“This place is THE hidden gem of desert hot springs. Best mole I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to Oaxaca. The food has vibrant flavors and is truly authentic. Their cocktail flavor combinations are like nothing I’ve experienced. They have a drink with a stick of burned cinnamon, chipotle blend, mezcal, and ginger simple syrup, all homemade and hand crafted, menu created by the owner.“

“I live the aesthetic of this place. It is very relaxing while looking out in the mountains. I love the accommodating Cafe with Chagachino and healthy options of salads and oatmeal. I love the relaxing music and the quietness of the place. You can indulge in their $69 weekday or $79 weekend hot Springs admissio, or better, dwell into their spa menu starting from $20 collagen mask to 3 hour massage packages ranging $100 to $400“

“Was in town recently and needed some dinner after a long day on the road. After giving the menu a couple read throughs I opted for the Forever with You roll and an order of the Vegetarian eggrolls. The service was professional, friendly and kind. My to go order was packed securely and with attention to details, including everything you might need in the package. The food was okay. The egg rolls (3 to an order) were crispy and golden brown, but the veggies were way over cooked, just mushy on the inside. The Forever with You roll was good, a nice large roll and very crunchy with nice texture and consistency throughout the roll, double ended shrimp tempura style. Sweet and spicy. A decent choice for my night there, and served its purpose. Had better and also had worse. 3.5 Stars rounded up because of the staffs attention to the details. 00941“

“Second time here and this serene place doesn't disappoint!! The food is fresh, delicious , healthy, and creatively made our favorite breakfast items were the coconut porridge , the brûlée yogurt , and the date shake ! The staff is accommodating and the spa was even better ! I booked a one hour massage with Gabriel and he was so attentive to my needs that I rebooked the following day! I have to say that, the mineral tubs, and our beautiful suite really made this trip that much more special . So grateful to my husband for booking at Two Bunch Palms for my birthday!“

“I have been in search of really good Pad Thai and I found it here in Palm Dessert. We are here for the night and it made my night. I was super surprised actually. I have had a LOT of terrible thai food. It was hot, good chicken, great flavor and actual peanuts! So so yummy! Well done! Recommend for sure.“

“Loved the whole ambience and aesthetic of the restaurant. Service was responsive and friendly and checked on us but didn't intrude. Dinner was delicious - just a bit on the cool side by the time we received our meals. I ordered the shrimp Diavola and this was pretty good, however, the shrimps themselves were just OK and not as warm and crunchy as I would've liked. The garlic toast was overdone. The coleslaw and rice were both nice accompaniments. My family had a seelction of tacos and everyone enjoyed. We liked the guacamole and I was the only one who liked the salsa as it was a bit smokey flavoured for everyone else's tastes. Overall, we would say a bit more upscale than a traditional Mexican and we were happy to try it one time.“

“Went to Palm Springs for dinner and came across The Front Porch with good reviews on google maps and we know why it’s so highly rated after trying. The atmosphere, food and staff service were amazing! We were served by Justin who is extremely friendly and makes us feel very welcomed. His recommendations were all on point and we have to recommend them as well. The baked Brie, beef carpaccio, shrimp ceviche and tuna Ahi lettuce wraps coupled with their amazing cocktails. The prices in this restaurant are also extremely affordable given the quality ingredients that they served. Will totally recommend this place if you’re in Palm Springs and you will definitely not forget“

“What more could you ask for in a patio restaurant/bar along the sunny streets of downtown Palm Springs? Maybe you’re drawn to the live music like a moth to a flame after walking Palm Canyon aimlessly, hungry for a satisfying bite. Of the TB Marlin Bars I’ve encountered, by far PS offers a superior downtown location you can walk right into and have a drink in hand within minutes. Perhaps after parking in the nearby structure. It's a laid-back outdoor space complete with umbrellas, mist on hot days, and heaters on cool evenings. It’s where to chill in the desert!Food/Drink:Besides when hunger strikes, my favorite meal is a happy (hour) meal. For the Marlin Bar, that’s 3-6 PM daily. No reservations needed; just follow the signs and order at the counter before securing your table. While “island time” (happy hour) may not include food, there are plenty of snacks on the menu to share with the table, like the World Famous Coconut Shrimp, the (spicy) Crispy Chicken Wings, or the 808 flatbread with its sweet heat. While visiting, both sister and niece requested we dine in a second time they enjoyed the atmosphere and food (Grilled Chicken and Mango Salad, and the Ahi Poké bowl).Vetted cocktails include the classic mojito, gin martini (ask for the blue cheese olives!), cucumber smash, and the ever popular signature frozen cocktails (mai tai and piña colada). Like it so much you want the recipe? Peep the website for recipes and cocktails!Service:On it! The collective staff of smiley servers all work together to accommodate customers. Should you wish to order additional items, refill a beverage, or close out your bill; simply smile and wave at your nearest server. There’s no need to leave your seat or return to the counter! In my experience, the kitchen and bar have food/drinks on the table within 10-20 minutes, or less. Outstanding service PS TB team! Well done.Ambiance:What I love most about the casual corner of Tommy Bahama Palm Springs is that The Marlin Bar offers a relaxed refuge where you can unwind with a cocktail, light fare, and chill out with LIVE music from local musicians, 5-8PM daily (weather permitting). Did I mention they accommodate four legged friends too? With ample seats both inside and out there’s a place for everyone at Tommy’s.Tommy Bahama restaurant and Marlin bar Palm Springs brings the island life to the desert and I’m already looking forward to my next visit - blue cheese olives included! Cheers to you PS TB team! ?Parking: I recommend the parking structure by the art museum. Added bonus for Tesla owners needing to charge.“

“Awesome service and drinks (well worth it) been there a couple of times and im always impressed. Pizzas were very basic for price (not cooked toppings or even cut topping or cut pizza) and portions were small in my opinion for the price (salad/ burger) But taste was very yummy. I would 100% return because of the drinks and amazing service!“

“We loved everything about Copley's! Greg was very cordial as we entered the restaurant, Grecia was very attentive to every detail, and the staff was always ready to clear a plate or fill our ice water. The food was delicious, and we never felt rushed, but enjoyed every moment of our time at Copley's!“

“Fantastic! Ate by the fountain, which was very romantic and had no problems with the floating decorations as others mentioned bothering them. Food was terrific and service world class by Sergio and his team! Definitely will return when we come back to Palm Springs.“

“The atmosphere at this establishment is exceptional, and the customer service is truly amazing. I had the pleasure of meeting the owner, who exuded humility and positivity. I highly recommend trying their delicious margarita tower. While enjoying the beautiful mountain views, you can savor authentic Mexican delights. Thank you, Jaime, for a wonderful experience.Parking: Right in front of the restaurant“

“It had been years since I had been to this restaurant and I had an out-of-town guest and wanted to take her out to brunch before she got on her flight home. I couldn't have picked a more perfect place. The atmosphere is beautiful, gorgeous and the food was absolutely a 10... Zero complaints about the pricing, the quality of the food and the level of service. Most highly recommend as a destination for breakfast/brunch/lunch. “

“There is good food, there is great food, and once in a great while you hit that place that not only has great food, but amazing service, owner and staff. Those moments really hit, and this was one of those moments. Hint, they open at 4, get in line at least by 3:30.“

“Not sure how else to put it, this place is awesome! It's my favorite. Never disappoints. Forgive me, I can't remember the name of the woman who took my order. Madeline, Katelyn. Sorry. But she was so kind and genuine. Very patient and friendly. Great person to have at the front of the house! A trip to PS is not complete for me without a stop here!“

“This place is a gem! We were so happy to discover it one day. Freshly baked bread- this is something I was missing so much in Palm Springs! Jose & Frank & their whole team are beautiful people! Lovely place to have breakfast & lunch.I wish they were open for dinner too. Our favorite place in town.“

“Love this little place. This is the best sushi place you could find in the desert cities. Highly recommended. Fresh sweet shrimp with fried shrimp head is a must order item. I also love their green tea ice cream with fried bananas for dessert.“

“This is what a California Diner should be. John's is a throwback of years gone by in the most wonderful way. the way it smells, the way it looks- the food, the ordering counter, literally everything. John's is one of the most complete places to eat in Palm Springs“

“We had a lovely evening. Our server was a most enjoyable lady who made our dining experience delightful. Our food was prepared perfectly as always. It was a very busy evening but all wait staff had smiles on their faces like they really enjoyed what they were doing!!“

“Very very rarely do I hear my partner say something positive about food establishments. Today he walked back out to our car, gelato in hand and exclaimed “I love this place”. We come every Saturday before grocery shopping and will continue to do so. I love the panna cotta with either strawberry or lemon (owners recommendation) and today have a new favorite with the Carmel crème. They also have espresso for affogato and sidewalk table too. Love this place for their flavors, generous portions(for gelato) and most of all their hospitality.“

“What a great meal! Each dish was packed with flavour - we especially liked the dumplings and eggplant. Great recommendations from our server. The amuse bouche congee was a really nice touch and delicious. We were warmly welcomed by staff who quickly got a high chair for our child and some paper to go with the crayons we brought. The highlight were the cocktails and beer. Their twist on a marg is memorable!“

“Billy Reed's restaurant is a unique and wonderful find in Palm Springs. The food was amazing. We stopped for appetizers and the had the hot wings, potato skins and chicken quesadillas; all delicious. Very reasonable prices. Our server, Thomas, was great, very attentive.“

“La comida fue muy deliciosa, mi favorita persona es la madre "mom". Tuve las enchiladas con polla, el servicio fue excelente y me encanta el servicio. Mi amigo ordenó la chimihangoo, la cosa fue muy gigante pero lo perecía delicioso!!!!“

“Hoja Blanca offers the most creative and delicious foods. I’ve tried almost every item of the menu and I’ve never been disappointed. The shishitos and oyster tacos are amazing and I always have to order them. You all need to go check them out!“

“This was my first time here and OMG, it was amazing. They make your food fresh to order, so everything comes out hot. And the workers were amazing as well. They were courteous. I can't wait to go back. I highly recommend this place to eat, you won't regret it“

“on a side street steps from La Plaza in downtown Palm Springs , but quiet and secluded so you feel miles away from the hustle and bustle! The chef makes delicious food, some french some asian and some an interesting combination of the two. Quiches are exquisite here as are the lightly dressed salads for lunch, which is what our party of four experienced at French Miso Cafe 3/8/24. Service was superb, with the chef himself checking with us to make sure we were happy with our meals. A hidden neighborhood gem“

“Everything from the valet to dessert was top notch. Daniel served us with care and respect. He took joy in making our dinner great! The brined pork chop was delicious as were the coconut shrimp. The onion soup was warm and wonderful. The banana split was enormous and fun. The banana cream pie was not their best dish but everything else was superb! The ambiance was warm and welcoming but a bit dark for my old eyes. I have to say Spencer's is one of the high spots in PSP. Get there!“

“Love this little place! Thrifty Icecream flavors, coffee, shaved ice snow cones, dessert treats... everything is so good. Kids love the stranger things Icecream sundae. Also has a cute little retail section and book lending library. Staff are always so nice and welcoming.“

“Outstanding meal with excellent by Edgar and his team. Loved the Chef and Matre'd coming by the table to ensure all was OK. Only minus were the Souffles, both the Grand Manier and Chocolate seemed to be cooked too quickly and lacked any flavor. The Grand had no taste (vanilla?) and the Chocolate was flavored by the Chocolate sauce. Souffle aside it was an gastronomic experience close to the best we have had in Palm Springs. Thank you.“

“This is an amazing local ice cream joint in the Palm Springs center. It has a Hawaiian/island theme and carries several pacific island flavors such as Ube - delicious, lychee, etc. among others. The shakes are amazing as well as their ice cream. Delicious treat under the warm Palm Springs sun!“

“Thanks for offering so many vegan plant based options on your menu. We got drunken noodles, yellow curry and fresh spring rolls. All were excellent fresh and good size portions. Did take out and food was ready on time. Restaurant looked busy as well.“

“While eating at the neighboring El Salvador Cafe, we saw the bright colors on the patio of Loco Charlie's and decided to dine here for lunch the next day. Beto greeted us and let us select any of the tables inside or outside. After we chose one on the patio, he brought over our waters, a basket of chips and two bowls of salsa. The first serving of chips and salsa comes free, but it's an extra cost if you want a refill. The menu here is so extensive and they offer basically everything (and probably more) than what you'd expect at a Mexican restaurant. Beto recommended the fajitas so that helped me narrow down my decision. Overall, he was super personable and we enjoyed conversing with him, connecting on the topic of the Pacific Northwest. CHICKEN FAJITAS ($21.99): A HUGE serving which I'm sure could easily be two portions for many people. The chicken became a little dry as it continued cooking on the sizzling plate, but it had good flavor from a savory and slightly sweet marinade. The peppers and onions were still somewhat crisp and had developed a nice char. A separate plate contained two tortillas, Spanish rice, refried beans, lettuce, pico de gallo and guacamole. For the price, the amount of food was quite generous. I had enough leftovers to make for a light dinner. If you are in the mood for fajitas, but want a smaller serving, consider getting the Fajita Tacos. It's the fajita meat and vegetables, assembled into taco form, also served with a side of beans and rice. Throughout lunch, Beto provided great service and stopped by a couple times to check on us. The owner, Charlie, was also helping out that day and visited our table to say hello. Everyone in my group was happy with their meals, so I'd consider this a solid spot for Mexican food. Side notes: - There is plenty of parking since the restaurant is located alongside other shops and eateries. - The restaurant is not far from the airport. With planes taking off every few minutes, it is pretty loud, so the patio isn't the best place to hold a conversation.“

“Oh my! The food is so awesome and authentic! Went there around 3pm thinking to just get some drinks end up had our appetisers and main course. Their pisco sour is really nice, their margaritas just so so. Their breaded seafood is sooooo yummy!“

“Looking forward to visiting again when we are in town! This super cute midcentury mod serves craft cocktails for all the dog-friendly and dog lovers. My husband came in for drinks after dinner, this was the perfect laid back setting to enjoy Palm Springs and people watch. Aunt Donna's dirty poodle took me on a flavor ride. If you like yuzu, skip the desert and go for this rich fancy lady.“

“The service was great. Our waiter was very helpful and fun. They all went out of their way for us to have a great experience. The food was a bit on the bland side- not bad, it was good but nothing to write home about. A tad expensive for the bland taste and small portion sizes. The restaurant is not large, so it did not feel overcrowded even when the dinner rush picked up“

“Food was incredible. Whatever your diet, keto, paleo, carnivore, vegetarian....thus place has it...fresh, wholesome, variety packed.The rotisserie yams....must have.Service not so much. I would have told the manager this but he disappeared half way thru my meal.You know simple things like"Hello my name is such and such how are you today?"Or"Your food will be out in a few minutes"Or"Sorry the check took 30 minutes to bring, I hope you have a good day"Ps please bring appetizers out first not w meal“

“This was our first time at Jake's. I was hesitant about going because I didn't want to spend that much money on an entree but the food was so delicious it was worth the price. I had the Seabass & my husband had the meatloaf. We shared the Miami vice salad as a starter and the carrot cake for dessert. Didn't have any drinks so can't comment there. The Seabass was cooked to perfection and melted in my mouth. Perfect portion. My husband loved the meatloaf. The picture doesn't do it any justice. They brought complimentary bread rolls (one each). The slice of cake is large & definitely for sharing & worth trying. It's a small restaurant with most of the seating on the side patio. Our reservation was at 5:30 in April & some of the tables still had partial sun. Our server Alexia was very attentive. I would love to go back. We brought our dog & they gave him water & treats.“

“Loved this place. Ate here the last night in Palm Springs and had the beautiful Jasmine as our waitress. Hubby and I split the 4 pc fried chicken dinner. Was awesome! This place holds a lot of history. Jasmine and Nick made our visit even more memorable!“

“Let's start off by saying the service was amazing. Both our server Javier and the bartender Oscar where phenomenal. Very attentive and helpful throughout our visit. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend the carnitas. Will not disappoint. Very shareable portion as well.“

“We were so hungry and I was in the mood for pizza. We were going to go to a spot a little off the main road of Palm Springs but so happy we didn't. We needed a dog friendly place and so happy to stumble on Bills Pizza, it was delicious! If you order a large pizza you can choose two flavors/toppings, so we picked Come Back and Nicolas Cage. My favorite was the Come Back. We went around 8pm and there was no wait. Our server was nice. Prices are reasonable. We were a party of 3 and shared a large pizza and had a couple of slices left.“

“Tyler's is a must every time I'm in Palm Springs - can't pass up their perfect juicy burger. Somersise the burger if you're watching carbs. That's what Suzanne used to do...RIP. Get here early to beat the crowds and enjoy the outdoor seating and friendly service.“

“This is one of the best breakfast spots in the valley. We just stopped in after a morning walk and didn't really know anything about the place. What a great decision! Everything was pretty much perfect. Starting off with good, rich coffee and fast excellent service. The assortment of breakfast bread choices was awesome and definitely made in house. The homemade biscuits are some of the best I've had (Mammaw, yours are better). They even have homemade "pop tarts". Eggs cooked perfectly every time and the avocado, tomato and mushroom omelette with Brie is a vegetarian dream. Hubbie is a meat eater and said the bacon was some of the best he's had. Heading back to try lunch as it was that good.“

“I was expecting to be underwhelmed by workshop kitchen given my last experience there and its reputation over the last 10 yrs of style over substance at high price points. But when in PS there aren’t a lot of options for fine dining so I gave it another try…and enjoyed the food. Workshop feels less glamorous and more “accessible” (baseball hats, kids, tank tops, etc) than in years past but we enjoyed our meal - the gnocchi and pork chop in particular. The service was friendly and bustling.“

“Such a wonderful restaurant. The crew was fantastic, such a professional wait staff. The meal was excellent. No outside dining but plenty of room inside. We were there for a Tuesday lunch and the place was full. The bakery is awesome. The menu is extensive with plenty of choices. The parking lot is very ample with easy in and out. Actually, I cannot wait to dine there again.“

“I really enjoyed my experience at 4 Paws! There was a large selection of baked goods as well as hot menu items. My mom really liked her bunless breakfast. She said it was filling and had lots of protein. The blueberry scone was soft and yummy. Perfect amount of sweetness. Cafe itself has lots of seating. They have board games out if you want some entertainment and a gifty shop area. Coffee was great. Definitely pricy like most coffee shops around here. Employees are friendly.“

“i came here a while ago (august 2023) and was pleasantly surprised! to be honest i didn't really have high hopes i just wanted some ice cream and it was the only place open late. the cashier marialy was really nice and helpful. the selection was overwhelming but they let me sample some and told me their recommendations. i ended up getting a lavender scoop and an ice cream sandwich. both i enjoyed. i came back recently and fell in love with their horchata ice cream and took a pint home! love the vibes of this little shop. you can tell there is attention to detail in every corner you look. AND THEY HAVE VEGAN FRIENDLY OPTIONS!!“

“In my opinion, this is the best Thai restaurant in the valley. I have tried several and they all fell short. It’s still not what I’m used to, but it will do since there are limited choices here. I wish the outdoor patio area had heaters and was a little more cozy. I think they can up their game a bit on the atmosphere. If they put a little effort in the decor, it could be a really sweet spot in an awesome location.“

“Tried the fried chicken sando with sando sauce and an order of late night fries. The chicken was ultra crispy and cooked perfectly, gotta go with the sando sauce. The late night fries were awesome, ultra crisp with flavorful toppings. Towards the end of the order they became a bit soggy but still delicious with the cheese sauce and grilled onions. I feel luke I need to try the burger next time, but I know the chicken is so delicious it'll be a tough choice.Edited to add a note about how friendly and efficient the waitstaff are. We dined outside and they helped us push two tables together and two seperate staff stopped by our table to ask if we needed anything.“

“This bar is outside the Hyatt Palm Springs. Had lunch there. I had the ceasar salad and the fish tacos and they were delicious. The tacos were flavorful and the ceasar had tons of parmesan and the dressing was homemade. Good atmosphere and right in the center of everything in Palm Springs. Service and staff were very nice too.“
