An impromptu road trip brought us to Palm Springs, and despite the absolutely hellish summer heat,…read morewe wanted to start the evening on a nice note. After digging through Yelp and social media for a bit, we stumbled upon Ash & Vine, which appears to be a new addition to the area. Location-wise, it worked out perfectly, only about a five-minute walk from our hotel. That said, the place is quite hidden, at least to my eyes. We walked around for a bit before accidentally spotting the small sign tucked among all the greenery. Once inside, though, the place had plenty of charm. It almost feels like a small house where the living room was transformed into a warm and welcoming place for people to gather and enjoy a good dinner. Very stylish, but still comfortable and intimate. Must be that Palm Springs vibe. The service also matched the setting - warm, relaxed and welcoming without feeling overly formal. The food is beautifully and creatively presented, almost like fine dining, but the overall experience remains casual and approachable. My favorite was easily the scallop risotto. It was rich, hearty and flavorful, but still nicely balanced. My wife tried some and immediately said that the next time we pass through Palm Springs, she is ordering it for herself. Not that her Jidori chicken was bad, it was quite good, but that risotto was the dish we kept talking about afterward. Both of my boys loved their steaks. They said the sauce gave the filets a different flavor from the ones they have had elsewhere, which apparently earned their approval. We finished with the pavlova, a delectable combination of tropical sweetness, meringue, mango sauce and pineapple. Light, refreshing and a great way to end dinner - especially after walking through that Palm Springs heat. All in all, the bill came out to about $340 including tip for a party of four, with no alcohol. Not exactly a cheap dinner, but considering the setting, quality and overall experience, it felt reasonable for a nicer family meal in Palm Springs. A nice accidental find and a great start to our evening. It feels like one of those small hidden places that may not stay hidden for very long. Definitely somewhere we would return to the next time we are in town.

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.

Mark & Ian (proprietors) were on vacation, but their friend Carlos was manning the tasting room and was a fantastic host. We tasted four of their latest releases, including a revisit of our favorite pour. We tried the '23 Grenache Rosé, '23 Pinot Noir, '20 El Capitan red blend (47% Cab Sauv, 30% Mourvèdre, & 23% Syrah), and a '20 Petite Sirah. They age their red wines for 1-2 years in neutral oak barrels, and I would describe their reds as medium bodied and very smooth. Bottles were running in the $37 - $59 range (before 20% club member discounts). As usual, we took home a couple bottles of our favorites. Still recommending that you stop and visit this cozy wine tasting room in the heart of La Plaza, in downtown Palm Springs. Mark & Ian are fantastic hosts and darn good winemakers. Cheers!

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.

They were super accommodating with our large party even though we arrived late due to our dinner running over. Service was friendly and attentive. I tried two of their themed cocktails: the TSA, which was Aperol-based and refreshing, and the Stewardess, a lychee rum cocktail that was way stronger than I expected and not as sweet as I was hoping for. Overall it was a fun experience but I wish the music was louder and the lights were dimmer to make it a more party vibe. They also close at 12, which is kinda early for a bar and caught us by surprise.

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.

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.
