The 25 Best Restaurants & Bars In Palm Springs - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Located in the courtyard of the former Cary Grant estate, the almost entirely outdoor space (with ridiculous mountain views) is that idyllic Palm Springs setting you trekked out past the windmills and into the desert to experience. Also, they make an incredible steak. If you’re looking for that quintessential Palm Springs date night—or hoping to reenact the most iconic scene in Real Houswives history—this is it." - brant cox

What a great way to celebrate New Year's Eve. Copley's curated a special menu to celebrate the New Year's celebration. They created a menu with 6 starters and 7 Entrée with a Chef's Tiramisu. Our waiter Ray was very welcoming and attentive. The inside seating has a warm comfort feel. The tables were decorated with New Year's festivities and we had a New Year's hat and a tiara waiting for us to wear for an added fun of celebration. I was able to enjoy the Truffle Lobster & Sweet Corn Risotto and Charred Beef Filet & Lobster Tail with their Quicksand cocktail. Very delicious and flavorful. Risotto was tame starter but freshly made with delicious ingredients. The beef was prepared medium well and lobster was done perfectly with a scoop of a potato/lobster salad. Very fresh. My partner had the Seared Diver Scallops and Braised Prine Beef Shoert Ribs. All very delicious and flavorful. Scallops were well prepared. The Beef was very tender that it fell off the bone. So delicious. The cherry on top, pun intended, the Chef's Tiramisu was sweet and fresh. The chocolate was very good. A great way to end the meal. Cocktails and drinks were tasty and mixed well. Perfect balance to the food. Thank you to the staff for such a great experience. A zenful and unforgettable meal to end the year.

My husband and I enjoyed our meal here. The outdoor ambience is lovely, but it was too chilly for us to eat outside. The indoor area where we sat was just average. The short rib special was very good and tender, but we had a better short rib at another PS restaurant earlier this week. The crème brûlée was average. It had an odd peach flavor. I prefer vanilla crème brûlée. Friendly service.

This was a very homey, and friendly atmosphere. No reservations? The bartenders made us feel like welcome family. Warm conversation, pleasant meal, wonderful service. The staff make the difference! **highly recommend Ahi Tuna Taco app! Wonderful infusion of flavors. Caesar salad with pineapple croutons? An unexpected surprize!

Lovely experience. There is a charming entrance which nicely sets the tone for the dining experience. We choose to eat inside as we were there off-season and it was still a bit warm out. The wait staff was attentive and the manager stopped at the table to say "hello". The picture doesn't do the salmon meal justice as my companion had already taken a bite. We split the meal and it was delicious. Although the bread was $10 for three pieces, I ordered it anyway. It was fine but not anything special. Overall, it was a wonderful experience.

I was really hoping to love this place but it was a little off. There was a large wedding party seated in the courtyard and the staff had trouble keeping up with the rest of the guests. Our server was very apologetic, but the lapses were hard to ignore. For example my wife and I ordered glasses of wine with our entrees, which were slow to arrive, but the wine didn’t show up until we were almost finished eating. We noticed neighboring tables having the same experience. We ordered a ceviche appetizer and it was delightful and right sized for two to share. My entree was the daily special short ribs. The meat was cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. My wife had scallops with shrimp timbale. She thought the scallops were lacking a good sear and the shrimp was underwhelming. We had a cremé brûlée desert with after dinner drinks. The appetizer and desert were the highlight of the meal.

We hadn’t eaten at Copleys for a few years and were looking forward to going back. The atmosphere is, as it always has been, wonderful. The service was attentive: no complaints so far. But the food was honestly awful. We wanted to like it but it was either bad (vegetables that tasted like they were sitting around for a few days) or just not good enough. The beet salad had such a strong taste of cloves it ruined the taste. The special of the day - seared tuna loin was just strange. The tuna was swimming in what tasted like bottled sweet chili sauce. The accompanying mashed potatoes might have been instant potatoes. The wedge salad was served with dollops of tapenade and guacamole. The duck was the best meal but again, the flavours of the sides didn’t work. There’s something going on in the kitchen and it’s not good. It’s too bad as the atmosphere is just so beautiful.

6 of us decided to have dinner at Copley's Jan. 4 and for many reasons were disappointed. The previous night we ate at Spencer's and would recommend that restaurant as it is far superior. Copley's had great service, terrace dining was unique and food quality was excellent however.....it fell short in many areas Circular table on Terrace was out of balance. We had a hard time keeping it from rocking until we were able to get someone to come and help to try to level it off. Limited menu and how dare they charge $10 for bread. Our server said he would come back with specials and we were waiting to hear them because the menu is so limited however when he came back, he said unfortunately there were no specials because they’re sold out. Our dinner reservation was 6:30 PM and they are sold out of the specials? Are you kidding me? After dinner, the server asked if we like desserts and we said sure let’s see the menu and we proceeded to order cappuccino and hot coffee before ordering dessert. However, our server replied that unfortunately they have no hot beverages available because their coffee pot broke. Yes it broke so we had no dessert with no hot beverages available. find somewhere else to spend over $400

This is now my favorite restaurant in palm springs. The food is amazing and our server, Chad, was knowledgeable, friendly and gave us fabulous service. I like eating in the inside as it is very cozy and welcoming. I cannot say enough about the food and the Cocktails too. This is really a first rate and very lovely dining establishment. It has a gorgeous patio, but I still prefer the inside. If you like eating outside, though, you will be very pleased. I can’t say enough about this place.

Let me tell you. I'm the Queen of research. I looked all over where to go, bookmarked places, visited other restaurants and then came to Copleys. Come. The views, the atmosphere, the servers, the drinks.... Should I keep going??? I came solo dining and was so happy this is where I netted out. Their salads are out of this world, variety on the menu. Sit outside if you can. That's where it's at. Also Chad is amazing and if he is working sit in his section.

Solid 5! Located close to the heart of Palm Springs. Easy parking in a dedicated parking lot. Charming venue. Wonderful menu selection with options for everyone. Delicious food. Outstanding service! My group of three visited on a Tuesday evening. When we arrived, it was light outside. By the time we left, it was dark and the beautiful twinkle lights lit up the expansive outdoor dining area, making it look magical. Dogs are allowed on the patio. :) Since it was hot during our visit, we chose to sit inside. The indoor dining area was a bit smaller, but simple and charming. The vibe was relaxed and social. There were several groups celebrating special occasions. Some dressed in semi-formal attire. We selected the Pot Stickers, Manhattan Steak, 2 Beet Salads, the Sesame Seed Crusted Tofu, the Ahi Special. Everything came out in the proper order and in a timely matter. Our food was artistically plated and in good portion. The steak was generously sized looking larger than stated on the menu. The sauces, flavors and textures of everything was incredibly delicious! Our server, Raymond B., was exceptional. He was polite, friendly and perfectly attentive, not annoyingly attentive as some can be. Pricing was reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. Thank you Raymond B. and the entire Copleys' team!

A Palm Springs landmark restaurant with an unmatchable vibe! If you visit Palm Springs, then a reservation at Copley's is almost a mandatory requirement because it is the epitome of the restaurant scene here. Food (4.5/5) Expect New American cuisine when dining here. There are some daily specials, but the menu items have remained the same for years and are still delicious. Mandatory orders at this restaurant include the bread and butter for two, Copleys Caesar salad, and the New York steak. One of the most famous menu items at this restaurant is the Copleys Caesar salad because instead of regular bread croutons, the restaurant uses pan fried pineapple chunks as the replacement for the bread croutons. The combination breaks the conventional barriers of a traditional Caesar salad and is one of their more creative items to order (do not miss out on this!) The New York steak is also a solid choice here for a hearty meal and the caramelized onions on top pair with the steak perfectly. The truffle Parmesan fries are a little overkill but can be shared generously with the table. The dessert selection is interesting because the chocolate soufflé is more of a molten lava cake than an actual soufflé; yet, the dish itself is not too bad flavor wise. Out of all the items on the dessert menu I'd still order the chocolate soufflé as it was not too heavy compared to the other options. Service (4/5) The service is a little spotty since the restaurant is almost entirely outdoors in a large courtyard. If the restaurant is busy, expect to wait to find your waiter or get a water refill. The workers here are always in a good mood and are knowledgeable of the menu as well. Ambiance (5/5) A truly one of a kind restaurant inside the Cary Grant Estate where diners get incredible views of the San Jacinto mountain range (plan your reservation near sunset for an incredible experience). The old school charm of this restaurant makes for a special occasion as well. Opt out for the limited indoor seating and sit in the outdoor courtyard so you can take advantage of the outdoor views. Limited bar seating is available for people without a reservation, but I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation online as the restaurant is usually fully booked throughout the year.

Let me start by saying I love this place. We eat here as often as we can. The overall food very good, the staff is excellent. The setting is perfect. The only problem is that they need to upgrade their beef. The last several visits left our guest in a wrestling match with their meat. A neighboring table made the same comment. Hopefully this is helpful to the chef.

Decided to check out Copleys as it was recommended by multiple people. The menu had a good variety and we decided to order the prosciutto, melon, kiwi salad, prime NY steak and the short rib dinner special. The steak was cooked to perfection and really loved the sauce and caramelized onions on top. The truffle parm fries were the best I've had! Perfect French fry texture with just the right amount of truffle. Short rib was incredible and melt in your mouth. Our server was very friendly and staff overall super nice.

Had a great time there. The staff was fabulous. Let DK, our server, decide on the Lamb or steak. Lamb was excellent. The place was quaint, but not stuffy. Very hospitable. Nice restaurant to have your anniversary at.

Copleys is a contemporary American restaurant housed in Cary Grant's old estate. The outdoor garden is beautiful and definitely where you want to make your reservation. We didn't know and we made our reservation for inside where the atmosphere isn't quite as magical. We split their Caesar Salad, but I wasn't a fan of the pineapple croutons. It added a strange element to the dish. For our mains we had the Organic Chicken Schnitzel, which you can't go wrong with, and the Fresh Seafood Fettuccine in a romesco sauce. Portions are huge and we took home leftovers. Dining here is a special experience, but you could even pop in for a glass from their extensive wine list.

It's always nice as a vegetarian to look at a menu at a high-end restaurant and find that there are not only two possible main dishes, but neither of them are pasta. I had a delicious dinner with seasonal vegetables, satiating portions, and tasty sauce. The view of the mountains was beautiful, with the sun setting. I think the outdoor seating is better than indoor for the mountain view, fountain, trees, and ambiance. You might thank yourself for bringing a light sweater because the wind comes cold. I will say that even though this was fine dining, the prices were not as high as one might expect. I had a full glass of sparkling wine from France for $13. Service is very helpful, and slightly sassy.

Copley's is one of my all time Palm Springs favorites! Housed in a former Cary Grant guest house, the place is beautiful offering lots of outdoor dining and some indoor dining. The food is a 10 every time I visit. Service is always great. Wine pour is always generous. I tried a vegetarian option and it was delicious. BRAISED MISO CAULIFLOWER & BOK CHOY I never had a bad experience here.

Dinner at Copley's was... meh. The atmosphere isn't bad (a little boring indoors, but we ate outdoors and the courtyard area is somewhat nice...) Food wasn't bad, but also nothing noteworthy. We got: beet salad (the goat cheese brulee was very tasty), salmon and shrimp poke, and the branzino fish special of the evening. The salmon poke sauce could have been better... tasted exactly like watered-down teriyaki. It also could have come with some sort of starch (rice or chips, for example.) The branzino was cooked well, but was a tiny portion... Maybe 2-3 ounces of fish (though it did also come with two tiger prawns.) The cocktail menu didn't have very interesting drinks, but we got a couple anyway; they were kind of meh, especially for the price ($16-18 each ) The espresso martini was weak and watery, and the coffee in it didn't taste like espresso. We looked at the wine menu to have some with the meal, but a bottle I just bought at Albertson's for $17.99 was listed for $60 at Copley's, which told me everything I need to know about their wine prices (so we just had water with the meal.) Service was overall okay, after we sat there for quite a while before someone came to wait on us. Overall, there was nothing terrible about the experience, but it was overpriced and wasn't as special as I'd hoped it would be. Probably won't be back.

Wow! Copley's were the PERFECT place for NYE Dinner. Stellar ambiance, service and food from start to finish. Their NYE menu was delicious and well priced. The filet, lobster tail and branzino were fantastic. My husband and I will be coming back soon.

We have eaten at Copley's many times before, never disappointed... util now. The positive: Short rib 9/10. Scallops, which would have been 8/10 if they didn't come with a medallion of cat food masquerading as salmon, 6/10. Server 8/10. The negative: Hostess 0/10. Upon arrival early for our reservation we find the hostess berating her staff... something about getting ice, or NOT getting ice... who knows. It was so weird that we asked her if she needs a moment to... well... regain her composure. She tells us we reserved a patio table. It was raining. We asked if she meant for us to sit under the rain. Her response: "You should have called to tell us you don't want to sit in the rain." Guess accommodating guests is not her thing. We squeeze ourselves at a table between the entrance and the bus station, under a tiny awning. I asked her what her name was. She barks at us: "Shannon". Five second later she returned to scream "DO. YOU. HAVE. A. PROBLEM?", and yet another few seconds later she throws what she claimed to be the "owner's card" at us. Clearly not her first time she's done that! If the owner cared, she wouldn't have a job at Copley. All this was happening while a hand full of staff was standing around, watching... aghast! Our poor server tried to make up for her shocking behavior by profusely apologizing through out the evening.

We may or may not have made a trip to Palm Springs JUST to dine at Copley's on July 10th before their summer break. The food, service, and atmosphere are all 10/10. This was our first time ordering the chicken and lemongrass potstickers and it won't be our last. It comes with 4 pieces- perfect for 2 to split. I usually would order a fish dish but I opted for the lamb this time and it was INCREDIBLE. I'm a big fan. We sat inside since it was simply too hot to be outside, and the ambience was honestly just as romantic and cozy. I can't wait for Copley's to reopen at the end of August!

With a restaurant as wonderful as Copley's, reviews are quite unneccessary. It is perfectly located on Palm Canyon, and hosts gracious and professional service indoors and...on an amazing patio, offers up fabulously good tasting food, with more than an accommodating wine list. This place, Copley's, may very well be the whole reason you came to Palm Springs. If you miss it, you haven't lived.

Nightmarishly slow service. Be prepared to wait at least an hour between ordering and getting the food. The food is decent The place is overpriced The service is friendly but utterly slow especially on the weekends you probably want to go somewhere else.

3.45367 stars My family and I have made our rounds through the Palm Springs restaurant loop, so it was only natural we'd find ourselves at Copleys. The outdoor dining is gorg except the night we dined here, part of it was closed off for a private event, so it was only medium gorg. As with the space, we could only experience some of the menu - they literally ran out of everything meat related - the steak and meat special. It was rather disappointing. We started with the chicken & lemongrass potstickers ($18). The potstickers are stuffed with caramelized fennel ginger + onions, pickled mushrooms + miso on top of a sweet soy sauce + bacon dressing topped with crushed wasabi peas. These were Asiany in flavor, but there was nothing particularly memorable about them except that the wrapper to filling ratio was pretty good. You get 4 for $15 which is a little pricey, but I get it because Copley's is supposed to be fancy. I ordered the Roasted Australian Barramundi ($37). The fish sits on a bed of herb scented farro, asparagus tips, smokey romesco sauce, roasted tomatoes, basil pine nut mint + cilantro pesto. Description wise, there are a lot of flavors, however, the most distinct was the smokey romesco sauce which was an okay good pairing with the fish. Again, there was nothing memorable about my fish except that it was a very nice entree in a very nice restaurant. Copley's was a nice dining experience for both myself and my family, but it's not the kind of place I'd dine at again.

Copley's is a lovely restaurant space just the right number of blocks away from the busiest section of Palm Canyon Drive, with their own parking lot to boot. They feature both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can choose between having a casual or more upscale experience. The wait staff is very well trained: friendly, professional, efficient and good at what they do. We arrived early for our reservation, so we posted up at the bar and ordered drinks. My martini was perfectly made, and bolstered by bleu cheese olives, while my wife's "Liz Is Plum Crazy" was a very flavorful update of a Cosmo. Once seated at our table, our server was attentive and gregarious, and very helpful with the menu (this was our first time eating here). To start, we shared the Hawaiian Ahi Poke Tacos -- very fresh, well-seasoned tuna served on sesame "taco shells" (much the same as the cones used for the same type of dish at Spago) with avocado crema and tobiko. These were excellent. Packed with flavor and very enjoyable -- so much so, I forgot to get a photo. On to the entrees. My wife ordered the Chicken Schnitzel, which is a very generous portion of pan-fried chicken cutlet served with veggies and a bed of refreshingly sharp goat cheese mashed potatoes, all topped with a bit of nicely acidic cranberry relish. A very good dish that neatly walked the line between old world comfort food and up-to-date cheffy fun. On the flip side, I opted for one of the nighty specials: Osso Buco, which was served with asparagus and traditional mashed potatoes. It was a beautifully composed plate, and the meat was very tender -- but, overall, the dish was lacking in flavor. The jus was just the right consistency, but added very little in terms of taste. Mind you, this dish was not "bad," it just didn't have that rich and comforting flavor one usually finds with Osso Buco. Despite this, I would happily return to Copley's for great drinks, those amazing ahi poke tacos, and to try something else from the selection of entrees. The meal may not have been perfect, but this was a perfectly nice way to spend the evening.

Looking for an upscale Dinner with our 5 Grandaughters while visiting Palm Springs. Shannon called to offer us indoor seating due to the heat, as we had requested outside, and it was the perfect suggestion. Chad was our server.. very knowledgeable about the menu and his suggestions were spot on! The food was wonderful.. each dish prepared perfectly and so tasty. The ambience was quiet and cozy..

Had dinner here. The place has a lovely outdoor patio, quite romantic. Had an empanada as appetizer; it was cold and soggy when we received it. For entrees, ordered salmon and bronzini. The salmon was cooked well, but veggies were undercooked. The bronzini was good. Our waiter also had a bad attitude with us because we sent back a cocktail that was badly prepared. So, I would not return nor recommend.

We had an incredible dining experience at Copley's in Palm Springs! The outdoor ambiance was exceptional -- such a beautiful, relaxing setting that perfectly captures the charm of Palm Springs. Everything from the atmosphere to the food was outstanding, but what truly made the night unforgettable was our waiter, Victor. He was easily the best waiter we've ever had -- so passionate about the food, genuinely pleasant to interact with, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to engage with us, share thoughtful recommendations, and his enthusiasm really elevated the entire experience. You can tell he truly cares about making every guest's night special. We left feeling not only full but delighted. Can't recommend Copley's (and Victor!) enough.

This historic spot was a must dine when I was in Palm Springs. This restaurant sits on a for Cary Grants guest quarters. While I was told there's no remnants left of Cary grants home, it's still cool to be on his former property. We dined outside. But the decor is very cool if u decide to dine inside. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We started at app and drinks. They make a very good filthy martini. If you do t like olives, they have a sweet martini that is just as delicious. The menu is spendy. So several of us shared items and some ate an app for their entree. I splurged and had the beet salad and the barramundi. Forgot to take a pic. It was beautifully plated and delicious. The portions are small. They have gf and vegetarian options. The ladies restroom was very cute. Gotta check it. There may be more newer, less expensive restaurants, but just like Cary Grant it's a classic and worth it.

To start, this is my 6th time here in as many years and I so wanted to enjoy a great meal as I've had in the past. Service is always top notch and they get kudos for that. The food was quite disappointing to say the least: * It was restaurant week so that may have played a small part... you could tell the servers had been thru a busy evening... the service was good, but not as on point as in the past. * we ordered off the Prix-fix menu. The Salmon and the New York strip ( extra charge ) with a Caesar and the Beet salad as starters. My Caesar came out ( a handful at best) in a hot bowl that must have come straight out of the dishwasher. It had already started to sour the dressing and had the slight taste of warm salami. The beet salad was a small step up, but if you took the 5 grapes off the plate you had a micro portion... The New York strip ( prime ?)... was a rather large / generous portion , but that wasn't necessarily a good thing in this case. It came out nice and pink as ordered, but it was flavorless and almost chalky tasting. Whatever the glaze or sauce that it was covered with, added only a clear glaze that was bound to congeal at some point , and a complete lack of flavor. The broccoli crowns were flash seared and flavorless as well. The truffle fries were delicious! The salmon was better, but it reminded me why I never order salmon in a restaurant.. just good, but that's it. Potatoes were fine... The mini deserts were just good ... ended up taking them Togo... We brought our own bottle of wine, no cocktails and the total was 220.00 .. Had to give the ( steak , minis 4 bites) to a homeless person sleeping on a bench down the way.. The steak would have been 10x better had it marinated in garlic and sea salt then seared in a cast with a butter finish and ground black pepper. Note, this is the second time in a row that the steak has fallen flat... ~ 60 dollars for a steak ... if food cost is an issue , perhaps going with higher quality and smaller portions!? Make up the difference with extra frites that are basically free!

Copley's never disappoints!! The service is absolutely incredible and the vibe is the best. Every dish that came out was delicious. Short rib empanadas, salads with pineapple croutons, chicken schnitzel, filets, and desserts. Spectacular!! Wear layers as it can get super windy in that area at the base of the mountain. Staff has fuzzy blankets to hand out to guests who came unprepared for the chill book now!

The atmosphere in the outside front courtyard area is LOVELY at The Golden hour. Id always ask to sit outside, just bring something warm to cover up after the sun goes down. The servers are very experienced and lovely. The chef does a great job with most of the dishes. I had the seared ahi tuna with mango sauce...great. The martinis are very cold! Their specialty espresso martini is dreams worthy. Get it!!

Amazing service, not so great food. Since this place has such a great reputation, I had high expectations. The drinks were watered down, the meat was dry, food was bland, and portions were teeny tiny. Unfortunately I would not go back here. BREAD + BUTTER FOR TWO 10 Warm Focaccia | Assorted Ciabatta Rolls | Sea Salted Butter - i'm always salty when a nice place charges for bread. You should not be charging us for bread and the bread was absolutely nothing special. It wasn't even warm, it was just room temperature grocery store bread with plain old butter. At least warm it up and have a special butter if you're making me pay for it. CHEF'S CHOICE OF SOUP 14 - it was mushroom and this was good. TRIO OF HAWAIIAN AHI TACOS 22Avocado | Green Onion | Sesame Shell | Ginger Soy | Tobiko - tasted good but oh boy are these small and bite sized. You can't charge that much for this tiny portion. CRISPY EMPANADA 19Prime Braised Beef Short Ribs | Caramelized Onions | Horseradish Cream | Tomato Bacon Jam | Frisee - overrated. Too much crust and slightly dry meat. Not as dry as the pork but too dry. Also barely had any scream / jam and it needed that flavor. Same w onions, lacking overall. LOBSTER MAC N CHEESE 22Elbow Pasta | Lobster | Rich and Creamy Cheese Sauce | Parmesan Panko Crust - the best thing we ordered! ORGANIC GREENS & CRISPY BRIE 18 Yellow Beets | Cucumber & Tiny Tomatoes | Fresh Cranberry & Apricot Relish | Berries | Candied Walnuts | Lemon Oil - sounds better than it is in reality. The tiny strip of fried brie is good but the salad is so small we couldn't believe it. We are sharing for three people and everyone couldn't get a full portion. They were pretty stingy on the toppings as well and the lettuce was wilting CHARRED BERKSHIRE PORK CHOP 36   Sun Dried Apricots with Honey & White Balsamic | Asparagus | Creamed Baby Spinach | Cherry Pork Reduction - this was so dry! The meat was poor quality or overcooked, I don't know. But the meat was really dry and didn't have a great flavor anyways but could have just been ruined by the dryness. Special of the day - fish dish - bland and small portion. It came with rice I believe it was, plain white rice. Do not recommend Vanilla & Peach Crème Brulee with Fresh Berries - super bland and lackluster. Didn't taste the peaches at all Drinks - so watered down we questioned if there was alcohol in a few of them Service - excellent! Absolutely wonderful service. This is the only reason I gave them two stars, wonderful service

What a hidden gem!!! Of course have driven by numerous times..but had no idea. We are on the patio....which we loved. The inside is beautiful too...just a different vibe. Food was AMAZING! Loved the tofu entree and the roasted cauliflower.

We love it every time we come to Copley's. Tonight, we had the pleasure of sitting with Amine and could not have been happier or more impressed. His recommendation on wines and entrees was absolutely on point, and the friendly conversation and occasional jokes kept the night moving right along. The flow of the meal, the delivery, the presentation... everything! Absolutely perfect! Happy Birthday to you Amine!! I'm sorry you had to work tonight, but so glad to have met you. Until we meet again my friend.

We have been coming here for almost 15 years now, and it is still one of our favorite Palm Springs restaurant when we're up for a bit of a splurge. We love the atmosphere, and the historic Cary Grant 1940s cottage and patio with the peaceful grassy courtyard and gorgeous views of the the sun setting over Mount San Jacinto. It is classic, classy, yet comfortable. The food, service, and hand-crafted cocktails are always well-done. It seemed like nearly every table had a martini on this steamy day in May that reached over 100 degrees. We happened to be here for Restaurant Week this year, and so got to take advantage of the 3-course menu for $59. I had the potstickers (pretty good, but wouldn't order again), the Scottish salmon w/ mashed potatoes and asparagus (excellent as always) and the toffee & date bread pudding w/ Tahitian vanilla ice cream (an extra $8; I'm not usually a desert person, but this was amazing!). My husband had the Coply's Caesar Salad which which was really flavorful; wasn't a fan of the "pineapple croutons," but rest was great), the Braised prime beef short ribs w/ lobster mashed potato, wild mushrooms and merlot sauce (extra $15) - oh my gosh - absolutely delicious, even the broccoli was so fresh and flavorful. He got the dessert duo of Apple Streusel and Chocolate Kahlua dome, pretty good, but the bread pudding was definitely the winner! Looking forward to returning!

As a visiting family in Palm Springs, we made a reservation to celebrate a birthday one night. Upon arrival, there was a small parking lot for the restaurant itself so it was not hard to find parking at all, despite being downtown. Even the entrance itself is stunning. We loved the decor and use of lights, as well as the ambience that the heaters gave due to their flames. We were seated right away, in their outdoor seating which is the center of the place. This table was spacious and surrounded with 3 heaters. We actually asked for an additional heater mid-dinner as it was still very cold and initially was told that the manager would not allow it as a safety concern, but a couple minutes after, one of the employees (a manager/supervisor) brought another one over, which really helped. In addition, they also offered blankets since the beginning of the meal. This added to the mood of dinner and I loved that coziness to it. One of the most memorable parts of our night was the service. Our server was very well-versed with the menu and gave her recommendations in a very well-spoken way. She was very attentive to our needs throughout the night and even brought a complementary dessert for our birthday member! The other gentleman who was in charge of clearing the table was also very attentive and made sure to ask before taking items away. The manager/supervisor also came by to check on us often. We ordered a couple starters to share which was difficult since they're small plates but we didn't want to spoil our appetite for the mains. We managed to all taste a little of everything and everything was extremely flavorful and beautiful in presentation. The mushroom butter that was paired with the bread was so fragrant. The ahi tuna tacos were so small and left me wanting more! For my main, I ordered the New York Strip Steak, medium rare, which was paired with asparagus as well as Truffle Parm Fries. I highly recommend this dish as everything was well cooked and delicious. Portions were also very reasonable for the price. Another member at the table ordered their special which was paired with a lobster mac and cheese and that was such a nice pairing with the short ribs. To finish off the meal, I ordered the Sticky Pudding to share. Another highly recommended dessert as it was not too sweet and so yummy, especially paired with the Tahitian vanilla ice cream. Don't let the four $$$$ deter you from visiting as the food, ambience, and service is worth every penny.

Beautiful patio and house setting. Recommend the patio many outdoor heaters to keep you warm. This was Cary Grants former estate. Menu is continental. Heavy emphasis on meat dishes. Our server was Grace was an excellent server too! I ordered a Caesar salad with salmon. It was perfect Try the plum martini too!

Wow! After years of meaning to try this beautiful restaurant in a property formerly owned by Cary Grant, and knowing Chef Copley is an award winning chef who has been here for twenty years, my husband and I finally had dinner here. Our high expectations were wildly surpassed. We were professionally seated at our choice of tables on the large patio facing the historic building with mountain views, totally walled off from Palm Canyon and the parking lot making for a quiet setting. A large wedding dinner taking place in the trellised back corner didn't disrupt the pleasant ambiance. Our beet salad came with a goat cheese creme brulee that was seriously flavorful. My salmon was perfectly grilled, and my husband's short ribs fell off the bone and very tasty. We shared the english toffee and date sticky pudding served with Tahitian vanilla bean ice cream, another perfect taste pairing. My Godiva chocolate martini was superb.

We live 20 min from Copleys and last minute decided to try this past Sunday evening. First I checked the stars here on yelp and they looked good. Honestly I do not know how they have even 3 stars and thankfully upon drilling down thru the reviews t today.. I see enough that shared our experience. The others either got lucky or don't dine out enough. My wife and I have been to many of the finest restaurants in many major cities so we know what is excellent food. So now w our review: We ordered the pork chops and the "special" short ribs. We both kept quiet during our meal and didn't express how tasty each morsel was. The pork chop on a scale 1-10 was a 3 as it was simply BLAND. The spinach was like soggy and BLAND. These two ring hard potatoes BLAND anc couldn't figure out the point in their being on the plate. The sauce which can make or break was BLAND. Does the chef taste or have taste ???? My wife short ribs over salty and BLAND. The best part was literally the bread we had to ask for in which they charge $10. Why not have valet parking as it was hard to park in that lot and skip the $10 bread. The house merlot was also nothing to speak about. If the dinner was $50 we would have been disappointed and I would not even have bothered to write a review. However at $140 before tip, the food quality was not only dismal, IT WAS UNACCEPTABLE. The worst meal I ever had for any dinner above $100 for certain. The worst meal in Palm Springs. Next time I try a high end restaurant I am going to drill further down to read the negative reviews. In this case the word "bland" kept coming up.

One of our go to restaurants when visiting Palm Springs from Orange County. What we can count on is amazing service, a beautiful setting and delicious food. Menu is often changing which is a good thing. On our latest trip for a family members birthday, I opted for the prime beef fillet (8oz). This was wrapped in apple bacon, served with fingerling potatoes and creamed spinach. This dish was delicious and cooked to my liking. Others in my family had the duck, pot roast, soup, and salmon. For dessert, we got the toffee & date English sticky pudding which was amazing like always. Can definitely share this with the table. And a chocolate souffle cake for the birthday guy. Both desserts were taken care of by the restaurant, which was a nice touch. Will be back when visiting the area again. Alex is a great server so try to get in her section if you can.

Very Disappointing Experience - Made Worse by How It Was Handled We are locals in the area and chose this restaurant on September 23rd to celebrate a special occasion -- a birthday dinner with a party of six. While we had many other options to choose from, we decided to dine here based on previous experiences and good word of mouth. Unfortunately, the evening turned out to be memorable for all the wrong reasons. Four out of the six of us ordered the ahi tuna dish, and by later that night, all four of us were experiencing severe stomach issues -- including stomach aches, vomiting, and diarrhea that carried into the next day. Needless to say, it completely ruined the celebration and left us extremely concerned about the quality and safety of the food. We called the restaurant to report what had happened, hoping for a sincere response and some accountability. Instead, the manager we spoke to simply said she would "pass the message along to the chef." There was no apology, no follow-up, and no real acknowledgment of how serious the situation was. As locals, it's disappointing to feel so dismissed -- especially after choosing this place over many others for a special occasion. Mistakes can happen in any kitchen, but the way this was handled showed a real lack of care for customer well-being and satisfaction. We won't be returning and hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously -- both in terms of food safety and how they respond when something goes wrong.

The service was 5 stars, blow me away. The food was a little underwhelming unfortunately. :( We got the lemon potstickers, rolls for the table, and me and my partner split the Caesar salad and steak. The best thing by far were the chicken lemon stickers, they were so good and I HUGHLY recommend as an appetizer. Ambiance was cute as we sat outside but right next to the servers station so constant chatter and chaos in that area. Overall I would go back, our server was the best, I forget his name but he blew us away.

Came here late at night for a birthday celebration and just for fair warning there is not much parking at this restaurant so make sure you either plan ahead or uber to the location. Succinctly this restaurant has so much to offer. The interior is a little cozy but if you get the privilege to sit outside it's truly a beguiling experience. I recommend going at night because of the excellent contrast the environment makes with their lights at night. The service was very prompt and responsive all most too responsive if that's a thing. The point is they were always around when you needed them. I would be lying if I said the food was only half as good as the beautiful environment. The food easily exceeded my expectations. The menu had a good variety of appetizers and entrees. They had a humongous variety of alcoholic beverages but I'm not yet old enough to drink so I'll leave it to you to try. I looked at the menu and I was between the duck dish and the lamb. Mind you, neither of these things I've tried but since I'm more partial to beef than chicken I ordered the lamb. The lamb dish was served with a side of a parsnip cream and a potato mint purée's and they were great but the meat and lamb stock reduction were the stars of the show. The lamb was cooked to perfection. Not only was it so very tender but its flavor was impeccable. I am very glads this was my first experience trying any sort of lamb dish. The desert I orders was the Chocolate lava cake which was also nothing but excellent. If you come here expect a masterclass in hospitality and visuals and taste.

The food was exquisite - Special Braised Short Ribs with Lobster Mashed Potatoes with a mushroom reduction sauce! Also another special - Seared Ahi Tuna! And a menu dish - a delish salmon dish! The appetizer Chicken & Lemongrass pot stickers were a great start! Charley was our great Server and was so efficient and aware of our every need! We had a lovely indoor table looking out at the center fountain and the outdoor dinning area! Copleys is one of our favorite Restaurants in the Valley!

We had the pleasure of dining here last night for a birthday. The GM Shannon & server Chad were outstanding. They fulfilled our special requests perfectly! Our party each ordered different entrees, all were phenomenal, as were our beverages. The dining area has a cozy & welcoming vibe which was very enjoyable. We look forward to returning and we highly recommend this fine establishment!

First time at Copley's for me and my two friends. Upon entering we were impressed by the very nice ambiance. Waiter was attentive and helpful. The food was average to mediocre. I had the pork chop which had a very impressive presentation. I was eager to cut into it. As I cut pieces off I noticed that they were very fatty and grisly. In fact, there were probably 3 small bites of meat on the whole chop. I left a large pile of inedible fat and gristle on the plate. How can any chef in good conscience serve up such a fatty terrible pork chop? Because this was a reunion of old friends I didn't say anything as I didn't want to interrupt our fun time together. My friend had the seafood fettuccini. He said it was just okay and was rather light on the seafood. Other friend had the chicken schnitzel which he said was excellent. His goat cheese potatoes were excellent as well. On the positive side, my desert breeze cocktail was very good. We had the empanadas for the appetizer and they were delicious. In fact, we ordered a second portion because they were so good. The spinach that came with the fatty pork chop was very good. Now the bread. Ten dollars for a basket of 4 small pieces of bread? Ouch. It was no better than any bread you can buy in a grocery store. Waiter asked us if we wanted a second basket. Complementary? Nope. Another ten dollars. No thank you In summary, for what we got, this place was way overpriced and average quality at best.

So, on an impromptu mini road trip out of the city with my friend, we stopped by the outlets and were getting hungry and parched. While driving to Palm Springs (she's never been here before), she found this place and read to me the mini history. I loved it and here we are! Parking was a little tight but that's good news! It's a popular place and that means food is good. Upon entry, we saw a beautiful garden-like dining with guests happy and eating yummy-looking food. We were able to enjoy the ambience and the views before we were greeted to be seated. I enjoyed chatting with the lady behind us. She lives nearby and recommended the fish. We were seated by Drew and he was very attentive the whole time. Our server was Charlie. Very humble and hardworking. Sweet guy. We ordered our drinks: My friend - Greygoose shot with ice and lime wedge Me - Pinot Grigio from Italy (Bocelli Operetta - Venezie, Italy). Very refreshing and buttery. We also had sparkling water with lime wedges. Appetizers: The Prosciutto with melon and burrata was surprisingly delicious and a great start to dinner. Never ate melon with prosciutto before but I've always loved burrata with heirloom tomato and prosciutto. The mashed avocado and micro basil as well as the lemon olive oil was such a nice and refreshing flavor. We also thought about ordering the chilled chef's soup. It's made with butternut squash and Granny Smith apples. But that's for another day. In the meantime, we ate the "Bread & Butter" (see pics) and let me tell you... their housemade cornbread was orgasmic! The rosemary bread was so delicious too! For dinner, we ordered: Me - The honey seared duck breast, which tasted and looked like juicy steak! I ordered it the way the chef recommended. Delicious! My friend - (Originally the Barramundi aka Sea Bass but switched) Pomegranate glazed Scottish Salmon, which was so tender and juicy. The asparagus was huge! And the farro was added so that was filling. (I just tried a bite) Throughout the night, the service has been great! I wish we could've stayed the whole weekend! Be sure to check out my pics. I highly recommend coming here for date night, intimate night with friends, a small party or even alone time. ‍ They have a full bar! Will definitely come back! Please send our compliments to the chef!

Finally had a chance to dine here last week and I was hoping for better. Apparently housed in the former Cary Grant PS residence, the setting is so ideal/iconic Palm Springs with its open courtyard, mid century tones and stunning landscape background. The hostess stand waiting area is inviting in and of itself. Unfortunately thats where the allure kinda stopped for me. The hostess clearly wants to be sure everyone is made to feel welcome however it comes across as intense at times. The food itself is fair at best - reminded me of dining at a banquet hall or hotel function - the quality and consistency was very overcooked and oxersauced with no real apparent flavor. I had the tuna cones appetizer which were perhaps the worst I've ever had and my salmon was drenched in what seemed to be bbq sauce. I found it offensive they charge $10 for ciabatta rolls they picked up from Sysco food purveyors. I can recommend this location for drinks set in their cute bar in the center of the former house or for dessert however it's a likely skip for food otherwise. Helpful hint - if you see one of the 1001 bachelorette parties that roam through town and this restaurant, ask to be seated elsewhere as you will be thoroughly annoyed.
