Grilled cheese and carrot soup
Brian P.

Impressive wine list and knowledgeable staff. Very accommodating until time to cash out. Carrot soup was layered with flavor. Each bite revealed subtle goodness. The grilled cheese was def a step up from Alice B's. The brioche is buttered and toasted to perfection. French onion accents meld with the gooey cheesey goodness to result in one harmonious note. Vastly different rosé selection, explore each one.

House made sourdough with egg yolk and butter, and a cheese plate they so kindly put together for us!
Kristie C.

VIBES: This place was so cute, reminded me of somewhere you'd find in Barcelona. FOOD/DRINK - cheese plate was served even though kitchen was closing and this is off menu, but every cheese was delectable: Brie, beemster and a very mild manchego. SO good - house made bread: crispy, crunchy exterior a toasted with a great bread and fun egg yolk - non alcoholic rose: very very tasty Overall would definitely come back especially for one of their large cheese boards. Service was very friendly for having accommodated us when they were close to closing!!

While on a girl's trip to Palm Springs this summer we stumbled upon Canopy as we were shopping in the downtown area and looking for poor Marilyn who had been moved from her usual spot. The owner helped us out by pointing us in the right direction and we noticed the restaurant and the beautiful décor as we chatted with him. We returned for dinner and were very impressed with the food, wine, and service. I had one of their spritzes (I think the champagne one) and for my entrée, I had the La Scala chopped salad with chickpeas and chicken. It was very tasty. I also tried the roasted beets with couscous, artichokes, and feta, which was even better. Everyone was also raving about the Dirty Della sandwich with mortadella and a pistachio pesto mayo, which was recommended by the waiter. To finish off, we did share in a slice of the burnt Basque cheesecake which was delightful. We sat outside and the temperature had cooled down just enough to have a slight breeze. The place is even more pretty at night. I highly recommend checking out this gem if in the area.

taken upon the incident where waitress spilled dark wine on me

UNREPENTANT MANAGEMENT -- ZERO REMEDIES FOR DAMAGING MY DESIGNER PANTS! (They ignored my repetitive emails). They even emphasized how to add TIP after they spilled red wine on my gold pants (100% waitress fault who chickened out after only saying "sorry 1X " ..to my husband instead). Such an embarrassment of lack of etiquette -- it is falsely advertised as upscale. NO MANNERS one teaches a child at five years old, not to mention CUSTOMER SERVICE. (They are a liability to their liability insurance (in my opinion) cause they have zero emotional intelligence, people skills nor mediation and trouble solving skills - cut-throat GREED). My husband said, when I ran to the restroom to try to wash it out rapidly, she briefly said something like "sorry, did I get you too?," but she never checked on me again ! Instead she "chickened out" and was hiding behind the counter and made her blonde colleague check us out. The perpetrator was hiding in he back. I was naive to first write a polite email to management how I can empathize with the stress of the job and that she may have caused the accident cause she I tried to do too much at once and it backfired. But no apology, zero remorse or accommodations?! She didn't try waive any charges!! No free desert...which would have been inadequate anyways... and that's why I left in shock....I could not recall such rudeness except from maybe THIEVES. I didn't want a confrontation. They were closing rather early, and the manager was not there. Only younger staff chatting at the bar themselves. I felt "fight or flight." I was tired, earlier I participated in  an outdoor event where I felt dizzy from the heat. I didn't eat all day. I had finally cooled off, showered and changed and wanted to enjoy my weekend vacation. I didn't want to end the night with a public argument. I figured, if the waitress is lacking basic manners of HUMANITY & MORALS, if I demand a compensation from such a less competent possibly unintelligent or evil individual, then what she will offer me would be probably unreasonable anyways. I figured...enjoy the night and explore Palm Springs -- I emailed the manager in the early morning expecting a fair assessment of a remedy in hospitality would be. (I said, look at the camera footage!!!!!) But my emails to manager@canopywinelounge.com & info@canopywinelounge.com were IGNORED. Disbelief! ZERO Accountability! When I called the manager YELLED BACK AT ME (possibly in a misogynistic tone). ZERO SORRY!!!!!! I worked with difficult clients in the past, even if you are not at fault (which she 100% was), you swallow your pride and try to please the customer. That was disrespectful! I forgive mistakes but I deserved a sorry. I never wore these pants before; they a vintage collectible designer. I support local businesses. I even volunteered & tried to help advertise local business in my city. I don't like to post negative reviews...I just don't return when unhappy. This was the rudest experience in a long time- WORSE THAN FINDING A FLY IN YOUR FOOD OR HAIR! This lack of respect and accountability is shocking in such a nobly advertised lounge.

deviled eggs app
Emily W.

great selection of wine and live music. service is aligned with any good PS spot which are attentive without feeling interrupted. the space isn't huge, but still can be a great spot for a 6 top or a solo diner.

Deviled egg!!
Pam C.

We stumbled upon Canopy while looking for a place to have dinner. Although not wine connoisseurs, my friend had a margarita made with agave wine, which she pronounced delicious. We had the deviled eggs -amazing!- and the charcuterie board which was like the high tea of delectable meats and cheeses, with all sorts of little surprises tucked in for us to enjoy. Way too much for two people, would be nice to have a smaller option but we ate as much as we could. Our servers were friendly and efficient and Chef Kristen served our food and chatted with us about her deviled egg recipe. The outdoor setting was comfortable and quiet off the main street. Two comments/suggestions-- put up some sort of screen along the patio to block the view of the port-a-potties at the skate park; and for pete's sake get a Nespresso machine so one can enjoy a cup of coffee with their dessert!

Chaedonnay All Day $45 flight very well presented
Jeremy R.

There I was, headed to Ponzu Sushi when I heard something unexpected--an angelic voice drifting over from the next block, wrapped in the soft strum of a guitar. I followed the music like a scene from a movie and found myself at Canopy Wine Bar. And let me tell you, it's a scene worth stepping into. This spot is all about quiet elegance. The menu is tight and thoughtful. I opted for the wine flight, and Flight #4 was right up my alley--Domaine Jean-Michel Dupre Vin Orange. Yes, look at me reading the menu like I know what I'm doing! As the sun dipped below the mountains and the live music wrapped the patio in calm, it felt like one of those "remember this" moments. If you're in Palm Springs on a Sunday night, this place should absolutely be on your radar. Now, a little secret: the Kale Caesar Salad. But this isn't your average Caesar--it's lifted by espelette red pepper, a French chili that doesn't shout, it sings. At just around 4,000 on the Scoville scale, it's more about warm complexity and subtle depth than heat. It rounds out the dish beautifully. That's all I'll give away. The rest you'll have to experience for yourself. Canopy isn't just a wine bar--it's a vibe, a moment, and a little slice of Palm Springs magic.

Such a cute, chill wine lounge! It was my first time in DT Palm Springs, where parking can be tricky. My friends and I hung out on the outdoor patio around the fire pit - a great people-watching spot. The interior (and apparently bathrooms) are aesthetically pleasing as well. Fantastic wine selection and customer service. Love Canopy and their happy hour specials!

My husband and I had a beautiful time at Canopy! It's so nice to see a true wine bar come to Palm Springs. You can't beat the decor for a fun yet intimate vibe, everywhere you look is photo-worthy, it's truly a beautiful place. The staff were ALL so kind, attentive, and welcoming. We did a flight each and they ensured glasses were swiftly removed once finished to make space which was a nice touch. We did the chilled reds tasting flight since it was 105° that day - it hit the spot! Perfect 3oz pours so we could sample from different regions. The Nebbiolo was a great way to finish off the evening as well - can't wait to go back tomorrow!

Took a bite before remembering to take the picture lol

Came here for dessert and a glass of wine! Such a vibe- service was kind. Wine & orange cake were the perfect end to my night! Saw a couple enjoying a charcuterie board & it looked so good. Will be back!

The 1/2 Charcuterie ---
Leslie S.

What a great place. Went twice in a week. 1st time was hungry-it really is a wine lounge - not too many offerings but what we had was Really Good! The service totally awesome friendly warm. We sat outside not too far from the "fire tables?" We had a nice dry Reisling shared their 1/2 charcuterie platter for 2 which was alot of delish items. Yummy olives cheeses Italian meats. Nice cracker selection grapes + condiments! 2nd time with friends shared their Iberico bread which was like a delish grown up empanada w chips! I had the Champagne Flight. All good last thing they had a DJ who played incredible old disco + music from 70's /80's but beautiful jazzy remakes. All good here!

View from our table!

Love love love Canopy! We walked past this place while previewing our dinner spot and popped in to see what they had going on for NYE. They mentioned a 9pm toast which was perfect since my hubby is from the east coast and liked to celebrate at 9pm and 12pm, so we decided to pop back in after our dinner. Beyond friendly service- truly and genuinely wonderful people work here. The vibe and space is beautiful and you can tell they spent so much time with the details, finishes and fixtures. We had some drinks and olives to nibble on until the countdown. The staff passed around fun NYE themed glasses, hats, etc and glasses of champagne to everyone! It was a magical way to ring in the new year and we look forward to coming back soon when we are in town.

We didn't have any issues around 10pm. Seating: An intimate lounge for the most part, bar seating, group seating, room for about 50 people total. Vibes: Downtown Palm Springs is an eventful place. Small enough that it's close to the type of vibe you need. As for the space itself, it has a dim lighting, a tv for sports or popular shows if you just want to zone out. You have your usual singers and a good ebb and flow of people trying to catch a song. Karaoke is definitely the heart of this place. Whether someone is absolutely crushing it or having fun with friends, it's a supportive place with good vibes all around. DRINKS Vodka Soda with Lime (Recommend) A simple drink that gets the job done. Cold, refreshing, and well balanced. Just a solid cocktail to help you relax and enjoy the vibes. CUSTOMER SERVICE Friendly, attentive, and easygoing. DJ is great and same as the servers. TL;DR OVERALL 4.5 Stars. Good drinks, welcoming people, and one of those neighborhood bars that doesn't have to be expensive and flashy. Great space where people can laugh, sing, meet new friends, and enjoy a night out. Enjoy! TIPS * Karaoke is the main attraction--don't be afraid to sign up for a song. * Vibes will come in waves, sometimes it's poppin and sometimes its chill.

My wife ordered the poblano chile relleno, and everything on the plate was delicious. The refried pinto beans were especially good, and the corn pudding was amazing--like a little piece of corn tamal! Then came the carrot cake sandwich... and honestly, it looked like they saved the best for last. This might be the best carrot cake we have ever tried! The layers of cream cheese semifreddo, carrot ribbon cream, candied pecans, orange crisps, and salted caramel were absolutely incredible. I would honestly come back to Eight4Nine just for the carrot cake. Everything we had was delicious, but the dessert stole the show without a doubt. A big thank you to Sandy, our waitress, for the great recommendations and wonderful service. We loved celebrating our anniversary here and definitely want to come back!

We both opted for Coconut Margarita (blended) didn't want to cross the line and get drunk. That is why we took the Uber down there. Smart idea right? Right! They have a dance floor, DJ, and live music. Also a cover charge for entrance. $10.00 which is not bad at all. Other places charge way more..Can't comment on the food, since we didn't eat there. The minute I came back from the restroom to my seat, this lovely elderly gentlemen invited me to dance. Since he was more like my friend's age, she thought that he was about to ask her to dance.. Place was very clean, David checked on us twice, and the feeling/vibe along with the atmosphere was just PERFECT!! The song that the band was playing was "Besame Mucho". I am sure most of you have heard of that song, if you haven't, it's never too late. If I happen to be in Palm Springs again, I will definitely go back to this club. You are never too old to have fun.

It is ideal for catching up with friends, starting off a night out, or enjoying a relaxed evening drink. Beyond the fantastic ambiance, the service is top-notch.

They don't pick up the phone at all, so don't bother calling. They do, however, take walk-ins if you're willing to wait. All part of the optics and over hype. We brought our own bottle of Veuve and they were great about putting it on ice for us and opened it for us so we could sip while we waited for a table. All excellent, but it came at a $49 corkage fee before tip! Geez! When we were seated, the host made a big deal about our birthdays gave us BOTH handwritten birthday cards and told the waiter to take good care of us because we were celebrating a double birthday and seated us at a center spot at the bar, which we loved! A hit! Overall, the service and ALL the staff were great, but to be honest. some of the food was hit and miss. The menu is somewhat underwhelming. They seem to be mostly known for their deviled eggs. Okay, I love a deviled egg, but so what? Every time I'd ask anyone about Bar Cecil, they'd say, "Well. their deviled eggs are good." We should have known then, but we wanted to see for ourselves what the hype was about. It's French because they serve, escargot, steak frites, and caviar service, but it's really a bunch of different food items that aren't really cohesive -- deviled eggs with dates and sage, Thai curry muscles, smoke pork chop, cacio e pepe. WTF? The best things we had were the oysters, grilled artichokes and the Bernaise sauce on the steak frites was spot on, but the steak itself was chewy and difficult to cut with a steak knife -- a miss that could have been a hit. Not worth the price point. We also ordered the Thai curry muscles, which were really good until the last six muscles, which were sandy and gritty. Again another miss, that could have been a hit. The waiter did take them off the bill, but then at the very end of our "double birthday celebration," the waiter asked, "Are you ready for desert?" My friend responded, "Well, I'm pretty full. Is it complimentary?" And he responded, "It is, but I didn't want to ruin the surprise." So we both ordered desert -- I ordered a "special" desert that wasn't on the menu. A cookie ice cream thing and she ordered the pavlova. Mine was okay. She loved hers. Again it could have been a massive hit-- instead it was a massive miss! We were charged $27 for our two "complimentary" deserts before tax and tip! Oh well, we didn't haggle and paid our bill, but only tipped 20%. We would have tipped an extra $50-$100 because it was our birthdays and we would have tipped all the comped amounts to the wait staff, figuring we would have paid those costs plus tax and tip on top of that. Too bad. Overall, I wouldn't wait in long lines any time soon for this experience. It's was just a meh for us.

One of the best dining experiences we've had in Palm Springs!…read more Bar Cecil completely exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. Everything about the evening felt thoughtful, sophisticated, and incredibly well done -- from the food and cocktails to the service and overall atmosphere. We started with the fresh bread with date butter, which was absolutely delicious and the perfect way to begin the meal. For our main courses, we ordered the roasted chicken and the ratatouille, and both were outstanding. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, beautifully prepared, and full of flavor. And then came dessert... absolutely incredible. We tried the passion fruit pavlova, lemon tart with pistachios, and warm cookies, and honestly, it was hard to choose a favorite. Every dessert was beautifully done and a perfect ending to an amazing meal. The craft cocktails deserve a special mention as well. Every cocktail we tried was delicious and so thoughtfully created. You could tell there was a lot of creativity and care put into the flavors and combinations. Nothing felt ordinary or like an afterthought. This is one of those restaurants where every detail feels intentional, and the entire experience comes together beautifully. We absolutely loved our visit and will 100% be back the next time we're in Palm Springs. If you're visiting Palm Springs, Bar Cecil absolutely belongs on your list. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for incredible food, creative cocktails, and a truly special dining experience. We can't wait to go back!
