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.“

“Absolutely fabulous meal yesterday evening. Every aspect was just right....from being made very welcome on arrival, seated in the outside area which had a lovely feel about it, buzzy but not too loud. Drinks were excellent and the food was exceptional - I would not normally pick a pork chop on a meal out but made an exception and it was a great decision. Both our meals included locally sourced ingredients which is great. Finally as it was my Birthday a lovely little hand written card from the staff which was a lovely touch. Thank you Bar Cecil“

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

“Wonderful food, great service and beautiful decor.“

“Dined here while staying at the Herman Bungalows. The outdoor dining area was very charming and romantic under the trees, lights and stairs. Kelly the GM & Sommelier was fabulous, he recommended some lovely wine and took great care of us. Highly recommend this gem of a spot!“

“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.“

“Lovely restaurant inside of a beautiful hotel. Upscale southwestern with a hint of California retro. Menu is pricey, but the food is good. Large portions and great presentation. Service is friendly and professional. I felt valued and welcome. Upon seating, you are presented with a smoothie aperitif shot. I downgraded a star for the flies in the restaurant. At this price point, I shouldn't have to shoo flies. Sorry, but that's annoying while I'm trying to eat. Other than that, I'd definitely come back. Especially to enjoy their absolutely gorgeous bar“

“Beautiful view! Amazing cuisine“

“Wonderful Food and Service. Everything was Outstanding !“

“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.“

“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.“

“Food was delicious. My friend said the avocado toast was the best she’s had. Seating is limited but we didn’t need to wait to be seated. It was a little confusing to know where to sit but it’s basically first come first serve. Staff was friendly and attentive.“

“Fabulous highly recommend.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Wonderful dinner after the show at the casino.“

“Delicious Romesco Benedict with shrimp and avocado! Nice place inside and out on a lovely shady side street (La Plaza).“

“Best Vegan organic breakfast in town!“

“Live entertainment. Fun night thus far! 😉“

“We have never been disappointed with our meals at Spencer's, and this visit was no exception! We had a fabulous table, loved the specials, and were thrilled to be served by our favorite—Michelle! The lobster gazpacho was divine, followed by a perfectly cooked white fish with asparagus. We ended on a sweet note with their delicious ice cream dessert. From the warm welcome at reception to the final bite of dessert, the entire experience was truly exceptional. Fantastic!!!“

“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...“

“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.“

“If you are staying at the Renaissance and don't want to walk to breakfast, this is the spot. They have a buffet which includes a made-yp-order omelette bar. They also have a menu to order off if you want pancakes or something else for breakfast. Located in the direction of the meeting rooms.“

“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.“

“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!“

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