Restaurants near Thirteen Palms

Another trip to bar Cecil- this time had the bread (do not miss!) the mussels to share - delicious- and the fish (with carmelized sweet potato and whipped celeriac). Honestly - we drive 25-30 minutes from La Quinta every time and it is ALWAYS worth the trip. Set your alarm and book in advance so you can get in. It’s that good.

1st we were late to our reservations, I called notifying the restaurant that we’re going to be late they said they’ll make a note of it. When we arrived 1 hr late they still seated us w/ no wait. Server was fast in taking our orders, quality of food & alcohol was on point, loved the ambience & decor, I would definitely come back & recommend this place to anyone coming to Palm Springs.

A new find for me in Palm Springs despite the fact I’ve been visiting the town for more than 30 years. And what a pleasant surprise. Slightly off the beaten track and chocker with locals, Spencer’s is a rare find. Professional, friendly, laid back, this is a place for grown ups and their pets (but not their kids). Didn’t spot one mobile phone out as guests seem to enjoy laughing and talking to checking their insta accts. Fantastic food and service. Really can’t find a negative.

First of all, every time I make a special request for a certain area in the restaurant, they ALWAYS accommodate it, and the hosts and hostesses are always so welcoming, like they're genuinely glad we got there. Nicole, our waitress was so efficient, never intrusive, and spot on with timing and recommendations; just the BEST! We were there on Thanksgiving which, in many restaurants is a bad idea, but the turkey dinner, and all of the other food and the cocktails were just amazing. Tropicale is one of my absolute favorite restaurant in Palm Springs. They NEVER disappoint.

We had an excellent Thanksgiving dinner, Nov 28, 2024. Food, service, ambience, wine was excellent. We ate at many Michelin Stars restaurants. Eight4Nine deserve a Michelin Star. Outstanding experience. Restaurant very popular. Thank you for a very memorable dinner.
