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.

Greek Salad

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.

Short rib

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.

Courtyard dining area
Rich C.

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!

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!

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!

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

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!

Appetizers, lobster Mac & cheese, truffle fries, butternut squash soup
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!

Manhattan cocktail

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.

Tuna special
Kellie F.

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.

Ask the Community - Copley's

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!!!

SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

This meant Marilyns everywhere, including the waiters, which made the experience that much more fun. Aside from that, we had made reservations ahead of time thankfully, because it was BUSY. But we were sat just as soon as we had arrived, and despite it being very hot out at the time, they had a bunch of shaded spots with misting fans. The drinks were fantastic, including mine which was a zero-proof mocktail. We all ordered different chicken dishes, and each one received high praise. I was able to try each of them and I was very happy with my fajitas, but I gotta give the nachos their dues. They were just as good. Chips were crispy all the way through, and not one was soggy from all the ingredients. Loved it, will definitely be back when I visit again. Id also like to mention that we chose this place as my friend's Bachelor Party closing dinner, and he couldn't have been happier. He was so thrilled with how the weekend had gone, that dining at Clandestino's really was the cherry on top. Thank you for making our dining experience such a pleasant one.

A flawless, five-star gastronomic masterclass in PS!…read more After finally scoring a coveted reservation, the entire experience blew us away from the second the host greeted us. We were immediately whisked away into a night of unrivaled service and culinary perfection. Tucked away in one of Palm Springs' most charming shopping plazas, this meal was easily the highlight of my week. The menu is brilliantly varied, but a few dishes truly stole the show. The grilled artichoke is a classic, but their execution of it is completely elite. The Halibut main was a revelation--hands down the best I've ever tasted. And you must save room for dessert because the Berries and Cream was worth every single bite. Absolutely delectable. Top it all off with A+++ service from a flawless staff, and this place is worth every bit of the hype.

Reservations are notoriously hard to get, but we got lucky with a last-minute walk-in and were seated after 15-20 min wait. There's plenty of parking, and if you do have to wait, they have a cute little covered outdoor seating area with chairs and tables where you can relax. We sat on the patio, which was surprisingly cool and comfortable, so don't let the Palm Springs heat scare you away. The whole restaurant has such a sexy, colorful, candlelit vibe that somehow feels both lively and intimate. We kept the drinks simple and ordered Hugo Spritzes, which were refreshing and perfectly made for a hot afternoon. What we ordered: * Caramelized Onion Tart (Puff pastry, chive, Comté) - This was recommended by our server and I can see why. It reminded me of French onion soup wrapped in a flaky puff pastry. Rich, savory, and definitely shareable since it is a bit on the heavier side. * Red Thai Curry Mussels (PEI mussels, ginger, garlic, lemongrass, red chile, coconut milk) - WOW. This was hands down my favorite dish. The broth was incredible, rich and packed with flavor without feeling too heavy. I was worried the lemongrass might overpower everything, but it was perfectly balanced. It comes with toasted bread and trust me, you'll want every last drop of that broth. I'd honestly come back just for this dish. * Steak Frites - The steak was cooked perfectly medium and was delicious. The fries were crispy and seasoned well, making it a classic done right. * Broccolini - Simple but really good with a nice char that added great flavor. Overall, we had a great experience. The atmosphere is one of the best parts..beautiful, moody, and full of personality..but the food absolutely held its own. Service was friendly, the patio was comfortable, and now I completely understand why it's one of Palm Springs' hardest reservations to get. Definitely a spot I'd come back to.

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. Most people who wander between the 2 take pause and awe for a few seconds before their mood shifts to match the room. Not a place to get sloppy and party that way unless it's a closed event. It's a great, classic PS lounge for when you have 2 groups of friends who you can entertain, the steakhouse crowd for dinner and the loungers beforehand. Sunsets on the patio under the string lights and couches is rich backyard summertime vibez.

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.
