“If you are looking for a great place for pre-dinner drink or after dinner cordials, this is the spot. The atmosphere is unique when compared to other Palm Springs options. This feels more like a speakeasy in NYC - beautiful interior, dimly lit, amazing drinks. We had four different cocktails over two nights and wanted to have more. Manager and staff were engaging and know their stuff - so feel free to ask questions to ensure you order the drink that's best for you. We will definitely be back on our next visit to Palm Springs. Cheers!“

“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!“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“A unique, elegant sports bar that transitions to a night time, hopping dance spot with great food, Awesome staff and a Family feel. An awesome addition to Palm Canyon.“

“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.“

“We enjoyed our evening at Bar Cecil so much that we returned the next night! Though we dine out often, it's unusual for us to patronize the same restaurant. However, Bar Cecil was worth the exception to our usual habits, and we had noticed several items on the menu that we still wished to explore, and, having earlier dined on our favorites, we were eager to do some wider exploration of the menu, which we did! Everything was delicious, and now, for our next visit, we'll have even more difficult decisions to make, since our "favorites" list has greatly expanded.“

“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.“

“Our new go-to for Italian! Prompt seating with our reservation (5pm) and service. One of the better margaritas my wife has had and my Manhattan was solid. Warm, soft, sliced bread with an olive paste—ate more than I should! Split a generously portioned Caesar: very fresh, shaved parm, and lots of anchovies on the side made it filling. A very tasty, cheesy lasagna was a treat for my wife, and my Tuscan risotto could not have been better—hot, cooked tender, sliced Italian sausage, chicken, artichoke hearts and kalamata olives. Enough to take home for lunch the next day! Mario was very attentive and personable, and fun to hear about his expertise in local architecture. We’ll be back!“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“An absolutely wonderful stage with the atmosphere inclusive and beautiful!! Great venue for comedy and an unbelievable staff/hospitality.“

“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.“

“I can't say enough about the vibe, people, space, and staff. The staff are wonderful, they won me over because a friend accidentally knocked over my martini that I literally had two sips from it. This happened right near the bar and the bar tender who made my the original martini saw this and started making me another and when I went to pay she said no. That is really amazing. And the other bartender was so nice as well. We were there because a friend reserved the back part for a party and it was the perfect space. There were about 30 people and had food catered in, such a great time. Was my first time and looking forward to going back.“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

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

“Found out about this restaurant cause it’s listed on the Michelin Guide.

We had a group of 6 on a Saturday morning around 9:30, it was packed! There was a 30 minute wait so we just went shopping while we waited to get a text that our table was ready. They don’t take reservations.

We got seated on the patio. There were a few flies which kind of got annoying as we’re sitting there talking, having to swat them away. I wish they had fly fans to deflect flies away from food. The food though, delicious!! The whole group enjoyed their food. Half of us got the sourdough french toast, the other half got the fall hash. I got the hash and it did not disappoint!

Armando provided amazing service! Overall, we enjoyed our time here.“

“Food was delicious service was great. Very nice meal.“

“The food is always wonderful. I love the Viet wings. It’s a must order on every visit.“

“Had a great time at PS PS AIR BAR with my girlfriends! Their happy hour is great and the atmosphere is unique!“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“This is one of the coolest bars anywhere. No signs. Just a heavy dark curtain covers the entrance from the adjoining steak house. Exceptional boutique cocktail bar. Wonderful libations and super service.“

“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.“

“Stayed here with my husband and had an amazing time! The restaurant is very nice and trendy. The rooms are very clean & modern. Could use some sprucing up of furniture and carpet but overall a great value for the room. Bed was very comfortable. Pool & drinks half the time! Cant go wrong here!“

“Please, please, please get the French toast here! The French toast is some of the best French toast I've ever had. BUT my friend had the Christmas enchiladas and we didn't like it at all. I think that that might just be a palate thing so I don't want to talk too much about that. Excellent service also. The lady at the front desk and the waitresses were so so kind and so patient. Wilma and Frieda's is an excellent choice for brunch at Palm Springs. Also, maybe because I was a tourist, it was a bit tricky for me to locate exactly where it was but overall it was a great experience. I'll give a my visit here a very strong 4.5/5.
Please note that this review is from my visit in late September 2024.“

“Very nice service. Super yummy food. We had a great night out.“

“This is a great place to relax and watch your favorite sports on the big screens while having a drink and a snack or a meal.
They require $30 minimum spending for every person at the table, though.
You will not be allowed to sit inside the sports bar area without buying food or drinks.
The food was decent, and prices were fair.
It’s a little noisy sometimes because the bar is open in the middle of the casino.

Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian options on the menu“

“Good food with good drink options and great area to hang out and mingle with friends and love ones. 10/10“

“Great. Food love the drink.“

“Great drinks, great food, fun place!“

“Our server, John, was both charming and helpful. It was a quiet night without too many folks at the bar/restaurant. The steak and chimichurri were delicious. The fries were good, if rather pedestrian (I would have preferred shoestring frites). The Cobb Salad was of a modest size, but good.“

“Wonderful Food and Service. Everything was Outstanding !“

“😀The food was excellent. Spicy Meatballs, Tutto Carne pizza and of course our server Zach. Great place for dining. Highly recommend and we will return.“

“We booked a table through Eventbrite for the drag brunch. The promoter is “Andy Santiago Presents.” The staff and the show were amazing! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a quality drag show. The staff was super friendly, accommodating and made our group’s experience 5 stars. Thank you for a great time!“

“Just love the vibe, the food, the swanky cocktails and the service. Thank you for a fun experience and the Bear behind the bar 🐻“
