Colony Club Restaurant

Great quaintly aesthetic place to relax, enjoy the views, and people watch while dining on the patio by the pool. I took myself on a solo date and I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all. It’s a fun yet laid back atmosphere with good vibes all around. Can’t forget to mention the food and date shake was super delicious. I would definitely come back!

WOW - what can I say! The Colony Club was such a beautiful little treat. We were met with a card & champagne to celebrate our recent engagement and it just set the night off on the right foot. Walking in, you feel like a 1950s movie star and the staff sure treat you like it. There was not a single thing we didn't love - the ambiance was something special, our server was phenomenal, and the food was just spectacular. 10/10 enjoyed our experience and highly recommend if you're looking for a real special dining experience in Palm Springs!

This place is beautiful! The renovated dining room is chic and cozy. Our server Ezekiel was knowledgeable and charming. Ambiance and service was only topped by the delicious food! The hamachi starter was delicate and tasty as was the heirloom melon salad. We sampled the swordfish, risotto and poached cod. The cod was the star of the show! Only to be complimented by the burnt basque cheesecake! Highly recommend if you want an elevated dining experience in PS. We will be back!

Been wanting to come here for brunch and pool day for a while now! So happy we did because it was amazing!! Brunch was delicious (sat right next to the pool with the always breath taking Palm Springs Mountain views). Elizabeth was our server and she took great care of us :). We stayed most of the day and had cocktails by the pool. Can’t wait to return!

I really wanted to like this place. I have been here three times. The first time everything was perfect, but every time since then the food has not been good. Their starters are delicious — the deviled eggs, the delta asparagus, the scallop tower -- but at $50-$60+ for entrees, they almost all do not impress. Risotto is watery and under seasoned, not creamy. The duo pork is dry and presented in a boring way. The chicken and swordfish dishes were also under seasoned. The cod poache fish dish was way too salty. They put yucky foam on everything. The atmosphere and service are excellent but be forewarned they will try to upsell you on everything from drinks to water and add ons. I once was told I could have an entree portion of a pasta appetizer. They charged me $68 for pasta with mushrooms and five shavings of truffle. $68 for pasta!

First of all, I appreciate the accommodation, despite the lack of reservation for my side. The location is awesome. Sitting next to the pool was a great experience. I felt that overall, there was some lack of seasoning in most of the food. Loved the idea of edamame hummus, but it was really bland. Also, the use of saffron really overpowered other flavors in both the risotto and aspargus dishes. The steak was good. Cooked perfectly. Wish the sause had more flavor to it.

We came here for their guest chef event featuring Chef Vanda Asapahu of Ayara Thai in Los Angeles. It is a beautiful setting. The facility changed hands during Covid and has been remodeled. It is lovely and we always enjoy the environment and dining poolside. There were four of us and we wanted to participate in the 5 course chef special meal they were offing that night for $98 per person. One of the gentlemen in our group had an allergy to shrimp and crab and they flawlessly accommodated him and substituted other items. Overall the food was sublime and the service was excellent. This is a story about how the little things can spoil the whole evening. Everything was wonderful until the server brought the check and informed us that she had added the 'large table gratuity' to the check. She commented that we could add more if we chose but it was not necessary. At first blush I didn't think much about it. Although I didn't think a table of four should qualify as a 'large table'. Then I noticed that she had added a 25 percent gratuity. Now, I might have chosen to add a 25 percent gratuity anyway, but the idea that it had been thrust upon me for our table of four really irritated me. Friends of ours had dined here a few weeks earlier and said they were charged $3 extra for the blue cheese stuffed olives they requested with their martinis that little incident ruined their experience to the point that they said they would never come back. This type of greed/gouging might be fine with the tourists who may never come here again, but for locals, it is a real turn off and spoils what would have otherwise been a perfect experience.

Really enjoyed our visit! Started with cocktails on the patio and moved inside for dinner. This place is beautiful inside and out. Overall a calm, chill aesthetic set beside a pool with a tropical vibe. 🏝️ The service was fantastic, friendly. Overall had a great time here with friends. The prices match the decor, so that’d be my only caution 😎. Save room for dessert!

I must admit I was a little intimidated by the menu. The prices. The fancy wording. The lack of anything super recognizable to me. But the bartender who guided us to our table was amazing. So friendly and personable. Then our waitress was so professional yet down to earth. For example, at one point after we ordered, she delivered two deviled eggs to our table. Since we had not ordered deviled eggs, I told her that, but she said oh, they're (some word I didn't know.) I just looked it up: Amuse-Bouche. Um, what? So she said, "oh, that's just a fancy word for a free little appetizer." And then the first bite. Delight. Amazement. Wonder. Mainly wondering why I don't eat food this perfect every bite of my life. And it went on from there. She said they had a new chef who had totally worked over the menu. We decided to order what she had recommended. We had a starter of the Chicharrones ($17). Fried pork skins with pimento cheese. Handmade to order, still warm. Wow. And the pimento cheese! I took the leftovers home because there were so many chicharrones and such a generous portion of the cheese. Next we had Octopus Carpaccio ($27). She let me take home the menu so I know there was a pineapple gelee, truffle aioli, and rice cracker but all of that was very subtle. Like a teaspoon of the pineapple and aioli and the "crackers" were delicate little fluffs. The octopus was served in a round piece comprised of multiple chunks. Very unique. Cold, but not at all rubbery. All the flavors a delight. We had the Big Glory Bay Salmon ($39) which was simply cooked to utter perfection. The flavor of the little salad of cucumbers, asian pear, coconut cucumber yogurt, and hearts of palm was complex and we savored every bite. We also had the Diver Scallops ($48) and I simply could not get enough of the forbidden rice and pine nut and golden raisin soubise (I just looked it up, French for a sauce made of butter, onions and cream.) Please, can I take this home and eat it every day of my life? Pretty please? And don't even get me started on the ambiance. We were pool side. The weather was perfect. There were stars in the sky, palm trees, flowers. Even my water glass was special, not just some plain thing. And to address some other reviews, our waitress took away our salad forks and gave us entree forks. Our water was kept filled. There is still a 20% mandatory tip for 8+ people, and a 2% tip for the kitchen workers. The food came out in an unhurried but certainly not slow manner. And I agree that this was by far the best food we had in Palm Springs. In my book, this is a special occasion restaurant and I certainly felt like a princess eating there and would not hesitate to go again.

We visited the Colony Club restaurant for brunch during our visits and we aren't big eaters so our experience is limited. However, during our many visits to Palm Springs we have had brunch at many restaurants. And, one of the reasons we picked this location is because my husband is an interior designer and the the restaurant was designed by a famous designer, and is known for its elegant ambiance. It definitely has an impressive "expensive classic Palm Springs" feel. Ambiance can have a direct effect on one's dining experience and in this case definitely a plus. We had mimosas and shared the hummus and baked eggs. All was good. The baked eggs come in a tomato sauce and are basically shakshuka, which right now seems a popular brunch dish. It was way too hot to eat outside, so we wanted a table with a view out over the somewhat iconic pool area with its green and white striped umbrellas, and those tables are limited. The one we were seated at was right next to the only door that the staff used to serve the outdoor area, there was way too much traffic to make it a relaxing experience. To the staff's credit, they re-seated us as soon as we mentioned the issue.

My recent dining experience at Colony Club, spurred by its Michelin guide accolade, proved to be a delightful discovery during a work conference in Palm Springs. Despite a minor snag with the valet service, where Jared the valet attendant seemed a bit distracted by influencers in wanting to take photos with them, the evening swiftly transformed into a memorable affair once we stepped inside. The ambiance exuded a blend of vintage charm and contemporary coolness, and the unexpected tranquility at 6 PM added to the allure. We were warmly welcomed by multiple staff members, instantly setting a hospitable tone for the evening. Our server, Kiley, adeptly managed our wine selections, graciously accommodating an additional bottle as a gesture of appreciation. The menu boasted an enticing array of offerings, ranging from inventive cocktails to tantalizing starters like edamame hummus and truffle Parmesan Reggiano fries, and mains such as the succulent prime fillet of ribeye. Dessert, notably the burnt cheesecake, left a lasting impression. Despite the initial hiccup, the staff, notably Amber, went above and beyond to ensure our dining experience was nothing short of exceptional. Colony Club's inclusion in the Michelin guide is undoubtedly well-deserved, and I eagerly anticipate revisiting on future trips to Palm Springs.

Catch up brunch with old friends who are locals; they chose this as a cool, art-deco-ish spot for a meal close to the airport. You can read about the hotel separately -- adults only resort hotel. The room was reminiscent of the Beverly Hills Hotel or similar spots (I also thought about Le Colonial, a french Vietnamese spot with locations in NY, Chicago, and SF among others). Menu was an interesting if not too terribly complex brunch menu. The women had skillets; the men the avocado toast...everyone was delighted. Service was attentive and professional. Fully priced for brunch...but a charming spot for a nicer brunch.

Ten of us went here for a friend's birthday. It took over an hour and a half to get our food. I ordered the risotto. It was a bowl with a strange frothy white liquid sauce with a few tablespoons of a veggie mixture on the top. You couldn't see or taste the risotto. The risotto texture was non-existent (for $37.00). My friend ordered the same thing but with scrimp, which was also basically non-existent. (Add 18 bucks for the imaginary shrimp). The server said that they chop up the shrimp. You couldn't see any pieces and four of us tasted it. Zero shrimp taste. Where's the risotto and where's the shrimp already? Who creates a mess like this? The place is poorly lit. Everyone had to look at the menu with their cell phone on. The chairs are too low for the table and they sloped back. Super uncomfortable. They automatically charged us about a 22% tip, PLUS a 2% charge for "kitchen appreciation"- whatever that is. I asked our server what it was for and she said it was for cooking the food. HUH? This isn't a grocery store- it's a restaurant and restaurants are SUPPOSED to cook the food. I've scratched this place off my list... and if you're smart, you might want to as well. Don't bother.

Don't let the less than stellar yelp reviews fool you - we took our chances and we were pleasantly surprised to have had a truly wonderful time at the Colony Club. We arrived at 5pm (their summer hours are 5pm-9pm) and had a great dinner. Service was very good, everyone was very pleasant and attentive. This was by far the best food we had in Palm Springs, and we are at some really good restaurants. We shared the spicy deviled eggs, which were really good. Different from typical deviled eggs and not too spicy. The real star for me was the chicken Schnitzel. It was so good! Juicy chicken, delicious sauce, the cucumber and raddish salad on top perfectly complemented it. My husband had the saffron risotto, which apparently was a new menu item. It was also very good, bright flavors and really unique. We will definitely be back!

Had Christmas Dinner here. Service was horrid. They didn't take away salad forks after salad, had to ask multiple times to refill water glass, some waiter would just ignore you when you ask for something, didn't clear the front plates. They don't use a tablecloth and you can see stains all over the table. Ambiance was not great. Barista near by is throwing stuff around making loud noises constantly. Saw multiple people holding cell phone flashlights to read the menu because it was so dark. Food had some okay dishes, but main dish was disgusting and inedible. It was "a christmas story" themed and they were only serving a set menu Chinese themed. Presumably precooked and heated so they could serve the same thing to everyone and save money and charge exorbitant prices. I couldn't eat the main dish, wouldn't feed it to animals. Left most of it on the plate unfinished, and rest of it was spit out in the napkin. The other stuff was decent like the dumpling, eggroll. Desert was a "panna cotta" which was completely fake, it was literally just yogurt with almonds in it. Had massive diarrhea a little after dinner as well. Money isn't really the issue but way too expensive for what they were serving, especially a set menu they're mass producing in the kitchen. If i was still paying $125 per person, i would've preferred panda express on nice plates rather than their food here. And they automatically charge 20% tip so they have no motivation to provide a good service or provide descent food. Avoid at all costs.

If you are looking for a fun and nostalgic or special and romantic place to enjoy a delicious dinner or a yummy brunch this is your spot! The Colony Club offers a convenient valet right at the main hotel entrance, which by the way is such a beautiful boutique hotel for your next special getaway. Anytime of the day the views and vibes are stunning. Don't forget to snap a few pictures of their lovely landscaping and design. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy The Colony Club!

Nearly a month ago, I made reservations for Christmas Eve dinner at the Colony Club. Several members of my party have Celiac disease, so I wrote management to confirm that gluten-free food would be available. At the time, I received written confirmation from management that our dietary restrictions would be accommodated. This included a hand-annotated menu confirming which options could be made gluten free. Christmas Eve arrived, and so did we. Unfortunately, we were informed that gluten-free options were in fact not available. After producing a record of my communications with management, we were told that the email by which the Colony Palms front desk communicates with guests--the one email by which guests can have any contact with the Colony Club Restaurant--is manned by personnel who have no idea what goes on in the restaurant. We are still unclear--just as the Colony Club personnel we spoke with were--who from the Colony Palms scanned us an annotated menu including options that were not in fact available, causing us not to make alternative Christmas Eve plans in reliance on this misrepresentation. Evidently, the one hand has no clue what the other is doing. Would avoid if you have dietary restrictions.

I had the most amazing experience here last year. Therefore I made reservations for this visit to Palm Springs with 7 colleagues after our flight and before checking in at our Airbnb. The staff was gracious and checked our heavy luggage. Drinks were amazing. Then things went sideways. Our orders came out at different times . The Cobb salad was not like anything I had experienced before . Dry chicken and a dressing that was as one of my colleagues said "tasted like hotel room deodorizer ". They took 30 minutes to get to our table and to make up for the wait they sent us smoothies that were milk based. Being lactose intolerant, this was almost adding to the negative experience. When the rest of the order arrived we should have been leaving to check in. The manager was stand offish and didn't take charge of the situation to make things right. After back and forth with the " chef" we were unhappy all around. I've worked in restaurants for years and would never treat a guest as poorly as this establishment did. Disappointing for sure.

The food here is terrible. Giving 2 stars for the ambience, this is a nicely designed space with an high end intimate feeling. Service was just ok. Food was inedible - risotto was watery, foamy rice, steak was weirdly cut in half and overcooked. Price was not inexpensive. We just cut our losses and ate somewhere else later.

Outrageous prices. Underwhelming food. Indifferent service. All in a romantic setting. Bottom line: It's one and done for me.

Great food and service inside the Colony Palm Hotel. The beef kabob was juicy and full of flavor. The chicken sandwich is to die for, it has a delicious BBQ sauce that melts in your mouth. In addition, the truffle fries were perfection. The service was fast and servers were very friendly, I will definitely be back.

Food was okay. The dish we ordered was incredibly salty, we asked the waiter to send it back, and he said even the chef agreed it was too salty. He asked us if we wanted anything else, and we said another order of chips (they were delicious). The bill came with the salty dish AND the chips. We asked our waiter to take them both off, and he said "I spoke with my manager and the best I can do is take off the dish, but not the chips." Which is wild to me, because they took 30 minutes to come, and we only ordered them because he ASKED if we wanted anything else due to the salty plate... very strange they couldn't spend the extra $13 to avoid a negative experience and an unhappy customer. We unfortunately won't be coming back.

Getting there: When you walk inside of the hotel you are greeted by the entrance, the pool in the middle then the restaurant is in the back. It has a beautiful terrace where you can sit poolside or you can decide to sit inside. Experience: I just want to say this place has remodeled and is gorgeous. I hadn't tasted the food prior but I ordered the brio French toast and it literally comes with a half loaf of bread...HALF...but it was the most delicious French toast I've ever had. Needless to say I could not finish it all. I would 100% recommend!

One of the most beautiful places to have breakfast in PS. Food is good and service is friendly. Love coming here.

Such a beautiful location. The restaurant was great. Josiah was incredible. His knowledge, level of engagement and attentive service was remarkable. I hope everyone has the opportunity to experience this restaurant with Josiah. Thank you @ColonyClub & Josiah.

My favorite thing about this place was the communication from the staff as we were seated. As soon as we sat, the server let us know that they were understaffed and the food would take longer than normal. We didn't have anywhere to be, so we were fine with this and appreciated the warning in advance. I am giving 4 out of 5 stars because i felt like after we paid, they totally checked out (which would make sense, but we had to ask for takeout boxes 3 times and then had to get up twice to ask and then eventually had to get up and wait to get the boxes) The food was great. I highly recommend the French toast and the breakfast sandwich sub the meatless sausage! The ambiance is beautiful- poolside at the resort. Very fun brunch spot!

I just realized I left two poor reviews in a row and that's not really my style but this trend to closing before your posted time has got to stop The Colony Club is located in a boutique hotel near the north end of downtown. It is beautiful inside without being pretentious. We ate twice over the course of a couple of weeks so this review is based off both visits. Let me say that the service is excellent. And that's everyone from the host to the server to the bud staff. The food is solid not spectacular but the price value seems appropriate. Some dishes were better than others. For breakfast two of us had the baked eggs. That was the winning dish. Served piping hot, good portion, savory sauce. They both loved it and my taste had me wanting more. I had a chicken Cobb salad which was tasty but missing the blue cheese. Another friend had the French toast which he enjoyed but I got sugar overload looking at it. On the dinner night I had the grilled sea bass which was beautifully prepared and piping hot. The piccata type sauce was a little too much. I don't like to hide my fish. My partner had the steak which he enjoyed but it was standard. We shared a salad which we enjoyed- greens and nuts and veggies.

What to love about the Colony Club? The setting and the outdoor patio are gorgeous. The food too is terrific. However, the service is horrible and the indoor dinning room is too loud. Last night as an example: -We arrive and the hostess is no where to be found. She emerged from a group of staff who were chatting over near the kitchen door. -Our server left a drink off the initial cocktail order. It took 15 minutes to get her back to the table to order another cocktail as a replacement. -Our server left one of the entrees off our order. When we mentioned it to her, it took 40 minutes to receive it. -Our server never returned to bring desert menus. We had to go find her in the restaurant. -Our server took our credit card and never came back. When we stepped away to find her (again), she brought two out and said she wasn't sure which one was ours. At those prices, the service should be top-notch. I will not return - as this seems to be a common thread amongst other reviewers. Its a shame too - as the property, the outdoor patio and the food are all worthy.

Stunning, Old Hollywood-style setting along the courtyard pool presented a promising ambiance upon arrival. Unfortunately the actual dining experience left much (everything) to be desired. Server was cold, robotic, indifferent. Pleasantries and skills of a finer dining experience completely absent. Plates snatched with haste and little more than an a brief acknowledgment of the task. The size of our party granted an auto-gratuity beyond what was appropriate. Food was beyond mediocre. The 10oz fillet was bizarrely presented cut in half and may easily have been confused for the product of an Applebee's. Unfortunately, the fast casual price tag did not accompany it. $62 for a steak that I would have sent back if it had been cooked incorrectly. To their (minimal) credit it was prepared medium-rare as requested, it was just a garbage cut of meat. Risotto was watery and under flavored. The truffle fries were good. Cocktails were fine if not also overpriced. Perhaps stop in quickly to grab a cocktail and snap a pic of the lovely setting before venturing to a better option. Applebee's included.

A bit disappointing but not terrible. We came on Christmas Day and I expect holiday meals in restaurants to be busy and maybe not the best time to judge a place's service. But we had a late afternoon reservation and the restaurant was very quiet, so I'm it sure why our waitress was a bit out of it. I would rate the food 3.5/5 but the service was closer to a 3, which is a little hard to deal with when they charge an automatic 22% gratuity. A $120 per person prix fixe meal for 2 people with only 1 beer each became $360. That would be fine for normal service - especially on a holiday- but not for that meal. The starters were fine, the duck main was well cooked, but the "panna cotta" was more like a soup/foam (who do you think you are kidding??) The bill was placed on our table at the one hour mark, while we were still eating and drinking, so we decided it would just be better to go elsewhere for the next drink. Strange. Overall, not terrible but definitely no reason to go back. Too bad!

Super cute brunch spot! Wish they had more vegan options but when I come here with friends it's more for that Palm Springs ambience. It's lovely catching up while dining outside by the hotel pool :) Staff members are super kind, and the restroom is always kept clean! There's parking in the back or you can park across the street and walk.

I cannot recommend Colony Club. Perhaps they will improve. My wife and I had a late dinner on a weeknight, 8pm on Thursday. We were looking forward to it. We had traveled to Palm Springs, joined by our little dog, for a business trip extended for a long weekend. Our experience at this venue was a disappointment, and I say that as a relatively easy grader if you look at my posts here in general. I wish I could say something else. As my wife said, at this price point you expect better. The initial impression was positive. This is a place that signals classiness, or, in a less positive light, privilege -- you feel as if you are entering a space where people who have the means to golf on exclusive courses would come afterward. The truth is I did not grow up going to restaurants such as this, or, for that matter, restaurants other than fast food, or on a special occasion a chain establishment such as Red Lobster. I am not sure my family would have felt anything other than awkward in the city of Palm Springs in general. I can afford to dine here now, again for a special occasion and not on a regular basis. But I would be foolish not to wish for an experience worth that expense. To reiterate, walking in, we felt good. People were enjoying themselves by a fire pit as you would picture in a television advertisement for a fire pit. The food was fine. We had eaten quite a bit earlier in the day, at a late lunch in neighboring La Quinta. We also had chips and salsa and sat outside at our Air BnB. That meant we ordered only two mains and a dessert, no starters. We also had a glass of wine each. We split the entrees, the seabass and the Impossible (vegetarian) meatloaf. My wife does not eat meat, and I am trying to eat less. We enjoyed both items. The seabass was prepared perfectly, with crispy skin. The meatloaf could not be distinguished from animal based protein sources, which is a description of praise, and I in particular have consumed quite a bit of the manufactured substitutes for meat, including in meatloaf form; this iteration was savory and dense and dark. The wine was good. I selected a rarity on menus, an orange wine, which had a bit of carbonation. The dessert, a butterscotch pudding, was sweet and creamy. With respect to what we ate, then, we have no complaints, and, indeed, I would be complimentary. The problem was the service. My wife put herself through school as a waitress, and she notes that when she assesses the treatment we receive. I was a theatre usher in the summer, and that involved filling many bags of popcorn. I don't like it when people overreact about service on social media. Someone who is slow with a glass of water is not someone who ought to be condemned. We all should have reasonable expectations. In this instance, everything was slow or wrong. Three people waited on us. They were all nice enough. For that matter, I would chalk up the mishaps to management and not rank and file. They don't have their systems running as they ought to. They forgot the wine. They brought the wrong dessert. Our observation is the issue was not limited to us; it was neither idiosyncratic nor discriminatory. The people at the table behind us complained directly to the waiter and requested their check earlier than would be normal if all were well. If you scroll through the reviews, which I did after the evening and not before, you see a pattern. I went in without any bias, since I had not read what others put up, and my impression is not "confirmation bias," but it is apparent we are not alone. That is my summary of Colony Club. Nonetheless, in a spirit of generosity, I'm selecting three stars for the rating. It may well be that when you, the reader, visit, they will have addressed these concerns. (And all three wait staff were friendly and gracious. To use the vernacular, this place just didn't have it together.)

Very odd/unreal experience. Super quite Saturday night dinner. My waitress "accidentally" charged almost $100 over our bill, then when I called the manger (the GM) over to respectfully dispute -the apology was cold, with no amends or offering to cover a dessert or anything else, and an odd refund from a non-existent sushi store...somethingSHADY happening here...(food was "fine")

Oh the Colony House, for what I paid, I expected more and I got so little. This meal was $97.00, yes that's right, $97.00 and my boyfriend and I weren't satisfied to say the least. What's not pictured here is his veggie burger that wasn't worth the photo. To say it plainly, I do not recommend this restaurant even if your a guest of the hotel which we were, it's better to get in your car and drive around. Sorry, it's a no for me.

We had an amazing dinner at Colony Club. The food is absolutely delicious and the service is incredible. Our server Fabiola was so friendly and was so helpful. The Deviled eggs and pork belly was so good. The drinks were amazing too. Definitely worth checking out!

We had a wonderful experience during our stay at the beautiful Colony Palms Hotel. We had dinner at Colony Club and truly enjoyed our experience. Our server, Kylie, was fantastic! The restaurant is so fun and our meal was delicious! I highly recommend staying and dining here!

Great cocktails! Josiah was the best server. Wonderful service. We will be back soon for sure!

Dinner tonight was delicious and the atmosphere was lovely but Josiah's service and his knowledge of each plate and enthusiasm to share it with us was the best part.

Was a hotel guest and ate at the restaurant for snacks and drinks. Love the chips, truffles fries and edamame hummus. The cocktails were super good. Staff was super nice. Good vibes and good times

I expected more from this classic. It's definitely a mellow vibe, which we were okay with, but the crown wasn't quite welcoming. The food was okay, your basic American menu and over priced. The drinks were also just okay, nothing too fancy, and overpriced. Service was slow although it wasn't busy at all. Our server was personable and friendly.

Wow everything was so good. The chef is very inventive. Deviled eggs were fantastic, and the seafood "parfait" was amazing! Service was absolutely top notch, and the room was gorgeous, very Palm Springs. Only downside: A bit pricey. A cocktail supper for two, with four small plates and drinks, added up to $180 with tax and tip. Big night out for us, but we will be back.

Service was so beyond slow. Overcharged for food that took hours and did not taste good. Definitely a skip.

Probably the best restaurant in America if you like paying $20 for two slices of bread Truly the most astonishingly, ridiculously, needlessly expensive restaurant I've ever been to. This from a lifelong San Franciscan and New Yorker. I'd book literally anywhere else. Enjoy the pool.

This place was terrible, made a reservation yesterday while I was in London for biz. Me and my girl waited for 20 minutes on a dirty table, zero service. No water, no one came to take our order. Walked out after 20 minutes. I asked the valet guy to call the manger, no one came. We drove away. The propriety looked super cool and would love to be a regular here, I just don't get it lol.

Sunday brunch at The Colony Club was great. The hotel is so cute and relaxing. I ordered the baked eggs and they were sooo good! We also split the french toast which was delicious but very sweet, probably not a stand-alone meal.

As shown, the Mediterranean Beef kabob Was delicious. Light for the pool. the cucumber and beets were refreshing.

Insanely expensive for BAD food, VILE cocktails, and mixed service. It was PAINFUL to pay over $400 (before tip) for dinner for 3. The evening starts fabulously with 1st first server/bartender William making a PERFECT Vieux Carré cocktail (basically a twist on a Manhattan). We also had tasty deviled eggs as a starter so we were excited! BUT, William's shift ended. We got new server Collette, who just didn't give a crap, and a new female bartender who has NO business being behind a bar. Everything went horribly downhill from there. My delicata squash "salad" was several wedges of cooked squash served cold. COLD, unseasoned squash with just a few shavings of fennel and radishes that also had no flavor. The sea bass was dry and overcooked, also unseasoned, and just drowning in butter. The pasta dish was bland and forgettable. Ordered the ribeye med/rare. It was cremated. They'd even sliced it in half all the way through lengthwise (WHY even do that to a steak??). You could see it was completely gray! I sent it back. Collette didn't offer to have the kitchen to cook another. I ordered another Vieux Carré. The vile undrinkable concoction I got was NOT the same lovely drink William made. It was just plain disgusting. I sent it back and ordered an Old Fashioned. I don't know how a bartender could annihilate this simple common cocktail like she did. Couldn't even taste the whisky! Undrinkable. I pushed it to the edge of the table and left it. Server Collette didn't notice. The cheesecake was WONDERFUL. (Yay! Finally something yummy!) but the chocolate tart awful. It was hard THICK pastry that needed a steak knife filled with a little bit of cold chocolate pudding. The apple ginger pudding cake was served cold with a few slices of raw apples on top. Not even warm delicious cooked apples as you'd expect. We felt bad wanting to send pretty much everything back so we just asked for the bill. It took Collette 3 times to get us the correct bill. They also charged us for the steak and cocktail we'd sent back and the cocktail I clearly didn't drink. It was a sad, expensive, experience which happened to be our Christmas dinner this year. I wish we'd just had In N Out instead.

The food was decent, but much better options for the price other places in town. The service was rough. We went on a weekday, place is pretty empty. Our waiter never filled our water once, forgot our drinks for over 30 minutes, randomly disappeared throughout the night as we wanted to order more apps. The ambiance is beautiful, but far from a great experience.

What a wonderful experience me and my family received last night Lizzett really took care of us with her service. She was very attentive which I really liked and accommodating even though the food was not up to my expectations the service she provided really made up for that. I will return only because of her service.

I wish I could give them 0 star! I recently dined at this establishment, and while the ambiance was pleasant, my experience was marred by several issues. The service was disappointingly slow; our food and even basic drinks arrived much later than expected. The swordfish I ordered was undercooked, leaving me dissatisfied with my meal. To top it off, when the bill came, I was shocked to see an extra $164 charge labeled as "big party charges" for our party of just four people, which seemed unjustified. Furthermore, we initially ordered wine per glass at $15 each, but the server encouraged us to get a bottle, only to find out that the bottle of wine was exorbitantly priced at $130 and she added a wrong bottle to our bill. This pricing inconsistency left me feeling disappointed. Don't spend a penny at this place! I've been to many restaurants and the money is not an issue but when you feel some restaurants are there to F you over, you get disappointed! Terrible experience!

Came here for the first time for their special Thanksgiving Dinner pre-fix meal and I have to say I was unfortunately underwhelmed by the whole experience. The Colony Club itself is a nice space located in a boutique hotel. It definitely has a more old school boutique-y vibe, but in a good way. In terms of the service there, that's my main issue with this experience. Yes, we came on Thanksgiving day, but we had an early reservation and the restaurant was not full by any means when we got there. After we got seated, it probably took at least 15 minutes before anyone came by to ask if we wanted to place a drink order, let alone offer us any water. This was a recurring theme of the night and the service overall was pretty slow and we were constantly having to flag down waiters. In terms of the food...it was good, but it didn't really blow me away. They had a Thanksgiving pre-fix menu for $95 per person, which I honestly thought was a bit overpriced for what you got. They served all the dishes family style and it was your typical Thanksgiving fare -- salad, cornbread, turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie for dessert. Once again, the food was good, but it really tasted like any average Thanksgiving dinner. For $95 per person, the food should have been a bit more elevated and special. Another slightly annoying thing about the food service was that they charged extra for blue cheese olives for martinis. Now I've had my fair share of martinis at bars and typically if they have blue cheese olives, they'll just include that in your drink by default or if you ask for it. My friend asked if they had blue cheese olives for his martinis and they said yes, but that it would cost extra -- at $2 per olive, and they gave 2 olives per drink. Charging $4 extra per drink just for olives seemed a bit excessive to me. I'm more than happy to give this place another try on a normal night, but as far as Thanksgiving meals go, I probably wouldn't come back here again.

The dining room is way cool with great views of the pool and a romantic setting. Service was impeccable. Friendly, prompt and helpful. Food was shared so we could enjoy all the flavors. Wine selection paired well with help from waiter and made the whole experience first class. Dessert was a challenge. All three were enticing. The caramel choice was light, tasty and something unlike we have had before. Really great time.

Unfortunately a really bad experience all in all. We had been booked into a private room, but it was not available. Food was uninspiring, certainly not at the price being charged, but I guess it was the ambiance (which was nice) we paid for. At least 1 ordered item never showed up, and the wine we ordered sat for 15-20 min during dinner service with no one to open the bottles. Salt and pepper took forever to get and was much needed. One drink was incorrectly delivered twice (whiskey and gingerale turned into whiskey and Diet Coke). The manager was observing this and did swing by after for an apology, which was appreciated. This was a dinner for 2 50th birthday celebrations and we came from out of town. This experience did not make it to our modest expectations. I really hope they can improve, because the setting is nice.

I don't usually rant but wanted to contribute as there's only one other review... -- Service: The staff individually were great, with the exception of the hostess, who we had a bizarre interaction with when trying to grab brunch before checking out Sunday AM. We didn't have a reservation and were told that there was no current availability for a 2 top. When my fiancé asked if we could make a one for the earliest available, she rolled her eyes and waved us over to be seated. ?? Ok rude, but at least we got a table. We def got the impression that they weren't trying to seat anymore guests. Both food and bar service took forever. Again, staff was friendly and apologetic, but things just ran slow. I felt bad for the employees bc they were hustling but prob didn't get what they deserved (TIP YOUR SERVICE WORKERS PPL!). In talking to other guests, the general consensus was that they were quite understaffed the whole weekend. -- Food: The avocado toast is literally a loaf of bread cut in half with a smear of avocado. Seriously, the bread was comically thick and every plate I saw was left full of dry bread leftovers. Seeing this in advance, I ordered mine with sourdough instead, which I received one slice of toast, topped with avo spread with 1/4 of one cucumber slice and 1/2 a tiny cherry tomato! I know avo toast isn't inherently the most impressive dish, but this was a joke. Fiancé ordered the sausage hash and was underwhelmed, as it wasn't very flavorful and had giant chunks of uncrisp potato. -- Ambiance: Nice, as it's at the pool and being adults only, quiet and chill. Indoor/outdoor space is nice, though no umbrellas so it got very hot in the direct sun. -- Summary: I wanted to love this place bc the hotel itself was quite a nice stay, but sadly we won't be back. I hope management gets their team some support.

Avoid this place. I had a mediocre food experience when I came with my friends the first time. Food was forgetful. The only thing good was that the actual vibes of the restaurant were really nice. Service was meh too. This time, I came with my husband to give it a second chance. We made a reservation weeks in advance. The day we showed up, they told us a bride and groom bought out the restaurant for their party and that I am not allowed to go in for my reservation. This is unacceptable. How are you able to operate a high functioning restaurant if you don't shut down your reservation system for a buy out? This is entirely the restaurants fault for doing this. Why couldn't they just cancel my reservation beforehand since they clearly know about a wedding party? Seems to me, it's poorly run. Can't expect a restaurant to be good if they cannot even operate the right way. 1 star for them. They didn't make it right either. I just had to go find another place to eat and wait in line even with a reservation for this place. Don't trust.

We love stopping by for dinner at the bar. The atmosphere is great. It feels hidden (at least at night)... winding path through the hotel lobby, past the private pool cabanas, around the fire pit and ... there it is! The restaurant interior is glamorous, small and intimate. Being near the pool, it is the kind of place you could dress up for dinner or be casual and still feel comfortable. There are 4? 5? seats at the bar. Great cocktails. Kind staff esp William at the bar. We order the deviled eggs, carpaccio (ask for a tiny bit of soy on the side), steak with broccolini.

We were there during Labor Day weekend 2022. An absolute disaster of a service and a garbage disposal of a restaurant. We were served half-baked, oil soaked, zucchini bread followed by stone cold sulfury deviled eggs. We sent both plates back, no explanation from the kitchen whatsoever. The veal pasta was served in a slimy cream sauce. It was revolting to say the least. A disastrous of a dinner night out. Waitress acknowledged that the food is bad that evening, they apologized and managed to only charge us for the wine and one other item. Great decor, terrible food and service.
