 nitro cold brew was delightful.My wife and I weren't happy with the pastries. However, the staff were most friendly and graciously offered me a refund. I am quite satisfied with this, so five stars for good service, good vibes, good coffee!I'll return.“

“Live entertainment. Fun night thus far! 😉“

“Sad I figured out this place had great breakfast so late in my trip. They had me at Waffle Benedict ? The inside dining atmosphere is what you would expect for a hotel restaurant, but outside is way better. The staff is friendly and many of them have been working there for years!“

“Dinner was great as well as service“

“Food and and service outstanding. Was there for dinner last night. Trio has undergone some great changes. I truly recommend it.“

“Went to a 5pm fundraiser. Clearly they let an entire restaurant in early. There was not one seat available at 5. It was already maxed out with people wolfing down appetizers and wine with not one seat open. Not Cool. Clearly the good Ole boys got the we will let you in early memo. Too much competition around El Paseo to ever go back.“

“Had such a lovely experience and our waiter/server Luis was amazing. I was visiting from San Diego and will definitely be back again and maybe try The Edge steakhouse. Though we had rain the view of the clouds was amazing and the food was the best I've had. I had the scallops and they were so delicious my mother had salmon and loved it. Thank you 🙏🏼 also to Marquez for such welcoming smile and greet.“

“This is my fave go to brunch spot in Palm Springs. I’m a little surprised it’s not rated higher! The patio is lovely for ambiance and the service has alway been great. The food is also so delicious. Highly recommend their huevos rancheros!“
