   We all enjoyed our dining experience. Food and service was excellent. Surprised they only sold beer and wine but we enjoyed a nice bottle of wine with our meal. Finished our entrees with a couple yummy desserts. We definitely will return.

   One of the best meals we’ve had in PS. Service is top notch…not stuffy…sense of humor (comes with years of training at Spencer’s I’m guessing). Staff seems happy and well orchestrated. Rafa was our waiter and was over the top charming…and proud of the restaurant and what they’ve done.

   Absolutely delicious. Staff was very friendly and food was wonderful. Had the Osso Buco and Beet Salad and they were both exceptional. A “don’t miss” in Palm Springs!

   The ambience of the remodel from previous restaurant is very good. The staff, everyone of them, was exceptional. The food was delicious—one of the better meals so far in 2025. My only criticism is that I would like a few more menu options with a couple of lower price points. That said, we’ve recommended Desert Moon to several people already.

   Great food and service as always! Our entrees of short ribs, chicken, mahi mahi and steak were all beautifully prepared. This is a gem!

   This space used to be another restaurant, possibly a pizza place. While the interior eventually will need some freshening up, I had a great dining experience. The wait staff and front desk are friendly, quick and helpful. While the food isn't particularly innovative, each of the three dishes we had were done really well with a nice balance of flavors and presentation. I/we would definitely come here again

   This was our third visit to Desert Moon. To say that everything was excellent would be and understatement. From the moment we walked in the door, we were treated not only like guests but also like family. The service was outstanding with all the staff being gracious and welcoming. Our food was delicious from start to finish. The wedge salads were beautifully presented and dressed while the butternut squash soup was fantastic. Our entrees of sea bass, chicken and short ribs were incredible with one of our party commenting that the sea bass was the best he had ever had. We finished off the meal with tiramisu and the chocolate cake both of which were absolute delights. Truly one of the best restaurants in the desert!

    Came here for dinner on Friday night. The service and staff are all really great and extremely friendly! Felt welcomed the moment we stepped inside. The food was tasty and the osso buco was one of the best I’ve had in Palm Springs. A couple things could help bring things up a notch, like having an improved wine selection, some minor details in the decor - we sat by the little water fountain which we really liked. Again, this is a newer restaurant, I feel is still getting in stride. But, overall the experience was a good one.
