“I was just invited for my Birthday Afternoon Tea Celebration at this wonderful venue! Everything was perfect..The food, the atmosphere, the staff and Willie himself! The attention to detail was much appreciated. Lovely tea service, the live harp music, beautifully presented food. Our waiter made sure our yummy Vanilla Earl Grey Tea was always refreshed and hot. Highly recommend this cool and elegant restaurant! Can’t wait to come back!!“

“The server Jonas was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The temperature was too warm for dining. Our food was very good , prepared perfectly and presented with an artistic flair! I would definitely recommend this restaurant for a date night, a girls night out and for a family dinner.“

“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 always have a lovely time and an enjoyable meal at Bar Cecil. We celebrated my husband's birthday this time and had a fantastic meal. The halibut was the best halibut I have had in a while and the pavlova was just the perfect bite to share after dinner.“

“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 .“

“Food is delicious and the presentation . The staff is great beautiful ambience .“

“Yummy food and super friendly staff.“

“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.“

“The restaurant at Palm Springs Surf Club delivers a polished resort dining experience that blends elevated comfort food with a laid-back desert-luxury atmosphere. The setting is one of its biggest strengths—mountain views, open-air seating, misted terraces, and stylish interiors make the whole meal feel like part of the getaway, not just a stop for food. The menu feels California-inspired and approachable, with everything from hearty burgers and rich pasta to shareable appetizers executed with thoughtful presentation. The dishes look vibrant and indulgent, while the ambiance manages to be both upscale and relaxed, which is hard to pull off. Service and design work together to create a place that feels ideal for long lunches, sunset dinners, or lingering over drinks after the surf pool. It’s the kind of restaurant where the scenery, food, and atmosphere all contribute equally to the experience.“

“I’ve lived in Palm Desert all my life and since Restaurante Los Primos opened, it’s been my #1 food spot. I generally come in during lunch for their salads, which are a-mazing. I highly recommend the Sante Fe and Power Bowl. The staff is friendly, the food is great, what more could I want.“

“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.“

“5 star service and killer flavors. Great job!! Weekly stop for sure now“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love the food here-so creative and incredibly tasty!“

“Excelent food and service. Ray was fantastic!!!“

“Stopped in for breakfast before heading back to the San Fernando Valley after a weekend in La Quinta and were glad we did.

This place definitely has the feel of a local favorite, which is always a good sign. There was a wait for indoor seating, but we were seated on the patio right away.

Service was friendly, prompt, and attentive throughout our meal. The breakfast menu had so many good options that choosing was the hardest part. I ordered the Country Breakfast with over-easy eggs and hash browns, while my husband went with the breakfast burrito.

The restaurant was busy, so there was a bit of a wait for our food, but it was completely understandable and the staff did a great job keeping our coffee and water topped off in the meantime.

When our meals arrived, we were surprised by the portion sizes—everything was huge and absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere.

If we lived locally, this would definitely become a regular breakfast spot. Highly recommended!“
