    A good place to celebrate with birthday or any occasion. The ambience is quite impressive, the server very pleasant and nice they really taking care their customers Excellent service they have a beautiful patio the food was exquisite from the soup to desert beyond delicious the best food in town the drinks was a combination of flavors perfect. Our dine in was highly satisfied. The only thing my cretics was about the hostess they are lack of welcoming their guesses and wasn’t friendly enough coming in and coming out.

    We had reservations weeks in advance and arrived on thime. They sat us in a back dining room between two large parties with children. We asked to be moved but were told that wasn't possible. Our couples evening quickly turned into a night at the playground with kids screaming and running around throughout the night. Though the food was good the overall expierence was not.

    We had an excellent experience! Great food, service, and atmosphere. They have an extensive wine list and the valet is complimentary.

    Had an excellent private dinner at Arnold Palmers in the Palmer Room. The room was perfect, the staff were so attentive and took phenomenal care of us, and the food... exceptional! The Thai Chilli Calamari were on a whole other level. Steaks, seafood, sides we're all on point as well. Totally worth a visit if you're in the area.

    EXCELLENT food! And the Arnold Palmer drink was the best I've ever had! Well... they better be! After all... duh! 🤭 From the start, my friend and I decided we wanted to try something different. So... the bacon wrapped dates is what we went for. Neither of us have ever had them before. They were unbelievably good! A delightful taste sensation! Then we both ordered the filet mignon. They were prepared to perfection, and were very tasty and juicy! But... if you're going to get this dish, be sure you ask for the garlic mashed potatoes and not the petite oven potatoes. My buddy only got 6 tiny potatoes the size of a nickel. I got a whole bowl of garlic mashed potatoes. Also... Be sure you ask for the chimichurri sauce to go with the steak. It was extremely tasty and a perfect combination. It paired perfectly with the steak. The small arugula salad that came with the dish would make a rabbit cry asking for more. Honestly, it was more of an afterthought than a salad. Anyway, the main course (the steak) was very good! Then we move on to the dessert... We had espressos with a little lemon twist, which I've never had before, and it was very good. I suggest you try it. We decided to have the sorbet, which was mango and raspberry. Absolutely delicious and very refreshing. We also got some carrot cake to go and it looks amazing. I can't wait to try it. If you're in this area, I highly recommend this restaurant. The only disappointing factor was, the hostess actually recommended more things on the menu than our server did. We were very disappointed with the service. I'm not sure if they had a server call out sick tonight, because our server rarely came by our table. She came by right after they dropped off the steaks, like within one minute, and asked us how they were. We had not even taken a bite yet. She could have just looked down at our table and seen that. Then she short changed me because I paid with cash. Not sure if it was a misunderstanding or done deliberately, but it left a very poor taste in my mouth. So, everything about this place was excellent, it's just that the service was very lacking. We were seated in the bar. Maybe that's a place to avoid. We had to ask several times for more drink, and additional items that were needed to go along with the meal. But I do HIGHLY recommend this place. The End! RIP Arnold Palmer! You are the man! ⛳ 🏌️‍♂️

    Absolutely one of the finest restaurants in all of the Desert! Special occasions, birthdays, anniversaries or just going out and wanting to have some of the finest food for dinner, Palmer's is second to none!

    As a native Western Pennsylvanian, of course I’m going to already love the concept of Arnie’s classic, sophisticated restaurant. But WOW! We celebrated our anniversary on the patio last night, shared the surf and turf (filet, lobster tail) had an old fashioned, shrimp cocktail and everything was divine! Ambiance was a 10, service a 10, the quality and presentation a 10. ❤️ Highly recommend.

    Excellent service, food and ambiance. Had to get an Arnold Palmer, when in Rome. The food was delicious especially the meatloaf. The gentleman playing the guitar was very good that night. We will definitely be back when it opens again after Summer.

    Wonderful outdoor dining experience. Live guitar music as I enjoyed the best filet entree under beautiful palm trees. Fine dining in the desert at its best. Service and food is top notch.

    Excellent meal and great atmosphere. Well worth the visit. Had the scallops and shrimp which were perfect. Wine had the Branzino, which she loved. Good wine list at fair prices.

    Exactly what you want it to be. We had a reso outside but due to weather they took the initiative to move us inside. Valet and hostess desk without flaw or wait. Great table, nice ambiance and an attentive but non intrusive server. Check. Ordered the tempura green beans, calamari, BLT chopped salad to start. Everything was delightful but the calamari is very saucy. You have to love sweet chili sauce to enjoy it. Mains were the meatloaf, shrimp and ravioli, cauliflower steak and caramelized scallops. Best were the shrimp and the scallops but everything was incredible. Next time I'll be trying to filet and Coachella date appy. Big thanks to Adrian for making our guest's birthday memorable.

    The service was excellent, food was good. We heard the bacon wrapped dates were awesome but didn’t get them…. Oopsie!

  • 4/5 Steve B. 1 year ago on Google
    Their attention to detail was impressive. Not surprising that getting a table here is difficult. We booked a week in advance. We ordered the Bronzino, NY steak and pork chops. All well executed and come to the table piping hot. Better than most steak houses I’ve been to in the desert. Especially because of the wide array of choices and cocktails. Should’ve taken more pictures. Here are the tender Korean sticky ribs.

    Honestly, THE BEST filet mignon ever! My daughter's rehearsal dinner started with some amazing apps: crab cakes, calamari, tempura green beans, and bacon wrapped dates. I had the satisfying French onion soup, THE BEST filet mignon, and the superb raspberry cheesecake. The coffee service was perfect. The customer service was absolutely fantastic. They took very good care of us! Highly recommended!

    Everything was amazing. Outdoor dining. Under beautiful palm trees. Guitar music. Prime rib was the best. Fine dining at its best. About $50-$100 per person.

    Thanksgiving 2023 was spent at tithis very special restaurant. The menu was limited, of course, but had something for everyone. The food was delicious, and plentiful. And, as usual, the service was exceptional. Thanks to Dustin and the crew for making this an especially nice Thanksgiving. Thankfully, the restaurant is committed to quality at a very affordable price.

    Just an awesome place. We ate on the patio, such a nice spot. Great food, great service. 4 adults, one toddler, (2 y/o), everyone had a great time. Would definitely go back.
