My youngest loved her spaghetti and meatballs and she is usually pretty picky about pasta. I had the butternut squash ravioli and they were rich, creamy, and exactly what I wanted. My wife ordered the miso glazed seabass and she loved it. I stole her bok choy and that made me very happy. The restaurant is really clean with a laid back contemporary vibe and great music. The AC at our first table was blasting cold air right on us and the staff moved us right away with no issue at all. They were also incredibly kind to my youngest whose birthday we were celebrating. They surprised her with her favorite tiramisu and a candle which completely made her night. Great food, great service, great atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I've been to Eight4Nine countless times over the years for both business meetings and date nights,…read moreand it continues to impress. One of the reasons I keep coming back is the availability of private dining rooms that are conveniently located near the main dining area. If you're planning a group dinner meeting, just be aware that the sliding doors don't completely block out the noise from the dining room, so conversations may not be as secluded as you'd expect. That said, the food is consistently outstanding. The heirloom tomato salad is an absolute must-order. The crème fraîche dressing is incredible. Pro tip: save some bread to soak up every last bit of it. For the main course, the mesquite-smoked carne asada is exceptional. The meat is cooked perfectly, and the combination of pinto beans, ranchera sauce, and slightly sweet corn pudding creates a balanced and memorable dish. The portions are thoughtfully sized! Satisfying without leaving you feeling overly full. And whatever you do, don't skip dessert. They're all worth trying, but the macchiato cake is the standout and the perfect way to end the meal. Whether you're meeting clients, celebrating a special occasion, or simply enjoying a night out, Eight4Nine delivers excellent food, a welcoming atmosphere, and a dining experience that keeps me coming back.

Our server was wonderful, he was attentive all night and had a great positive attitude. Three of us ordered the sea bass which was absolutely amazing. Full of flavor, and a delicious sauce to go with the meal. One person ordered the fried chicken, and she felt the chicken was pretty flavorless but the side was good. A couple girls ordered the carne asada, and really enjoyed that as well. I'd say the biggest miss for our group was with the drinks. One gal ordered a vodka soda with lots of lemons. She recieved a literal glass of vodka, full, with a whole bottle of sparkling water on the side. This was so odd, but we're not the type to send things back so she went with it. Another lady ordered the manhattan and the server noticed immediately that it didn't look quite right, and had that fixed. It had come with an orange slice and no vermouth originally. I ordered the cucumber cocktail and that was decent. A few others ordered cocktails that they enjoyed. I'd definitely be back as it was a fun place with great service, and my dish was excellent.

He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and always seemed to appear at just the right moment. The teamwork between the staff was seamless.

But it filled up quickly and is definitely a regular spot for a lot of locals. Great to see as that meant we were in a good spot. Ordered the beet salad first and that was outstanding. Good freshness and portion size. Ordered the 6 piece wings. Server was kind of enough to serve them dry with all the sauces on the side. That was great to try all the sauces which were all good. We then ordered the chicken sandwich and fries. Sandwich was great. Fries could have been seasoned a bit more. Plenty of drink options. We enjoyed all we had. Would definitely go back on our next visit to Palm Desert.

Attentive, warm, professional, and perfectly paced from beginning to end. It's rare to leave a restaurant feeling that every part of the evening exceeded expectations, but Spencer's did exactly that. Seriously, 10 out of 10. We'll absolutely be back.

Where else can you find these 3 destinations all in one place and in the desert? A beautiful restaurant with jaw dropping views of the San Jacinto Mountains (sometimes even snow covered), throw in the weather in Palm Springs (a dry 112 degrees), watch world class surfers and aspiring surfers riding the waves, or taking surf lessons, along with patrons floating on the lazy river past the restaurant's patio. Our women's group, the Palm Springs Sunshine Sisters, have had several events on the restaurant's patio. It's a huge patio with super comfortable seating set up in various different ways. There is also a private large room indoors for private parties. The patio has misters for those famously warm desert days. The food is always delicious and changes from time to time. The servers are attentive to their customers and good at suggesting tasty items to try off of their unique menu. They also have music and a Sunday brunch on the weekends, along with a beautiful new outdoor concert venue to the left of the restaurant. Bring your visiting guests to this destination. A lot of fun memories will be made here. Or make this your new destination when you visit Palm Springs, and the Coachella Valley. This place will blow you away!

Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing. When we arrived, we found that many of the items and dishes shown online were not actually available on the menu.

Because of this, we ultimately decided not to stay and chose to leave without dining.
