I came for dinner to Alice B - I ordered the prawns and a fig salad. Also had to order the biscuits and they were highly recommended and definitely did not disappoint. The ambience was low lighting as one would expect for dinner time. There is an abundance of seating, almost feeling crowded( it was not crowded while we were in the restaurant. I'm just expressing that there are many tables and chairs everywhere ) I love the bar, which is the first impression I get upon cutting the corner and seeing the restaurant and its entirety. Very nice art wall with a eclectic frames and various photos. Simply dressed staff. Easy valet parking. Fun fact for all you people who appreciate art... Each floor of the building has various local artists with artwork for sale. It's honestly like walking a gallery. read more

I am so confused as to how this restaurant is in the Michelin guide? Who is writing these guides? It's located in an apartment complex for 55 and over so the ambiance is very dim and slow. The food left everything to be desired. It was so bland and my bolognese was just bad, dry and tasted reheated. I couldn't wait to leave. The ambiance was dead, the food was bland, and there is just no reason to stay. I will say many others looked like they were having a good time: so this just might have been my own pov. The table we were at was also very wonky which made for an uncomfortable time. read more

I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while now. Interesting menu with a focus on healthy food - but great tasting food. I had the grilled artichokes which were great. Lots of flavor and not tough at all. Then the deviled eggs which were not too heavy. Just a bit of bacon , with mustard and champagne vinaigrette. I splurged on the basque cheesecake- I opted for it without berries. It was delicious. Very nice selection of wine too. Very cute bar that I'll try next time. Definitely recommend as the food is very good and it can be tough to find healthy choices in Palm Springs. read more

Superb. Dined-in on Sunday evening during restaurant week and had a wonderful time. Alice B. is a vibrant and exciting experience. The live performer, the customer service, and the food are all excellent. Renata is one of the best servers in the city. She is professional, insightful, and a pleasure to experience. The songstress was excellent and had the room on their feet dancing. There was so much joy in the room, it was a truly happy place to be. Best of all is the food, the food, the food! Alice B. offers an exciting menu that's different from many in the desert. While some restaurants cater to popular, albeit mundane dishes, Alice B. elevates the palate with a unique menu that stands out against the banal recipes you see these days. Whether you're a local or in town visiting Alice B. is certainly worth a visit. Be prepared to enjoy live music with your meal, at least on Sunday evenings. If you want a quieter experience, outdoor seating is available. Appetizers not pictured: Cheddar buttermilk biscuit and apple salad. Entrees: Seeded chicken, perfectly crispy and moist. Delightful pops of flavor from the different seeds in the breading. Mushroom pasta, savory, deliciously layered flavors. Perfect portion and blend of mushrooms. Dessert: Pot de cream, sweet and light. read more

Alice B is one of the newer restaurants in the Palm Springs dining scene, having opened just under two years ago. My first visit was right around their opening, and right away, I was really impressed by the food. I was excited to try Alice B again almost two years later. From the moment I walked in, I felt super welcomed. The staff was very kind, and there was an immediate sense of hospitality. The space itself is lined with beautiful paintings and art, however, it does have a bit of a hotel restaurant vibe. The menu is fairly limited. It is one page and doesn't have much variety. Specifically for seafood, I was surprised to see that there were only two seafood options on the entire menu, one being the roasted salmon entree and the other being a grilled prawn appetizer. There are some rotating specials that aren't listed on the menu, but it is only a couple of dishes. In general, everything was fairly reasonably priced. Most entrees are around 30 to 45 dollars, while the more expensive steak options are upwards of 70 dollars. There are three salads, all between 18 and 19 dollars, and vegetables that serve as sides for 11 to 12 dollars. We started with the Bibb lettuce salad, which comes tossed with cucumber, avocado, squash seeds, and snap peas in a green goddess dressing. At $19, the portion size wasn't huge, but the ingredients felt incredibly fresh, and the dressing was creamy and delicious. The herbs were aromatic and flavorful, and all of the vegetables were nice and crisp. For the main, the pork shoulder was a standout. It was exceptionally soft and tender, bursting with flavor the second I bit into it. It was served with beans that were rich, creamy, and textured perfectly. For sides, the potatoes were beautifully crispy, and we also tried a Brussels sprouts special. These were equally well-executed. They were crispy and savory, with a sharper cheese topping that did a great job of cutting through the oiliness of the dish. The only gripe I had throughout the meal was the service. While our server was a very nice person who clearly took a lot of pride in the food, the experience was mediocre in terms of efficiency. The food and drinks took a long time to come out, and the attentiveness wasn't quite there. Waters stayed empty for stretches and he struggled to answer specific questions about the menu. It often felt like he was rambling a little. However, the outstanding quality of the food really made up for any inconsistencies in the service. Alice B clearly has a talented kitchen and staff with warm hearts, but the slow pace and hotel-like atmosphere mean it's more of a relaxed, lingering spot than a polished destination. read more

Great Botox treatment. Alice is very good and will not over sell if you don't need any extras

Paloma was bright, refreshing and subtlety sweet. I quite enjoyed it. We ordered the apple date salad and cheddar buttermilk biscuits. The biscuits were kinda life changing, punctuated by freshly whipped butter and a delicious honey cardamom concoction. This dish deserves high praise. The apple and date salad was v heavy on celery and light on apple. Apple would've been nice in an apple salad, just saying. Tomato soup heavy on the basil, unexpected sweetness. Not that that's a good thing necessarily. Grilled cheese was gooey nicely toasted but ultimately kinda forgettable. Much like the apple salad, the bacon jam was suggested rather than plated, a misstep that could've really made the dish. The husband was pleased w his al dente pesto ricotta cavatelli. They charged us for the wrong bill, and service was kinda avoidant throughout. I really never need to come back here again, as the price doesn't justify the product. read more

Alice B - Espresso Martini - New American Near Me - Palm Springs, California

We drove in mid-week and decided to finally try Alice B's. There were some very strong dishes and some that disappointed. The biscuits, which they are known for had a great crumb and flavor. We ordered the grilled artichoke, which was good, we asked for melted butter as the aioli was too heavy. The crab cake, suggested by our server was deep fried, and the salad that came with it was a tasteless fries and fruit. Majorly disappointing. The description did not say it was fried and it was very heavily fried. I've heard enough about this place to want to give it another chance, but the first visit was very lackluster. The vibe is kitschy and it's a little bit difficult to find. If you've not been there there is valet parking available at no charge to make it easier to access. read more

Last Sunday evening, we had the pleasure of seeing Genine Francis perform, and as always, she delivered an unforgettable evening of fun, audience engagement, and wonderful music. She has a special gift for taking us back to a time when song lyrics carried meaning, heart, and power. I've seen her perform several times, and she never disappoints. One humble request: please consider extending her summer performance hours! An hour and a half just isn't enough time to soak in all that talent and goodness--we need a little more seasoning than that! I absolutely adore Genine and her amazingly talented husband, Chris. Together, they're a dynamic duo who bring so much joy to their audiences. And let's not forget--the drinks were absolutely on point! Thanks for listening. read more

Nice restaurant in a townhome bldg. Valet parking. Thought food was good, service a bit snooty, ambience definitely intimate and modern. Gathering place so to speak. Right Brain had the Flat Iron steak, said probably wouldn't order again. I had pasta bolognese. Was good. My take is this will be a private spot for the townhome residences and those who want privacy and ambient. read more

Exceptional! Food was super flavorful and beautifully prepared we did the prix fixe theater dinner, with amuse bouche, soup or salad, entree and dessert. All dishes were filling. The biscuits were Crack, the tomato soup was heavenly and my Italian chicken was to die for. Cocktails were expertly done and smooth. Service was very much attentive, friendly and en points. Atmosphere was wonderful. Lush mid century room (we ate in the lounge) with a great singer who practically channeled my brain for the selection. Everyone was in a good mood and enjoying themselves. I'll definitely be back. Regular menu is very pricey, but even our prix fixe of. $55 a person got expensive after one cocktail reach plus tax and tip. But it was worth it. read more

I was a bit disappointed that i didn't feel like I could explore the menu fully, and ended up getting the burger. The presentation was very appealing, and the burger was excellent. In the end, I spent a crapload of money, but I picked up the tab for the whole dam table. My bad. More options at the lower end of the price range would be an improvement. Service was great and the place is classy. In summary, I highly recommend this place if someone else is picking up the bill. read more

My partner and I have been to Alice B , and its adjacent companion room Gertie's Salon and Bar, many times. We are never disappointed. The menu is more limited for the summer , but the food is still good. The cheddar buttermilk biscuits, and the date and apple salad are delicious. The burgers , including the Brisket Burger and the non -meat burger, are very good. The desserts, particularly the Salted Caramel Pot De Creme and the Basque Cheesecake are very tasty. Our frequent server Nicole is always personable, efficient, and often anticipates our needs before we do. She is a very responsive and helpful server. read more

First time at Alice B last night for our wedding anniversary, and we were looking for something special--something a little tucked away. It turned out to be exactly what we had hoped for. If you go, definitely ask to sit outside. The service was excellent from start to finish. Renata, our server for the evening, deserves a gold star--she took care of us as if we were her only table and truly knows how to make you feel special. We started with some bubbles--perfectly refreshing. The mushroom toast was beautifully done, the burrata with fennel was delicious, and we shared the ribeye with potatoes , grilled to a perfect rare, just how we like it. We finished with cheesecake served over seasonal fruit, which was a lovely ending to the meal. A great evening all around--thank you. read more

Top tier service and food. Hands down our favorite restaurant in Palm Springs. The biscuits, crab cake, burger, pork shoulder, and salmon are especially tasty. The cocktails are great as well. We've also tried the Border Grill pop up here. Amazing. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Inside the Living Out community. Alice B is a location curated by the famous Susan Feniger. We attended Sunday brunch. Chef Susan personally was on hand and came to our table to greet us, sharing her passion, and ensuring that every bite was exceptional. The food was creative, delicious, and perfectly curated. The green shakshuka is totally unique. Whether you're looking for a fantastic lunch, handcrafted cocktails and bites, visit Alice B in Palm Springs. read more

When it's great, there is none better. But it can be hit or miss. Was the seventh party in line to be seated and took more than 15 minutes to get to the top of the line. Was seated and the excellent wait staff took our drink order and ran through the dishes that they had already ran out of-and this was 11:30 am on Sunday. Ordered Eggs Benedict (my second choice since the monte cristo was unavailable). Would have been terrific if the eggs hadn't been massively overcooked. Poached should be runny. Just a bad day. Been before when food was superlative and well worth the visit. read more

Went last night for dinner. After waiting 20 mins after our reserved time the service was horrible. Food was ok but not great. One dish never arrived. Server provided inaccurate information on the menu regarding allergies and options. Staff was overwhelmed by more than one table that complained about service. We shared our experience with the manager and he just acknowledged it had been a rough night for the restaurant. It was a real disappointment. read more

Alice B , you were absolutely delightful. Let me tell you we ordered pretty much everything to get a full review!! The Bibb salad is amazing ! I can literally get that as my main dish! Please please order the burrata with the dates , chef kiss ! The biscuits are great, I see why they offer frozen ones in the go! It's the sauce that the biscuits come with. The crisp as well was good. Now main dishes- the ribeye was super tender , only needed a butter knife to cut it. The bolognese was good just wish there was more meat, they had more tomatoes then meat. The crab cake is giant but that wasn't the star it was the pears and salad they had to pair with it. The filet was good as well. Again we ordered a lot of dishes, the second ricotta pasta I give that a 2 star. But everything else fabulous The dessert was good. Again everything had flavor , the service was great... drinks were good little on the sweeter side for a margarita I'll definitely be back. Most of the time you hear a chef win a contest or the top chef and you think is this hype..... this is worth all the hype, so thank you chef for you bringing great dishes, ambiance and more read more

Would so love to have these exceptionally creative chefs bring their Border Grill to the Coachella Valley. Perhaps at The River in Rancho Mirage or the former Roy's. The Cinco de Mayo popup was a hit at Alice B. read more

It baffles me that you can still easily get into Alice B on any given night when Bar Cecil (with its never-shifting menu of mediocre food) is the lines-out-the-door darling of the PS food scene. Hands down, Alice B is the far superior experience and for my money, the best restaurant in the Coachella Valley. I have been coming here since they opened and have come to appreciate it so much I'm going to invest the time to tell you why you need to book your next meal here: The place is modern with an upscale feel but totally welcoming vibe. But it means nothing without a menu to draw you in. The food is outstanding ... order the biscuits to start ... along with new dishes, the pork shoulder and burger evolve with the seasons, so there's something to bring you back and to look forward to. (I'm still longing for last summer's tomato panzanella salad!) The menu is also really versatile with pre-theater (it's close to the movies in PS) and special occasion options and now including brunch on weekends, which is worth a trip just for the Brie grilled cheese sandwich with bacon and onion jam melted inside along with a basil-tomato soup for dipping and swooning over. If you love Farm or Cheeky's, this should be your next brunch. Given the quality of the food, the price while far from budget is less expensive than far less-impressive local faves like Jake's or 849. There's a free valet. The staff is friendly. You really can't go wrong here, especially when you need a break from the overhyped mainstays. read more

Alice B's has a lively, interesting vibe that I enjoy. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable and friendly. There is a large bar area, with live piano Friday and Saturday evenings. Robert, who was at the keys tonight, was versatile and talented. He transitioned from each song seamlessly while chatting and accepting requests from listeners. Our finely crafted and served cocktails were very appreciated. The bar menu was reasonably priced and the items we had were good. Dinner menu looks good, we'll be back to try it out! read more

Alice B. can be hit or miss. We've been twice and had one of each experience. One night they ran out of biscuits, which is crazy since that's what people come for...and they are delicious. The branzino is delicious, bones removed. The hamachi sashimi appetizer has a SUPER unique flavor...delicious both times. The Shepard pie is uniquely prepared and yummy. The salted caramel desert is rich...good for splitting with 2-4 people so you just have a few bites. More would be too much. The first time we ate inside at prime time...WAY too loud. The outside isn't the best atmosphere, but at least you can hear people. I think they need to remodel the space and it would be much better. The food quality gets overshadowed by the poor atmosphere. read more

Went for Mother's Day brunch. Blissfully calm with a great vibe and tasty food. Great cocktails too. Eager to go back for dinner.

Incredible food. Lovely service and free valet services. We got the date salad, famous biscuits (divine!), mushroom toast, chocolate brownie, Cesar salad, and two drinks. Food was outstanding. Drinks sadly were forgettable and honestly I wish we'd skipped the drinks. Ambiance was perfect for a romantic date night. It was really dark but a beautiful room. Half the price it would be if this restaurant was in Seattle. It'll be on our regular list now! read more

While Alice B is temporarily closed, the new "Gertie's Place" is a very welcome addition to Palm Springs this summer. we tried 2 great cocktails, the biscuits, shrimp cocktail, sliders and Mac and cheese. this was by the best value and experience we have experienced in Palm Springs in years. a huge congratulations is in order! The service was superb and ambience was on point! read more

Great food and service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu it's all super fresh and made from scratch, but if you love seafood the amberjack Crudo is a must, it's fantastic and the Blackhawk Wagyu Denver steak is the perfect steak dinner very filling the meat is cooked perfectly and comes with lots of crispy smashed potatoes. Now whether you like biscuits or not you MUST order the biscuits because these are like none you've ever tried. They're made with cornmeal and they're so fluffy in the inside and crispy on the outside and they serve them with a cardamom honey. They're awesome! O don't consider myself a biscuit lover but I can't wait to go back and eat these again. Definitely give this place a try. read more

Another wonderful meal here! , Our server Paul did a great job of taking care of us with describing the specials and cocktails. We started with the biscuits and the olives. both wonderful. I had the Date apple salad which I love with the butter beans quite yummy. 2 of us had the Bronzino which I feel is the best in the desert. and One of us had the special Baja swordfish which was also great! Desert we had the Salted Pot De Creme . A very fun and delicious meal! read more

We stopped by to try the food. We're from Las Vegas and want to try another places of this owner who well knows in our town.first The atmosphere in the restaurant was really nice for an apartment setting also the service was great as well . We ordered MEDJOOL DATE & APPLE and JAPANESE HAMACHI CRUDO, and both were excellent--fresh and full of flavor. And of course, we couldn't miss trying CHEDDAR BUTTERMILK BISCUITS. Normally, I don't really like them because they're usually dry, but here they were different--moist and paired perfectly with whipped butter and cardamom seeded honey .I'll definitely be coming back here again for sure. read more

Near the end of a day visiting Palm Springs, my friend and I enjoyed an early dinner in the mostly empty Alice B's. By the time we left, the restaurant was almost completely full. We opted for a table on the patio. My friend watched the tops of the mountains and palm trees and the sky gradually darken in the east, over the low wall of our table. My view was toward the colorfully painted and aquatic-themed mural on the back wall of the restaurant, as well as what my friend saw as reflected in the panels of the glass patio doors behind her. The service was terrific. We asked that our dishes come out one at a time and they did. Our waiter checked on us a few times. Unbidden, she refilled our water glasses from the bottle at our table. We started with three warm cornmeal-cheddar drop biscuits. A signature item, they were as good a cornmeal biscuit as I've ever tasted, crisp outside and soft inside, with cardamom-infused honey and a large pat of butter on the side. Next up: a generously-sized chicory salad with pomegranate seeds, pears, hazelnuts, a shallot thyme vinaigrette and crumbly blue cheese. We ordered the acorn squash, with pomegranate seeds and seasonings, which was a market day item. I occasionally bake acorn squash. When it emerges from my oven, I like it. However, after the acorn squash at Alice B's, I need to seriously up my game. The swordfish, tender and moist, arrived, accompanied by fingerling potatoes. No complaints. (My friend thought the dish arrived slightly on the cool side). We skipped dessert. I had a cup of coffee. Our dinner was the perfect end to the day as we exited through the dining room, past the piano player and the bar, and out to the front doors, to where we had free valet parking. As noted in other reviews, Alice B's is located in an LGBTQ seniors' complex. The restaurant is named for Alice B Toklas, an early 20th century American who, along with the American writer and life partner, Gertrude Stein, were part of the Parisian avant-garde. (They were hosts to the likes of Ernest Hemingway, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Pablo Picasso, Henri Matisse, Isidore Duncan, etc). During our visit, Alice B's had a mixed group of patrons, including couples, families with young children, and groups of friends. Everyone we saw seemed to be having a good time. read more

Perhaps it's the growing pains of a newly opened restaurant, but there's a few things that in our experience need ironing out. First, the vodka martini my wife asked for came with an overdose of vermouth. The server was extremely apologetic and offered to re-make it -- which he did himself! The food menu is interesting though limited. We only eat seafood and vegetarian food but were still able to find options. That said, the dishes we ordered were well prepared, presented nicely, and tasted good. The service was excellent and good humored. The ambiance is modern casual. read more

We came in for brunch on a Saturday afternoon and have a lovely experience. We were seated outdoors but the inside is beautifully decorated and inviting as well. The brunch menu offers a wide variety of items from French toast, eggs, yogurt and heavier items like the pulled port sandwich that I got. My sandwich was very good with a generous portion of pork that had wonderful flavor. The accompanying roasted potatoes were outstanding. We tried the biscuit special which was chocolate. I definitely recommend and look forward to what their special is during my next visit. The dinner menu has some fantastic choices that we will try at an upcoming visit. read more
