Seriously disappointing menu and woefully overpriced. This place is all show and no go. It’s an exceptionally well designed and decorated dining room and the service is very good, but that’s all you’re getting and you’re expected to overpay for it at that.The cocktails were completely uninspiring. Nearly every drink is a rebranded classic that you could have easily ordered off menu. The only interesting drink on the menu is priced at $22 as if existing in some kind of alternate reality. I didn’t even bother with it.The same can be said of the food. Dull, uneventful dishes of meager portions and costing a small fortune.This place seems to be completely ignorant of the restaurant competition in Palm Springs. Avoid it at all costs.

I originally stayed here in 2018 and I really enjoyed my stay. However, the hotel needed a lot of tlc. The hotel has recently been renovated and is under new management so I thought I’ll dine at the restaurant while I was visiting PS and check the renovation out as well. The hotel has been beautifully transformed bringing out its original character, so I was really excited to have dinner at the restaurant the moment I stepped on the grounds. The menu however was extremely disappointing, choices were extremely limited and they were not many vegetarian options. Bread and butter was under the appetisers section which I thought it was funny and all main courses were priced above 30 dollars. For the prices (which felt more like I was dinning in LA rather than PS) I would have excepted for the food to be “Michelin-star” amazing, but it was below average. My check for a drink and a main course came up to 80 dollars! Highly recommend Mr Lyons over this… wasn’t even worth 30 dollars! pretty amazing cocktails though. Highly recommend coming for the ambiance and the drinks.

Stopped by for drinks before dinner. We were able to snag some seats at the bar. We had the Purple 86, the nineteen thirty six, and the Chita Rivera. All the drinks were really good. Have to say I was partial to my Chita Rivera - jalapeño infused tequila. Alex was our bartender - relatively new to the area but made great drinks. The dinner menu looked great but we already had reservations elsewhere. Took some pics outside of the pool scene which looked super cool. Good location / proximity to town. Will have to stay for a night and have dinner. 👍🏻👍🏻

We went on Saturday for lunch and it took an hour to get food. And all tables around us got frustrated and complained due to late serving. There was even one table left without paying for their drinks as they waited for 45 min for their food and asked for a manager to come and somehow they couldn’t get hold of a manager, so left the restaurant. Many servers kept saying sorry for the delay to almost all tables around us. Not only the long waiting but also they brought wrong food and then later cocktails that we didn’t order so it’s messy all over. Understand the staff shortage these days but it would’ve been smart and nice if it was informed at the very beginning so that customers can expect the delay. Food was ok!

It is quintessential Palm Springs with exemplary staff, brand new decor, with a baby grand piano and poolside view. The new Chef is incredible, only sourcing items from the local organic farms.

We had a fantastic dinner here tonight. Food was great, ambience was great. But what was special was a new Bus Boy called JR, hustling to make his way to server. So attentive, so focused on ensuring we were taken care of, and we had everything we needed to have a great dinner. Amazing energy. Great brand ambassador for the restaurant, but most importantly someone that deserves the chance at the next level. He made our night special.

The ambiance is lovely. How can you not adore staring to one of San Jacinto glorious faces from the patio. Poolside service is also available if one still wants drinks or snacks after the main dining 🍽. Another great perk of being a guest at the hotel. Pools, views, and an experience to remember.

Skip the food, mediocre at best. Table service (which doesn’t not include the rather morose host), however was amazing! From the bread to the butter to the steak, flavor seemed to be a 6 letter word because it wasn’t present throughout the meal. The decor is worth a few drinks, as well as the service, but at $50 for a steak I would have loved at least a little salt and pepper so it had taste and a cut not sponsored by Rubbermaid.

We called for a reservation. We were told originally there’s nothing until 11 o’clock. We asked if there was anything earlier and were told eight or 830 they could save a table. When we arrived there were at least 10 table empty plus if there was nobody there to see us we had to go find somebody. We finally got seated poolside ordered coffee and juice asked if we wanted to menu we said yes and they brought us one menu to share. My husband and I ordered different meals. When the meals arrived in a timely manner they were exactly the same except for the potatoes. My meal said it came with hash. Their version of hash yes potatoes with brussels sprouts. My husband‘s details were grilled and we both asked for eggs over easy which came out quite firm. We have a hard time trying to get a salt and pepper shaker which we finally did plus my husband and order the third egg which she did not get finally came out and it was over hard. We were never offered a refill on coffee Orange juice. We used to eat here at this restaurant under the previous owner and never had a problem. Granted they have only been operating under the new ownership since March 1 and I will actually give them a pass because I am a former restaurant tour. I will say it was a decent breakfast but not worth $50 for the two of us.

A very special place. Everything was wonderful. Had a table right next to the pool. The corn ricotta ravioli had great flavors and was perfect for sharing. The beet salad with spinach and dates was very good. Loved the salmon with pea puree and English peas. Cooked perfectly. The pear cherry crostata was excellent!

Great place for brunch. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Tasty food and pretty drinks.

Kicked off our week in Palm Springs with brunch here, and we were not disappointed! The patio is chill, with a relaxed, take-your-time vibe. The huevos rancheros were truly the best Ive ever had and the prickly pear bellini was delightful. Critical to the experience was the service - the folks working here truly know how to deliver a five-star experience. Everything about it was elegantly executed and friendly without being intrusive. Thank you for a lovely brunch.

So delicious! With views of a fabulous pool, misted through sunny skies and impressive Art Deco surrounding inside, the food was an innovative approach to a classic meal. It’s like what you want in a meal- bread, salad, entree dessert but reimagined with fresh, on trend ingredients that food lovers will not consider old school at all! Five stars for food, atmosphere and service...sprinkled with a touch of interesting people watching. Loved it!

Beautiful setting. Great Menu and professional and friendly staff. Everyone enjoyed their entrees. I had the salmon and it was cooked perfectly. It was lacking a side dish, perhaps it was ala carte, but I probably didnt listen when the waitress was explaining.I will go back.

Lovely setting by a pool. Great service. Food good, but not spectacular

5 stars for the room and the service. the food was just ok. nothing stood out for us. The bar in front of the pool is worth a visit. the views of the mountains from poolside is gorgeous.

Great restaurant! Wonderful vibe in the restaurant! Food was amazing! Duck confit was divine !! Service was wonderful!

This is a cute little place with a bit of a Moroccan theme. Interesting history if you look it up. The food is good. They have large serving sizes. I was full after the chips and guacamole did not make a dent in the salad.I didnt enjoy their dessert menu. Fancy places like this always have fancy desserts and Im a traditional lady 🤷🏻‍♀️.

The food of this place used to be amazing. The new administration is so disappointing. We ordered the vegetable soup and it came out cold, tasteless, the forgot the spoon and then brought us the biggest spoon they could find for a very tiny bowl. Butter wasn’t good either. Please please for the love of God! Fire your chef and hire someone more qualified. Not even a can soup was so bad as the one we had today. Not coming back.

Delicious food, nice staff, GORGEOUS design! My favorite restaurant! Go here right now! It’s amazing!

Gorgeous space inside and out, friendly, knowledgeable staff and salmon prepared to perfection. We even made new friends who were dining a few feet away. A magical evening to celebrate our anniversary.

Fabulous well cared for place to stay in Palm Springs. Loved the pool ... breakfast was great. Beds very comfy. Location is close to old town.

Gorgeous outdoor seating by the pool. Eclectic indoor restaurant. The service is good and food options have some originality. Very relaxing environment for breakfast

Well-crafted cocktails at poolside bar. Pleasant and helpful conversation with bartender Michael. Delicious guacamole and chips.

Visited for Happy Hour. Great staff and vibe. Glad we visited! It’s tucked into the hotel so a little tough to find but worth the search.

Beautiful setting and quality food. Service was also on point.

Absolutely superb restaurant with very cool interiors and delicious food and cocktails! You can sit poolside outside under heaters or inside among the amazing wallpaper, tiles and chandeliers! The new Caesar salad was to die for as was the pumpkin soup! Don’t miss the amazing tile floor in the entry way!

A thoroughly relaxed and delightful meal. From cocktails through desert, the service was unhurried and gracious. The Lobster bisque was tasty with a good portion of lobster meat and crème fraiche. Burrata salad with heirloom tomatoes and watermelon was tasty. My chicken over creamy polenta was just right. Dessert cheese and truffles were delightful. A nice change of pace from the Palm Springs main street restaurants.

Walked here for brunch and sat by pool. Great ambiance, great food and good company.

Good food; service was amazing. Wish the bartenders, particularly the one with his sunglasses on his head could follow mask protocols.

Very nice vintage building and grounds located within the renowned Colony Palms Hotel in the Movie Colony district in Palm Springs. Delicious progressive cuisine within this historical hotel. Lovely poolside patio dining or inside seating. Moderately priced, welcoming, friendly talent awaits your visit.

Went on the recommendation of a close friend. Found it hard to find the entrance. Once inside, it felt like a 1930’s movie star oasis. Beautiful, charming and we loved our server Katrina! The starter was delightful, and dinner was chicken cordon bleu and lamb shank. We had the brownie which was just right. I had a lovely wine and my wife had a Pinot Noir which she loved. The staff was attentive but not imposing. The portions delightful and the food looked as good as it tasted. We whole heartedly recommend it!

Relaxing atmosphere, great service and good food.

Real tasty & great environment

Overall, very good and better than what I expected. Their fresh Sourdough bread is just awesome. We ordered two servings because its made in house and comes out warm and beautiful. The food quality is very good. Top to bottom are Gazpacho soup, Beet Salad, Grilled Tombo Tuna, Pork, Passionfruit Sorbet and Strawberry Shortcake. It received only 4 stars because they need to up their presentation just a bit and there is a lot of competition restaurant-wise to be considered 5 star.. Sorbet was served very plain for example and many places serve a beet salad, gazpacho, or pork. I would go back. Service was very good.

Great food (Brioche French Toast) with a beautiful setting. Service was great!

Great food, great service and wonderful atmosphere. Will definitely go back.

Went for Anniversary dinner, Javier provided wonderful service. Good selection of fresh fish and meat, fun and laid back atmosphere; Ambience in the small poolside dining room is tough to beat. Attentive service that’s not overbearing is hard to find these days.

Such a beautiful historic restaurant! Wonderful cuisine, impeccable service.

Delicious salmon Benedict. Venue has a great relaxing boho vibe.

Amazing location, friendly staff and great food and drinks!

Service, cocktails, appetizers, and entrees were excellent!

The fish tacos were perfect...and so were the libations!

What a gem! The restaurant opens up to tables by the pool with a beautiful, relaxing feeling! The food is wonderful and the service is terrific! Everyone is friendly and professional. Their “Sunset Hour” menu calls us to come back as does the dinner menu. Definitely “A Keeper.”

Over priced, ordinary and portion sizes are ridiculous.

Really neat park. The views are spectacular. It was cool there so be sure you have a jacket. Loved the rock formations and the ability to drive through the park. This is so worth seeing!!

Beautiful weddings

This hideaway is one of Palm Springs best kept secrets. Dine poolside or in the enchanting Spanish Villa inspired restaurant. The staff is consistently charming and attentive. And the food always satisfies the most discerning pallets.

Wonderful staff and meal

Great staff, food and atmosphere

Service was exceptional during a Saturday night dinner considering the party of fifteen loud and rowdy lushes traveling back and forth from our table to the bar. Small menu of fun cocktails and a double-sided page of wines by the glass or bottle. The food was mediocre. Reasonable prices, though if you bring your own cake be ready to shell out a whopping $48.00 for their cake-cutting fee. Here’s to our server and the tranquil ambiance.

Weather turned cold and rainy which threw a wrench in the outdoor seating. Owner was very gracious in handling our bar bill and communicative during the delay. The food outdid the hospitality. Thanks for a wonderful evening....

I visited here many years ago, it is a wonderful place. The chefs are always producing delicious entrées. Highly recommend to those who want a fine dining experience. Exquisite atmosphere. Lovely hotel as well.

Always such a wonderful time whether you are staying on property, or just enjoying lunch with your boo al fresco. The staff and the menu will delight and the serene vibe will leave you wanting to stick around for a little longer🙌🏼

Way too overwhelming interior design for me, especially in the morning. Found myself staring out the doors to the pool most of the time, which is thankfully a beautiful and serene view. Great Bloody Marys though! Food was good but not good enough for me to remember what I had, or maybe thats because of the Bloody Marys?

First time in Palm Springs and was blown away by the staff, food and atmosphere. Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommended for drinks and or dinner.

When we go to Purple Palm we tend to order a few items and share. Its always delicious. And the service is second to none.

First time at the Purple Palm but certainly wont be our last! We started with a cocktail and I sure would recommend the purple gang the drink with float of pinot noir was so pretty in presentation and so tasty! Our group tried about everything on the menu from the starters to main dishes and we found the dishes very creative and quite tasty. The house made ricotta gnocchi with wild mushrooms was so wonderful. The chickpea fries yum yum! The roasted beet salad..loved the hazelnut touch. House made tagliatelle so, so good and loved the whole cloves of roasted garlic in it. The fish lover in the group said the pan roasted salmon was excellent. The zaatar roasted baby carrots just wonderful. The prosciutto wrapped pork tenderloin was so tender and such a great flavor. I could go on....😊 Thank you chef! We will see you again soon!

It was pretty good. Not amazing as others reviews and blogs seem to infer. Also it was cold in the restaurant as they had all the windows and doors propped open in low 50° weather

Lovely setting, we sat by the pool. Coffee was good, everyone enjoyed their meal. My only complaint is, with a hotel and restaurant of this caliber, that the tomatoes were terrible. They were light orange and waxy. I ordered them as a side. Either the chef or the server should have made the call that the tomatoes were substandard and not served them. Other than that, everything was delightful.

My neighborhood bar, and pet friendly.

Beautiful boutique restaurantwith a wonderful romantic, intimate atmosphere. We were a group of seven. We had a relaxing fun evening. The food was spectacular, freshly prepared and so tasty. Our table was by the pool, which was lit up and throughout the area were soft white lights; creating a wonderful atmosphere. To top it all off, there was a solo guitarist playing acoustic music. I will definitely go back if I get the chance.

Excellent brunch! Amazing ambiance next to the pool with beautiful grounds. Food was cooked to perfection and great service from Jeff. We will be back!

Perfect Palm Springs Hollywood scene but without the attitude. A spectacular find that you and your guests will love.

Stopped by visiting San Francisco. Felt welcome from the first step. Bartenders are friendly, gave us really helpful recommendations of what to see and where to go. Tried there craft beer which was very good and just perfect for a hot day.

Amazing food (the best Ive had in Palm Springs), great service.I would have given them 5/5, but we had reserved a table for new years eve, and when we arrived this table was outside on a freezing night. Even though we were sat between three heat lamps we had to cut our meal short because it was just too cold.

LOVE LOVE LOVE Purple Palm! Food is out of this world. Employees are friendly, happy, attentive and competent. Cant wait to go back!

O.M.G. The craft cocktails were well done. The scallops appetizer was amazing. Pre-classic Palm Springs decor. A great place to start your Palm Springs evening.

Trendy, stylish and hipster millennial crowd surrounded us during the Coachella Music Fest. Levis threw their annual party and fashion show around the pool. Very fun people watching while we enjoyed healthy gourmet salads and sipped creatively mixed drinks. Its a very relaxing atmosphere to soak up while dining alfresco and lounging in the setting sun.

My first time at Purple Palm. Excellent ambiance! Wait staff was very nice, friendly and helpful with the menu. Sat outside by the pool for lunch. Ill admit my back was to the pool and I was a bit distracted by the folks enjoying the pool. Next time I will sit facing the pool! Great lunch options!

The restaurant is hidden inside the Colony Hotel. The food was good and the service was good. I ordered a Cubano sandwich which by its very nature was a bit fatty. The best dish of the table of sixth was the shrimp and glass noodles. The fish tacos are a must also. 2 people got those at our table and really loved them. They have a separate bar that makes his pretty good drinks.I would definitely go back again.

Nice place to sit out and have lunch. Foods good, tooer

Highly recommend to any Palm Springs visitor: 100% charming and secluded poolside garden, a must see

Very posh atmosphere, friendly staff, food is great. What you would expect from a California 5 star! Very pleased with the experience!

The seasonal tartine breakfast was heavenly!!! The coffee was terrific. Service was charming. Highly recommend - Im in my happy place!

Very inventive dishes. Highlights were smoked fish dip, pork belly dumplings, spicy crab fritters and smoke sausage sandwich. Perfectly cool atmosphere.

Great place to stop for a cocktail and bite. The bar/restaurant are right by the pool. Service was good and food was tasty.

Great spot for lunch, brunch, dinner. They have an awesome new chef & menu. I honestly have never been disappointed with anything Ive ordered. However, staff is novice at best, needs refinement, communication, timing, memory, bussing. Great hide-a-way ambiance. Bottom line: good food, good libations, ok service.

Excellent food and service! Its a beautiful hotel.

The chef is totally in control of his art. Our experience was amazing. Definitely a better decision than workshop + kitchen and bar just next door. Chef Nic as superstar potential.

Great food, stellar vibe & very helpful waiters. They brought a doggie water bowl for our puppy before could even ask, and hooked up a free desert for my girl on her birthday.Try the burger, its amazing!

Amazing atmosphere, great staff, wonderful menu and chef

Sadly mediocre food, with the kind of dishes where you wonder if the sauce/veggies would much better fit to a completely different type of meat/fish. everything smelled as if it had been fried in the same, bad frying oil. hosts tried their best, atmosphere ok-ish, but really everything felt a bit too cheap for the prices. seems this place has seen better days it cant keep up with today.

Great food, very pretty with the big pool surrounded by beautiful garden. I have attended the wedding here and brunch was one of the best I had. Nice to sit outside or by the pool

Topsys is a great happy hour place. Bartenders are social and more than willing to make a drink that perfect for you

Absolutely gorgeous venue, wonderful creme brule too!

This great little resto changed ownership a while back and I am SO happy it did. Once again the food and service is amazing. A great date spot for a intimate dinner. All around excellent.

Good food. Nice service

Cool architecture, casual ambiance, plus actually great food. A level of culinary quality nearly unheard of in the Coachella Valley. Not inexpensive, but food actually worth eating!

Excellent ambiance, food and drink. By day with an incredible mountain view and by night with all the glamour of old Hollywood. Great place to bring friends visiting Palm Springs!

Having been here several times we were sorely disappointed by the quality of the food taste and presentation. Although the apps were delish, the mains; scallops were gritty and the pork very fatty....we barely touched them.

The absolute best bartender ever. Michael was skilled and friendly. Awesome experience.

We had the best time at Purple Palm! Amazing food, amazing service! For starters, we had the Burrata with freshy baked sourdough bread, as recommended by our wonderful server Catherine. For drinks, we had the Purple Gang (excellent!) and Mojave Mule. For the main courses, we had the most wonderful Pan-roasted Salmon and Tagliatelle. And they even gave us a free sampling of their sorbets (lemon, passionfruit and mango) since we wer celebrating our anniversary. Will definitely be back!

Super cozy, simple. Easy menu

Dined here for brunch on New Years Day. We had reservations and were sat immediately. I tried one of their signature drinks, the Rio Rita it was quite good. We ordered the Kinilaw ceviche - best dish of the day! Also enjoyed the burger and the jidori chicken wrap.

Good menu, great poolside dining, very good service.

Small Restraurant in Palm Springs which serves Great food AND has Excellent service!

Came here for a random happy hour, but was pleasantly surprised by their delicious cocktails. Had a paloma, old fashion, and spicy margarita and was impressed by each. Our server Pouran was great too, super nice and a good sense of humor. Enjoyed the margherita pizza as well.

Magnificent old Palm Springs relatively left in tact. The premises are a true oasis in the city. Fabulous cocktails

Beautiful restaurant, great atmosphere and service and delicious food.
