“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!“

“This place really lives up to the hype. All of the drinks and food we got were really amazing. Standouts were the round of dirty martinis and the pork chop. Our server Ciara was also very attentive and seemed to really enjoy working there. Will definitely be back.“

“Best speakeasy I’ve ever been to. Our bartender Nico was so professional and friendly. Drinks were superb, I recommend the edicion tardia. Went on a weeknight, no wait. Might need a reservation on the weekend. Those one star reviews are BS, this is definitely a high class place.“

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Went here to celebrate my son's graduation from college. We had a fantastic experience. We started off with some appetizers drinks. I had the avocado taco salad. The food was excellent. 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're trying to get into Farm and want an even more upscale alternative, Front Porch is the place for you. I'm loathe to leave this review, mostly because I don't want to make this gem any more popular than it already is. But if you want a select menu of gourmet goodies from upscale sandwiches to one of the best baked bries, this is it. The artisinal cocktails and super efficient, friendly staff make it a fantastic spot to stop for a nice drink and a delightful meal.“

“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 visited Sammy G’s during Restaurant Week and had an absolutely incredible experience. Every single thing we ordered was spot on. The ham and pea tortellini was fantastic, my wife's filet mignon was cooked to absolute perfection, and the Aperol Spritzes were excellent.

Beyond the phenomenal food, the service was top-tier. Our server, Mario, took exceptional care of us and elevated the whole evening. 10/10 experience, we will absolutely be back.“

“An absolutely wonderful stage with the atmosphere inclusive and beautiful!! Great venue for comedy and an unbelievable staff/hospitality.“

“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 .“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“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!“

“What a great evening, my finance's birthday. 15 friends and James was the most amazing host. Busy and still extremely attentive. Music added to the evening. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the night. This will be added to our favorite places to entertain friends and business partners. Many Thanks“

“Fave bar in town cuz the drinks are cheap, strong, and there’s always something happening here through the week. Their drag shows are hilarious. Karaoke is a blast. It’s a must visit when you’re in town!“

“Great entertainment and fantastic service“

“I went there recently on a date with my girlfriend and didn’t know what to expect. Our server Anthony was very friendly and helpful. 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 love Birria Ramen and this might be the best. My husband had a whole fish, that was so delicious. Rice had amazing flavor and beans were good too. Tequila was great, but guess thats hard to screw up. Service was great, friendly and wonderful staff.
Definitely going back again!“

“Great ambiance, drinks, and service!!“

“Stayed here with my husband and had an amazing time! The restaurant is very nice and trendy. The rooms are very clean & modern. Could use some sprucing up of furniture and carpet but overall a great value for the room. Bed was very comfortable. Pool & drinks half the time! Cant go wrong here!“

“The servers were very attentive.“

“The service here is superb. All the staff are on point. I had the golden artichokes, and they were amazing. I had Kiki’s salad, which was perfectly dressed. The snap pea pizza was also very nice. I look forward to tasting more for my next visit. My server was Audrey and she was top notch! So lovely.“

“Came for the famous bacon flight and cinnamon rolls. The bacon flight has great flavor but the bacon was tough, chewy and felt like it had been sitting out a while. The cinnamon roll though was fresh, flaky and had a unique texture and flavor. It is a must order. The real star is the chicken and waffles. The waffle is the best waffle we’ve ever had. We also tried the burrito and it was good but if we return we probably wouldn’t get it again. The service was excellent throughout the meal. We also loved that they keep a water pitcher on the table for easy refills during the meal.“

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

“This restaurant is truly special. Their Thanksgiving spread and service were incredible and we could easily see that they all work as a family not just co workers. They gave my Dad’s girlfriend a wonderful spread of birthday desserts, the whole restaurant sang to her and they even had football going for the Ravens fans next to us! The chef personally came to talk with us and I’d like to give a special shout out to Gina. One of the best servers I’ve ever had at a restaurant. I hope we make it back soon!“
