Best Historic Restaurants in Palm Springs

Lovely evening, great ambiance and Peter did an excellent job. Steak tartare came with potato chips? Instead of crackers? The fire desserts were presented in a bowl instead of shallow plate and 4 little plates to share. Way too sweet compared to Brennan’s in New Orleans. Bar did not have crème de menthe? For after dinner drink in the bar.

I am going thru the menu with different entries and so far they have all been excellent. My wife is a vegan and she has been taken great care of with different slants of a vegan dish. It’s a great improvement from before. Seems like Le Vallauris has gone thru a wonderful transition with a new chief who cares for all their clients. A+ for making Le Vallauris more vegan friendly! Oh the lobster salad is I think better than before not sure I can put a finger on why but something is a bit different and more flavor plus if u like caviar or oysters they have the best!

Al Dente…a staple (Italian restaurant) in Palm Springs for over 20 years. Unfortunately I don’t go downtown too much to eat and haven’t been here since 2010 or so. Went last night for dinner had the Bolognese with Angel Hair pasta…omg! the best!!!! and fyi the staff remembered me after all these years….WOW! My partner and I loved the dining experience - he had the Salmon and loved it! and said we have to make this a regular place again. I agree!

This is a throwback to the 1960’s, when the Rat Pack played here. Within an old hotel, we were warmly greeted upon entering and shown to our table. The waitress was attentive and graciously fulfilled our requests for putting cheese on the side and swapping a vegetable from one meal to another. The food was delicious! Wasn’t expecting that. We saw a show with Rose headlining. She has a pleasant voice and even more pleasant personality. We stayed to the very end. Thank you, we really enjoyed the experience.

The Staff was great and our server was wonderful. Food was also very good, although I should have just selected one since the portions are quite large. Although we hate the chairs (too hard and uncomfortable), we enjoy eating at the Grand Central.
