“Great sports vibe, massive space, and incredible food! 🍺🍔
Watched the games on their huge screens and tried some awesome food:
Mozzarella Balls with Hot Cheetos: Cheesy, crunchy, with a cool zest of lime!
Chipotle Tuna Melt & Caesar Salad: Absolutely phenomenal combo.
Washed it down with an ice-cold NA Heineken.
It was a super busy day so service was a little slow, but the food and environment made up for it!“

“My friend and I enjoyed everything. We started with the burrata, I got the filet, and she had the salmon. Everything was delicious and tasty. We both commented that everything had the perfect amount of salt for our taste too! The tahini ice cream was interesting and not too heavy which made it the perfect way to end the meal. The service was wonderful. Interesting location and very tastefully decorated inside. We definitely splurged, but it was worth it!“

We all indulged in a mai tai, they were perfect. We can't wait to dine here again. The atmosphere was great, our server was very pleasant. The manager even came over to ask how everything was and asked if we needed anything.“

“If you are looking for a craft cocktail, this is the place. It's a tiny cozy bistro right off of Palm Dr with small plates, attentive staff and fresh food. The drinks are well- balanced, well-thought out and beautifully presented. The food is fresh and delicious. This is not a miss when visiting Palm Springs.“

“I chanced on this place from a person I met at a bar downtown DHS. Looks kinda trashy from the outside but don't judge this book by its cover. The best Karaoke experience I've ever had and I do it a lot. A real stage, stage lighting, smoke machines and friggin A, an actual guitar player who looks like Mick Mars playing along if he knows the song and he seemed to know them all! I sang Black Keys, Deep Purple and The Who so right up his alley. Redd was impressed enough that he bought me a shot after I sang The Seeker, never had a DJ buy me a drink! Both the bartenders were super nice and drinks were really inexpensive so this place freaking rocks. Great crowd too, lots of really friendly locals. And also get this, the place has several pool tables, the longest shuffleboard I've ever seen and dog friendly too!“

“I love a speakeasy that actually commits to being a speakeasy. The entrance is very unassuming, the vibes on the inside were really cool (a little loud though), and the drinks were made with care. The one I got was described to be similar to a gimlet on the menu (I don’t remember the name of it), it was really delicious.“

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

“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert“

“We were seated promptly upon arrival. The staff were very polite and friendly. Every one of them was truly intent on making sure that our visit to the restaurant was a memorable one. After we placed our order, our dinner arrived and was cooked to perfection! We chose seafood and it was absolutely delicious and the portions were generous. Our servers ensured that we were pleased with our dinner selection. Upon our departure, we were thanked for our patronage. It's always a pleasure to dine at Sammy G's Tuscan Grill. They are a class act!!!“

“Jimmy and his team treated us like family. Great food, great drinks and great service. We will be back every trip!!“

“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“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!“

“A unique, elegant sports bar that transitions to a night time, hopping dance spot with great food, Awesome staff and a Family feel. An awesome addition to Palm Canyon.“

“Really nice place for breakfast just off El Paseo - freshly cooked, good service, and a nice vibe. A real antidote to the major chains!“

“We miss the buns you used to serve. Why don't you put them on the menu and charge for them? The replacement buns on the menu are NOT nearly as good. Also why did you tae the pork and burger sliders off the menu..they were great Happy Hour/anytime items .“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“The atmosphere takes you to a village in Mexico. The food is authentic. Love the nachos. Pleasant wait staff.“

“This place is across from Sherman’s tucked away 70s vibe.

First the bar tender James is an amazingly nice guy!

secondly I have not had a better Martini than the ones I have had here!

The espresso Martini was just incredible, so smooth cold and delicious. The raspberry Lemon Drop was the best, not sweet not too tart just perfect. Next was the blueberry Kinsey equally amazing!

These are truly perfectly made drinks! If you’re looking for true martinis this is it!

If’s a fun crowd with nice people, lively music and folks jumping up on the dance floor. Bathrooms are clean. Plenty of parking.“

He told us about a few special items they were serving that evening and my girlfriend ended up ordering one of them. The food was out of this world and so was Anthony. We will define back in the future.“

I look forward to tasting more for my next visit. My server was Audrey and she was top notch! So lovely.“

“Very nice service. Super yummy food. We had a great night out.“

“Burgers and Beer is a cool spot I found nearby EOS. The place looked pretty big from the outside, so I asked my partner if she wanted to do an early dinner. I noticed they have daily specials, but be mindful that they usually serve from 11-3, and after that, the happy hour menu takes over till 6.
We originally came for the tuesday burger deal, but we arrived after 3, we still ordered a burger and decided to try the machaca chimichangas from the HH menu. The service was great, thanks Javier. I really appreciated the variety, not just food and beers, but sports on TV too.
The only thing was that the bottom bun of the burger was very soggy, our server joked its gravity’s fault...
Maybe adding a crisp, dry lettuce layer underneath could help. Overall, great vibes and a fun place to chill and hang out.“

“We had a lovely dining and cocktail experience at High Moon. Brooklyn made the night extra special with signature shots for our bachelorette party- her artistry was amazing! They accommodated our large party and everything tasted delicious. Hidden gem. Aesthetically pleasing atmosphere with good vibes. Highly recommend while you’re in Palm Springs!“
