SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways. 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. read more

This place is very cute! They have a cold kitchen only, but the charcuterie board was *chef's kiss.* Good wine selection too, although our red was refrigerated which was a bit odd. Overall I'd be back to try sandwiches and salads! read more

probably would've gave a higher rating if i didn't feel slightly ignored/dismissed by the guy managing the guests on the floor. there was rain so I came inside... He sees me at the door he says hello but he doesn't do anything further... could be too busy to address me any further. ... but he could've handed me a menu. i figured it out and grabbed one myself, wondering if it was only a drink menu. found the area of the menu i was looking for. decided to step outside with it to place it on a table and think where it is quieter since no one is helping me navigate the vegan options. the guy came outside again to look at the wet tables and chairs, didn't ask me if i needed help or was ready to order. i followed him back inside to place my order. it was a pay immediately situation since i couldn't opt to dine in, i guess. idk. it just felt weird at that point tho, since i had to do everything myself. as i was trying to pay, i realized i left my wallet in my luggage instead of purse: Monday between 4-5 p.m. may be THE WORST TIME TO BE AT THIS PLAZA (sewage truck - disgusting smell absolutely permeating the area. so foul. grateful but not grateful for that being done during business hours). ... I could've been offered a seat bc a table cleared, but since i ordered to go, it was given to people who came in after me... understandable, i suppose... but i was only doing to go because there were no seats. i pay and another table clears. i take it before it's bussed to avoid it being given away again. ... i received my to go fairly quickly. i ask if it's okay to eat at the window table-- beautiful on an overcast rainy day. he brings me a water. i feel sort of bad for not leaving a tip earlier, but i've worked to-go: no one tips for to go, and i felt ignored earlier. anyway. ... the food was yummy. we've eaten here before. i was urged to eat there again to share the vicarious experience with another. no regrets in that regard. cauliflower ceviche rainbow bowl yummy. fresh. the cauliflower took a bite or two to get used to bc it had that cruciferous, vegetal cauliflower thing going on more than i'm used to with the cauliflower ceviche at my work. it becomes perfect once the expectation recalibrates. the rainbow bowl is so nice too. spoiler alert: oregano. i liked that. i'm used to bowls that are very plain. this was nice. thank you! repeated just in case this is helpful: Monday between 4-5 p.m. may be THE WORST TIME TO BE AT THIS PLAZA (sewage truck - disgusting smell absolutely permeating the area. so foul. grateful but not grateful for that being done during business hours). it might have been an uncommon occurrence due to the rain though. not sure. if it's a regular thing during that time: BEWARE. get inside and close the doors. lol !!!! ugh. like the guy doing it should announce it or something. imagine outdoor dining as that happens. it was like a half hour of the entire area being unbearably foul AND I'm sure it seeped into everyone's cars. read more

We arrived late and this is one of the few spots open. Farm also was open but we wanted something light. This is a great spot. Friendly staff, wonderful drinks and cool vibes.It was hot night so we opted to stay indoors. The food is delicious. Highly recommend where you want small bites and great drinks! read more

I am actually on vacation, not at work for a change !! I found this gem via Google and Yelp, my two favorite guides! Amazing food and service from the two waiters, I wish I would've gotten their names. It was pouring rain in Palm Springs, the week I decided to go on vacation with my daughter, yet the staff did the best they could on the outdoor seating. They lit the heaters for us, which really warmed things up. Thank you The restaurant is clean, the food is fabulous and the service is great. There is nothing missing. The flavors on the food were incredible. I got a small seasonal salad and an Italian sandwich on gluten-free bread. It was a very filling meal, I tried a new wine at the recommendation of the previous guest. We are here for a week and we will be back!! read more

Absolutely loved The Front Porch in Palm Springs! It's a small but incredibly cozy restaurant with a welcoming atmosphere that makes you want to linger. The seafood was exceptionally fresh--especially the oysters--and every dish we ordered was beautifully presented and absolutely delicious. The watermelon cucumber gazpacho was a standout: refreshing, light, and the perfect dish to cool down during the extreme Palm Springs summer heat. The cocktails were creative and just as impressive as the food. Brian took care of us, and his service was truly five-star--friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Everything tasted fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and full of flavor. We can't wait to come back! read more

Very small place, so there is limited seating. There was no host and no one working there said anything about the wait. People just started queuing outside. Service was slow and took a long time to order. There are only two bathroom stalls that are shared with the restaurant next door. Banana Brulée Cocktail (3/5): too sweet, light banana taste Ahi Tuna Lettuce Wraps (4/5): expensive for only two wraps ($26), but they were delicious and fresh Veggie Sandwich (2/5): not that flavorful and didn't like that there were onions in it, which was not described on the menu read more

I already love The Farm, but since they were closing for the day and we wanted a late lunch we found ourselves here instead. The staff was kind and attentive to our water glasses; thank you very much. Couldn't decide between the Italian sandwich and the vegan wrap. Husband got the Italian which meant I was stealing a bite or two. It's delicious, but the vegan wrap -- OMG that was yummy!! I could eat that every day. read more

This is an intimate, smaller venue with indoor and outdoor seating on a side street in old town Palm Springs. It's a charming area with plenty of restaurant options. I was impressed with the quality of The Front Porch's hand-carved turkey sandwich which was among the best I've had with a side salad where every lettuce piece seemed to be individually chosen and curated. Friendly service complimented the fine sandwich. I also liked the music they were playing outside: Jazzy and, thankfully, not too loud. read more

Whenever I get a chance to visit the Front Porch it is always memorable. Can't go wrong with the rainbow salad or the incredibly beautiful cheese board. The cocktails never disappoint, and there are so many to try! It's fun for me to bring friends & family here for the first time to try. If it's a Thursday evening (village fest street fair) and we have the dogs, we sit outside and they are so happy to receive love from people walking by. We have pretty much tried everything on the menu now, and even their sandwiches are good which I wasn't expecting. Can't wait to work my way through the breakfast menu. No reservations so come early for a table. The wait isn't bad and people are very friendly. I love that the staff is consistent, know their stuff, and a big part of the reason we keep coming back. read more

If you love Farm, don't miss its charming neighbor next door--The Front Porch. It's owned by the same group but has its own personality: lighter, shareable dishes, craft cocktails, and a relaxed, inviting vibe that's perfect for small groups or solo visits. I keep coming back for the out of this world cocktails created and the Smoked Salmon Flatbread--to me it's an elevated bagel and lox with dill cream, capers, heirloom tomatoes, and a fresh vinegary salad on the side. The stuffed dates (with smoked blue cheese and candied pecans) are a shareable sweet and savory snack, and the strawberry banana brûlée waffle is perfectly crispy, warm, and exceptionally delicious with the way the bananas have been brûlées. It comes with all the right accompaniments as well. So back to the cocktails.... They are as incredible to look at as they are delicious to drink. Carlos, the in-house master mixologist, crafts stunning (and award winning) drinks with house-infused spirits and homemade cordials. Try the Jalisco Mule it's spicy + refreshing with. Watermelon garnish. Or go for the Botanical Berry (fruity, floral, layered). You may be surprised how even a spirit that you would not normally choose will become an essential backbone to your next favorite drink. Have fun exploring and try something new! Other menu highlights: Shrimp ceviche: Bright, flavorful, and refreshing Beet salad: Goat cheese, pistachios, sherry vinaigrette; small but tasty The ambiance is relaxed and stylish--shaded patio, cozy interior, and super friendly staff with attentive service for a quick bite ora leisurely hang. Just a heads up: You won't find bacon and eggs or omelets here. It's more crisp salads, fresh sandwiches, and cold dishes--with a few warm options like waffles and crepes. And honestly? That's what makes it special. read more

I stopped by The Front Porch for a quick drink and will definitely be back! It's small but cozy and so cute! Joe the bartender was so welcoming and answered all of our questions. My family member and I were so excited that he knew Spanish and took the time to explain the different ingredients being used. If that doesn't sell it for you, you can have a personal picture printed on certain drinks!! Not to mention the drinks we ordered were delicious! I will definitely be back to stay longer and enjoy the atmosphere and food. Don't miss out on The Front Porch. With so many great options in Palm Springs, you should make some time to visit at least for a drink. read more

Ok, at first glance you might think just another overpriced cocktail bar, but this place is truly an experience. It's a small, intimate atmosphere with a few tables and a bar. They have small bites and drink options available. The drinks are amazing and they are all so unique. Watching the bartender make them is a performance. You can even get a drink with a custom picture on it. It's definitely a standout from other places in town and I highly recommend stopping in for a drink. read more

The food was great! We ordered Bagel & Lox, Strawberry Banana Brulee Waffle, Blueberry Pancakes, and Hand Carved Turkey Sandwich. The pricing is reasonable. The service was fast. We needed to use the restroom and the staff referred us to use the one inside the FARM so we had a glance of the beautiful restaurant too. It was an great alternative if your schedule doesn't work with the one with FARM. We were there maybe like around 4pm and there were plenty of seating and no lines. I would totally come back to try other dishes! read more

We were drawn into this bar by the prospect of printing an image on our drink and it didn't disappoint! The inside is pretty tiny. Only 6(?) bar seats and maybe 10 seats total other than that on the inside. There were a few tables out front on the sidewalk as well. Our bartender was great! We came in around 2 or 3 on a Monday and originally sat outside since the inside was full. Our bartender offered to move around some umbrellas for us and then asked if we wanted to move inside after some people left. We didn't even have to ask for anything, he was so accommodating! I wish I would've gotten his name. I asked about getting a picture on my drink, and he said that the cocktail had to have egg white in it, but you can also do the espresso martini since it has a foam. I got the Banana Brûlée as well and it was delicious. They definitely do well crafted cocktails here. read more

I'll start with this, it was one of the only places open at 9:30 on a Saturday night in Palm Springs?!! The waiter was so kind, fed us, made sure we had plenty of water.

You're telling me, I can order a drink AND get my dog's face on it?! Sign me up and take my money! But for real, the drinks here weekends awesome and perfectly balanced. I enjoyed the Botanical Berry. My husband tried the Hope Floats, and though having a bourbon drink with a red wine float sounds odd, it was actually really good. We finished by ordering a whiskey sour and added our dog's face to it. SO fun! It was simple to do, and didn't cost anything extra. The ambiance here was very cute. I liked the artwork on the walls, and the patio area. read more

Front Porch is a must try when in Palm Springs! My hubby and I drove into town on our last stay in PS, we were looking for something fresh and light to eat for our late breakfast. Their menu gives you a great range that should appease everyone in your group but the group can't be too big because this place is quaint and maybe seats 10 inside, which is one of things I loved about it. The gentleman that served us was so awesome he describes everything in the menu perfectly and guides you in the right direction to find your perfect dish...and drink. I thought I wanted a salad but landed on the strawberry banana waffle LOL and my husband stuck to the plan and ordered the sesame ahi...both were delish! The waffle was fluffy yet had a slight crispiness and not cakey at all, they top it with fresh bananas, homemade strawberry jam and homemade whipped cream. The seafood was oh so fresh and the presentation was beautiful. For drinks we had the fresh watermelon lemonade which tasted exactly as you'd hope and the French press coffee (small) was perfect. Our server was very personable and friendly kept conversations going with all us in the place. And even (easily) convinced us to try one of his specialty cocktails, it was a smoked old fashioned with pistachio infused bourbon...I know right?! How could we say no... I'm very glad we stopped by The Front Porch because it will now be a must every time we come back into town. read more

Okay, it is CUUUUTE...but someone needs to explain the food a bit better. I got the beet salad thinking it would be a filling salad at $17. It was legit just like two beets cut up with cheese, pistachios and sprouts. It was delish...but not enough food for $17. Throw it on some mixed greens and you have something filling and yummy. Kids didn't have a lot of options either. Pancakes and crepes...I feel like there is a great opportunity to do something like a grilled cheese or a kids charcuterie or something here. Just one option that's more kid friendly and not just sweets. Italian sandwich was good, banana chocolate crepe was delish. Oh well, the lemonade was tasty and I bet it would be awesome for date night if we were getting cocktails. ***For the price I would normally give 3 stars for this. But I'll never give a small business less than 4 stars if I'm not the target audience with my kiddos. read more

The Front Porch is in the center of La Plaza in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. Indoor and outdoor tables are available. Craft cocktails and a nice wine list offer something for all tastes. The menu has a nice selection of plates to go with your drinks. My wife is partial to the Key Lime Pie cocktail. I had a glass of SauvBlanc. We paired that with the baked brie and marinated olives. The bartender/waiter Ozzie was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. The drinks and food delicious. read more
