We had a great time! The menu is tapas style and wines by the glass come in 3oz or 5oz. We tried 2 different wines per tapa and it was superb! The food and wine here is always excellent! Laura was our server and she was great! We had the bar singing like we were on an American Idol audition…it was fun!

Your beautiful hotel and our time at the amazing Counter Reformation was a highlight of our time in Palm Springs. The young woman at the bar was delightful and we very much enjoyed our warm conversations with her and other guests at the bar. Thank you for a lovely moment of connection, delicious wine, and warm bread! Counter Reformation is a must see destination when in Palm Springs!

Very nice selection of wine, although it is somewhat limited, but they are all good wines. Servers were very friendly and made sure you were well taken care of.
Like others point out this is a wine bar so no spirits other than wine and limited beer. There are no tables. There is simply a bar. The ambiance is wonderful and the theme is carried out well. The bar stools, while attractive leave much to be desired. While visually impactful they seem flimsy and are difficult to maneuver in and out of. The overall setting of Parker is an experience as a one of a kind boutique hotel. You really must take the entire place in. The food was very well done. In true tapas style we ordered five items and were pleased with each one, some more than others, but each enjoyable. We did not peruse the wine selections but a nice Rioja was available so that was my choice. The service was very well established and obviously a major focus of the entire experience at the hotel and Counter Reformation. One suggestion...everything on he menu cannot be "my favorite" and "the best". While it is all very good and this place will be on my return lists for the area it would be good to have an honest assessment as service teams should have their opinions and personal tastes reliably valued but now I'm knit picking.

The ambiance is amazing at CR. The staff at the resort is very welcoming and the restaurant service was on point. Reminder this is a wine bar so beer and wine are only available at this venue on the property. The small plates were delicious and we tried many. It was a great spot for an intimate setting.

Lights too low and music too loud. Food came at a quick pace which made for a very quick experience. Most of the food was good and unique. The menu was more limited than previous visits. The Piri piri chicken was kind of a joke. One leg, cut into three pieces. Even small for tapas. Given it's summer and not “season” $25 for parking, even with $10 comped is ridiculous. Maybe they don't want locals to diner here? The Open Table feature to view your bill was wrong and had the bill for the couple next to us. Not sure when or if we will be back.

Had heard about this place for a long time. Was not what we expected. Very small room, maybe 24 bar stools. Menu claimed plates that were more than an appetizer but less than a meal. Well if you are not a wine drinker, you're outa luck. No beer, no Bloody Mary. Wine that's it. As for menu? I guess for the one per center from out of town they might pretend to be impressed. But $20 for two scallops? Two? Sure they were great but, two? And warm bread served with no butter, no oil, nothing. Hmmm. So, if you are the retentions out of towner, drive up in your Maybach and have at it. Locals, forget it. Staff were more than pleasant, only reason it's not one star.

Hope to come back soon! Came here on a Saturday around 8:15. Not busy at all inside. I liked that the bar is tucked away making it feel like a speakeasy. During my time there, I had a glass of Sangiovese Bianco by La Selva. Absolutely refreshing and I enjoy the different sizes of wine you can get (you pay for the glass size). I also tried the beef tartare 7/10, charred black pepper beef carpaccio 10/10, pork belly beignet 5/10, and oysters 10/10. Presentation was beautiful. The bartenders were also very attentive! Give it a try, may be even fun to stay at this hotel considering how beautifully decorated and relaxing it was.
