    Very good service. My husband ordered the ribeye steak. It was definitely not a ribeye. He should have know better than to order that steak in a deli. I ordered the Matzo Ball soup. It was way too salty. Turkey sandwich was ok. Rye bread was not soft, and the turkey was a bit dry.

    The food and service were outstanding. The only issue was the noise level. The restaurant was packed. However, we were seated by a window, which was wonderful. The noise level would not keep me from going back.

    We had a larger party of 6 prime time on a holiday and the service was still great! Our waiter was knowledgable AND FUNNY! Food was wonderful! START WITH DESSERT! Of course the reuben had LOTS of pastrami, Salmon was done just right, and we had chicken salad which was delicious. We drive 40 minutes, passing many other restaurants for our favorite place in Palm Springs! Yay to Manhattan's.

    Personal attention from everyone. Bar tender came to our table to explain how he made the St Patrick’s Irish Coffee. Our waiter frequently checked in. The corn beef has was made at the restaurant, as compared to Ntl brand corned beef hash. Great selection of pastries. Realistically priced. Highly recommend.

    We love the Crème of Broccoli Soup which is served on Sundays and we always try to stop by when we’re visiting Palm Springs to have a bowl. The soup was great as always but the service was a little slower than before. We had to remind our server a couple times for pickles, water and napkins. Got the half sandwich, soup and side salad combo. It was all good.

    Predictably home-town and wholesome feeling, including the warm service, Manhattan in the Desert is like your favorite comfortable blanket that you can pull up to your chin and feel comfortable and secure. Like everywhere else, prices have sneaked up (and portions have slightly diminished) over the years, but the value still exists —especially without all of the nonsense that goes on in others, more in the public view,delis in the area. Their Happy Hour and Early Dinner specials are always reliably value-priced. Check ‘em out!
