I dined there twice in one week and had the Lamb Shank (amazing) and the Rigatoni (request extra sauce: it's that good). The hits: grilled cheese dumplings (served with mildly spice sauce on large ceramic spoons) and the innovative spin on Pavlova for dessert. Staff and Service is friendly, upbeat and professional, a rare combination that delighted us.

From the incredible cocktails and extensive martini list to the thoughtful, affordable wine selection and delicious bar bites, it's truly a gem. The staff is fantastic, and the lineup of local talent that regularly takes the stage is something you don't want to miss. Everyone is welcome, and there's a genuine sense of community--you always feel like you're among friends. Be sure to say hello to James when you arrive. He's created a winning blend of classic Palm Springs design and warm, down home hospitality. Don't miss it.

It's the kind of place where you sink into your seat and don't want to leave. Great spot to meet up with friends, with live music most nights adding to the vibe. But honestly, the real charm here is James, the owner. He's a genuine sweetheart, and his staff are just as caring -- they make you feel like family every time you walk in. The wine selection rotates often, and I always ask for a recommendation. Never once been disappointed. The cocktails are excellent too, and it's clear the martinis are a specialty and very popular. And don't get me started on the bar food. There are so many good options it's hard to choose -- the flatbreads, the bacon-wrapped dates (a local favorite done to perfection), the meatballs, the charcuterie, and so many more... it all pairs so well with the drinks. More than once we've cancelled our dinner plans because we filled up on all the goodies here. This has become our regular spot to catch up with friends, and the community feel is hard to beat. And, we love supporting local small business! Can't recommend it enough.

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.

Cozy little speakeasy tucked away on the Parker hotel property in Palm Springs. The ambience can be…read moredescribed as a cocktail lounge with dim lights and only bar seating available in a snug little saloon. They offered tapas style appetizers and a large selection of wines. We got the hearts of palm calamari, oysters, lobster bolognese on chopsticks and faux foie grad macaroons along with a bottle of red the barmaid recommended. The tapas were all delicious and creatively presented, except the oysters which tasted mediocre. The plates are all shareable. The staff was attentive and helpful in selecting the wine.

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.

They also serve wines by the glass and have a few Belgian and German beers on tap. This is what we came for. The humidor is kept locked, and staff will escort you through it. Not a shopping style I prefer, but I get why they do it. We picked our sticks. Had a seat in a leather wingback chair. We were asked about our cut. The cigars were brought to us. Handed and lit. Beverages were ordered. We sat with a sack of sandwiches, fully imagining a perfect lunch-beer, beer-cigar combo. Turns out California tobacco lounge laws and health codes had other plans. Outside food isn't allowed if they want to keep their indoor smoking exemption, so the staff had to politely shut down our dreams. Fair enough, lesson learned. Eat first, then smoke. Paid at the end. Overall pleasant experience and decent lounge. For the wine crowd, I did notice some genuinely nice bottles available. That said, if you're not a cigar person, this may be a "love it or leave it" atmosphere. Most people seem to find cigar smoke either rich and cozy or like sitting downwind of a smoky campfire wearing a wool sweater. If you fall into the second category, you may want to grab your wine elsewhere.

Her attitude was mean and dismissive, and there was no effort to provide even basic customer service. A cigar lounge should feel relaxed and inviting -- this felt like the exact opposite. Because of the uncomfortable experience, we left and drove about 15 minutes to Helios Cigar Lounge, and the difference was night and day. Helios was outstanding -- friendly, welcoming, and exactly what a proper cigar lounge should be. Ask for Simon at Helios. He made the experience exceptional and reminded us what great customer service actually looks like. Do yourself a favor: avoid this place and go to Helios Cigars instead.

Seven (7) Tasting Flights available ranging from $29 - $99 (see my pics)…read more Beautiful, upscale tasting room located just off the Thompson Hotel's lobby in downtown Palm Springs. Valet parking is available for $10. WINE & FOOD: Vanessa poured for us and was an excellent host and wine educator. She greeted us with a complimentary pour of their 2024 Walt Rosé of Pinot Noir before delving into our wine background, experience, and explaining the various flights. She took the time to get to know us and made excellent recommendations. My wife and I shared the L'Amour de Blancs flight ($29), the Elegant Expressions flight ($59), and the Taste of Terroir flight ($99). Each flight consisted of three generous pours, and as we went through, Vanessa even poured a few extra Pinot Noirs she knew we'd enjoy. The wines are extremely well-made and quite elegant, offering a good balance of acidity, tannins, and flavors. Along with the wines, we also tried several items off their Savory Bites menu: Marinated Olives & Nuts ($10), Soppressata Croquettes ($15), Wild Mushroom Pâté & Black Truffle ($18), and the Duck Confit Crostini ($18). Everything was delicious and for those who might be unsure, the menu offers wine paring suggestions so you can't go wrong. We had an excellent, leisurely experience and enjoyed it so much, that we became members. Membership offers discounts on wine, food, and merchandise, and even a discount at the fine dining restaurant located on the second floor of the hotel. We're excited to be new members and look forward to many more adventures at this Hall Wines location.

Maybe because it fell like a spot only locals go to. But it all changed once my wife's salad came. It was built with the utmost care and it tasted amazing. It was like a fancy balsamic salad with sourdough bread and cherry tomatoes. Then our waiter was very helpful and told us about the food and recommended a wild mushroom pasta. He said all the pasta sauces were made the same day and he even showed us a video of the kitchen and how the noodles are made. I like mushrooms but I'm usually a burger or a steak guy. But I went with it. My wife got a shrimp pasta. Both tasted absolutely amazing...my wife pasta was so refreshing and my mushroom pasta was superb!! The waiter was so cool too. There was a super nice sunset and he told us to go outside and look at it because it was a rare type of sunset. This is one of those restaurants where the food is made of high quality ingredients and the chef/s really does put care into their dishes. All in all, if I'm back in town, I'd come by again for the food.

Everyday from 4-6pm. Well cocktails are 6 bucks, martinis are 10, and they typically poor doubles, so amazingly worth it. Happy hour beet tartare is surprisingly delicious for what it is. Although, I would pick out a bunch of the capers. Restaurants have this thing dumping handfuls of capers like it's the main ingredient. It's like eating a whole dill pickle in a cheeseburger. Wow. Also get the pork belly crispy rice. You won't be disappointed. We come here for their regular menu for special date nights and are never disappointed. The pork chop was awesome. You really can't go wrong. Enjoy!
