Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge

This has a beautiful old elegance in the best way. It combines ambience with delicious food. We came in a whim and from a recommendation, there was not a dress code, but the service was great. From the purse stands to wait staff placing your napkin in your lap, it was a great experience. The restaurant is very large with lots of seating inside, along with beautiful outdoor seating areas.

The restaurant looks like a trendy art museum and our food was delicious! They were very accommodating to my girlfriend’s garlic intolerance. My only suggestion for improvement would be to have non-alcoholic wine on the menu, and to upgrade the mocktail list

Great food, good service and super cute patio. The menu looked really good for everyone however, I am vegan so I ordered the pear salad and the cauliflower steak. Both were delicious and the portions were decent. The dressing on the pear salad was absolutely delicious. I would visit again great for a date night.

The vibe of the restaurant was good and the food was great, but the service left a terrible taste in my mouth. I had made a special request ahead of time for a dessert to celebrate my husband’s actual birthday. We drove all the way from Los Angeles to Palm Springs for this dinner, and the night should have ended on a high note. Instead, as we were walking out, I reminded the server that he had forgotten. His response? A smirk, followed by, “Would you like it now?” I told him no, that would be silly at that point. He just shrugged, muttered “ok sorry,” and couldn’t even bother to make eye contact. That ruined the entire experience for me. Up until then I was enjoying myself, but that dismissive, careless attitude completely soured the night. We still left a 20% tip, but the truth is, I regret it—I walked out furious. A restaurant can have good food and a nice atmosphere, but when the service is this unprofessional and disrespectful, it overshadows everything else. This is why customers get angry when we are forced to tip high, regardless of the service provided they get compensated either way.

What a wonderful experience for my 47th birthday with a party of 10 in a semi private room. They were so accommodating and cheerful. Exceptional service and food. Love the crab and corn chowder and the braised short rib. The dressing on the poke was exceptional and the galette with goat cheese was perfection.

We had an early reservation on Friday night. 3 of us sat down once we came in. the Bar area was pretty full and I didn't realized how big the restaurant is. They have a very large menu a nice cocktail list and wine list. Cocktails were rather large , nice pour on Martini's. Food wise we had the greens salad, Chicken pot pie, the vegetarian poblano stuffed pepper and the chicken Milanese. All were exceptional. Service was great as was the ambiance. we will defiantly be back

Beautiful restaurant with interesting black, pink and white decor. Food quality is superb. The hollandaise sauce is so rich and creamy. Pork belly hash is so flavorful with their dark sauce. Macchiato cream cake, delicious and not overly sweet sidecar cocktail and cappuccino or both very well done. Servers are super attentive and friendly.

We held our wedding welcome party at Eight4Nine, following the advice of our wedding planner, and could not have asked for more. Incredibly accommodating staff who went above and beyond, awesome atmosphere out on the patio, and of course incredible food. Restaurant is excellent in itself, but as an event space it’s exceptional

I had a Sunday brunch baby shower for my daughter in law. I can't say enough about the staff. Josh did a wonderful job helping me plan it and our server Sean, was amazing, handling 23 women. The food was delicious and they had set the room up perfectly to accommodate us. I highly recommend Eight4Nine as the perfect venue for your special occasion, they have several rooms to perfectly fit the occasion.

This is such a cute place! We loved the art work on the walls and the fact that they had purse trees/hangers to place your purse during your visit. The Chilaquiles were delicious. I loved the flavor, but there was not enough spice for me. They were not soggy, but not crunchy either. I guess a good place in the middle. Short rib hash was absolutely delicious. Great flavor. Kind of sweet. Perfectly poached egg. This place has generous portions when it comes to their food. Even the labneh was huge and filling. The mimosa came with two refills which was also an amazing deal. I'd definitely recommend this place for a fun little brunch

What an elegant restaurant! Inside was amazing design, the details of everything, the chairs , the tables, the pictures, everything spot on! The service was quick and polite. The food was fresh and very flavorful. I loved my cappuccino and my chocolate cake . I also had a rib sandwich, was pretty great too. I totally see how great this place is to hang out! We were just passing by and very glad that stopped by here. Totally recommend!

Set up a bachelorette brunch here in a private room and I was so happy with the space, service, and food! We enjoyed cocktails and mocktails with generously portioned options including French toast, chilaquiles, burger, short rib hash and a Cobb salad. They also allowed an order form the dinner menu - lobster roll. It was so nice and to chat in private and enjoy our meals, which were all tasty and beautifully presented. I can't wait to go back!

Made a reservation here to host my friend's bachelorette party in one of their private rooms and it ended up being the perfect spot. The interior is such a vibe, very Hollywood glamour with a fun, elevated atmosphere. The host, wait staff, and manager were all very friendly and accommodating. We did the summer menu for the group, which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $54. Honestly an amazing value for how generous the portions were. I started with the farm glazed carrots which were tender and paired nicely with the hummus. For my entree, I had the braised short rib which was a massive slab of tender meat with asparagus on the side that was equally huge but surprisingly tender. For dessert, I had the lemon lavender creme brulee which was too sweet for my taste. The top sugar layer was too thick and I couldn't really taste the lemon. Would absolutely recommend this spot if you're hosting a private party.

Mom and I had lunch here today and it was much better than the diner we had had before. We loved the hamburger, Brussels sprouts , and the salad. We will most certainly be back. And the price was really reasonable as well because we sat in the bar area so we got special pricing. Our waiter Javier was really nice and efficient as well .

Went here for brunch as part of my girlfriend's bachelorette party and OMG.... i love the atmosphere AND the food! Definitely recommend the cinnamon roll basket because the mascarpone cream is made with real vanilla and the berries makes it have such a nice touch that doesn't make it too sweet. In addition, i LOVED the shrooms and asparagus french omelet we ordered too which had the yummiest type of cheese that is whipped but I do recognize the taste from grocery stores. I will say the servers were a bit slow and maybe not as cheerful or hospitable.... except the host at the front - he was incredibly funny! But I definitely would come back!

Always amazing service and beautiful, delicious food! We had the eggs Benedict and French omelet.

What an incredible place!!! Loved the food and the ambiance! Loved the a,axing carrots!

I had the best salad I ever had , just so fresh, colorful and satisfying at the hot desert! The outdoor is very appealing, I took a lot of pictures. Not cheap for the food, but good portion, and good service. Recommend this place!

A group of 8 of us dined here and nearly every one of us ended up with severe food poisoning just hours after eating. What's most concerning is that we all ordered different dishes -- yet somehow everyone got sick. That alone points to serious issues with food safety and kitchen hygiene. The food itself was mediocre at best -- nothing to write home about. Definitely not worth the risk we didn't know we were taking. Service was equally disappointing. Our waiter checked on us only once the entire time, and one of our friend's desserts never showed up. We didn't bother complaining at the time, but after what happened, it all adds up. To top it off, they automatically added a 20% gratuity, which just felt like insult to injury. We won't be back, and if you value your health, you shouldn't risk it either.

We went to Eight4Nine at lunchtime and were delighted by the food, service, and attentiveness. The quality of the restaurant has been consistent ever since we started coming here over 4 years ago. Lunch today was no different. The place is impeccably maintained and many of the staff have been there for years which explains the consistency of the service. The host, Tom Collins (yes, that really is his name, and no, he didn't invent the eponymous cocktail), is always friendly and good humored. I had the ahi tuna poke bowl which was beautifully presented and way more sumptuous for lunch than needed. But every bite was fresh and delightful. My wife had the chile relleno that was well presented and delicious, though again quite big. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant and very much reflects the mid-century Palm Springs vibe. Eight4Nine is a great value for money. Though it is not inexpensive, Willie and his team deliver a top-class product.

We stop by Palm Springs often and this place has been on my list for quite a while. For one reason or another we haven't made it. We decided to spend a couple hours at the Palm Springs Air Museum and then stop by here for lunch. First of all this place is gorgeous. It's all white and pink and black lots of celebrity photos. We sat in the bar, where it looked like most everybody was sitting, which is a room full of white - - white furniture white walls white bar. There was a mix of high tops and regular tables and some really gorgeous white tufted furniture. The bar had really cool lighting that made it almost look like mother of Pearl. There was a long dining room attached that was all pink and white. There were shelves that ran on either side of the room with all white accessories on it. As a girl who loves pink, this place was out for my heart! There are several private rooms on the side, each a little bit different but all with the pink and black and white theme. Absolutely gorgeous! Even the bathroom was something to see with black parasols hanging from the ceiling. Very cool! There's a patio out front and a second patio that looks like it's good for parties behind that. Again, sticking to the pink and black and white thing. We were greeted by a super friendly host and immediately seated in the bar area. There's an extra menu when you sit in the bar with some special drinks and starter items. You don't get to order from that menu when you sit in other parts of the restaurant. Our server was very nice and was there promptly. We ordered : *The Eight4nine cocktail *The skinny Watermelon cocktail *Cobb salad--delicious with dilll dressing *The Eight4nine Burger, made with Beecher's flagship cheddar *The Spanish Panini, made with jamon Serrano, Manchego, and house made giardiniera Everything was so delicious, including the sweet potato fries that came on the side. There is nothing not to love at this place. Would love to have a birthday party here!

Was in town on vacation and the reviews looked promising so we checked it out. Pretty late dinner reservation because we jam packed all the things in. Mocktails: ginger peach one was so delish and fresh! Corn & Crab Chowder: one tiny piece of crab that we noticed, unless they were just so blended in we didn't taste it. Chilean Sea Bass: well cooked fish, sauce was really salty Carne Asada: sauce was great, but meat was so overcooked. Carrot Cake Sandwich: honestly, they best thing we had. I really wanted to love this meal, but unfortunately just wasn't for me

Pleasantly surprised at how good the food was! Great customer service, very Palm Springs decor... I had the poke and it was delicious. The sauce and the kimchi were a great addition. The carrot cake was amazing and the star of the meal, I can't wait to have it again. Only draw back was the menu selection, the appetizer/dinner menu was a bit minimal compared to other restaurants in town.

Arrived at 9:30 p.m for our reservations. Nice & welcoming staff. My salmon & veggies were very flavorful and delicious. Creme brule`e for dessert was also delicious, very rich & creamy. Not every restaurant can get Creme Brule`e right. Chill yet vibrant Ambience. Loved the decor!

Great place with good cocktails. It's a bit spendy, and a lot pretentious. If you're feeling that way, or just want a nice, big place to eat and be seen, this is it. It's not for the person looking for a cozy corner, but you could ask to sit in the back dining room. They did a fantastic job of accommodating our large group of 10! They told us we could have a table, but we had to leave for the dinner rush because we had no reservation, which was more than responsible. We had quick apps and cocktails for about an hour, then we moved on to dinner elsewhere.

Beautiful restaurant with interesting black, pink and white decor. Food quality is superb. The hollandaise sauce is so rich and creamy. Pork belly hash is so flavorful with their dark sauce. Macchiato cream cake, delicious and not overly sweet sidecar cocktail and cappuccino or both very well done. Servers are super attentive and friendly.

Fantastic restaurant! It is classy and the service and quality of the food and drinks are amazing! We have a dinner party of 30 and sat on the patio and had the best experience. Highly recommend!

It's been a while since my last visit to Eight4Nine. We decided to visit and were reminded of how wonderful it was! The atmosphere inside and out was casual, but elegant. The staff attentive, professional, friendly,and helpful. We sat on the outside courtyard, with misters and fans very comfortable. I took advantage of the $49 3 course dinner special- ahi poking for a starter, chicken breast milanese for main and creme Brule for desert. A really nice value, and delicious! My wife chose the Nicosia Salad with smoked Steelhead trout, delicious. Everything was delicious, well prepared and presented. Matt and Randy gave excellent service and seemed to anticipate our needs. The cocktails before dinner were also great. We won't wait so long until our next visit.

We were so glad to return to one of our favorites along Palm Canyon because it did not disappoint with professional service, a pleasant patio ambiance since the sun disappears at 5 and their misters keep it comfortable, and first rate food and cocktails. My Cosmo was perfect, and my husband enjoyed his mid-century, one of their classics. My salad nicoise was flavorful and fresh, and the creme brulee fabulous. A perfect place to relax after a 111 degree Oct. 2 day.

I never leave reviews unless the experience is truly worth it and Eight4Nine earned it. From start to finish, everything was flawless. I started with the ahi poke and Brussels sprouts. I'm a huge fan of ahi tuna, and their take was perfect! Fresh, flavorful, and paired with the perfect chips. The Brussels sprouts? Insanely flavorful. I literally told my wife, I wish I could eat this every week. For dinner, I had the lobster roll and was genuinely impressed. I've had lobster rolls all over, including coastal cities, and this was easily one of the best. Generous portion, buttery, and balanced perfectly. My wife ordered the chicken Milanese (recommended by our server), and when she offered me a bite, I was shocked, absolutely delicious. I also ordered a Boulevardier, my go to drink that most places mess up. Not here. They nailed it. Strong, smooth, and perfectly balanced. 10/10. Service, food, cocktails, ambience, everything exceeded expectations. I'll 100% be coming back.

What an amazing place! We were so amazed by the size and ambiance. Would love to have a private party in one of the rooms....just such a cool vibe. Our waiter Sean was great! We loved our food... Glazed carrots.....amazing. We will be back. Would love to try their brunch!

Out of all the restaurants you can visit in Palm Springs, perhaps Eight4Nine brings you the essence of the people of this town. It has a big, bright, positive, happy and artsy climate like the residents themselves. Beautiful people work and eat at Eight4Nine. You might glimpse a celebrity in the crowd. I did. No matter what you order, the food is a work of art here. Fresh, delicious, filling, and artfully presented. The prices are extremely favorable compared to other famous spots. There is a specific bar menu that serves as the "Happy Hour" specials available all day, every day. This is a wonderful place to dine for lunch, dinner, brunch or just cocktails. Enjoy the food. Enjoy the art. Enjoy the people.

Great place for a large party. We came here for a birthday celebration and had a large room just for our party. The service was amazingly attentive and everyone had a great meal. Everything we ordered was delicious, I didn't taste anything that wasn't good. Oddly the item that stood out was the brussel sprouts that was roasted with bacon...never thought I would like those disgusting tiny cabbage looking things. The most wonderful thing was having good A/C in the desert heat!

Amazing!!! Amazing!!! Amazing!!!! The foood was ! Chef kiss I had the French toast and it was to die for I will drive almost two hours for this any day

Came here with a group of 8! We got a reservation so it was very easy to get seated. Good: - Super tasty dessert and sweet dishes! Loved the cinnamon bun basket and the French toast and lemon ricotta waffles - The omelette and the short rib hash were solid, but the sweet dishes were better - Mimosas were a great deal - We basically got a private dining room experience - We got a dessert for a friend's bday! Bad - Took a while for service to come by Overall this place was fun for a group

Fantastic time again here at 849 Staff is prompt and friendly as always. Good delicious and just a beautiful atmosphere. Thanks for a great time.

We had an early reservation on Friday night. 3 of us sat down once we came in. the Bar area was pretty full and I didn't realized how big the restaurant is. They have a very large menu a nice cocktail list and wine list. Cocktails were rather large , nice pour on Martini's. Food wise we had the greens salad, Chicken pot pie, the vegetarian poblano stuffed pepper and the chicken Milanese. All were exceptional. Service was great as was the ambiance. we will defiantly be back

Always consistent with friendly staff and attentive management. Love too many dishes to pick just one. It's a go to place for groups as there are many private seating areas.

We had a large group (15) here and were able to reserve a private room with a set menu (appetizer, choice of entrees, dessert). Everything was set up when we arrived and staff were very friendly and fun. Our bread was freshly baked and so good. Both the fried chicken and carne asada were amazingly tender, and everything was delicious. It was so nice to be able to have a sit down dinner in a private room for our large group, and we had a great time here!

I really wanted to love this place. I have been here for brunch probably four-ish years ago and remembered it being really good and very large group friendly. Recently went here for a birthday dinner and was so disappointed by the food which was extremely salty, like full on salt bomb. Service was great, however food was a hard miss.

I've been to Eight4Nine twice and I'm in love. There's nothing better than sitting outside on their cute patio and enjoying the best food! I absolutely loved the Sage fried chicken and waffles. It's Mary's boneless/skinless chicken thigh, house-recipe sage breading, paired with waffles that are made with house-made batter and then served with McLure's Calabrian maple syrup. I've also had the Mushroom and Asparagus omelet which is Wild mushrooms, Boursin cheese, Delta asparagus, artisan mixed greens, and fine herbs. And a house mimosa with 2 refills for $14? Yes Please! The only improvement I would make is on the service. The last time I was there, my mimosa was not refilled 2 times and when it was refilled, it was refilled with the table when I still had 3/4 of mimosa in the glass. I also needed water and kept having to ask for it. The server was incredibly nice so perhaps he was just busy. We'll be back when we're next in town!

We had such a great dinner here! The service was amazing, the portions were big, and the food was delicious. Definitely our favorite spot in Palm Springs so far! Highly recommend trying the chicken Milanese and octopus--both were so good. Plus, the design is stunning, with plenty of beautiful spots for photos. If you're in Palm Springs, this place is a must-visit!

Fantastic all around. Made our weekend end with a bang. The service was hands down, excellent! Nathan, Cindy, and Alex were on point. Did not miss a beat! Nathan shared this past weekend activities as I had to know what was happening down town Palm Springs. Ha! NATE made us feel very comfortable. Cindy handled our drink order with cheer. The bloody Mary's were delish, not to spicey. That was the beginning of our dining pleasure. Alex, our server visited our table enough to say we are good with water. The food, I had the Cobb salad, I almost finished it. Top notch!! My girl, ordered the Ceasar salad at the request of being chopped up. The men ordered two burgers, and they loved the brioche buns. They said the buns were sweet! I had another drink, and Alex suggested the pomegranate martini! It was tasty! Thank you. Oh, and let me not forget about the appetizers... a chicken quesadia with quac and ordered the lobster croquet! A must-have! Compliments to the chef! Anyways, just go and check this place out We will be back! Bonus: take your mom, she will love this place. Make a reservation for the exclusive private seating.

Tried Eight4Nine after hearing a lot of hype, but it didn't really deliver for us. The ambience is nice--bright, trendy, and Instagram-worthy for sure. Definitely a stylish spot. Service was decent, not overly friendly or fast, but nothing to complain about either. As for the food, we had a sandwich and a burger, and honestly? Just very average. Nothing bad, but nothing memorable either. We've traveled a lot and tried all kinds of places, so maybe we were just expecting something a little more special. Overall, it was fine, but I wouldn't go back.

the most beautiful restaurant in palm springs, ca. i had a wonderful time at this place. food was delicious, and the place was beyond beautiful. each rooms was a work of art. the staff and the manager were amazing with such a great attitude. best experience. i will definitely go again.

Thanks for the reply, but it came off as dismissive. We only had four people in our group, not eight. The automatic 20 percent gratuity should not have been applied. If it was a mistake, then it should have been clearly addressed instead of assuming it was correct. Also, it seems like no one actually checked with the staff about what happened during our visit. That makes it feel like you are just writing replies without really caring about the customer's experience. We came as tourists expecting a good meal and a smooth visit. Instead, we left feeling confused and taken advantage of. Please take feedback seriously and fix these issues.

Absolutely perfect! The potatoes on the side of my husbands eggs Benedict still haunts me! My Chilaquiles was fantastic. Awesome service!

We expected good food and got sensational food instead. There's a saying that you eat with your eyes. With every bite I took of my food I had to close my eyes because I swooned with the dance of my tastebuds. I truly meant to take pictures, but after I dived into each meal, the plate looked like it was destroyed. So I opted not to post any pictures. The ambience and the service was impeccable. The decor was beautiful. It was as though you walked into an elegant white tea party. This particular review was for lunch. Tonight I'm going back for dinner so standby. This time I'll try to remember to include pictures so you can see for yourself. Our server was Julio. We were thankful for his recommendations.

Our group had an amazing time at Eight4Nine. We've hosted a private dinner for some of our top clients following the first day of a nearby conference, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely top-notch, and the staff was friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the event. All in all, it's the perfect spot to host a private event--highly recommend!

Delicioso! Had so much fun at this quirky restaraunt. Was seated promptly by the host even though we ran about 15 minutes late...ordered drinks within a couple minutes and put in our order with Jose shortly after. We took all his recommendations: ahi poke, lobster carbonara, filet mignon. All amazing!! Carbonara was not too heavy and steak was perfectly tender and juicy. Not sure it needed all the sauce because a good steak doesn't need sauce- but tasty nonetheless. Cocktails: THE849 and the Cucumber something. Highly recommend the cucumber. Had complimentary piece of cake for dessert since we were some of the last guests - caramel macchiato- SO good! Will be coming back again.

10/10 this place from the beginning to the end was fabulous. The service was impeccable and food was absolutely amazing! Highly

I went my first day in Palm Springs the other day. Very beautiful restaurant. Bathrooms were really clean. Great, attentive staff. The drinks were great. I had the fried chicken with mashed potatoes and biscuits. Some of the best fried chicken I ever had. The biscuit was good as well. My fiancé had the bucatini. She loved it. And to top it off we saw lance bass and we let him eat in piece. He was right behind me

Wonderful service. Nice menu selection. Food was well prepared and delicious. Another cool vibe location in Palm Springs.

Had a lovely birthday dinner celebration; enjoyed the lobster carbonara and the pork tomahawk. Eight4Nine is very modern with a monochromatic color pallet with little pops of color minimally. The outdoor patio is was very comfortable and spacious.

I'm a little puzzled as to the naming convention here in Palm Springs. Several establishments feature numbers in their names. Such is the case for the Eight4Nine restaurant, located at 849 Palm Canyon Drive. It was easy to find the restaurant, but the name gives little insight as to what you'll find inside. Inside was charming, bright and modern in the Palm Springs sense, and outside was roomy and fun. My dining companion was disappointed with their salad, Baby Gem Caesar and chicken breast ($27) which seemed like regular bagged lettuce and I pointed out the anemic/pinkish tone of the chicken. No, we were informed, it was not raw, it was smoked. I ordered the carne asada flatbread which was flavorful and tasty, although it tasted sweet, almost like barbeque, rather than the chili or cumin flavor I was expecting. I did enjoy it however, and finished it all. The outdoor dining area was about 50% full and the service seemed stagnant. We flagged down our server and expressed disappointment with the salad and the chicken portion was removed from the bill. The decor and ambience was lovely and several menu items sounded intriguing so I might be persuaded to try again. L8r M8!

We just celebrated a baby shower there. They did a fabulous job ... service was outstanding. Highly recommend.

It is located on the main street of downtown and quite the scene. Upbeat, trendy, overly decorated to impress it looks like a cross between a Martin Bullard and Liberace design, very white, bright, and overembellished. Let's just leave it as swanky. Parking can be a problem, so give yourself some time. Four of us arrived for a reservation time, yet still needed to wait longer than I would have expected. I got the impression that who you are might matter here. We were finally seated way in the back of the 'north forty' of the back patio, which was just fine in order to sustain a nice conversation level, yet it was super chilly on this particular night. They have heat lamps, but none nearby, so we asked, more than once, if one could be provided. One finally came, put on full bake, and we asked for it to be adjusted before sweating profusely. It's not a big deal, but still... for a fine dining experience, proper ambiance does count. The menu is good, varied choices, and for me, many seemed quite appealing. We started by sharing two salads, Baby Gem Caesar, that was good and prepared well. I ended up ordering the Miso Marinated Chilean Sea Bass. It comes with rice, carrots, and baby bok choi. My dish came in a bowl and definitely a sufficient portion. I found the fish delectable, flakey, and tender yet overly powerful with ginger, and I detected an overabundance of soy sauce (?), diminishing the flavor of the fish. The carrots were perfect but the bok choi nearly impossible to eat. Even with a knife, it was difficult to cut and rubbery, and I ended up pulling it apart while splattering some on my shirt. I just finally gave up fighting it. I have never had such a struggle with bok choi! At a cost of $48. for the entree, I expected better. Everyone else really enjoyed their meal, and we downed it with two bottles of Sauvignon Blanc, so perhaps I am the lone dissenter for the evening. Service was good, friendly enough, but seemed stretched with obligations, too. Overall, it was an interesting experience, but for the price and the hype, I had to wonder the value.
