You can park on the street for free though and walk over. The bar was super cute and we loved the theme! It was very small but we went around 9ish and there was only 3 other groups there, so we didn't have a problem. Our waitress was Katie, and she was great! She let us taste the wines before ordering them and we loved chatting with her. She also gave us a free Polaroid picture and it was so nice as my mom is visiting. A great keepsake! The food was so so good! We loved everything we ordered. It was all so unique and tasty. The confessional booths were also very fun to hang out in. Would definitely recommend going here!!

I was here last week for an event hosted by the PalmSpringsGuy last week. I've seen this place…read morenumerous of time but actually never been. Well, it was finally time to try it out. It's part of a little strip mall with a few other business. The parking situation was a little confusing as we didn't know if you were allowed to park at any of the spots. Some were reserved while some didn't have anything assigned to them. Afterwards we did find out that you were allowed to park there. Street parking is also available if needed. The place is quite nice and literally down the street from the main downtown strip. Also around the corner for the casino. There's a massive patio seating but with the summer heat, no one was outside .Right when you walk in, there's a cute seating area before heading straight to the bar. Main bar as you walk in as well as second bar towards the back area. It's a full bar so whatever you like, it could be made. As we were here for an event, a meet and greet with everyone was perfect for this place. Drinks were rolling and people enjoying getting to know each other. A nice concept to make new friends in the area. Besides wine and cocktails, there's beer as well as food. I didn't get a chance to check the menu but food was supplied at the event. Flatbread were brought out as well as hummus and crudités. Let me say, the selections of flatbread that was served was great. So many different selections and flavors to go around. They were quite nice. The indoor area is an open concept with loads of tables and comfy couches places throughout like seating areas. We also found out that certain nights they offer karaoke. Plus happy hours happens nightly. The crowd for the event was great but being able to check out new places that Palm Springs has to offer was great. It's a place thats perfect for mingling with friends, popping in for a drink or just lounging with a nice glass of wine. Grab some food if you want as they have a good selection on the menu. When the weather allows it, it's perfect for an evening on the patio. This place is now a must for us as it was great. A fun place for a nice glass of wine or cocktails. Glad we finally tried it out. Also, the staff were all amazing and the sweetest. Highly recommend.

These are truly perfectly made drinks! If you're looking for true martinis this is it! It's a fun crowd with nice people, lively music and folks jumping up on the dance floor. Bathrooms are clean.

Wine bar doesn't open till 5 which was when happy hour started. For the first hour, they had wine, well drinks and draft beer. A few small plates also offered. It's a wine and tapas bar. It's along El Paseo before you hit the main shopping area, depending on which way you come. Entrance has a nice wall created by ficus trees and mister spraying to keep you cool. There's a decent patio with a good amount of seating. Inside is where the party is. The place is set with two seating area. Right when you walk in is the bar. A good amount of hi top seating and tables. Hi top seating that are along the window were actually very uncomfortable. Padded seats were so narrow that seating was so uncomfortable but oh well. There's the other room seating area which houses all the wine on shelves. I believe it's also a wine store but that sectioned was closed for a private event. We just wanted a drink before dinner so no food was had. From the looks of the dishes that were coming out, they looked really nice. Tapas style dishes made for sharing. With happy hour, there was a couple dishes that was included. Also they offered a deal with a charcuterie board and a bottle included. We just went with a glass of their house red and white. And an order of spicy margaritas. It's a full bar so that was nice. Margaritas were great and house wine was decent. The service was great with the bartender who was a doll and very sweet. Made drinks and still had time to come check out on people. It was still early but it did pick up for happy hour which is from 5-6 right when they open. The place was quite nice and well decorated. Beautiful wine bar that's great for mingling with friends over food drinks and tapas. Will definitely be back for some food.

I accidentally…read morebooked my reservation for the wrong Friday, but the manager was incredibly accommodating, fitting us in and even seating us at a better table than I had originally reserved. That level of hospitality immediately impressed us. We started with cocktails, and there was a great selection of creative drinks to choose from. For appetizers, the Crispy Brussels Sprouts were the standout of the meal--I can't recommend them enough. We also enjoyed Jake's Deviled Eggs and the General Tso Cauliflower from the seasonal three-course menu. For our entrées, we ordered the Filet Mignon, Grilled Flank Steak, Rosemary Salmon, and the Penne Alla Checca with Blackened Garlic Chicken. Every dish was delicious and beautifully presented. We finished with the Key Lime Bar, which was the perfect ending to a fantastic meal. Even though we sat on the patio in the middle of summer, it never felt hot. The misting system, plenty of shade, and beautiful greenery made it incredibly comfortable, and once the sun went down, it was absolutely delightful. The service was outstanding. Everyone was friendly and attentive, our drinks and water glasses were always full, and our plates were cleared promptly after each course. Jake's exceeded our expectations in every way. Between the exceptional food, outstanding service, and beautiful patio atmosphere, it's easy to see why it's one of Palm Springs' favorite restaurants. We will definitely be back and highly recommend it.

Dinner Time Review!…read more As we continue to venture out and try new restaurants, Jake's was our choice tonight--and it did not disappoint. The hostess was on point and seated us at a great table with a beautiful view. Our server, Chris, was exceptional. If you visit, ask for him--he'll take care of you as if you're the only table in the restaurant. The food was spot on. My husband and I shared the crab cakes, deviled eggs, and steak tartare, and everything was absolutely delicious. For our entrée, we shared the rack of lamb, which was cooked perfectly. As a chef myself, I think a nice touch from the kitchen would have been to plate the dish on two plates rather than providing an extra plate and having me do the sharing--but that's just a small observation. We also enjoyed a perfectly chilled bottle of rosé with dinner, along with a Negroni, and finished the evening with carrot cake for dessert. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Thank you for a great date night with my husband. We'll definitely be back!

At the Cole Hotel, with a nice view of people speeding into town on 111, but what will surprise you is the sophistication of the cooking and the friendliness of the waiter and the chef. We've had: - Perfect bread, crusty, crunchy on the outside and soft and flavorful on the inside. - Fabulous cocktails in heavy-bottomed glasses that let you know that you're royalty. - Cod that tastes like something you would get from Nobu. - French onion soup that might not be the cheesiest in the world, but the depth of flavor is amazing. - Rigatoni with a delicious sauce. - Desserts that have us melting. And more... It's truly a special place. I wish we could go every week, but it's not so impossibly priced that you can't go at least once a month. Freddie is always there with warmth and humor, and both gentlemen we've had as servers have been well informed and service-oriented. We never drive down this section of 111 when coming from Mission Lakes. We usually take Indian Canyon and then we turn on Vista Chino. For years, we have actually missed seeing this wonderful restaurant, but one day we just decided to explore and go a different way, and there it was. You can't miss that sign. We were in a mood for something good, and boy, did we find it. Freddie and his kitchen have our hearts.

My server Jennifer was great to talk with about the wines, the owners, and the food. I enjoyed trying different cheeses along with a delicious Albariño wine. They had some fairly steady stream of customers, some were regulars and some were first-timers like me. Next time I will try one of the salads which I saw and it looked amazing. I have a feeling they will need to be expanding if the word gets out on how wonderful everything is. I added it to my list of stops whenever I am at my vacation place in Indian Wells. You should check them out!!
