"Once an exclusive getaway for Hollywood elites, the privileged serenity of this quaint refuge no longer requires a SAG card to gain entrance (though you will need a reservation if you’re not staying at the property). With open-air communal seating in an idyllic poolside setting, this is hardly a typical restaurant, but embrace the relaxation and allow yourself to be pampered by the effortlessly disarming service. Matching with the general wellness retreat aesthetic, the ingredient-driven cooking tends towards wholesome Cali-style simplicity—think fresh salads, grilled cauliflower steak with sauce vierge and the requisite avocado toast at lunch. The menu is small (especially during the day), but dietary restrictions are readily accommodated." - Michelin Inspector

The Barn Kitchen at Sparrows Lodge Review - Palm Springs - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Located in one of the most-underrated little hotels in Palm Springs, this is the casual, hidden lunch oasis you can’t find anywhere else in Palm Springs. While dinner here is only open to hotel guests, The Barn Kitchen at Sparrows Lodge has opened its lunch situation to the public and it has quickly become one of our favorites in town. The ham and mustard melt has no business being as good as it is, and the smoked salmon spread is all you need when the temperature hits triple digits." - Brant Cox

This place is so serene that I did not notice the busy street right outside. Once in the lobby the ambiance changes and the relaxing begins. The restaurant is located in the center and the food is mouth watering, that I wanted to try everything listed.The inside is quaint and amusing to say. This is something to see for yourself and enjoy.

Absolute hidden gem in Palm Springs. Almost don’t want to let anyone know about it but it’s just too good not to share. The outside seating is simply beautiful, you are surrounded by beautiful citrus trees, we really felt like we were transported into a European village, maybe Greece (and I’m European so that’s saying something) as for the food….my god!!! The menu is so imaginative, delicate, fresh and just delicious. I tried things I had never tasted before and I LOVE that about a menu. We all ate something different (Fuyu Persimons, Market Greens, Spiced Cauliflower pita and The Barn Burger) and all four of us were blown away. The service…darn I didn’t catch her name, well she was fantastic, she even brought us fresh baked cookies as a treat, which were absolutely melt in your mouth! I can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu. My new favorite restaurant in Palm Springs maybe even the whole valley!!!

Such a fun experience! Loved the atmosphere, especially being able to play games. Was disappointed in the chocolate chip cookies sadly as they were hyped up by our server, but were borderline burnt when we received them. Additionally service got a little slow near the end of our stay as there was only 1 server for 7 different parties. Would come back just for the atmosphere.

If you want to dine alfresco, this restaurant's outstanding ambiance is a fabulous choice. The staff warmly welcomed us. It was a delightful experience for they made sure we were never rushed. I sooo enjoyed my bass and we marveled how the presentation of every course was Instagram worthy. The passion fruit, chocolate dessert was one of the best I ever have...original and burst with flavor.

The photos do not do this justice but it was so good that we went back the next night for dinner again. The carrot pasta and mole were SO delicious that we will be thinking about them and craving them for months to come. The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere is tranquil and beautiful. The staff (especially Gabe & Wendy) were so kind, attentive, and went out of their way to make sure that our meals were perfect and that everything was to our liking. The dessert (warm chocolate cookies served with ice cream and the pot de creme) were delightful and such a good way to end an amazing dinner. We are already planning our next flight to come eat at The Barn Kitchen.

Absolutely perfect for date night!!! A beautiful, artsy space and the 5 course tasting menu really blew us away! Best mocktails in Palm Springs, good bourbon selection, and top notch service. We had oyster n herb soup, bone marrow, lobster raviolis, lamb, and chocolate mousse- all excellent! I highly recommend reservations for any special occasion, their outdoor seating was so romantic!

The restaurant’s atmosphere is undeniably beautiful, but the space felt uncomfortably warm for the summer evening. Service, however, was where the experience fell short. Our server seemed unfamiliar with the menu, yet we still took her recommendations. While the food itself tasted good, the execution around service and pacing was disappointing. At the server’s suggestion, we placed our full order at once to accommodate the chef’s direction. Unfortunately, the flow of courses was poorly timed: appetizers arrived, one dish with severely burnt bread points, and before the replacement even came we were already halfway through appetizers when the entrées appeared. The new bread only arrived after the entrées had been served, which undercut the intention of enjoying the courses as designed. Adding to this, we brought our own wine with full awareness of the corkage fee, yet once it was opened our glasses were left unattended. We had to refill our own glasses throughout the meal, which is not the level of attention one expects at this caliber of restaurant. The evening ended abruptly when the hostess dropped our check at the table without a word and walked away. While the food itself was enjoyable, the disjointed service, lack of attentiveness, and poorly managed pacing left us disappointed. For a Michelin-recommended restaurant, the standard of hospitality was far below expectations. Unfortunately, despite the good flavors, we will not be returning.

A gorgeous evening with Desie and Abby as our servers. Two of us split the ribeye, while one of us went with the tuna entree salad. Everything was delightful. The Barn Kitchen continues to be my favorite all-around outddoor dining experience in PS.

Reminder- a good vibe only takes you so far. You can't eat a good vibe. This place has so much potential. It's located in the barn/courtyard of the Sparrows Lodge. When you first walk in, it feels a bit disorienting. Walk past the pool and to the barn. The food and inconsistent service made this place a bit of a miss. To start we had an Old Fashioned and a Paper Plane, the cocktails were nice. At first the service seemed attentive. On the recommendation of our server we ordered the Guac & Chips to start and the Honeynut Squash and John Dory as mains. The Guac & Chips were okay, didn't live up tp the hype. My friend enjoyed her John Dory. Sadly, my Squash was flavorless, bland, and wilted. The description oversold me. The only good part of the dish were the see canyon apple chunks. We were seated in the picturesque patio. The night was chilly and the heat lamp was on high. After roasting, I asked the staff to turn it down but they never did. I finally had to switch seats. After our main dishes came it was hard to get anyone's attention to order dessert or get the check (Pro Tip- they don't take cash). Sidebar- the Warm Chocolate Chunk Cookie Dessert was nice but took a very long time. Baked to order felt more like, made from scratch to order. So if you plan on ordering it, do so early or prepare to wait.

We visited over the holidays after reading that the restaurant was recognized by the Michelin Guide. For appetizers, we had roasted heirloom carrots and butternut squash soup. For our main courses, we tried the honeynut squash and John Dory. Unfortunately, the only dish we truly enjoyed was the butternut squash soup. The honeynut squash was bland, and the John Dory was dry. I don't remember much about the roasted heirloom carrots, other than there were a lot of root vegetables. After such a disappointing meal, we didn't bother ordering dessert, despite the tempting option of chocolate chunk cookies. We figured we could get better cookies back home. The courtyard setting was lovely, but it was a bit chilly in December, even with a heat lamp. The service was slow, and we had trouble finding the restaurant. It's located inside the Sparrows Lodge, and the parking lot was small.

We came because it was listed in the Michelin guide. If you get anything here get the mussels. They tasted fresh and were generous with the amount of mussels. It had a great lemon butter sauce that was fatty with great amount of citrus. The mole was sub-par. We honestly wished we didn't order it. It was lacking the heartiness that mole is known for. It was a very "Palm springs" version of the classic dish and it disappointed. Everything else was great.

Came here with a group of coworkers and the place was just absolutely beautifully decorated! Warm lights, cozy tables and heat lamps for the outside seating was just amazing. We tried the burrata and the smashed cucumbers, then I had the mole chicken and tried the burger. Everything I had was very well cooked and well seasoned. Tried the pork rack and it was moist and tender! I did hear that the dory was not as well cooked (overdone a bit) and the beans on the pork dish a bit salty which was disappointing to hear. But the best part - warm cookies to end the night! It's a very small restaurant with a wonderful atmosphere and thank you to the single waitress who served and helped.

Good luck getting in. No obvious entrance. Seems to be a Sparrows Guests-only venue. Very frustrating when it's -05 outside and you think you're going to have a nice lunch. It was a short hot walk from the Saguaro Hotel. Obviously it was a waste.

Review based on how to make a reservation. As of November 2024, if you're not a hotel guest you must make a reservation via OpenTable. No one under 21 allowed (no infants, toddlers, teens etc.). There is no access to the restaurant without a reservation or without being a hotel guest. Same day reservations may be available. I was in town and called to inquire about coming in, the staff wasn't the friendliest, they were bothered that I called to ask. I'm sure they get calls like that often, but it's not the publics fault that there is no information available on the protocol to of how to access the restaurant. When I called they told me to make a reservation via OpenTable, I had to call a second time to ask if people under 21 were allowed and they said was "no". Perhaps, providing information on how to make a reservation and what is and not allowed on their website would be helpful.

Food: 100/10 this restaurant I ate breakfast, lunch and dinner everyday. It was fantastic. If you are staying at the resort, look no further. If you are staying outside, make a reservation or cancel and that there. Service: 10/10 so attentive, anything you need they were there. Super friendly. Always someone there when you need them. But not that feeling like someone is watching over you. Ambiance: I wish I could have stayed there all year round. It was my definition of heaven.

Super cozy date night spot. Recommend getting a reservation. Food and drink: 5/5. We got the pork chop which was so so good with braised veggies, chicken mole (with tortillas) and a chilled Sangiovese. All were excellent. Service: 5/5 great staff and very attentive with good wine suggestions Ambiance: 5/5 - it was a beautiful day and we sat outside under the shade. We loved that they seated my husband and I on the same side of the table! Value: 5/5- our two entrees and wine were about $100 which is what we would typically spend on a date night. For the quality of food and experience this is definitely worth it. Kids are NOT allowed, so definitely more of a date spot. We were a little bummed by this since I have a breastfeeding infant and it was challenging for us to get here, but it's more of a quiet atmosphere at a 21+ resort so we get it.

Loved this place! A little hard to find the entrance if you aren't a guest of the hotel but otherwise a pretty great experience. The staff was so welcoming and the vibe inside was super chill. The food was good (the burger felt balanced and not too heavy) the tuna was honestly just okay.

Burger is good. The charcuterie and cheese board is not what you would expect. It's just heavy on low quality cheese and basic meat. I thought it would have some olives, house made pickles, and maybe some seasonal fruit. The toasted bread is dry.

We came to Palm springs for Mother's Day weekend and booked a reservation for dinner on Mother's Day after looking into this place. My mom and grandma were both super excited! They then called us and told us that they couldn't accommodate our reservation because they overbooked. There was no offer to accommodate us another day, just sorry we can't serve you... how do you not figure out your system before Mother's Day... so disappointing Anyways didn't get to eat there but this initial experience will not have us ever coming back. Hope you figure out your reservation system!

How this restaurant is on the Michelin guide is beyond me. First, the atmosphere, server and wine was great. Two stars. However, we ordered the steak for two, medium rare and unfortunately it came out grey/well done. We flagged this to our server who was very apologetic and had the kitchen redo the meal. The next version of our meal came back alarmingly fast and completely raw. Not rare, not even blue rare. Raw. We paid for the wine and left extremely hungry and annoyed as this was our final meal of our anniversary trip. I do have high expectations from the Michelin guide and am now questioning their credibility outside of the tire space.

Great experience as it is mostly open only to the hotel guests. Service is great, food options are minimum but cover almost every taste and the quality is amazing. Everything we tried was delicious. Hummus, charcuterie board, sandwich, pork chop and mole.

Talk about vibe! If you're looking for a laid back, relaxing atmosphere this is the place. So charming, and definitely a place to recharge or have a romantic dinner. The food was great. I had the pork chop and can't say enough good things, the collard greens particularly blew me away but the chop was cooked to perfection and had great flavor. My only place for improvement was the margarita. Definitely tasted like premade Marg mix. For $15 I expect a handcrafted cocktail. But I'm sure if you order beer/wine you won't be disappointed. Would go again!

Our first visit to this iconic property was, from a scenery perspective, exactly as advertised. Having said that, the food was not, being a Michelin recommend stop as a motivator for us. Maybe it was because it was lunch, because both the clams and ham sandwich were pedestrian. Certainly not worth the price of admission.

The food was great. Service was ok but not horrible either to deserve a lower point. Ate outside which was very nice ambiance.

Amazing venue! Great staff and wonderful food. We celebrated a birthday and had a wonderful time. We have recommended the Barn Kitchen to several locals too

I was expecting a real restaurant with table seating. There is one communal table, a couple of sofas and bar seats. It's a very small eclectic space. It's probably better suited for breakfast or lunch. We shared the ribeye for two. It was just ok. The margarita was weak. I asked one of the girls about the owners and something that was framed on the wall but she was clueless. If you're staying there it's probably fine, but I wouldn't make the effort to go there otherwise.

I spent the most wonderful morning hanging out here! It was my last day in Palm Springs and I came for brunch. I ended up sitting a long time in the open-air space, reading the myriad of gorgeous books they have and enjoying the trees and sky. I loved the environment and ambiance, the delicious food and coffee, and especially the staff! Damaris was there and was so warm and even offered to show me around the hotel a bit in case I decide to stay at Sparrows Lodge next time, and I think I will!

We had dinner here over 4th of July weekend. The food was decent, but the service was horrible. The minute we sat down we were told we needed to "hurry up and order before it gets busy". We barely had 2 minutes to look at a menu before we were hounded to order drinks and an appetizer if we wanted one. The whole experience was oddly stressful. We were never offered a second drink and they were taking away our food before we even finished. The 4 of us were in and out in under 45 minutes total. The kicker was we never even saw it "get busy". Ultimately, it doesn't seem like they are interested in dinner guests who are not staying at the hotel. This could be easily solved on their part by just closing reservations to non- guests, but here we are. We made these reservations a month prior and were really looking forward to it. Not sure what the deal was. Lots of great options in Palm Springs so this was a big disappointment. What a waste of a night.

This is a great restaurant ....very unassuming and delicious!!! we've been here twice in one week and can't wait to go back next week!!! it's hard to get into so make a reservation a couple weeks out and treat yourself!!!

Terrible service, wife and I walked in at 8:30pm tonight and we're told by the two ladies at the front bar side that we couldn't be seated because the kitchen just gave last call ("one second ago"). They advertise to be open until 9pm and I let them know we would order right away. Still denied us service and was very unwelcoming about it because we were not "hotel guests." The funny thing about it is my wife and I are staying in town for the next 2 weeks and we're considering staying here for a few nights. We had such a bad experience speaking with poorly trained workers here, that we will not coming back. In summary, customer service should matter.

A friend made reservations for our last night in Palm Springs and we had no idea what to expect. It's now our favorite place in PS. Great food, service and ambiance. It was a perfect night

Beautiful setting, the most bland shrimp scampi I've ever had. Not a hint of garlic. I really should have sent it back. We evaluated the menu before going AND this place somehow landed on a recent Michelin list. The menu was not the same as what appeared online and it's a small menu. Not many choices. Other diners didn't enjoy the sea bass either. Service was OK.
