The Barn Kitchen

Beautiful patio setting. Very good food. Prices seemed a little high for portion size. Friendly service, but a little inattentive because two servers do it all.

Extraordinary meal, extraordinary setting, extraordinary service. Beautiful location in a garden inside the hotel. Attentive service from the moment we came; food was amazing and they were willing to accommodate our dietary constraints. The cooked carrots were so well flavored and the crumble on top reminded me of a cinnamon crumble (without the sugar) - never seen anything like it. The hamachi crude was delicious as was the salmon and the raw tuna salad. And then came the warm chocolate chip cookies which they started to make 25 minutes before they served them - oh my God were they good. Offered my wife a glass of milk but she is lactose intolerant so they went and got her oat milk - just thought of everything. After dinner, there was a large fire pit to continue having a drink or to make smores (they just leave the component parts right near by) and to hang out talking - it was romantic, relaxing, delicious and just peaceful - what a great treat - highlight of our stay in Palm Springs. Thank you for such a delicious meal.

I spent the afternoon of my 70th birthday here, just to relax and enjoy the ambiance, in the company of my husband.

Lovely place, good food and the servers are awesome! Jessica helped me when I spilled my entire glass of wine all over the table. She was very gracious.

Really nice place, which I highly recommend as a place to eat, drink and be merry any day!!

Good food and friendly service. Had to wait for our main dish for almost an hour but were not in a hurry and got dessert on the house :-)

Nice ambiance and service but food is ordinary. One person kitchen makes it a long wait. Not worth the money (or the wait)…..

Unfortunately a one person kitchen with limited capacity. Shouldn’t be open to the public. If you want to eat here be prepared to be a guest but they shouldn’t have out side guests get their hopes up. It just causes problems for guests and visitors.

Seriously the best experience in Palm Springs to date! Amazing food, Instagram worthy atmosphere and our server Desie made our experience perfect. We will be back!!!!

Wonderful atmosphere and staff. Food was inventive and well priced and delicious.

Absolute hidden gem in Palm Springs. Almost don’t want to let anyone know about it but it’s just too good not to share.
The outside seating is simply beautiful, you are surrounded by beautiful citrus trees, we really felt like we were transported into a European village, maybe Greece (and I’m European so that’s saying something) as for the food….my god!!! The menu is so imaginative, delicate, fresh and just delicious. I tried things I had never tasted before and I LOVE that about a menu. We all ate something different (Fuyu Persimons, Market Greens, Spiced Cauliflower pita and The Barn Burger) and all four of us were blown away.
The service…darn I didn’t catch her name, well she was fantastic, she even brought us fresh baked cookies as a treat, which were absolutely melt in your mouth! I can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu. My new favorite restaurant in Palm Springs maybe even the whole valley!!!

Quite possibly the worst dinning experience in the last 10 years. Atmosphere is lovely, service was atrocious and food was ho hum. We should have gone to In-and-Out instead. We were pretty much the only diners for lunch. My $20 margarita was poured premixed bottle, My Simple salad took at least an hour to come out, My simple hot sandwich took over 90 minutes. Except it was not hot by the time the server could figure out how to get it to our table. Stay away. It’s just not worth your time to go here. This is my only negative review to a restaurant in probably a decade anywhere.

I’m really torn writing this review, as I so wanted a different experience, and felt it was possible.

When we arrived at 8 pm, it was dark. The parking lot is barely lit, and entrance door has no light, but has I window next to it, and as we looked through- into the lobby I said “I think we are at someone’s home”…. As we saw people around a book or canvas. I thought they were painting. My partner opened the door and the feeling of discovering a secret place washed over me- very charming - but I think unintentional.

The property is deep, so we passed through what we now understood was a reception area we then went to a lounge area. The bartender was everything, and charming. She was host, bartender, and Server. She brought us to our table and I have to saw it was the definition of quaint. Two seats- side by side facing the pool. So we were promptly seated, points gained! Semi quickly served drinks- ok, but then the wait began. We ordered our food when the drinks were served to eliminate the server needing to come back and forth unnecessarily.

The china they use is Matt finish- so greasy finger print show. Enough said? Points lost.

The menu is limited in size and I I always assume that to mean that what they do they will do well… but when we ordered the Rib Eye for 2…. They were out. I understand- things happen, but it didn’t seem busy, and 8 on Saturday night. We placed that order when our drinks were delivered… I had ordered pineapple juice with ginger beer… they didn’t have pineapple juice. So I was offered other non alcohol options. I ordered cranberry juice.

The food was alright, but not Wow level. We had the pasta dish, the sea bass dish, and a salad adding chicken. We opened with the meal I and burrata and melon- that’s always a winning combo.

Imagine my surprise when I asked for a refill of my cranberry juice, to find out they were out! Of cranberry juice! A basic bar mixer!!!!! Points lost.

To sum up my experience- this place is replete with character and charm, the server/bartender was amazing- but overtaxed in responsibilities, which made the server times lag. We were on time, drinks ordered, received drinks at 8:30, food shortly began slowly thereafter, and by 9:45 we’re feelings bit of a polite push toward the door. I think she may have also been managing their room rentals. The food- average. When we left- and opened the door into the poorly lit parking lot… I thought… a trip and fall hazard waiting to happen.

Palm Springs is an oasis of magical experiences- this establishment promises, but falls short.

Vegetarian options: Very limited menu- so limited vegetarian offerings.

Parking was readily available in front of the hotel. The restaurant is in the middle of the property with pretty views of the pool and grounds. The server was very friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed the smashed cucumber starter and the quinoa tabbouleh salad. Both were delicious!

We've eaten here a few times but it was always at the communal table outside with the prefix menu. We decided to try it again and sat at the communal table inside since it was so hot outside. The food was great, very interesting flavors but the service while friendly was not very attentive.

The service was the absolute worst service I've ever ever encountered. The food was mediocre, but the ambience is wonderful too too bad. They couldn't get it all together to make it a magical setting.
