5/5 - Don't miss Mr. Parker's We had an amazing dinner at Mr. Parker's in Palm Springs at the Parker Hotel. This place is top-notch. Service was impeccable - attentive but not hovering. Very classy, old-school vibe. For starters we had the crab cake which was OUT OF THIS WORLD and the oysters were fresh and delicious. For my entree I had the filet - cooked perfectly, tender, with a great sauce. The side of macaroni and cheese with jalapeños had just the right kick. And even the bread service was memorable - they bring what looks like a candle to the table, you light it, and it's actually butter that melts onto the plate that you dip your bread into. Such a cool touch. For dessert we had the tiramisu which was also very interesting and delicious. A couple things to know: Very strict dress code is enforced. Guys need a sports coat and a collared shirt, ladies in nice dresses. But that's part of what makes it feel special. It's not stuffy, just classy. Overall a fantastic night and well worth checking out if you're in Palm Springs. read more

Bruce is the best thing about this restaurant!! My husband and I have been coming to this hotel for several years now and we love going to Mr. Parker and seeing Bruce because he always finds the best wines for us. Who do you luv?? BRUCE!! read more

Dinner at Mister Parker's for my birthday was an excellent choice. The ambiance is incredible and memorable. It's well done and intentional, with some shock and wow factor elements. Their food is delicious and the wine list is impeccable. I felt like I was in a dream or in another decade. Service was excellent. Our server forgot to give us dinner menus and comped our appetizer to make up for the wait. I would go back here again for any sort of occasion. read more

We are at Mr. Parker's for a board meeting so we had a large group of about 30 people. We were in a special side room, but the noise level was quite loud in the restaurant. The food was very good and the highlight was the dessert as they came and did baked Alaska flaming at your table. Sorry about the pictures being so dark it was dark in that room read more

The decor was awesome, but the food and the service left a lot to be desired. For a high priced meal I really want to expect more of the service and the actual food. There were so many servers around but no one greeted our table or said they were sending our server soon. We asked about 3 people for a menu aside from a pricey wine list. We finally did get a server about 15-20 minutes in despite the place being well staffed. He was fine and knowledgeable about my needs for gluten free items and what I could and couldn't have. The food was definitely expensive with small portions. I got the "duck breast" but it was two small slices, not the entire duck breast. The chicken my sister had was a larger portion but not super good. The duck was ok, but not $55 good for two small pieces. There was a tiny piece of endive and a smear of some bland purée. The decor is really great and goes with the hotel, but for this price I'd say go elsewhere. Good for food allergies but meh. Just ok on food and service for quality. read more

Came here for the first time and did not disappoint! The ambiance is very intimate and service was great. Loved the little touches like the lights for the menu. Everything we got was great. read more

Food wasn't great. Service was slow. They actually forgot about us and never came to take our order until we flagged someone down. I had a button down shirt on and they made me wear a borrowed ugly jacket. But then I noticed other people walk in without jackets and they said nothing. The place looks cool, and has a vibe, but if you are looking for good food don't come here. Only think I liked was the candle that was made of butter and tallow I think and when it melted you dipped your giant load of bread in it. That was tasty. Otherwise I wouldn't come back. read more

5 Stars - A perfect birthday dinner at Mister Parker's From the moment we arrived, the evening felt special. Aaron and his team provided flawless service--warm, attentive, and perfectly timed--making our birthday celebration truly memorable. We started with craft cocktails (a classic Old Fashioned and a perfectly balanced Sidecar) and a glass of silky Pinot Noir. Dinner was outstanding: the steak was melt-in-your-mouth tender, the crab cake rich with sweet lump crab, the roast chicken perfectly seasoned and juicy, and the salad fresh and bright. We capped the night with decadent chocolate cake that was as beautiful as it was delicious. The setting is pure Parker Palm Springs--intimate, stylish, and full of mid-century charm. Every detail, from the music to the plating, felt intentional. If you're looking for an elegant spot where service and cuisine shine equally, Mister Parker's delivers. Highly recommended for a special night out. read more

We are so disappointed...we made reservations months ago for when we would be visiting P.S. no body ever said a word about men needing to wear jackets & that sandals aren't allowed until just now right before our reservations. So we called & cancel based on that new info. We then get a text saying that they have jackets for men in that instance...why didn't the gentleman on the phone also offer up that info...very disappointed. read more

My friends and I had an unbelievable dinner here after dining at Norma's in the morning. We were able to snag at 7:30 pm reservation on a Sunday evening for Mister Parker's. Upon arrival, we noticed that the space was dimly lit, creating a sexy, moody vibe. As we were seated, we were given menus and little handheld flashlights to view the menu with. I thought that was such a unique and fun personal touch. The resident sommelier came over and introduced himself and chatted with us for a bit. We all decided to start with a glass of wine. When our waitress brought the wine over, she also brought a small candle to our table and lit it. She came back a few moments later with warm sourdough bread. She said the candle was made out of beef fat butter and we could literally pull the bread apart and dip it into the butter candle. (I'm super impressed at this point lol). For my appetizer, I ordered the Lobster Bisque. The way it was presented was so fun. A server brought out a bowl with lobster pieces and dollops of creme fraiche and then he poured the bisque into the bowl. To top it over, one of the lobster pieces had a little bump of caviar. So good! For my entree, I ordered the 7 oz Prime Filet Mignon, which comes with chanterelles, bone marrow butter, and duxelles. The steak was cooked to perfection and everything was seasoned well. We opted out of dessert as we were very full, but the waitress brought us each a homemade blueberry muffin (individually wrapped) that the chef made earlier in the day. It was the perfect treat to eat for breakfast the next morning. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had. I will come back here again and again whenever I visit Palm Springs. Even if you're not staying at the Parker, do yourself a favor and dine here. Ps the music was on point too! read more

Loved the melted butter candle with their soft baked break. Comes complimentary and was a very clever bit of gastrointestinal creativity. I had the scallops that was out of this world . A must try. Service was exceptional and you were given mini flashlights to review the menu. A bit gimmicky but a cool divergence from the usual frustrations of dining in a low lit environments. Be sure to make reservations beforehand. read more

Worst experience in a supposed luxury restaurant. An 8:00 PM reservation turned into a 9:00 PM seating, despite paying $70 for a table that was promised as a four top and ended up being a two top. Water service took another 10 minutes after we were finally seated. Duck empanadas ordered at the bar took 30 minutes, arrived at the table, and were hard as hockey pucks. What makes it worse is the attitude, charging premium prices while operating as if guests should simply accept poor execution. Completely disorganized, overpriced, and nowhere near luxury. read more

From the moment we stepped into Mr. Parker's at the Parker Hotel in Palm Springs, we knew we were in for something special--but nothing could have prepared us for just how extraordinary the experience would be. Let's start with the martinis: ice-cold, perfectly balanced, and exactly how a martini should be. They set the tone for what became an unforgettable evening. Now, the ribeye. I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best I've ever had--expertly cooked, richly flavorful, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. Every bite was a reminder of how a steakhouse classic can become a culinary masterpiece in the right hands. And the fresh sourdough bread? Absolutely to die for--warm, crusty on the outside, pillowy on the inside, and served with just the right touch of salted butter that came in the shape of a candle with an actual flame! The atmosphere was intimate yet lively, and every detail--from the lighting to the music--was clearly curated to enhance the experience. A heartfelt thank you to General Manager Victor Ruiz, whose leadership and attention to detail shine through in every aspect of the restaurant. His presence elevated the entire experience, and it's clear that his team shares his commitment to excellence. We can't wait to return. Mr. Parker's is not just a restaurant--it's a destination. read more

Such a cool spot! Exclusive dining experience in Palm Springs. Great food, not a bad bite. Excellent service and a very very cool vibe inside. Loved all the different art on the walls. read more

For a place that wants a $50.00 "reservation fee" this place certainly disappoints! After being greeted and getting drinks we did not see any food for an hour and 45 minutes except for a good small loaf of bread set down...the server did not however tell us the candle he set down was made of butter and bone marrow, for the bread. When we finally questioned what was taking so long, the waiter stated the kitchen was "backed up", and gave us another round of drinks on the house. When the food finally came, it was adequate only. A vegan dish was made consisting of not quite done risotto, small portion, $48. The side of asparagus we had with our entree was at least half woody stems which were inedible. Very disappointing, and we will never go back. One small nicety, a dessert for our special occasion was given, but by that time, we did not feel like celebrating. A place that full of themselves had better have excellent food and service! This did not. read more

Totally incredible experience and the ambiance is something I wish every restaurant had! We came in during our last vacation to Palm Springs. I had never been to the Parker before but really wish we would have stayed there because the complex is amazing and really cool. The bread with candle butter is something we routinely still talk about, as it was something that I'd never had before. Also loved the scallops and the salad too. The baked Alaska was a total standout and something I'd really recommend if you're dining here. The presentation is super cool too. All in all really recommend this place! read more

Very unimpressed. They think they are clever there and have you buy a specific table ($70) but we arrived and they made us what an hour for said table. Then we sat a while before anyone came to welcome us. I think this is one of those typical situations where they believe arrogance and being inconsiderate build scache. That may work with insecure people but it does not float well with the well traveled. read more

We dined here last Sunday evening with family. There were a total of 9 of us so we were a large party. We were seated quickly and realized that they had a strict dress code of dinner jackets required for men. Not a problem as they had a loaner. Quite hysterical as it was a black jacket with a pink/red shiny paisley pattern. Quite the razzle dazzle and probably something a magician would wear for a show. Lol. Anyways, the ambiance was great and very speak easy lounge style with low lighting, low ceilings, mirrored coffered ceiling and vintage looking light fixtures. Very cool and swanky. The food was wonderful. A limited menu but something for everyone. A bit pricey for the portions of the entrees but very tasty nonetheless. To start was a great round loaf of bread and a butter/tallow candle. Unique and tasty... Some of us shared starters of the salad lyonnaise and the jumbo lump crab cakes. The crab cake was one of the best I have ever tasted. Very delicious and not full of filler so you can actually taste the delicate crab meat. Yum! We all ordered either the filet mignon or the halibut. Each cooked to perfection and was terrific! The sides of the tempura Brussels sprouts and the Yukon gold mashed potato's were both delicious too. The sauce with the Brussels sprouts were some of the best we had. We also had the asparagus, it was good but nothing special. We also had a couple slices of the chocolate cake which were rich and delectable. The service was overall okay. They made a mistake on one of the entree orders, but fixed it as quickly as possible. It was noisy and they were super busy so that could have been part of the small service issues. However, they made it right so can't complain about that. The manager, Victor, is fabulous, and made the evening even more wonderful. We will be back! read more

I attempted to make a reservation. I was led to the Peak reservation system. The charge to make a reservation was $70.00! This is NOT refundable or applied to the cost of the meal- it is a fee to get a reservation. (Note that if you cancel late, they add an additional $75.00!) I couldn't believe it so I called - it was confirmed- just a cost of a reservation. I will not be eating here-ever. read more

Service and food absolutely exceptional. Sadly my dad passed a few days before booked this months ago to spoil my husband. I felt special in the beautifully designed space, It was an amazing evening! read more

Jonathan Adler did an amazing job design decorating the interior of this hotel. I love the artwork, the 70s era vibe, patterns/textiles/vibrant colors.

Amazing dining experience! EXPERIENCE, a true dining experience! This was impromptu visit as we did not have plans and had an anniversary to celebrate! I had just recently heard enticing details about an item on the menu and knew that I wanted to/HAD TO try it! Ordered the Lobster Pappardelle... we were blown away, this dish alone would have been enough for me to say 15/10 but there was so much more! From arrival to end of the evening, we had nothing but excellent service!! From start to finish- nothing but perfection and felt like true VIPs. Personality, professionalism, courtesy, what a great welcome! Delia was our server, another star!! How can she keep such a genuine and bright smile?! She was knowledgeable, fully versed on EVERYTHING on the menu! immediately answered my questions and made suggestions. Her colleague Brandon, who also took care of us was also a delight! Attentive service, made us feel like VIPs! Ok, I can go on and on, I have so much to say but will wrap up with these notes : Oysters- must try! The homemade hot sauce, amazing!!!!! Octopus -- another hit! Unique in its entirety, I remember : poached and grilled = perfection! Lobster Pappardelle - this is specifically what I was there for... TO.DIE.FOR... the sauce, the lobster, topped off w caviar!! What a treat!! A MUST try ASAP!! Truffle Potato - you have no idea! A++++++ Brussel Sprouts - what genius came up with these?! Wow!! And then the sauce, oh my! I REALLY, REALLY wanted dessert but there was just no way, the portions were generous and just as we always do, ordered more than we could handle- no regrets! I must share with the world, the good news! mister parker's worth the wait, we got lucky to get in same-day!! Can't wait to be back! Dimmed, private, romantic + perfect playlist and very unique design overal!! a great way to celebrate ... the BEST place to celebrate! read more

First things first, shout out to our server Paul. He was a delight. This place was very aesthetically pleasing. Dimly lit, well decorated, AMAZING playlist. You do need a button up shirt or blazer to get in, if you don't have one they have loaners. My date had to wear a loaner. The jacket was gold and black and SO extra. On to the food... presentation wise everything was beautiful. There were a lot of very creative and fun touches. Everything was cooked perfectly but overall I would say most of the things we ordered lacked salt. the menu was pretty small. Everything on it sounded delicious. I just feel at that price point everything should be seasoned perfectly. But overall really fun experience. read more

Over priced and too much noise. Tables are too close to each other. Cheesecake Factory in Rancho Mirage is much better to go!

Mister Parker's brought me back in time! The elegant, "speak easy", yet hip atmosphere, the impeccable dress of the staff, the fabulous service of the entire team.... the graciousness and professionalism of the GM, Victor Ruiz.... the Food that everyone raved about! Everything was beautifully presented and impressive to our entire group that we dined with! Bravo To the entire Staff of Mister Parker's and Bravo To the amazing Chef! Thank you for a beautiful experience! read more

This restaurant deserves recognition and can be considered a destination dining experience. The Palm Springs aesthetic is alive and well in this room with mirrored ceiling and dark ambiance punctuated with groovy vibes. Aside from the circuses, the wait staff is poised and professional and you can imagine Frank Sinatra holding court with the perfect gin martini, excellent limited but impeccable menu and flaming baked Alaska. Bruce Bartles, the som has a great sense of humor balanced with sober expertise. Wear your sequins, your feathers, patterns and a jacket is required for men which is a really nice old school rule. read more

Mister Parker's offers a memorable, delicious fine dining experience. I grabbed a last minute reservation in April 2023 and the same on a busy Friday night the first weekend of December 2023. They were not planning on us, nor did we have demanding expectations. Each meal - from the impeccable service to the wine recommendations to the food was perfection in every respect. More than that the service is personalized and truly enjoyable. The waiters are knowledgable and very engaging in a way that results in consistent, very professional and formal service, but also makes it fun. If staying at the Parker, dinner there makes for a complete evening - from cocktails to a nightcap and everything in between. It's romantic, perfect for a girls night out or a classic choice for a group dinner with otherwise strangers on a business trip or a small group of couples. Everything you have to drink or eat will be divine. If not, they will correct it or replace it with something that is perfect for you. Mister Parker's is very special. I hope to visit again soon and wish their team the best in the meantime. read more

ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR Yelp reviews on Mister Parkers seem wildly inconsistent and terribly out dated so I frankly did not know WHAT to expect... Last nite our party of 4 had a truly magnificent experience. The beautiful ambiance is that of a dark, dimly lit tuck & roll steakhouse; the highly attentive service is exceptional from start to finish; the craft cocktails were perfect; and each phase of the dining experience was carefully and dramatically entertaining. I started with a Whiskey Sour, moved Burrata with Heirloom tomatoes, and had the scallops as my main course. All were the absolute best I have ever had. The evening was filled with amazing and pleasant surprises which, along with our service, left indelible memories through their creative and unique touches. I highly recommend Mr. Parker's for an exceptional culinary adventure and an unforgettable experience!!! read more

Biggest issue was the dark, comfortable, old style classic upscale restaurant playing disco music loudly enough I could no hear my dinner companions across the table. Why not classic Sinatra? Very expensive but we expected that. There are several very expensive venues in the valley that seem to allow the meal to be more of a symphony and less of a collection of disconnected notes. Yes, food was very good. Worth the price? Other locations might be more deserving of your hard earned dollars. Service was very good, but the staff's inability to turn down sound system to the point that one could converse with dinner companions. It took three requests and my son-in-laws personal visit with the maitre d' to get anyone to respond. If you are from out of town and are required to spend a lot of money on clients. This is your place. If you are a Valley resident, there are better choices. read more

Bizarrely poor service for the price. I ordered from the prix fixe and they couldn't even be bothered to serve me all of the (only!) three items offered. They did update the bill to reflect the a la carte price at a premium close to the original total. Food was overall acceptable but the mashed potatoes were gummy and notably the worst I've had anywhere and the Brussels should have been cooked to tender instead of raw. I did have to ask to be served the sides we ordered as they lagged behind and no one seemed to remember. Good cocktails and the service was friendly even though we didn't get the food we ordered. read more

The concluding dinner of my three-night business trip to Parker Palm Springs was at Mister Parker's, which was (and still is) closed to the public until later this year. They opened the restaurant to us for our private event. The decor is interesting. As I said in my review of the resort itself, everything has a mid-century bent with a bordering-on-tacky eccentricity. The art in Mister Parker's is kind of cool, with pop art, pinups, and more covering nearly every inch of open wall space. The mirrored ceilings reflect the dark furniture, carpeting, and dim lighting to create a warm ambiance. This was definitely a cocktail dress and jacket and tie sort of place. We weren't told what we would be eating before dinner, so the entire meal was a surprise (this also means I can't tell you exactly what I had and will have to describe it in detail). The appetizer was a savory tart with a base of some sort of cheese (possibly goat), topped with frisée, tomatoes, and balsamic vinegar. The crust was buttery and flakey, and overall it was a success, though the amount of cheese was almost a bit overwhelming due to its thick texture. The main course was an extremely tender, boneless hunk of beef. I'm tempted to just call it elevated pot roast, because that's pretty much what it was. A big chunk of beef in the middle of the plate on top of a sauce, smothered in gravy, served with root vegetables. While the meat was cooked perfectly and really good, it was also somewhat of a bland dish that really would've benefitted from a starch, like mashed potatoes. Just serving a chunk of meat and a handful of vegetables isn't very interesting. Dessert was way too sweet. It was a cake with an ice cream shell, shaped like a candy bar. Chocolate on chocolate. It was just overwhelming in its sweetness and I couldn't get beyond one bite. This was really disappointing because I'm a huge dessert person and love sweets, but even I have my limits. The waiters and waitresses were kind of sullen, silently gliding in to bring food and then disappearing, never saying a word. Never came back around except to clear plates when it was time to bring out the next course. Since it was a private event, the staff were operating a little differently than if we were dining during normal service, but it was kind of bizarre and felt almost like the restaurant told them they needed to blend into the background and couldn't dare bring attention to themselves. Overall, just an ok meal. Nothing very memorable, unique, or anything I'd be dying to go back to try. read more

Such a cool little spot in the hotel/resort The Parker. The atmosphere was dark and sexy, with fun art on the wall, and mirrors on the ceiling. The food was delicious and the service was great. They even gave my husband a little pin on his jacket since we were staying at the hotel. read more

A truly disappointing experience. Failed on so many levels there is no way to recommend this restaurant. As locals and avid diners, we can tell you that there are so many alternatives that are better and deserve your business. A restaurant like this that treats you like you are lucky to overspend on their mediocre service and food needs to live up to the experience they purport to provide. We are not difficult at all, but when you are paying $24 for a regular well drink and $100 per person (or more) for dinner, it is not unrealistic to expect that you will get a fantastic level of service and quality - apparently not at Mr. Parker's. They clearly know that most of their patrons are tourists who won't be return visitors so they don't need (or strive for) repeat business. Truly disappointing. If you had been to Mr.Parker's years ago and think you are going to have the experience they originally built their reputation on, you will likely be disappointed. Then there's the reservation system that they force you to use (Peak) that charges you for the privilege of making a reservation. Don't believe that this reservation fee is a "deposit" that will apply to your bill. Not at all, it is just a charge for the privilege of getting a reservation. The joke of it is there were plenty of empty tables, but when you make your reservation you would think you are "lucky" you were able to pay to reserve one. If the experience were worth it, it would be fine to pay for the reservations. It's not and don't waste your money. To top it all off, we expressed our dissatisfaction to the manager - not with anger and not with the expectation of getting anything for free - truly as constructive criticism that you would think a good manager would want to know. Instead of being apologetic or appreciative, he was condescending and told us they've booked up for the past two months and didn't really need or care for our opinion and to just deal with it. Ironically, he said this to us while standing at our table that had so many plates and glasses that hadn't been bussed in a half hour and thought nothing of it. They claim to have a high end experience but have no training in what that means - clearly a problem from the top down. Palm Springs is the place of so many unique and fantastic upscale restaurants that are so much better than this. Unless you are just looking for a restaurant that is decorated super cool and used to have a good history, do yourself the favor of going to discover the ones that truly deliver on the dining experience, not this one that is just trying to capitalize on the success of their history without delivering on their promise. read more

This restaurant needs to change their reservation system!!!! We made a reservation yesterday September 10 for September 29th and paid $50.00 for a corner booth in the main dining room. Our clients decided they wanted to dine at a different restaurant so I canceled the reservation September 11th. I was informed that by canceling this reservation I would not receive a refund of the $50.00!!!!! That is absolutely ridiculous and we will never dine at this restaurant and will never recommend this restaurant to clients. read more
