“Sat outside around 9 tonight and had wonderful service. Food was excellent and the cocktails were delicious. Margarita flight was the perfect choice. 10/10 would recommend”
“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.”
“Although Michelin rated and very difficult to reserve, this restaurant has a laid-back casual vibe, a reasonably priced menu, and our server was so friendly and fun, doing a birthday shot with our celebrant and shared stories about celebrities who have eaten in the restaurant. I had the steak frites which was immaculately prepared, and their famous rolls lived up to their reputation.”
“This was such a cute spot. Stopped in for a quiet lunch on Sunday around 2:00 pm. Everywhere on the main drag was so busy and chaotic. The staff was welcoming and polite and food was great! Not too big or heavy for the heat. The interior atmosphere was beautiful too!”

“The staff are friendly and helpful and it’s hard for me to pick a favorite sandwich or entree. That said, they make one of the best frosted brownies here I have ever had. Highly recommend the ziti, too, and the caprese sandwich.”
“I try not to be a creature of habit especially with so many amazing restaurants in the Palm Springs area. This is my 3rd time to the Farm Restaurant and it gets better each time. This place is definitely an escape. Food. Atmosphere. Drinks. As always, great job.”
“A great spot to nosh, have a cocktail, and people watch. Really nice outdoor patio with heaters in the winter, and misters in the summer. The flight of cocktails is a must.”

“The best cocktails around! We started our night here every night! Their old fashioned is so perfect and the sewing machine stamped ice cube is such a cool touch! Bartenders are friendly and polite and the glassware is so sexy! Didn’t have any food but everything that went by looked amazing! Definitely trying a meal next time we are here!”
“I write for a music and coffee blog called Crooners In Coffeeshops, in which I interview local musicians at local coffeeshops. My writeup reflects the positive experience that I encountered at Mon Amour Cafe on our interview date. Do you have an affinity for crepes? Do you like getting a bang for your buck? Well, Westwood’s Mon Amour Cafe offers both and boy will you not be disappointed. Nestled in the heavily populated neighborhood close to UCLA, this build your own crepe shop offers a variety of recipes to fit your mood. Whether you’re looking for something savory, or want to give into your sweet tooth like I was (in which I opted for the Nutella, strawberry, banana and ice cream infused Broxton), vistors of all ages and backgrounds will be able to find something to enjoy. But that’s not the best part! Mon Amour is open late Friday-Sunday, so you have plenty of opportunity to nab yourself a treat after a show at the Regency Village Theater or Geffen Playhouse Theater, a sporting event at the college, or let’s be honest, after a long night of partying.”
“Went here for a last min dinner choice. We had to sit in the bar area. But it worked out well. Our wait staff was awesome and helpful. My husband's filet mignon was delicious. Especially paired with all the toppings it had. The outdoor seating looked nice, but it was too hot out to enjoy for us.”
“I’ve been to this place before the remodel
And now I visited after and was so impressed
Get the bombas and shrimp gamb
I also heard the empanadas take 2 days to make so get those too
All in all a very positive and yummy experience and would highly recommend this spot for tapas, cocktails and shared plates”
“Miros is considered by most to be among the top five best restaurants in Palm Springs and with good reason. The atmosphere is warm and comfortably elegant, service is friendly and impeccable. Cuisine is exceptional with comfort food that is refined and clearly farm to table. Expect an absolutely wonderful dining experience every time. Whether dining in the lovely interior, dining room, or the starlit outdoor patio, service is always gracious and attentive. Special thanks and kudos to Alison behind bar for her omnipresent and delightful smile and exceptional service.”
“Had the most wonderful experience with Freddie. The food, service, and company was outstanding.”

“Amazing dinner! The biscuits might have been the best thing we've eaten all year. All dishes were great though. We sat in the main dining area, which was more casual hotel vibe, whereas the lounge looked more like the darker restaurant vibe. Depends what you want. We'll definitely be back!”
“My wife and I took our kids 12 and 10 while on vacation based off of a recommendation by some of our hotel staff. It was probably the best Italian food I have had from the bottle of wine, the bread, the fried mozzarella, our main courses and dessert. I had the veal special it was so tender and delicious, my wife had the seafood special and the kids had spaghetti everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. Staff were very knowledgeable and service was just as good as the food! I would not say this is a restaurant specifically for kids but they loved it and the staff welcomed the whole family equally. If I lived near there we would be regulars.”

“i usually never review anything but the girls in the morning here were so sweet ? its rare to get good customer service at a mcdonalds because theyre always so busy. But they were literally soooo nice to everyone, greeting, accommodating. Super refreshing to see ?”
“So good. The self service kiosks at this location make it even easier and faster to order without waiting in a line. Everyone is friendly, food is DELICIOUS!! Only "complaint" is the beans are so fresh and hot, you will burn the roof of your mouth if you eat too fast. So slow down and enjoy the del. I also wish that you would bring back the Beyond Meat options, but I love you for your veggie options as it is”
“Very cute spot, creative menu, and good cocktails! The food was overall a bit bland, the sesame cabbage in the burrito intrigued me but was unfortunately a miss and just didn’t fit. My husbands enchiladas were a better choice.”

Takeout Restaurants
“We got food from this place today at lunch- they provide the food to Hair of the Dog pub. Burger and fries- especially good fries and quick service. Also got the Greek salad directly from them and brought to the bar. Excellent- fresh. So we went back to pick up dinner. Chicken shawarma platter and extra hummus and pita, and baklava. All excellent with authentic flavor. We especially loved the rice and the hummus. Highly recommend. Not much seating in the place- good for take-out.”
“A favorite! The ladies are so patient while the boys make all-important donut decisions. I had a nice breakfast sandwich. The atmosphere is fun and friendly and everyone seems like a regular. The staff always says "See you tomorrow!" With good reason. You'll want to go back!”
“I apologize but I have been going to get food at this location ever since they opened. I should have given a review from the start, but I wanted to wait until I truly experienced all of what they have to offer. All I have to say is, AMAZING. Everything from their carnitas tacos to carne asada nachos is the best. I can say I even drink their hot sauce lol. You want food that gives every bang for the buck, you need to go here. They are such wonderful people to deal with, which makes it even better.”
“We decided to get our lunches for our Joshua Tree day trip here. I got the Aspen and wife got the Coachella. Excellent and well-balanced sandwiches. Love that they give a bit of potato salad and a pickle spear. They will also probably give you a sweet sample! The man behind the counter was engaging and made sure the customers were happy. Highly recommend.”
“Couldn’t have asked for a better vendor at our wedding!! My husband and I had Gelato Granucci at our Palm Springs wedding and every single guest fell in love! It was the cutest set up and every guest raved about how great the gelato was and how kind they were during the whole process!! If you are looking for a pop up gelato vendor at your wedding, we highly recommend them! 10/10”
“This is what a California Diner should be. John's is a throwback of years gone by in the most wonderful way. the way it smells, the way it looks- the food, the ordering counter, literally everything. John's is one of the most complete places to eat in Palm Springs”
“I totally enjoyed my recent and a previous dinner occasion at La Perlita. Service was friendly and efficient, from being greeted through departure after enjoying a delicious meal. Portions were just right in size, not too little or too much. I had the pollo asado and was very satisfied.”
“Amazing dinner! The biscuits might have been the best thing we've eaten all year. All dishes were great though. We sat in the main dining area, which was more casual hotel vibe, whereas the lounge looked more like the darker restaurant vibe. Depends what you want. We'll definitely be back!”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“New, streamline facility in northern Palm Springs, which makes it extremely convenient to “fuel up” in the morning before getting on the freeway. At least when I was recently there, it was obviously well staffed, and ample training was occurring for the new baristas. I was in and out quickly s d efficiently.”
“SEE Update at end of post!! Went to this location to get Iced Macha Tea. Out of stock? It's summer, every summer this happens. I don't know what the issue is with product availability, but you are lucky your competition shut down in Coachella Valley. Two locations this week out of Macha Tea? The manager told me he would order more Macha Tea mix immediately, two days later we went by and they had Macha Tea in stock!! Desert Hot Springs location? No Macha Tea in stock a week later.”
“It had been a number of years since I visited Rubio's. I was happy to see that the food was still very good and the only thing is the size of the tacos was the same but sadly not as much shrimp. I did expect a little more considering the price of nearly $10 for the two tacos. But I do know that with inflation and higher costs for wages that restaurants have to do what they can do to survive. I would still recommend Rubio's to anyone that wants a good shrimp taco or a good fish taco in many other options as well
Kid-friendliness: I noticed that there were two high chairs available
Wheelchair accessibility: There was plenty of room for wheelchairs inside and also on the patio would have also been an easy arrival for wheelchairs as it was a large gate open to enter that way”
“I wish I could give this location 10 stars. Every time I go in the vibe is upbeat on point. Caleb is one of the sweetest baristas I have ever met every time I go in. I look for him because he makes my coffee like no one else… You have no idea what this means to me in the morning Caleb, thank you.”
“The guy that work cashier here at jack in the box i do know his name , he is AMAZING !!!

“The best deli sandwiches I have ever had in my entire life. And I am old.”
“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.”

Fine Dining
“If you’re 6ft and taller and rich, these are your people. It’s expensive and that keeps the riff raff out. A bunch of tech execs and a staff that’s trying to be a class above. When will they learn you don’t teach in front of the guest to place silverware down. You started reaching behind me then switched and almost wiped my nose placing my new fork down. But the best was Kelly explaining that Ruinart is famous for its Chardonnay grapes and that’s what drives this rose wine. And then states it’s 55% Pinot Noir. Table settings were nice, but please clean the tree dandruff. And no there’s no misters, so summer early evenings will be warm.”
“I was invited by friends to attend "Ho" for my Birthday. The atmosphere, talented singers and the food were awesome. If you can enjoy the moment and raucous behavior you will have a good time. I will definitely drive from Orange County to enjoy another event in 2024. So much fun!”
“Drinks are on point the views are on point. The food is good but not a lot of options”

Cheap Eats
“We heard great things. We were disappointed, even though the food was fine, everything came ala cart. Shrimp burrito had no sides, not even sour cream or pico. They don’t serve alcohol, so no beer or margaritas, though I hear you can eat outside on the patio at the restaurant next door and she will bring your food over. Just not what we were expecting. The menus are old and just had a note at the bottom that the prices have gone up, but even the check didn’t show actual prices, just a total at the bottom. Won’t likely return.”
“Overall, this is a nice, simple spot to grab coffee. Just a heads up—it looks like the charges show up as the tiki bar next door, so don’t be alarmed like I was. I thought there was fraud on my card, but it turns out it’s the same owner. The coffee taste can vary, but it’s worth giving a try! 15.82 for two coffee is above market and nothing here that warrants the increased price from what I could tell.”
“Ordered the Lox Works and was one of the best Lox Bagels I’ve had in a while. What makes this place special is their dessert bagels like French Toast bagel with Maple cream cheese! This place does get lines out the door partially because they aren’t the fastest at being made. However the quality is worth the wait.”
“This place had a line and had to find out why. There are tons of unique and good flavours of ice cream. They also will convert any ice cream to a milkshake or add 1/3 toppings to your ice cream like Oreo’s, MnM’s. I turned the one I ordered into a milkshake and was so good walking downtown. The place is small and isn’t the fastest but worth the wait.”

“We order pizza from Palermo Pizza as most of the regular Italian restaurants were closed for August here in Palm Springs, CA. Madison and his daughter Sammi were great and the pizza was excellent. We shall be returning and hopefully the restaurant will be back serving inside soon! Thank you Matisse and Sammi for your great service.”
“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.”
“Definitely recommended! They sat us on the patio, and the atmosphere was great. Our servers were really helpful. We followed their recommendations and boy was that a good idea. The appetizer was cooked to perfection and lightly spiced. The dinner was even better. The spicing built upon the appetizer but a bit richer and more complex. Combined with the drinks, it was an exceptional meal. Each element built on the one before it. We’ll done gang, that was a great experience!”
“Want to thank and tip the sweet young server who waited on my friend and I on Sunday September 18 about 4pm. We had 2 glasses of delicious Prosecco that were filled to the top of the glass and he split the hamburger for us. He was great! Our plane suddenly boarded and we hurried and left. We did not leave the tip he deserved. The time on the check should read 5:39 pm. Please give me a number for Santa Rosa Kichen and Spirits so that I can fix this mess.”
