“We really enjoyed our dining experience at Freddies. The ambience is warm and unpretentious. Upon arrival we were warmly greeted by our server. Shortly thereafter, Freddie emerged from the kitchen to welcome us and then returned to his kitchen to cook us an amazing dinner of elk medallions and escargot. I would highly recommend Freddies to anyone wanting a great French meal.“

“Excellent service. Dining room was pleasant and not too loud. Chairs and table were comfortable. Food was really quite average. We were 4 and ordered stroganoff (x2), sampler and roasted veal special. We tried the cabbage salad and lentil soup. The only memorable item was the lentil soup. There aren’t many options in Palm Springs for really good food and this isn’t one of them.“
“We had a large family dinner here, 9 people total.including kids. The service was excellent, our server made the night more special with his special attention and friendly humor throughout. The food was top notch, all the pastas and main plates were delicious. We would definitely go here again. The overall ambience is special and needs to be seen.“
“Always a treat in Palm Springs! The service is great from the valet on. Love the food and great cocktails. The service is excellent, coincidentally, we often have the same waiter which means their staff isn't turning over all the time, so they are very experienced and knowledgeable. Highly recommend“
“Whatever Starbucks is putting into their matcha latte is causing inflammation. Either I'm allergic to the oat milk they use or the matcha tea powder mix ... or both ... so I'm finding alternatives. Sotto Voce in palm Desert has been on my radar for quite some time. Their matcha lattes are excellent quality and they don't just automatically dump vanilla syrup in it like Varraco and others do .... So they're definitely more than a cut above the rest. I put a little tiny bit of cane syrup in mine & it was perfect. This store is a bit of a challenge to get to as you have to walk through the whole mall to get to it. But the palm desert garden malls is a beautiful mall as it is open air and I could use a walk in the morning Have a Good Day“
“This was one of the best dinners I have had in many years. I came with my family and we ordered a few pizzas and lamb chops. EveryThing was delicious and I would recommend this restaurant. Also, we ordered a fried banana split and was one of the best desserts I have ever had.“
“It's the best restaurant in El Paseo. The food is fresh and tasty. Our waitress, the one with a pretty makeup, did a great job on the suggestions. We got Chicken Screws, Empanadas, Ahi, and beet salad.The blond girl did check on our table often. On Saturday night at 6 pm, there wasn't a single empty chair available. This place is doing really well.“
“We loved this lounge in Downtown Palm Springs. We liked it so much, we went two nights in a row, once for karaoke in the next night for live music. We would’ve went three nights in a row, but the third night there was nothing planned, so we went elsewhere for a little entertainment. But we did enjoy the two times that we went.“
“This restaurant is a long time favorite of locals, and you will get a well executed meal, a ginormous martini and a fairly priced bottle of wine served by friendly staff. When I go to the desert, this is the place I love to catch up with friends. The menu has standards, but also seasonal rotations and the lemon cake the other night was amazing!“

“Tastings: $20/person (waived with any 2 bottles purchased/person). Wines by the Glass $17 Return visit and had another fantastic time. They were tasting four of their latest releases, with a revisit of your favorite pour. We tried the '19 Grenache, '20 Syrah, '19 El Capitan red blend (47% Cab Sauv, 30% Mourvedre, & 23% Syrah), and '19 Petite Sirah. We also got a special pour of their '19 Cabernet Sauvignon, which we really enjoyed. Last time we visited, they offered us an advanced taste of their 50/50 Grenache/Roussanne which we really enjoyed. Unfortunately, they were already sold out and missed out on picking up bottles. They continue to age their wines for 2 years in neutral oak barrels, and I would say that their reds are medium bodied and quite smooth. In the end, we took home bottles of the El Capitan and Cab Sauv. I highly recommend that you stop and visit this cozy wine tasting room in the heart of La Plaza, in downtown Palm Springs. Mark & Ian (owners/winemakers) are fantastic hosts and darn good winemakers. Cheers!“
“My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at Zin on a recent visit to Palm Springs. The food was amazing! My husband had the rack of lamb which was cooked to perfection served with potato croquettes.i had the braised short ribs served over mashed potato’s and green beans. Both meals were fantastic. We were pleased to meet the co-owners of Zin, Jason and Mindy during our visit! Great wine list and a choice of non alcoholic beers.“
“Fresh farm to table fare with attentive service and good ol' fashion classics filling the room (and I mean REAL classics as in Sinatra and Armstrong)! Upon arrival the staff effortlessly brings you their gigantic menu which is ever changing to keep up with the seasonal ingredients. We ordered the duck charcuterie board. The fresh baked bread served alongside is reminiscent of North Italia with a nice crunch and brush of olive oil. The duck prosciutto was cut thick, salami tasty and kumquat Jam preserve just the perfect balance. Other tastings included the grilled dates and flatbread. For our entrees, we ordered the tenderloin (cooked to perfection and seriously melts in your mouth) and lamb shank. Both were served with creamy mash potatoes and grilled veggies for a healthy side. Our waiter Alejandra was lovely(!) and so knowledgeable about the offerings for evening. She truly takes pride in her job. Francisco provided top notch service, keeping our glasses full and quickly whisking away our dirty plates. MVP of the evening was Daniel of course and his sous chef who happily labored the evening away to perfect each and every dish from scratch. How do we know? Because we had front row seats to the open kitchen concept and enjoyed every bit of the food magic that unfolded. Love finding these hidden gems where the people that run it truly love what they do. As other reviewers have said, Daniel's isn't just dinner, it's an experience; so, pull up a chair, bring a good friend, enjoy the music and expect to be here for a while. And yes, it's worth it.“
