A classic place to go

Hands down, the worst service experience I've ever had in a restaurant. After being seated, it was at least 10 minutes before the waitress came to our table. We ordered promptly. I ordered a Caesar salad in addition to our entrees. It took 30 minutes for the Caesar salad to arrive at the table. Our waitress was preoccupied with another table. 45 minutes after I had finished my salad, there was no sign of our entrees or the waitress. I finally got her attention and she said that the restaurant was busy with another large party and that was causing our food delay. She never apologized. We waited another 15 minutes, we had been there almost 2 hours, and I asked the waitress the status of her food. She went back and checked on the food and she said it would be 2 minutes. 5 minutes later there was no sign of any food. I said we're leaving. I asked for our check for the salad and she said that she would comp us for the food. I said what food? We left without ever having our entrees served. I would avoid this restaurant at all cost. P.S., The Caesar salad was terrible.

The quality of drinks and food is not what you would expect of a fine dining restaurant. Unfortunately the mojitos were awful however, we didn’t return them and instead ordered a different drink and it was just as bad (1 star out of five on drinks). Oysters were incredibly small as well as the portions of the entree. The Scampi did have amazing flavors as well as the brussels sprouts however, the over all experience of fine dining was sadly missing.

An incredible experience from start to finish. From the Table-side Steak Diane was perfectly prepared and packed with flavor to the Table-side Bananas Foster served warm and delicious. The entire staff was welcoming, courteous and friendly. Thank you for an awesome experience!

Amazing staff at the bar and at the table. The food was great if you order the traditional dinners. Super place...Purple Room was disgusting...so happy we found Melvins.

Save your money— service and ambulance are great— food is overpriced and mediocre at best. Ceaser Salad is a plate of lettuce with 3 croutons and some unknown dressing served with an entree or overcooked salmon the size of a candy bar.

I specifically made a reservation at Melvyn's for my 35th birthday because I just *knew* it would be special and it did not disappoint!

From the minute we walked in we were treated like stars and sat in Frank Sinatras favorite booth. The door staff and servers were delightful and we couldn't get enough of how good the food was. It was so quiet on our side that you wouldn't have even know there was live piano in the bar area!

Everything was so fantastic and I felt like a glamorous, Hollywood star for my birthday from the minute we walked in the door.

15/10 would recommend and definitely will be back next time we come to PS!

I think most folks would say that Melvyn's is not going to pursue new culinary territory with their cuisine. But they sure know how to satisfy a customer. I think you go there for the nostalgia, the ambience and the perfectly poured cocktails.

We went one night for drinks and stayed for dinner. Service from behind the bar was first rate. We enjoyed a wedge salad, a risotto and a bottle of Napa Sauvignon Blanc.

Conversation around the bar was convivial and animated. There was a pianist playing show tunes and Tom Jones. Melvyn's is old school Palm Springs at its finest.

Someone at our resort told us to go here - they really hyped it up “the rat pack use to hang out there, there’s live music - sit in Frank Sinatra’s old booth!”

It was good. Not great. But honestly the best we found in Palm Springs. I take it it’s not really a foodie town. The service was probably the best service I’ve ever had though. Really attentive and everyone was on top of it! My water never passed the half point. I mean on top of it.

The bananas foster was a cool “experience” but it was okay. Melty and just fine.

Steak was pretty good though and I think the best thing was the shrimp cocktail.

You will almost never hear me say a place was too dark but with carpet - YES CARPET - and black walls. It felt too dark. Like I could see just how old it was. If there was live music it was waaaay far away somehow else because we heard nothing.

Overall I just expected better food for the price (over $300 for two ppl). Not surprised that we could get a reservation only a day out.

From the beginning, the service was terse, even condescending at times, and inadequate. The food was mediocre at best. My partner and I shared a NY strip - and asked for it to be rare/medium rare. We received a decidedly MEDIUM/medium well steak with no pink to be seen. The "broccoli smoked cheddar fondue" was the equivalent of steamed broccoli with Velveeta. We noticed other tables had been served bread - so we asked about bread. The server callously laughed at our inquiry, telling us that we had to ORDER bread. After ordering a steak, multiple sides, and drinks, how silly of us to think bread at a premium restaurant like this would be served. The waiter never even SUGGESTED we order bread when we placed our entree and sides order. What a miss. In any case - spend your time and money elsewhere. We won't be returning.

Always one of our favorites when we're visiting Palm Springs. You can't beat the pot pie.

We spent an amazing Sunday afternoon there listening to the entertainment which was marvellous. Had bar snacks and cocktails. An awesome way to spend a few hours and go back in time.
