Best Lunch Restaurants in Desert Hot Springs

We truly enjoy this this restaurant at ESCENA. All is great as to food and service. Sad part is when they remodeled, they made a choice to put outdoor patio furniture inside. Not the old club and upholstered chairs that used to be there. It makes the atmosphere a bit like a cheesy pizza parlor . 

I rarely give five stars, and when I do it's usually for a grand dining experience that Michelin rates three stars. But our lunch at Spencer's yesterday with a dear out-of-town friend hit a ball of simple pleasures out of the park. The setting is iconic Palm Springs, so beautiful, comfortable and soothing. Our lunch of some of the best split pea soup I've ever had and salmon over a tastily dressed salad (we all had the same thing) that was perfectly cooked to our medium rare request was thoroughly enjoyable. The bottle of albarino that accompanied the food was one of the cheapest on the wine list (a great value), and simply delicious. Service is warm and there when you want it. All in, the experience was just about perfect. Kudos to Spencer's!

We took our family to The Colony Club for brunch on Christmas Day! The staff were amazing and the food was incredible. They also called on the front end to verify we wanted brunch and not the prie fixe Christmas Day menu. We had a wonderful time and always do. Thank you!

Had a lovely Christmas lunch at Lulu California Bistro. There was lots to choose from on the fixed menu, including vegetarian choices, and the food was excellent. From the appetizer to the dessert, we couldn’t have asked for a better meal! My polenta and cauliflower steaks were delicious and generous and my friend’s prime rib was cooked perfectly and he said that it was the best he’s had in a long while. Lulu was a great choice!

How wonderful it was to spend this Christmas Eve with special friends at Eight4Nine. A true treasure in the desert. Food, service and ambiance just perfect! Our server Sean was on it. He couldn’t have been more welcoming and efficient. Eight4Nine you are loved by so many. Thank you for the marvelous times and memories!
