    Honeynut Squash. Wouldn't recommend it!
    Caro S.

    Reminder- a good vibe only takes you so far. You can't eat a good vibe. This place has so much potential. It's located in the barn/courtyard of the Sparrows Lodge. When you first walk in, it feels a bit disorienting. Walk past the pool and to the barn. The food and inconsistent service made this place a bit of a miss. To start we had an Old Fashioned and a Paper Plane, the cocktails were nice. At first the service seemed attentive. On the recommendation of our server we ordered the Guac & Chips to start and the Honeynut Squash and John Dory as mains. The Guac & Chips were okay, didn't live up tp the hype. My friend enjoyed her John Dory. Sadly, my Squash was flavorless, bland, and wilted. The description oversold me. The only good part of the dish were the see canyon apple chunks. We were seated in the picturesque patio. The night was chilly and the heat lamp was on high. After roasting, I asked the staff to turn it down but they never did. I finally had to switch seats. After our main dishes came it was hard to get anyone's attention to order dessert or get the check (Pro Tip- they don't take cash). Sidebar- the Warm Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dessert was nice but took a very long time. Baked to order felt more like, made from scratch to order. So if you plan on ordering it, do so early or prepare to wait.

    Pork rack with beans
    bonnie l.

    Came here with a group of coworkers and the place was just absolutely beautifully decorated! Warm lights, cozy tables and heat lamps for the outside seating was just amazing. We tried the burrata and the smashed cucumbers, then I had the mole chicken and tried the burger. Everything I had was very well cooked and well seasoned. Tried the pork rack and it was moist and tender! I did hear that the dory was not as well cooked (overdone a bit) and the beans on the pork dish a bit salty which was disappointing to hear. But the best part - warm cookies to end the night! It's a very small restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and thank you to the single waitress who served and helped.

    Place to hang around the fire

    As ALWAYS, the ambiance, food and service was excellent and our server Diego was spot on....

    Loved this place! A little hard to find the entrance if you aren't a guest of the hotel but otherwise a pretty great experience. The staff was so welcoming and the vibe inside was super chill. The food was good (the burger felt balanced and not too heavy) the tuna was honestly just okay.

    Dining area

    Beautiful, serene setting for a memorable dining experience. You really feel like time slows down here! Thoughtful menu and people (Caroline was wonderful). Had been here once before for lunch which was great and tried dinner now. It's a romantic escape and great for small group dinners or dates and good conversation. The cucumber appetizer was too spicy, but the heirloom carrots with pistachio crumble was perfect - texture combo and flavor. The shaved spring salad and agnolotti were delicious. The oven-fresh chocolate chip cookies at the end are a must. Although this is Michelin-starred, it's definitely a casual outdoor atmosphere.

    No access from the street preparing lot.

    Good luck getting in. No obvious entrance. Seems to be a Sparrows Guests-only venue. Very frustrating when it's -05 outside and you think you're going to have a nice lunch. It was a short hot walk from the Saguaro Hotel. Obviously it was a waste.

    Pork chop
    Kate G.

    Super cozy date night spot. Recommend getting a reservation. Food and drink: 5/5. We got the pork chop which was so so good with braised veggies, chicken mole (with tortillas) and a chilled Sangiovese. All were excellent. Service: 5/5 great staff and very attentive with good wine suggestions Ambiance: 5/5 - it was a beautiful day and we sat outside under the shade. We loved that they seated my husband and I on the same side of the table! Value: 5/5- our two entrees and wine were about $100 which is what we would typically spend on a date night. For the quality of food and experience this is definitely worth it. Kids are NOT allowed, so definitely more of a date spot. We were a little bummed by this since I have a breastfeeding infant and it was challenging for us to get here, but it's more of a quiet atmosphere at a 21+ resort so we get it.

    Mussels
    Fatima A.

    We came because it was listed in the Michelin guide. If you get anything here get the mussels. They tasted fresh and were generous with the amount of mussels. It had a great lemon butter sauce that was fatty with great amount of citrus. The mole was sub-par. We honestly wished we didn't order it. It was lacking the heartiness that mole is known for. It was a very "Palm springs" version of the classic dish and it disappointed. Everything else was great.

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.

Strap in to enjoy great cocktails and a delicious dinner. There are, as I recall, daily specials. From its humble roots ( 30-40 years back), this strip mall location is anything but a mall resturant. The aproned and bow-tied bartenders and waitstaff are REALLY good at their assignments. The back bar is ornate and old. Set your expectations high for the quality and presentation of the food. if you're a party of two, the bar is THE best option (perhaps only) and your wait time to order will likely be shorter there. If you're eating at the bar, ask your neighbors what they recommend or what they ordered, and you won't go wrong. Paul Bar is a one-off, not to be missed dining experience in Palm Springs.

If you can't get a reservation, bar seats are first come, first served, and I can see why people line up for them. This was probably the most expensive meal of our trip, and at times you definitely feel it. A Belvedere martini with no vermouth for $27 made me laugh a little. This isn't Vegas. That said, much of the food was excellent. The Duck Liver Pâté was incredible, and the Red Thai Curry Mussels were unique without overwhelming heat. The Cacio e Pepe was one of the standout dishes of the week. Those thick noodles were fantastic. We also ordered the Steak Frites and upgraded to filet. Unfortunately, it came out overcooked, and I asked for it to be removed from the check. On the other hand, the Smoked Bone-In Duroc Pork Chop was perfectly prepared and incredibly moist. Dessert finished strong. The Aniston's Pavlova was excellent, especially the Chantilly cream. The warm chocolate chip cookies were delicious too, although $15 for cookies is definitely a Palm Springs moment. Pricey? Very. Worth experiencing? Absolutely.

Neil was welcoming, accommodating, and personally secured a table for our party of six when we returned after 9pm. His hospitality and the venue concept itself are excellent. Unfortunately, the service we received afterward from another staff member, Billy, did not match that standard. The venue is extremely dark, so we used the small table lamp to read the menu. Billy instructed us not to use it because it "wasn't the vibe of the establishment," and told us to use our phone lights instead. The tone was abrupt and dismissive. Around 9:50pm he announced last call. When one guest ordered, his response was, "I guess if you must." Others asked for a moment to decide and were repeatedly rushed. We explained we weren't aware they closed as 10, as Neil had told us it would be open seating after 10. He replied, "Yeah, well I'm closing tonight and I'm closing at 10." When drinks were delivered, they were set down forcefully. As we were leaving, a member of our group overheard Billy speaking negatively about us to another employee, including mocking someone in our group for needing glasses to read the menu and implying she was intoxicated (she wasn't). When this was addressed directly, he did not apologize and instead insisted we had overstayed, which is inaccurate. We ordered promptly after being told last call and left after finishing our drinks. We are locals who intentionally brought out-of-town guests here because we wanted them to have a great experience. It's disappointing that one staff member's conduct overshadowed what should have been a highlight of their visit. I won't assign motives, but I will note that Billy's demeanor noticeably shifted after the final member of our group, who happens to be Black, arrived. I cannot determine why, only that the change in tone was clear. Neil has created something special here. However, a venue's reputation ultimately depends on how guests are treated when ownership is not present. Based on this visit, there is a significant gap between the hospitality the owner provides and the service delivered in his absence. I hope Neil takes a close look at what happens when he's not present, because with the right staff, this could easily be a place we'd want to return to.

The two-top table near the bar, with mustard-fabric lounge chairs on low spindled "moon-lander" inspired supports seem to have jumped right out of a 60's time machine, matching the retro vibe in the whole place. Our server was delightful, regaling us with her informative descriptions of her favorite dishes... it's fabulous when a server knows the menu so well that they can describe not only what's in the dish, but why it's so good. Cocktails were an obvious strength, and after my first choice, the pear-inspired Akita was regrettably "out of stock" (she informed us that they had run out of the fresh pear syrup they make by hand each day), I was steered to the It's Giving Julius. This boozy take on the classic Orange Julius, with a mouth-watering egg-white-textured foam floating on rum-infused a citrus blast. For Gayle, it was a moment to savor the non-alcoholic "Clutch Your Pearls," complete with boba pearls atop an icy lime-green concoction. The entire restaurant is themed on "American comfort food with an Asian twist." And let me say, they nailed it in every aspect. My bowl of Tteokbokk was a brilliant spin on a classic Rigatoni bowl, subbing Korean rice cakes for pasta and gochujang spiked tomato sauce for marinara, but keeping the rich parmesan/mozzerella cheese. At the server's suggestion, I topped it with fried pork belly, well executed and delicious, the entire bowl was light with an arrabiatta-like kick. My wife had the Garlic Noodles... imagine a creamy bowl of chicken noodle casserole straight out of the 60's, but without a can of Campbell's Cream of Chicken in sight. Velvety sauce glazed perfectly cooked Ramen noodles with vegetables and chicken... took her right back to her mother's kitchen where the same dish was the perfect remedy for the flu - comforting and scrumptuous without being too heavy. And finally having not overstuffed ourselves on this trip, we opted for the "poor life choice" of dessert. And after asking for the "simple plate of milk and cookies," the server corrected me and stated - rightly so - that this was anything but simple. Three stuffed cookies: Red Velvet with cheesecake cream, S'mores with marshmellow, and cinnamon filled Churro - nuggets from Heaven's bakery, with a glass of cold milk. We managed to finish it and roll on out full of some of the best food we've had this year. The only minor hiccup was when trying to buy merch on our way out, the front stand didn't have a terminal to let us pay, so we had to seek out a bartender to run our credit card (and they were super busy). A minor complaint in the grand scheme... get those hosts a card reader! Note: We didn't see a single dog in the place... but they clearly are welcome to 4-legged clientele. Such a fun spot.

We were taken to our table roughly 10-15 minutes after our reservation, which was perfectly fine. When we were seated, we decided on appetizers to order. Our waiter came over and we put in our appetizer order, but said we'd like more time to decide on main courses. The appetizers came out very slowly, and we were then told that one of the orders (the ube focaccia) had run out, so we could get regular focaccia instead, which we did not want to do. Two orders of tuna tacos were brought to our table but we had only ordered one, and on the receipt they made it look as though they "comped" the second order (which was taken back once they realized we hadn't ordered it). We didn't get to order our main dishes for quite some time, and then it took ages for the dishes to come out. They were tasty, but we were getting to the point that we were ready to go home if the food didn't come out within the next few minutes. Once the mains did arrive, my friend asked if there is any rice we could order, and our waiter said yes, but they had just run out. We found this very odd - ube focaccia is one thing, but who runs out of rice? My husband ordered a beer which was never brought to him, and upon getting the bill, my friend said that we didn't receive one of our drinks. The waiter then said "yeah, I forgot about it. But don't worry, it's not on the receipt." Again, strange. Our waiter seemed very disengaged and unapologetic, which I found odd. I can understand that he was busy, but to not apologize for forgetting the drink, running out of one of our appetizers, running out of rice, and waiting a very long time for our dinner seemed strange. Plus, the food was quite expensive (and the portions were relatively small), so it felt especially bizarre that the service was so off. I wouldn't come back because of the service and the price for the portions, but the food did taste very good. I'm disappointed because I wanted to love it here!
