    Monkeys everywhere in the restaurant.

    My second time there, hoping for the French toast but it was the summer menu. I had the eggs Benedict. It was on a scone. I wasn't crazy about the scone. It was heavy bready. My friend had avocado toast. We both had coffee. The server was beautiful. She was attentive and made my coffee to go. Somehow it was better in the Togo cup. They had breakfast margaritas so I will be back with my drinking friends. They have a very large patio and they open at 8:00 am.

    My niece choose this place because she found it online. I must say, I was pleasantly impressed and I enjoyed this meal very much. I ordered the bacon flight and other dishes as well. I would definitely come back and recommend it to others. The service was good. I had the huevos rancheros which were really good. My niece didn't like her birria so we swamped dishes but I didn't taste anything wrong with them. My drink was good and had the right balance of ingredients. The atmosphere was fun and inviting, it was a nice space to sit outside. The portions are generous and the food is good and flavorful.

    Decided to stop here for lunch, and glad we did. Our hostess Jennifer was friendly and offered us inside or out with the dogs. Turns out they only had space inside at the bar which did not work. We sat outside and it was a bit warm but lovely. Our server Hugo took excellent care of us and made sure everything was okay during the meal. We enjoyed both sandwiches and the sides. It was an excellent price point, and with a nice tip it only cost $40. Our puppies had a good time as well.

    It seems like there's always a line here so make sure to get here early. We arrived around 10:30 am and there was a 20 min wait... so it wasn't too bad. We definitely loved the vibes here. The seating area is a shaded area covered with green trees and shrubs. It was a pretty cold day when we came, but I loved how they had patio heaters on. We started out with the bacon flight. It was an interesting experience and pretty tasty. I just wished that the bacon was a thicker cut. We ordered the quesadilla, breakfast polenta, and the cheesy scrambled eggs. Out of all of them, the polenta was the best. It was seasoned well with plenty of bacon inside. For the cheesy scrambled eggs... it was pretty under seasoned and the maple sausages were extremely bland. We'll probably be back... but we'll stick to the "breakfast this week" items. Staff were also extremely friendly and the food came out quick.

    Went to Cheeky in Palm Springs and honestly the food was really good. I got the chicken and waffles and the presentation was different than what I expected, but it looked sooo good and it was actually super appetizing. My friends ordered the eggs benedict and the chilaquiles and they had no complaints at all -- everything tasted fresh and flavorful. We also tried the bacon flight... not gonna lie it was interesting but still fun to try. Overall, really good brunch spot and I'd definitely go back.

    Crispy and saucy chilaquiles?! Yes please. The corn pancakes were also a hit! This was for sure a great brunch spot that also offers some great morning cocktails to get your day started. The staff was attentive, and even made sure we had some extra syrup for our left over pancakes. The pancakes came with a side of bacon and we were able to ask for the thyme flavored ones. When the pancakes came out, the bacon didn't taste like thyme and that's when we asked our server about it. She realized we had the turkey ones and she was quick to correct which was great! We sat indoors and it was a little chilly, outdoor had some heat lamps but was more crowded too. Great food, great customer service! Def an awesome spot to check out! **** dog friendly patio ****

    A flight of Bacon???!
    Jeff C.

    Flight of bacon? Top notch. Huevos Rancheros and Eggs Benedict were both very good. Street cafe vibe with decent service even when very busy.

    Eggs Benedict
    Isaac C.

    The restaurant itself seems fun. Great outdoor seating. Staff was friendly but aloof. After taking our order we did not see the server until our the check came. Came with a group of three and two were given their food very quickly and mine took another 10-15 minutes to get to the table. My friends were nearly finished by the time I started eating. My friend got the eggs Benedict. It was pretty passable with the exception of the biscuit which was a bit dry and could have been salted more to bring out the cheddar flavor. I got the chicken and waffles. Which was beautifully presented but the waffle was a bit tough and some of the chicken a bit dry.

    Bloody Mary

    Went for a bachelorette brunch with 13 people on a Saturday early afternoon (12:00pm). They have a nice outdoor seating area and can accommodate large groups with prior reservations. With larger groups they do have you pay a deposit and a minimum of $35 per person, deposit goes toward the final bill. Food/service/drinks were all great! I will definitely go back next time I'm visiting Palm Springs. Highly recommend the bacon flight. The flavors are so unique and the bacon is cooked well! Beware of the veggies on the Bloody Mary, they pack a punch!!

    Mimosa and coffee
    Sheila C.

    What a gem in the desert! We stopped in after seeing the great reviews and their weekly menu, and we're so glad we did. Arriving early meant we were seated right away, and the patio made for a perfect, relaxing spot. The service was truly outstanding--every single person we encountered was warm, friendly, and attentive. The food was exceptional. Their sourdough bread is shockingly good; it doesn't look like much at first glance, but one bite proves otherwise. The bacon flight was a fun experience--some pieces were standout favorites, others less so, but all worth trying. The coffee is bold and strong, and the mimosa was absolutely delicious. Overall, a fantastic find.

    For the first time in years of driving by,, there was no line waiting to be seated at this very popular spot and a parking space right out front at 1 pm, so I seized my chance to eat at a PS Michelin restaurant. Breakfast is served all day plus cocktails are available and their lunch menu is eclectic. I was promptly seated on their lovely patio which is screened from Palm Canyon by trees which provide welcome shade but allow mountain views. I now know why there is always a line. I tried something new, their monte christo with raspberry sauce and was wowed by the preparation with perfectly melted cheese on nicely toasted bread. The raspberry sauce was a perfect match for the flavors. I might have to stand in line next time but I will definitely return to enjoy this meal again.

    Fun breakfast spot in Palm Springs! I love the Cheeky ;) nature of it. I'd recommend sitting outside and wish we had, but it was quite hot. Our server was attentive and great at recommending options for us. Yes, the bacon flight is necessary. It's fun, and every flavor was delicious despite some of them not sounding like it'd fit my personal preference. I recommend the eggs Benedict. The cheddar biscuit was a nice change for the classic english muffin. My boyfriend had the Chilaquiles, and wished he had also gotten the Benedict. Drinks were yummy too, and the iced latte was great and came with a side of simple syrup to sweeten to your liking.

    What days and time is brunch?

    The menu on their website says breakfast 8am-2pm and lunch 11:30-2pm. Closed Tuesday.

    How long a wait at Cheekys in Palm Springs on a Wednesday?

    Cheeky's opens at 8am every day, and I would say the wait generally ranges from 30 minutes to 1 hour+ throughout the day, so get there early!

    Are they taking reservations? or is it walk in only?

    Walk in only

    Do they have Bottomless mimosas?

    No, sadly not!

    I know the eggs are organic but is the BACON organic too?

    Not sure but very tasty.

    What is the wait time like for a Friday morning? How early should you arrive?

    The wait can vary. Usually half hour or so. Mid morning is good since people have either gone to work or waiting for lunch. But what is really good is you put your name in and they take your cell number. Then text you when getting close. You can… 

    Is the patio dog friendly?

    Yep! I saw dogs in the patio area when I was there.

    How long is the wait normally on a Saturday/ when would be a good time to arrive?

    The best time to arrive is no later than 7:45 am. You are pretty much assured a seat when it opens. After that, it's usually a wait of 30-60 minutes but of course depends if there are a lot of tourists in town. I personally think it's worth the wait… 

    Do they offer bottomless mimosas?

    Nope. You have to pay for each glass. They use quality champagne and fresh juice though (either orange or pomegranate).

It's a cute space with the greenery, twinkle lights, and plenty of 20th century artwork & photographs. To be honest, I did expect more from the food but I would return to try other menu items. The bread was served piping hot, which is great, but the outer crust was a little too crunchy and hard. The halibut lacked any real flavor while the cacio e pepe had way too much pepper. Naturally the pasta is supposed to have pepper but this was an overwhelming amount and took away from the overall enjoyment of the dish. The mixed salad was fresh and well done though and the deviled eggs were solidly enjoyable. The burger was novelty and juicy. Fries were also fresh and tasted like McDonald's to me (which is a good thing by the way!!). I tried the Garden of the Gods which is a newer gin cocktail on the menu and it was rather refreshing. Of course we had to give the $50 martini a try and it was a kick alright. Turns out, if you order it on 10 occasions then you get your name on a plaque. For $50 x 10 I'd sure hope so! To end the night we finished with a yummy pavlova. Nothing like a little fruit, merengue, and sugar all together. Bar Cecil sent me on a deep dive of Anna Pavlova after that (if you know, you know). While we had higher expectations for the food, this is a cute, trendy place and I'd say, very Palm Springs.

If you didn't know better you'd think you were in LA in the summer, excepty for the bocce ball. They have an excellent selection of spirits, cocktails. Maybe a little varied, but decently creative. The only thing that gets me is pricing. Sure you pay for everything for decor, glassware and not just spritis, but I recall wondering how they price their drinks becuase not everything is equal or standard mark up when some things aren't house made it's easy to cost out becuase you stop paying for creativity after a certain point. It feels like they took alot of Mr. Lyons business model and use that for pricing rather than a sole entity with their own margins. The service makes up for it, the ambiance makes up for it. The crowd makes up for it. Far less wrinkled and aging snowbirds and retirees circling the drain in their waning days. People dressing up and celebrating, genuine convivialness abounds with most guests. It's not somewhere else trying bring that vibe here, it's pretty authentic. It's separate from nextdoor other than shared bathrooms, so don't be surprised when you feel like your in a different world.

I had an idea on where it was but didn't know where. That's where the 4 stars come in. As I had the door open, I could hear from the bar area a gentleman yelling out shut the door. Ok, I get the dark hidden concept but yelling out like that, kind of rude. Do you not want people in. It was about 11pm when we walked in. You enter and it's a dark hallway straight to the bar. That'll be what you see right when you walk in. Place is covered in a dark damask wallpaper and only light are small fixtures. So dark and demure. Bar area is the main attraction with all the seating. There's a few hi tops along the wall as well as some seating in the back area. I'm not sure how big the place is as we only went straight to the bar and sat down. The menu is printed to resemble vintage newspaper. The dark mysterious room with tufted seats and dim lights is what this place is all about. But of course you can't leave out the drinks. Centered of the bar wall, there's Udo Kier watching you. Anyways, down to the drinks. Printed on the newspaper was a perfect touch. I went with the pisco sour and we had the bartender make something else with mescal. An updated smoke and mirror I believe. Drinks were excellent which we expected. The whole place is really dark and mysterious which was a nice touch. It wasn't that busy when we arrived Friday night. A couple of people in the back area which we definitely could hear...lol... There was no list to get in as we just walked in. The only downfall with the rating, the rude remark when we walked in with shutting the door all the way from the bar area. Yes we heard it from outside. There were two bartenders working , but we did chat with one of them and she was a sweetheart. Informed us that they too will be closed down for the summer holiday but will be renovating. Places out here closes at least a month for summer holidays and with the slow season due to the heat. First impression of this place, besides the rude remark was we really liked it. The drinks were great and tasty. It's not super big but more intimate. Can get a little loud as people are talking over each other. Could be the alcohol.... It's someplace I would visit again with people who I know will appreciate it.

    I love this dark little getaway. The style is spot on - the dark velvet damask wall paper, the…read moreintimate table lighting, and the "newspaper" acting as the cocktail menu is speakeasy cool. The bartender was super helpful and made me a "Smoke & Mirror" (mezcal base) is hands-down the very best cocktail EVER!!!!

    It's always good time had here. When we don't know what we're craving, this place alway helps with…read morethat. Everything we alway decide on is alway a good. Also Sunday brunch can never go wrong. Right in the heart of town along the main strip of downtown. Perfect for people watching while dining on the patio. Be advised, it does get hot but they do have both the main covered patio and street covered patio. Both with mister working the whole time. If you prefer ac, they have indoor dining as well. We like to enjoy the sun and people watching which patio is alway a good option for us. Of course we make friends with the waiter as they alway take care of us. Everyone here from the staff, waiter and waitress, and the owners are all very sweet and friendly. Menu is alway great. You have both the breakfast and brunch menu. We tend to come for them mainly but have never tried dinner here. Of course the bubbly is always a good start. A bottle with three juice options and fresh fruit for adornment. Strawberries and blueberries for the bougie bubbly effect. And for the price, it's worth it. Food wise, we went with the chicken sandwich with salad and the burger with fruit. A side of fries is definitely a must even if it comes with it. Portion for the sandwich was massive. Nice thick piece of grilled and marinaded chicken breast filled with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and avocados on toasted bread. It's massive even when they sliced it in halves. And the burger, two nice patties with lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion and bacon. A classic and it was delicious. I'm not a burger person but every now and then a bite is worth it. The food has alway been excellent. Crowd is alway nice and bubbly. It's cute chit chatting with the other guest nearby. Also we found out that they close for about two months in July and August as that's their holiday time. Glad we made it before it happened. It's a nice place for brunch as it's alway our go to whenever we can't figure out something.

    We had the strangest experience here. We were in town for a friends 40th and we had seen great…read morereviews about The Thirsty Palms. We walked up, no reservation. The lady at the door told us inside would probably be loud because there were two bigger tables in there. It was hot outside, so we decided to sit inside anyway. We almost immediately regretted that and wished we'd sat outside. This place is not made for being busy on the inside. It's just too loud. But, cute in there. Our server, who we later learned was the bartender and not a usual server, took our drink orders. A few of us ordered the Hugo spritz, one gal got a beer, and a few other cocktails were ordered. We got our drinks and they were enjoyable. The problem began when we were ordering food. One girl in our group is Celiac and literally can not eat gluten. She ordered the salmon and asked to be sure the potato salad was gluten free. If things are fried or prepared in the same place as gluten objects, she is incredibly ill for weeks afterwards. She has to be super careful. His response was, "I think so." She told him she was celiac and had a true gluten allergy, and she needed him to be sure. Meanwhile, the menu boasts about how they proudly serve gluten free options right on the bottom. He then said, "yeah, I'm pretty sure it is." He genuinely did not seem concerned. She ended up ordering it but felt uncomfortable about whether or not it was really safe for her. Another girl at the end of the table asked him to please double check, as it was really a serious allergy. He said, "Yeah I am going to ask the chef. I wasn't going to just ignore it and make all you girls mad." He had the snarkiest tone when he said it, and it was incredibly, incredibly rude. That right there gave us a bad taste in our mouths. He came back out and said he checked with the chef, and it was indeed gluten free. Food came out and all tasted good. But when a restaurant prides itself on gluten free options, and then makes it so hard to order, it's not a good look. We wouldn't be back.

I forgot his name but the bartender was very nice and you could tell he likes his job. We got there and ordered a drink, and we're lucky enough to get a free order of some delicious bread sticks. The drink was very tasty for a decent price, so I would come back for more drinks.

It caught our attention as we had stayed in two different Kimpton Hotels in Seattle prior. We wanted to grab a drink at the Window Bar (not knowing that was its actual name, but the conversation we had with the bartender about that window shining too much light at certain parts of the morning definitely gave me a chuckle in hindsight). We happened to be a bit early since he had not been able to finish setting up shop yet. We went ahead and waited until he was ready without rushing him because we ourselves weren't in any rush at all. Surrounded by a ton of nice interesting artwork, it was a pure joy to enjoy a drink or two in this environment. The bar can be found at the corner on the other side of the hotel concierge in plain sight from such a big space for a lobby, directly left upon entrance through the front. Since it was slow in the morning, we were able to chat it up with the bartender and even explore a bit of experimentation in the form of a particular top secret cocktail that every mixologist knows. I definitely exercised my etiquette and reading the conditions to even suggest it. He couldn't be any nicer about our time with him. So yeah, Christopher H. from 9/9/18, I don't know what you're talking about. I make it a point to visit the bar at any Kimpton location nowadays. I always seem to have a good time. But then again, I can only speak for myself. Parking: Street, unless you're a guest at the hotel. FYI: - Despite the hours on Yelp saying this place is open from 4-10pm, they might open earlier, as we joined in at around 11am or noon. But don't hold me to it. If there's somebody at the bar, you'll need to simply ask if it is open yet.
