New American Restaurants in Palm Springs, CA

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful food, great service and beautiful decor.“

“Great evening with friends for a cocktail, server was amazing and the atmosphere was fantastic.“

“We had an exceptional dinner at SO.PA. Everything was on point. The service was outstanding. Attentive, but not overly so. The food was beautiful, and delicious, from our appetizer to dessert. Everything was cooked to perfection. And the setting is relaxing and romantic. I would highly recommend dinner at So.Pa.“

“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!“

“Excellent menu. I had avocado toast and the balsamic dressing was mind blowing, sooo good. Friends had the salad with strawberries and nuts and loved it. Service was quick, but I think our server was unhappy that day, didn’t offer a ton of smiles or warm conversation. I will definitely go back. Fries were also delicious and crispy.“

“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.“

“Five days at the Parker, five days of fabulous breakfasts and superb service. Food is divinely decadent, if you like that sort of thing (we did!). Though of course healthy options are available, we splashed out for all the deliciousness a birthday vacation calls for. Service? All around the Parker: Unfailingly kind and accomodating, friendly, and helpful. At Norma’s, calling out Laura in particular for the most thoughtful touches, and extremely personable demeanor—and her colleagues also deserve a shout out. Well done, Norma’s. Well done, Laura.“

“Wonderful Food and Service. Everything was Outstanding !“

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine“

“Food is delicious and the presentation . The staff is great beautiful ambience .“

“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.“

“Our first dining experience at Farm. It was spectacular in every way. The food and service were both exceptional. The filet was excellent quality and cooked as ordered. The halibut was also very tasty. Farm is also an excellent value with their reasonably priced pre fix menu. We will definitely be back on our next Palm Springs trip!“

“enjoyed a great evening of dining and entertainment.“

“I enjoyed a wonderful experience at Farm in Palm Springs for an early Mother's Day dinner. We had delightful three hour six course dinner in a magical setting with live music and delicious fare. PROS: The hostesses graciously greeted us and sat us a bit earlier than our reservation time. Had a nice table in one of the rooms with a fireplace and a large mirror. The saxophonist played and the sound poured in with great acoustics from the speakers. The amuse bouch had avocado, so I could not eat it, so my mom enjoyed all two. My dad could not eat solid foods due to mouth surgery. The bread course had warm fresh items and silky salty butter. The beet salad, melon salad, and corn soup provided earthy, tart, sweet, and creamy bites and tastes. The varied textures provided a kaleidescope of fresh tastes. The baked brie offered sweet and savory mixes of grilled bread, pear, and date spread! The lemon sorbet palate cleanser provided a balanced experience that did its job. The salmon entree provided an exquisitely pan fried crispy and juicy flaky fillet. The creamy dijon mustard sauce complimented the protein perfectly. The sweet peppers offered a wonderful crunch. The swiss chard added some bitter contrast to the garlic potatoes. The wonderfully bitter Citron crepe provided a nice end to a culinary cruise. Crystal took great photos in the garden. Gilbert was professional and affable. CONS: They asked me so many times for extra drinks. I had to prompt them multiple times to fill the water glasses and refills on tea and diet coke. They charged me full price for mashed potatoes, soup, and sorbet for my dad's meal. I get it. OVERALL: I highly recommend this restaurant for a magical evening meal inspired by Provence, France.“

“Fabulous highly recommend.“

“Dear Escena Management I am writing to formally request a refund for the golfing fees paid for my recent visit to Escena golf course on May 4th 2024. Upon booking, I was led to believe, based on the descriptions and images presented on your website, that your course offered premium facilities and conditions. Regrettably, my experience did not meet these expectations. The condition of both the fairways and greens was notably poor and not reflective of the high standard promoted online. Additionally, the level of noise from constant overhead airplane traffic significantly detracted from the experience, further compounded by an exceedingly slow pace of play throughout the day. I have also noticed a number of overly positive reviews on your website and various social media platforms, which seem inconsistent with my experience and potentially misleading to other customers. This disparity raises concerns regarding the authenticity of those reviews and suggests a possible deceptive practice that I believe warrants further investigation. Given these issues, I feel that the quality of the course and the overall experience did not justify the prepayment of $166 per person. Therefore, I kindly request a full refund of the fees paid. I believe this request is reasonable under the circumstances and aligns with fair trading practices. Please let me know how we can facilitate this refund. I am hopeful for a swift resolution to this matter. Thank you for your attention to this request. I look forward to your prompt response.“

“Love the food here-so creative and incredibly tasty!“

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

“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.“

“Best Vegan organic breakfast in town!“

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.“

“So I was seated immediately. The hostess and waiters were really quick and nice. The cooks were often not at the omelet counter, so people often waited a few minutes. The food was decent. The waffles and French toast were not too good, dry and overseasoned. The rest was good though. For a quick large meal, it was worth it.“

“I was a guest of some members. This place has so much potential that is not being utilized. The food is ok, (same menu as 849). The service is excellent and the setting is charming! With a little time, creativity and investment this could be on the same level as La Vallerius. Alas...it is what it is...“

“Spencer's is always a solid go to, but this time our server was extremely intentive. I wish I would've gotten her name. I was able to get a Caesar salad with salmon that wasn't on the menu and I asked for a medium rare and it came perfectly cooked when does that ever happen“

“Selected this property for a short stay in the desert. I had seen mixed reviews since COVID but my personal experience was very positive. Received an incredibly warm welcome from Luke at the Front Desk. He could not have been more gracious and helpful. He even walked us to our room [#302]. As a Marriott Bonvoy Titanium member I was very grateful that my suite upgrade request had cleared. The room was spacious and well laid out. There was a queen bed and a separate sofabed [no mention of this on the website though]. Two negatives included a lot of noise from the outside street [Indian Canyon Drive is a very busy road] also the bathroom really smelled whenever we took a shower.. the drains clearly need to be cleaned out. Everything else was great though...location is awesome...pools are really nice. One piece of advice...the cost of parking is not worth it...we parked on the surrounding streets. Recommend you do the same.“

“The nitro cold brew was delightful.My wife and I weren't happy with the pastries. However, the staff were most friendly and graciously offered me a refund. I am quite satisfied with this, so five stars for good service, good vibes, good coffee!I'll return.“

“Live entertainment. Fun night thus far! 😉“

“Sad I figured out this place had great breakfast so late in my trip. They had me at Waffle Benedict ? The inside dining atmosphere is what you would expect for a hotel restaurant, but outside is way better. The staff is friendly and many of them have been working there for years!“

“Very good lunch. We had the conn salad. Fresh“

“Food and and service outstanding. Was there for dinner last night. Trio has undergone some great changes. I truly recommend it.“

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

“We love coming to this restaurant with are grandchildren. The view is spectacular, the food is the best, but what makes it even better is the service. Our server Wendy was the best; she made the whole experience so enjoyable. Thank you to everyone.“

“Had a great experience. Service and food were very good and the entertainment was terrific - Back Beats was the duo. Great music!“
