SO.PA Restaurant

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.

Food was totally fantastic. Pricey but worth every cent. Service A+ so friendly. Wonderful experience ~The filet minion was absolutely to die for one of the best meals I’ve ever had

Some of the best food in the desert. And beautiful outdoor dining area for warm (but not too hot) evenings. It's very expensive but if that's not a factor, I highly recommend it.

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!

Rachel was a lovely server. It was not busy that evening so felt romantic. Delicious amuse bouche and bubbly offered to end a memorable vacation evening.

The atmosphere and service were wonderful. However, the food did not live up to the expectations, and the pricing was outrageous especially for not being very pleased with the items we ordered

Amazing food and service. The GM, Kelly was very welcoming and you can tell the restaurant is his passion. Overall, the experience made for a memorable anniversary dinner.

Could not be better. The tree shaded space is elegant, the wait staff are professional and the innovative food is perfectly cooked.

The service, led by Kelly who is one-of-a-kind wonderful, is terrific. Rachel our server was also great. The ambiance is the best in Palm Springs! We are still talking about the octopus appetizer and mushroom entre. This is our favorite restaurant in PS and we dine out nearly every night.

The food was excellent. So was the perfectly matched wine, recommended by our wonderful server Rachel. And it's a gorgeous spot to dine. When we're next in town SoPa will be at the top of our list to revisit.

My wife and I agree with another reviewer that this was a total wow experience. The enchanting amber-lit outdoor setting, the excellent service staff, and the outstanding food and drinks—everything about SO•PA was incredible. We think this is definitely a Michelin star worthy restaurant.

SO•PA provided unique preparations that made each course delightfully inventive and super delicious.

The menu changes from time to time, but I loved the rack of lamb - a generous serving with a wonderful mustard herb crust, accompanied by roasted squash, Merguez sausage, and a cherry infused au jus. My wife loved the salmon with a quinoa crust - cooked perfectly to a buttery melt in your mouth perfection and served with fennel, carrot mousse and grilled citrus. The seasonal blossom salad was complex, light and amazing.
The dessert was a Basque herb-crusted cheesecake that was sublime. Also the wines we had were superb.

Hard to understand the low ratings others have given this place - maybe it is not consistently as wonderful as it was for us. But for us this was five stars all the way. We will definitely return.

This was a total wow experience! From the amber-lit outdoor setting to the knowledgeable and attentive staff to the outstanding food and drinks—everything about SO•PA was incredible.

My husband and I are foodies, and we love to be delighted. SO•PA delivered with unique preparations that made each course exciting to try! The menu changes from time to time, but I absolutely loved the lamb saddle, and my husband couldn’t get enough of the roasted heirloom chicken roulade. We also indulged in a couple of first courses until we thought we couldn’t eat another bite… but then our server described the chocolate mousse “cigars.” How could we resist? The presentation in a wooden box was so creative, and the “cigars” were light, luscious, and the perfect way to end our meal.

Don’t let the 4.1-star rating deter you—this was a solid 5-star experience. We can’t wait to return!

We had a fantastic dining experience at SO•PA! Our server, Rachael, was sweet, knowledgeable about the menu, and very friendly. Jacob was also kind and went out of his way to help with the outdoor heaters on a chilly night. The food and drinks were absolutely delicious, and the outdoor ambiance made for a wonderful evening. Highly recommend!
