“We were visiting from out of town and looking for a great breakfast spot on our way out of town the last morning. Wow did we get lucky finding this place. We beat the Sunday rush so sat right down and the service was wonderful. Food was amazing and everyone was happy. We had pancakes, biscuits and gravy, ham steak (gigantic - split this), Country Breakfast and Pancake Sandwich! Everything was just excellent and we'll be back next time for sure.“

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“​❤️​ Had an amazing dinner at Twenty6 last Friday night. I was able to get a sneak peak taste of their upcoming fall/winter appetizer. The burrata, olive tapenade, salami and chorizo was absolutely amazing. The taste was outstanding and the presentation was beautiful! After devouring the appetizer, my friend and I decided to split the Chicken Milanese. It was such a great choice. The entree was light and had such a brightness to the taste. Typically, I don't order fried dishes and do not like arugula, however, I was intrigued by the description. All the flavors came together to complement the dish perfectly. I honestly loved the pepper taste of arugula combined with the fresh bright taste of the tomatoes, bell peppers, and lemon vinaigrette. Overall, the dinner was delicious. Our server Hilario, was also fabulous! He was quick, efficient but not overly intrusive. We had a wonderful experience at Twenty6 and will return soon.“

“Tommy Bahama never disappoints! Everyone was super friendly from the moment we arrived. We sat on the patio and were served by Bailey — she was so sweet, friendly, and helpful. The food was delicious as always and totally met our expectations. Such a great evening at Tommy Bahama!“

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

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!“

“We really enjoyed our lunch here.
The food was excellent and was served quickly. Service was good and friendly.
We especially liked that there were multiple vegetarian options on the menu. They had indoor and outdoor seating available.
Beer and wine are available.
We will definitely return here sometime and we will recommend it to our friends.

“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!“

“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.“

“I love the POM it never disappoints me“

“It would be wonderful if they could get rid of all the flies. Food was good, service was good but those annoying flies, yikes🪰🪰.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Dinner was great as well as service“

“A Friendly Place With Good Customer Service and everything made fresh 💯👌😋“

“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! ----- ----- -----“

“Amazing experience even though we thoroughly embarrassed ourselves while we were there. So grateful to Mike and his team for their next level superior service, delicious food, incredible empathy and generosity. Thank you! We will be back with much more to contribute the next time. :). Thank you to the entire lovely team here.“

“David was awesome! -1st time visit. Prime rib was grade A+!!

Happy hour and menu selections are fantastic. Calamari is well seasoned and fried to perfection. My mom loved the fresh fish and chips... Fries are fantastic. Dad's Cubano with the pulled pork is off the hook.

Great job spotlight 29!! Keep it up. Well be back ASAP. Thanks again!

==========
Back again and again! We love it here! Ryan was excellent! His attention to detail. And friendly, caring service are A+!!

The fried chicken 🍗 is awesome too!

Thanks again! See you soon, Eric.“

“It's a hotel restaurant so I don't think it should compare it to other high end places, but given that we thought the food was good although certainly a bit on the expensive side. Being family friendly with kids meals at a family resort makes it a decent balance of nice steaks and entrees that your kids can also eat at and not feel like it's too fancy.“

“A combined birthday celebration and a 50th wedding anniversary. This was a big night out for the four of us, and it was a wonderful evening. Initially there was some confusion with the address and GPS because there are so many places called “Indian Wells”. And the building that IW Live is in looks like a private condo building. Perhaps when it was called Frank’s Place there wasn’t this confusion! Food and service was outstanding and we found the prices reflected the quality. The entertainment started promptly at 6pm. Marc Antonelli and Maureen MacDonald (a lovely Canadian singer!). There are two sets to their program. We wish we could have stayed for the second set, because the set list would have been more to our liking — more celebration music, rather than somber Classic (opera) music and a sad song to commemorate 9 / 11. The Prayer, by Carole Bayer Sager. But the singers have wonderful vocals!
To top the evening off, the staff presented our table with beautiful desserts, one for the birthday, one for the anniversary! Thank you!“
