    Dessert Duo with apple streusel and a chocolate Kahlua dome with caramel sauce.
    Roger S.

    We dined tonight at Copley's during Restaurant Week here in Palm Springs. Copley's is both upscale and casual, with a romantic patio featuring desert plants, a fire-pit, and mountain views under the stars. The building was originally the guesthouse/pool house of Cary Grant. The outdoor courtyard used to be the pool area for the estate. The restaurant opened here in December 2004. The Restaurant Week three-course menu offered a variety of options for each course. Our group each ordered the Copley's Caesar Salad consisting of romaine hearts tossed in house-made Caesar dressing, topped with shaved Parmesan and anchovy's (for Ernie and me). The surprise was the pineapple croutons -- chunks of fresh pineapple coated in a mixture of corn flour, rice flour, cornmeal, and paprika. The coated pineapple is then fried until golden brown and used as a unique topping for a Caesar salad. Amazing. As for entrees, three of us ordered the Crispy Chicken Schnitzel and one ordered the Barramndi. Both were outstanding. Finally our table tried both dessert course options, the apple streusel and chocolate duo and the toffee and date English sticky pudding. Yum. Service was spot on, lead by our adorable waiter Eric and the other staff who were friendly and attentive.

    I dine at Copley's every time I visit P.S. The food is always piping hot and delicious and the servers really know how to time the arrival of each course. The outdoor seating under large, beautiful trees is mesmerizing. I started with the Greek salad. The portion was perfect for one - not too filling. It came with grilled octopus, spiced mango and spiced feta. The oregano dressing was really the hit of this dish, sweet yet earthy. I'd love to have the recipe. My main course was the seafood fettuccini. It was lightly covered in a Romesco sauce (red pepper sauce that is Smokey and nutty) but it was a little too light for my liking. Not enough bite! However, the fresh octopus, salmon and jumbo shrimp were hot and tender. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Despite my disappointment with the sauce this dish was still a "10" no doubt. My friend ordered the pork chop. It was tender, delicious and cooked perfectly. Definitely see the photos. Copley's cannot get better than it already is. BTW our dinner bill was the lowest since we've been in town.

    Dinner at Copley's was one of those rare Palm Springs nights where everything just... worked. Atmosphere-wise, the entrance alone gives you that tucked-away garden energy--intimate, slightly romantic, but still social. It feels like you found something, not like you followed a crowd. First off--no reservation, and still got seated on a Sunday. That alone deserves a moment, because if you know the scene here, that's practically a small miracle. It set the tone immediately: welcoming, unpretentious, but still very much elevated. Service was sharp without being stiff. Attentive, intuitive, and paced exactly right. No hovering, no disappearing act--just that effortless flow you want when you're out to enjoy yourself. They accommodated my request at the bar for a spicy non alcoholic lemonade and upon bringing it over compliments the drink saying " this looks good, you're on to something " #delicious Now the food. Visually, every plate came out composed like it knew it was being watched. The seared tuna was the standout and my personal choice. It also happened to be the special that evening. Perfectly rare, clean cuts, sitting in a rich, glossy sauce that actually complemented instead of overpowering. Balanced, not messy. The braised short rib was deeply comforting--tender, well-executed, with a sauce that leaned classic rather than overly trendy. Smart choice. Dessert sealed it. That dense, lavendercake with the green tea ice cream was indulgent without crossing into heavy. Sweet, but controlled. The kind of finish that makes you slow down instead of regret your life choices.

    The location is great with easy access and plenty of free parking. The courtyard dining is perfect with tables spaced out for private conversations and quiet. Service is stellar from the greeting to the waitstaff. The bar is ready to make anything you want. Food is prepared to order and near perfection.

    Amazing Restaurant Week Prix Fixe dinner, 5/30/26. Our appetizer w the Ahi Tacos and the Beet Salad. Taco were the best tasting I've ever had....beet salad was outstanding as well. Our mains were the Salmon on a bed lobster mashed potatoes with huge chunks of lobster. My husband had the shrimp/fish dish...he throughly enjoyed that. Our waiter was very pleasant, EJ/RJ or something like that. The pace of our evening was perfectly timed...very relaxing and unrushed. Special mention of the hostess this evening. Very pleasant...and when seating...gave us and others the option of two different tables. I like that. She did this a number of times while seating customers...I could see and actually heard her. We were seated on the north side patio near the small fountain...so I could see and hear everything. We're new to the area...and we'll definitely be back!

    We had the best meal here! The setting was gorgeous and perfect to kick off a birthday weekend. We ordered a ton of food and shared for the table and it was a verifiable feast. Our server was seasoned, on pointe and ready whenever necessary to deliver a great experience. The whole meal was a beautiful dining experience that left us full, happy, and satiated. I should have wrote this sooner so I remember the dishes we loved but the experience as a whole was a great place to enjoy and celebratory dinner. The salmon, the Cesar, the steak, the pork chop - all delicious!

    Solid 5! Located close to the heart of Palm Springs. Easy parking in a dedicated parking lot. Charming venue. Wonderful menu selection with options for everyone. Delicious food. Outstanding service! My group of three visited on a Tuesday evening. When we arrived, it was light outside. By the time we left, it was dark and the beautiful twinkle lights lit up the expansive outdoor dining area, making it look magical. Dogs are allowed on the patio. :) Since it was hot during our visit, we chose to sit inside. The indoor dining area was a bit smaller, but simple and charming. The vibe was relaxed and social. There were several groups celebrating special occasions. Some dressed in semi-formal attire. We selected the Pot Stickers, Manhattan Steak, 2 Beet Salads, the Sesame Seed Crusted Tofu, the Ahi Special. Everything came out in the proper order and in a timely matter. Our food was artistically plated and in good portion. The steak was generously sized looking larger than stated on the menu. The sauces, flavors and textures of everything was incredibly delicious! Our server, Raymond B., was exceptional. He was polite, friendly and perfectly attentive, not annoyingly attentive as some can be. Pricing was reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. Thank you Raymond B. and the entire Copleys' team!

    Took some of the pork chop and duck to go, because of how fantastic proportion size was!
    Rick S.

    Absolutely top notch service, and some of the best tasting food that we've had anywhere. To have such incredible food and yet be so humble as to treat everybody so well, it's truly the Mark of a great restaurant. Also, the prices were very reasonable for what you get. The pork chop was delicious. The duck was incredibly succulent. Fantastic homemade bread and ice cream. Definitely one of our new favorite places anywhere!

    Came here on a girls trip. I had the special/short rib. And the portion was large and the short rib was perfectly cooked. The service was amazing and attentive. Very luxurious. One of my favorite places thus far

    Grace M.

    One of the best dinners I've had in my life! Starting out with the venue, it was so pretty at night, the place had a great vibe! People were really friendly. The staff is top notch! Polite, friendly, helpful. Every drink and dish we ordered from appetizers to dessert was just amazing!! The presentation, the taste and the portion were big! So unexpected from an upscale restaurant to have big portions. If you haven't been to this place, you must go!

    A Palm Springs landmark restaurant with an unmatchable vibe! If you visit Palm Springs, then a reservation at Copley's is almost a mandatory requirement because it is the epitome of the restaurant scene here. Food (4.5/5) Expect New American cuisine when dining here. There are some daily specials, but the menu items have remained the same for years and are still delicious. Mandatory orders at this restaurant include the bread and butter for two, Copleys Caesar salad, and the New York steak. One of the most famous menu items at this restaurant is the Copleys Caesar salad because instead of regular bread croutons, the restaurant uses pan fried pineapple chunks as the replacement for the bread croutons. The combination breaks the conventional barriers of a traditional Caesar salad and is one of their more creative items to order (do not miss out on this!) The New York steak is also a solid choice here for a hearty meal and the caramelized onions on top pair with the steak perfectly. The truffle Parmesan fries are a little overkill but can be shared generously with the table. The dessert selection is interesting because the chocolate soufflé is more of a molten lava cake than an actual soufflé; yet, the dish itself is not too bad flavor wise. Out of all the items on the dessert menu I'd still order the chocolate soufflé as it was not too heavy compared to the other options. Service (4/5) The service is a little spotty since the restaurant is almost entirely outdoors in a large courtyard. If the restaurant is busy, expect to wait to find your waiter or get a water refill. The workers here are always in a good mood and are knowledgeable of the menu as well. Ambiance (5/5) A truly one of a kind restaurant inside the Cary Grant Estate where diners get incredible views of the San Jacinto mountain range (plan your reservation near sunset for an incredible experience). The old school charm of this restaurant makes for a special occasion as well. Opt out for the limited indoor seating and sit in the outdoor courtyard so you can take advantage of the outdoor views. Limited bar seating is available for people without a reservation, but I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation online as the restaurant is usually fully booked throughout the year.

    Probably one of the better restaurant experiences I've had. The food is phenomenal. The view is great no matter where you sit. The cocktails are great and the menu has a little something for everyone. The pictures are self explanatory

    Duck with V a miso glaze
    Adam C.

    First, the ambience under the stars in Palm Springs makes you feel incredibly relaxed. The cocktails were handcrafted and tasted superb. We ordered the duck and the bermundi fish and we were blown away by the freshness of the meats and the delicious flavors of the dish. A wonderful romantic night out in Palm Springs. We had a fantastic server who provided great insights.

    Is it comfortable outside at 7:00 in late June?

    Depends entirely on your personal climate preferences. At 7am yes...LOL. Seriously , at 7pm in… 

    Are dress shorts allowed on these hot summer nights?

    Yes

    Is happy hour only sitting at the bar, and does the happy hour still exist? I see the menu on Yelp but not on their website. Thank you

    No happy hour 2024

    Is the outdoor seating cold in December?

    I was only there in summer but can say it would be chilly in December since it's open. They do have heaters so that would help I'm sure. It would be beautiful outside for sure.

    Looking for a delicious restaurant in Palm Springs for my girlfriends birthday, would you recommend this spot?

    We really enjoyed it!! Salmon on point!! Cold corn soup amazing!! Chicken was good but could have been more flavorful!! Recommend!!!

They don't pick up the phone at all, so don't bother calling. They do, however, take walk-ins if you're willing to wait. All part of the optics and over hype. We brought our own bottle of Veuve and they were great about putting it on ice for us and opened it for us so we could sip while we waited for a table. All excellent, but it came at a $49 corkage fee before tip! Geez! When we were seated, the host made a big deal about our birthdays gave us BOTH handwritten birthday cards and told the waiter to take good care of us because we were celebrating a double birthday and seated us at a center spot at the bar, which we loved! A hit! Overall, the service and ALL the staff were great, but to be honest. some of the food was hit and miss. The menu is somewhat underwhelming. They seem to be mostly known for their deviled eggs. Okay, I love a deviled egg, but so what? Every time I'd ask anyone about Bar Cecil, they'd say, "Well. their deviled eggs are good." We should have known then, but we wanted to see for ourselves what the hype was about. It's French because they serve, escargot, steak frites, and caviar service, but it's really a bunch of different food items that aren't really cohesive -- deviled eggs with dates and sage, Thai curry muscles, smoke pork chop, cacio e pepe. WTF? The best things we had were the oysters, grilled artichokes and the Bernaise sauce on the steak frites was spot on, but the steak itself was chewy and difficult to cut with a steak knife -- a miss that could have been a hit. Not worth the price point. We also ordered the Thai curry muscles, which were really good until the last six muscles, which were sandy and gritty. Again another miss, that could have been a hit. The waiter did take them off the bill, but then at the very end of our "double birthday celebration," the waiter asked, "Are you ready for desert?" My friend responded, "Well, I'm pretty full. Is it complimentary?" And he responded, "It is, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise." So we both ordered desert -- I ordered a "special" desert that wasn't on the menu. A cookie ice cream thing and she ordered the pavlova. Mine was okay. She loved hers. Again it could have been a massive hit-- instead it was a massive miss! We were charged $27 for our two "complimentary" deserts before tax and tip! Oh well, we didn't haggle and paid our bill, but only tipped 20%. We would have tipped an extra $50-$100 because it was our birthdays and we would have tipped all the comped amounts to the wait staff, figuring we would have paid those costs plus tax and tip on top of that. Too bad. Overall, I wouldn't wait in long lines any time soon for this experience. It's was just a meh for us.

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.
