Tried to make reservation for 4 for our 60th Wedding Anniversary 5 days in advance. We’re full this weekend, they sai on the phone. No sorry, no attempt at accommodation. Nothing .The King would never treat people like that!!

Grabbed a seat at the bar. Friendly staff and excellent service. The tempura fried green beans and onion rings were delicious. We split the hamburger. So good. Arnold Palmer's is on our regular rotation in Old Town. Plan ahead and make a reservation if you want a table.

Our favorite place to dine while in town! The service is fantastic, the ambiance...especially on the outdoor patio cannot be beat and the food is top notch!! This is a not to miss dining experience when in Coachella Valley area. Enjoy!

We had a big group and the restaurant staff went above and beyond to accommodate us. I know it was challenging with the rain making outdoor seating not an option. We really appreciated it! A very special birthday celebration!

Great atmosphere, fantastic service, and excellent food. This was our favorite meal on our visit to La Quinta. We will always dine here when in the area. Just an overall wonderful experience. This is what a great restaurant should be. Thankful we had the opportunity.

Great food and fantastic service. You do need reservations because the restaurant is very popular. They have a beautiful outdoor patio where you can dine.

Friends treated us to Arnold's to celebrate her 60th birthday. My wife and I had never been, our friends had been there several times. My wife and I were impressed, our friends didn't find the experience as enjoyable. I'll start with the service: The valet parking attendants, very nice, humorous and efficient, both arriving and leaving the restaurant. The hostesses (there were like 12 of them) we're all pleasant, they all looked like the band in the Simply Irresistible video by Robert Palmer. Our waiter, Adrian, and his assistants were very nice, very attentive. Overall, the service at the restaurant was spot on. The food: we started with Tempura green beans and Thai spiced calamari. I could have just lived on those two dishes, they were outstanding. For main courses, I ordered the Shrimp Scampi ravioli. How was it you might ask, I have no idea, because Adrian brought me scallops. I am not picky, so I didn't say anything and I went ahead and ate the scallops and they were awesome. My wife had a pesto fish of some sort and I had a few bites. It too, was excellent. The other couple ordered a steak special of some sort. They ordered it rare, and specified rare. Repeatedly. The steak came and it was medium for sure leaning more towards medium well than medium rare. They were not happy, but I had a couple of bites of the steak, and it was terrific....even in its overcooked state. It had a peppercorn sauce and was delicious. Drinks, me an old fashioned, my wife a Malibu and diet coke, were a strong pour and tasty. Overall, a great dinner. The bill was on the other couple, so I have no idea of the tab...I guess I'll find out next time when it's my turn to treat, and we will be returning.

Reserved a table for four on March 13tg on the patio. We have been dining at AP at least 6-10 times this season. I just received a message saying they can’t honor my patio request. Pitiful.

Great spot for dinner and drinks. What you would expect from a place named after Arnie

Fantastic service. Food was wonderful. We started with the bacon date appetizer which was amazing. Main course was meatloaf with mashed potatoes. All excellent. Topped off with dessert!!

Love this place not going to lie it is on the pricey side but it's worth it make sure you make a reservation during the warmer season seat outside to enjoy the music the service is always on point

Missed the mark on this visit. The food was overcooked and the noise was overwhelming. Lots of Arnie history made up for most.
