Arnold Palmer's is a lovely restaurant. Outdoor dining is great with heaters available to make the temperature very pleasant. Service was excellent. Outdoor musician playing guitar music was excellent and just the right volume to have a good conversation, but still enjoy the music. Dinner was very good, but a little overpriced. All in all an excellent evening.

Excellent as always. First time eating in the dining room. Cozy and comfortable. Food and service were both top notch. Getting to be our favorite restaurant in the Palm Desert area.

Our server has been at Arnies since opening. He has waited on us for many years. A true pro! The kitchen was on point tonight our, plates were perfection in presentation and all food was hot. All four of us loved our food!

Service was outstanding. Food was also outstanding with the exception that the Filet Mignon was cold when served.

We had a great dinner here. Started with bacon wrapped date, then Caesar salad and then the special which was pork shank. We sat outside with live music playing and the ambience is just fantastic. Our server, Marco, is awesome. He is efficient and a super nice guy.

Beautiful setting. Wonderful music. Great, attentive service. 2 of our 4 meals were great. two were so-so. Always has been great before, hoping this is an anomaly.

Wow! What a great experience, just as we expected Arnie would provide. We ate at several restaurants around Palm Springs but none as memorable as our dinner at Arnold Palmer’s. The food is not only classic, but it’s executed wonderfully and served by an amazing staff. We did a little “family style” so each of us tried several items and no complaints were heard. While eating outside…..at night…in November, which is such a Palm Springs experience, you are beneath a canopy of Palm trees while you listen to a great musician. The experience was a bit surreal and almost felt as if we were in the Mediterranean. The ambiance really made the experience. The staff was excellent. We had a witty, attentive and skilled waiter and overall you could tell that this establishment really operates effectively. The overall vibe was casual excellence. Will definitely return next time we’re in the area.

This was our first visit to AP's. We were initially seated in a back room that didn't have very good acoustics and were seated next to a family with loud kids so we asked to be moved. It was a busy night so it took a little convincing with the hostess and manager to give us a quieter table but they obliged. The rest of the evening was pure enjoyment. Brianna was our server and she was attentive, engaging and kind without being annoying. Our food was delicious, and even though they don't have any French reds on their menu, we found an Italian my husband and I fully enjoyed. The atmosphere was lovely, service - fantastic and food - scrumptious, the perfect combination for a wonderful date night. We will definitely be back and will bring our own bottle of French red wine with us!

The food was outstanding. Our server Frank was one of the best I have ever had. He was personable, honest and knowledgeable. He went out of his way to escort us to the special memorabilia room to take our picture. We didn't even ask for him to do this. First class in an enjoyable and inviting atmosphere. We will be back again for sure.

Our first time back this season! Better than ever! Food and drinks were incredible and service top notch. Due to the inclement weather we did not get to hear Mark play. We will be back soon. We have really missed the Arnold's Experience over the summer!

I recently dined at Arnold Palmer and gave them a solid 4 stars. I would have gone with 5, but my burger came out well-done instead of the medium-well I requested. Our server was excellent, very attentive and genuinely apologetic about the mix-up. The halibut and steak we ordered were extremely delicious, highly recommended. The atmosphere is always great, though the lounge area was extremely loud during our visit, so I'd recommend sitting outdoors or in the main dining room for a more comfortable experience. Arnold Palmer knows how to please their clientele, which is why it remains one of my favorite restaurants in La Quinta. I'll definitely come back anytime.

We come to La Quinta about 6 to 7 weeks a year. Arnold Palmer’s is always on our list of places to eat. Friendly service great food. The outdoor patio is a great place to sit and enjoy the evening and listen to music.
