Anyone who knows Palm Springs should know how special Copley's is. It has long been one of my favorite haunts in town. There's something quintessentially Old Hollywood about it--elegant without being stuffy, polished without trying too hard. The food is consistently excellent, the service is impeccable, and the atmosphere simply nails what Palm Springs does best: relaxed sophistication with a little history and glamour woven in. One of those places I'm always happy to return to, and one I recommend without hesitation. read more

I live in Los Angeles now, but grew up in San Diego and during that time we had a house out in Indian Wells so I used to visit the desert often. One of our favorite dinner options was Copley's back then and it still is today. It was great to see that the quality is still great along with the service. I would classify it as more of a date or romantic spot than anything else and they have indoor and outdoor seating options. Outdoor is in a really pretty courtyard, which is really great during the cooler months. There is a small free parking lot attached in front. Otherwise free street parking is also easy to find. Our server was extremely polite and very attentive with the drink refills. The menu is also pretty large and one thing I love about it is that it always has seasonal options. For this visit, I started off with the Chilled Lobster and Shrimp Ceviche which was a wonderful start to the meal and a real great choice for such a hot evening. For dinner I chose the Chicken Schnitzel and really enjoyed it. The goat cheese mashed potatoes were very unique and the chicken was cooked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this place for a great date option and plan to be back again many times in the future. read more

We went during restaurant week, on at Saturday night at 8:30p. The Prefix menu was 3 courses for $59 and looked good. We have enjoyed Copley's on past visits and the service was alway excellent but the service was def off. I was not sure if it was due to the kitchen being in the weeds (would seem off given the prefix menu) or if the front of house was short staff but the cadence was way off, everyone seemed to be rushing and the table next to us had their food brought out in the incorrect order for the large group there. For us service was slow but they got it done. The drinks were excellent! As for the courses 1: Lobster Mac and cheese very good Beet salad very good 2: We both went with the pork chop but it was very fatty, came with a very bland polenta and was served on a mound of spinach so large Popeye would have only finished half. We regretted not going for the Chicken Schnitzel for sure as the waiter recommended! 3: Desert as always was excellent we did the duo of apple strudel and mousse really the best part of the meal. Def will go back but hate to see such a consistent restaurant struggle when they had a limited menu that should have made the evening an easy win. read more

We dined tonight at Copley's during Restaurant Week here in Palm Springs. Copley's is both upscale and casual, with a romantic patio featuring desert plants, a fire-pit, and mountain views under the stars. The building was originally the guesthouse/pool house of Cary Grant. The outdoor courtyard used to be the pool area for the estate. The restaurant opened here in December 2004. The Restaurant Week three-course menu offered a variety of options for each course. Our group each ordered the Copley's Caesar Salad consisting of romaine hearts tossed in house-made Caesar dressing, topped with shaved Parmesan and anchovy's (for Ernie and me). The surprise was the pineapple croutons -- chunks of fresh pineapple coated in a mixture of corn flour, rice flour, cornmeal, and paprika. The coated pineapple is then fried until golden brown and used as a unique topping for a Caesar salad. Amazing. As for entrees, three of us ordered the Crispy Chicken Schnitzel and one ordered the Barramndi. Both were outstanding. Finally our table tried both dessert course options, the apple streusel and chocolate duo and the toffee and date English sticky pudding. Yum. Service was spot on, lead by our adorable waiter Eric and the other staff who were friendly and attentive. read more

I dine at Copley's every time I visit P.S. The food is always piping hot and delicious and the servers really know how to time the arrival of each course. The outdoor seating under large, beautiful trees is mesmerizing. I started with the Greek salad. The portion was perfect for one - not too filling. It came with grilled octopus, spiced mango and spiced feta. The oregano dressing was really the hit of this dish, sweet yet earthy. I'd love to have the recipe. My main course was the seafood fettuccini. It was lightly covered in a Romesco sauce (red pepper sauce that is Smokey and nutty) but it was a little too light for my liking. Not enough bite! However, the fresh octopus, salmon and jumbo shrimp were hot and tender. The noodles were cooked perfectly. Despite my disappointment with the sauce this dish was still a "10" no doubt. My friend ordered the pork chop. It was tender, delicious and cooked perfectly. Definitely see the photos. Copley's cannot get better than it already is. BTW our dinner bill was the lowest since we've been in town. read more

Dinner at Copley's was one of those rare Palm Springs nights where everything just... worked. Atmosphere-wise, the entrance alone gives you that tucked-away garden energy--intimate, slightly romantic, but still social. It feels like you found something, not like you followed a crowd. First off--no reservation, and still got seated on a Sunday. That alone deserves a moment, because if you know the scene here, that's practically a small miracle. It set the tone immediately: welcoming, unpretentious, but still very much elevated. Service was sharp without being stiff. Attentive, intuitive, and paced exactly right. No hovering, no disappearing act--just that effortless flow you want when you're out to enjoy yourself. They accommodated my request at the bar for a spicy non alcoholic lemonade and upon bringing it over compliments the drink saying " this looks good, you're on to something " #delicious Now the food. Visually, every plate came out composed like it knew it was being watched. The seared tuna was the standout and my personal choice. It also happened to be the special that evening. Perfectly rare, clean cuts, sitting in a rich, glossy sauce that actually complemented instead of overpowering. Balanced, not messy. The braised short rib was deeply comforting--tender, well-executed, with a sauce that leaned classic rather than overly trendy. Smart choice. Dessert sealed it. That dense, lavendercake with the green tea ice cream was indulgent without crossing into heavy. Sweet, but controlled. The kind of finish that makes you slow down instead of regret your life choices. read more

The location is great with easy access and plenty of free parking. The courtyard dining is perfect with tables spaced out for private conversations and quiet.

My elderly parents weren't feeling well and rescheduled a 5:30 Thursday reservation for the following Thursday at 5:30, and were charged $100. There were two tables occupied when we went in, and a handful when we left. OK. Short ribs were good. Potatoes were "smashed" or something, and it was like a cafeteria scoop of potato salad with either lobster or goat cheese mixed in. I don't know what was going on with that creamed spinach, but I would still be chewing it a week later if I didn't spit it out. The restaurant across the street seemed to be rockin. I would go to Spencer's before Copley's again, but that's me! read more

Surprisingly good. The exterior (partial gravel parking lot) doesn't do it any favors but inside is a really nice courtyard and inside dining area. My favorite part of this restaurant is, they have maybe 10-12 entree options and literally almost all of them sounded delicious. Was hard to decide which. Overall, a solid dinner. Bonus points to the server who proactively noticed that the music had become too loud and offered to lower it for us. Bravo. read more

We had the best meal here! The setting was gorgeous and perfect to kick off a birthday weekend. We ordered a ton of food and shared for the table and it was a verifiable feast. Our server was seasoned, on pointe and ready whenever necessary to deliver a great experience. The whole meal was a beautiful dining experience that left us full, happy, and satiated. I should have wrote this sooner so I remember the dishes we loved but the experience as a whole was a great place to enjoy and celebratory dinner. The salmon, the Cesar, the steak, the pork chop - all delicious! read more

Amazing Restaurant Week Prix Fixe dinner, 5/30/26. Our appetizer w the Ahi Tacos and the Beet Salad. Taco were the best tasting I've ever had....beet salad was outstanding as well. Our mains were the Salmon on a bed lobster mashed potatoes with huge chunks of lobster. My husband had the shrimp/fish dish...he throughly enjoyed that. Our waiter was very pleasant, EJ/RJ or something like that. The pace of our evening was perfectly timed...very relaxing and unrushed. Special mention of the hostess this evening. Very pleasant...and when seating...gave us and others the option of two different tables. I like that. She did this a number of times while seating customers...I could see and actually heard her. We were seated on the north side patio near the small fountain...so I could see and hear everything. We're new to the area...and we'll definitely be back! read more

Solid 5! Located close to the heart of Palm Springs. Easy parking in a dedicated parking lot. Charming venue. Wonderful menu selection with options for everyone. Delicious food. Outstanding service! My group of three visited on a Tuesday evening. When we arrived, it was light outside. By the time we left, it was dark and the beautiful twinkle lights lit up the expansive outdoor dining area, making it look magical. Dogs are allowed on the patio. :) Since it was hot during our visit, we chose to sit inside. The indoor dining area was a bit smaller, but simple and charming. The vibe was relaxed and social. There were several groups celebrating special occasions. Some dressed in semi-formal attire. We selected the Pot Stickers, Manhattan Steak, 2 Beet Salads, the Sesame Seed Crusted Tofu, the Ahi Special. Everything came out in the proper order and in a timely matter. Our food was artistically plated and in good portion. The steak was generously sized looking larger than stated on the menu. The sauces, flavors and textures of everything was incredibly delicious! Our server, Raymond B., was exceptional. He was polite, friendly and perfectly attentive, not annoyingly attentive as some can be. Pricing was reasonable for the quality of food and service we received. Thank you Raymond B. and the entire Copleys' team! read more

Absolutely top notch service, and some of the best tasting food that we've had anywhere. To have such incredible food and yet be so humble as to treat everybody so well, it's truly the Mark of a great restaurant. Also, the prices were very reasonable for what you get. The pork chop was delicious. The duck was incredibly succulent. Fantastic homemade bread and ice cream. Definitely one of our new favorite places anywhere! read more

Polite, friendly, helpful. Every drink and dish we ordered from appetizers to dessert was just amazing!! The presentation, the taste and the portion were big! So unexpected from an upscale restaurant to have big portions. If you haven't been to this place, you must go! read more

A Palm Springs landmark restaurant with an unmatchable vibe! If you visit Palm Springs, then a reservation at Copley's is almost a mandatory requirement because it is the epitome of the restaurant scene here. Food (4.5/5) Expect New American cuisine when dining here. There are some daily specials, but the menu items have remained the same for years and are still delicious. Mandatory orders at this restaurant include the bread and butter for two, Copleys Caesar salad, and the New York steak. One of the most famous menu items at this restaurant is the Copleys Caesar salad because instead of regular bread croutons, the restaurant uses pan fried pineapple chunks as the replacement for the bread croutons. The combination breaks the conventional barriers of a traditional Caesar salad and is one of their more creative items to order (do not miss out on this!) The New York steak is also a solid choice here for a hearty meal and the caramelized onions on top pair with the steak perfectly. The truffle Parmesan fries are a little overkill but can be shared generously with the table. The dessert selection is interesting because the chocolate soufflé is more of a molten lava cake than an actual soufflé; yet, the dish itself is not too bad flavor wise. Out of all the items on the dessert menu I'd still order the chocolate soufflé as it was not too heavy compared to the other options. Service (4/5) The service is a little spotty since the restaurant is almost entirely outdoors in a large courtyard. If the restaurant is busy, expect to wait to find your waiter or get a water refill. The workers here are always in a good mood and are knowledgeable of the menu as well. Ambiance (5/5) A truly one of a kind restaurant inside the Cary Grant Estate where diners get incredible views of the San Jacinto mountain range (plan your reservation near sunset for an incredible experience). The old school charm of this restaurant makes for a special occasion as well. Opt out for the limited indoor seating and sit in the outdoor courtyard so you can take advantage of the outdoor views. Limited bar seating is available for people without a reservation, but I HIGHLY recommend making a reservation online as the restaurant is usually fully booked throughout the year. read more

We decided to go Palm Springs for my 70th birthday, so as soon as we braved the 7 hour traffic backup on the 10, we chose Copleys, as it was one of the first places we saw, and had been there before. Maybe I'm old school - or just selfish:-) - but I actually thought that mentioning it was my 70th bday would mean...well, something. Tall, balding waiter said, "uh huh, what do you want to drink?." Hmm. The gal who actually took our order was sweet, professional and really competent. The ceviche was delightful, as was the caesar salad! The lamb chops...we waited...and waited...until it was just too long. Waitress apologized, and we left. They were gracious enough to take the lamb chops off our bill and pack it up for our drive to our hotel and I did eat it there. Certainly not a 70 th bday treat, this restaurant! BUT those lamb chops were great. Maybe the owner just takes too much for granted, or maybe as an older woman I'm just not important enough. (The female servers however we just wonderful - maybe teach the owner and tall bald guy a thing or two:-) hahaha read more

We wanted to love it, we really did. But, while we get that it's historical... and the wait staff were all very attentive, the food was not spectacular. We had the ahi tacos.., and they were good, but the ahi was too mixed in with the other ingredients. It would have been nice to have some lovely thin slices of seared ahi instead of how it was presented. I ordered the duck. And the duck itself was nicely cooked, however all the things that went with it was a melange that didn't completely work. Mushrooms, pickled cabbage, blue berries, spinach and butternut squash? It was confusing. It was trying too hard to be cutting edge and kinda failed. Views were okay, but the court yard felt a little tired. With how dialed in Palm Springs is, even though it's a vintage place, it still needs a redo. It's resting on its laurels. And these days, it's needs a little more cultivated effort. We were originally going to stay for desert, but decided to go elsewhere. read more

Ambiance: 5/5 Service: 4/5 Food: 5/5 Went here a few weeks ago to celebrate my birthday with my mom. We requested inside and there seemed to be some confusion for a bit over who was supposed to be serving us. After about 12 minutes I started to nervous. My mom (she's older) doesn't tolerate inattentive service. Her threshold is lower than mine and it can become a focal point, which I really didn't want to deal with. However, once they figured it out, the server who took responsibility for us was a real gem and completely eliminated the attentiveness problem. Questions answered before I asked, water refilled without any intervention, second rounds offered in time to avoid delay. The food was delicious. It's been a few weeks since we were there, and I honestly don't remember everything we ordered, but I do remember that it was great. If you're driving, just know that the parking lot out front is more of a pickup/dropoff zone. There is a giant vacant lot next door, but access is off Belardo north of Chino (which is not intuitive). The lot is sand, so dusty on cars and shoes. Note that Copley's website indicates this is private property and they don't reccommend parking there. I found parking on Chino and there is also the paved city lot behind Our Lady of Solitude right there. Just leave a few extra minutes if you do drive. read more

First, the ambience under the stars in Palm Springs makes you feel incredibly relaxed. The cocktails were handcrafted and tasted superb.

We had a fantastic server who provided great insights. read more

Copley's is a beautiful restaurant with a spacious outside, great hosts.. and lack luster bar service. I asked the bartender for a spare wine glass, and he could not be bothered to provide me a glass and said he would put in an order for a glass.

We may or may not have made a trip to Palm Springs JUST to dine at Copley's on July 10th before their summer break. The food, service, and atmosphere are all 10/10. This was our first time ordering the chicken and lemongrass potstickers and it won't be our last. It comes with 4 pieces- perfect for 2 to split. I usually would order a fish dish but I opted for the lamb this time and it was INCREDIBLE. I'm a big fan. We sat inside since it was simply too hot to be outside, and the ambience was honestly just as romantic and cozy. I can't wait for Copley's to reopen at the end of August! read more

Let me tell you. I'm the Queen of research. I looked all over where to go, bookmarked places, visited other restaurants and then came to Copleys. Come. The views, the atmosphere, the servers, the drinks.... Should I keep going??? I came solo dining and was so happy this is where I netted out. Their salads are out of this world, variety on the menu. Sit outside if you can. That's where it's at. Also Chad is amazing and if he is working sit in his section. read more

We sat outside and we were seated immediately with no reservation. Nice outdoor centerpiece with flaming heaters thru-out. We shared a Beet Salad and a bottle of Rombauer Merlot. Main courses were Dble Cut pork chop and short ribs. Pork chop was unfortunately,a little undercooked. It came w spinach/pancetta and with the short ribs order we had fries & green beans .

The menu had a good variety and we decided to order the prosciutto, melon, kiwi salad, prime NY steak and the short rib dinner special. The steak was cooked to perfection and really loved the sauce and caramelized onions on top. The truffle parm fries were the best I've had!

It's always nice as a vegetarian to look at a menu at a high-end restaurant and find that there are not only two possible main dishes, but neither of them are pasta. I had a delicious dinner with seasonal vegetables, satiating portions, and tasty sauce. The view of the mountains was beautiful, with the sun setting. I think the outdoor seating is better than indoor for the mountain view, fountain, trees, and ambiance. You might thank yourself for bringing a light sweater because the wind comes cold. I will say that even though this was fine dining, the prices were not as high as one might expect. I had a full glass of sparkling wine from France for $13. Service is very helpful, and slightly sassy. read more

Copleys is a contemporary American restaurant housed in Cary Grant's old estate. The outdoor garden is beautiful and definitely where you want to make your reservation. We didn't know and we made our reservation for inside where the atmosphere isn't quite as magical. We split their Caesar Salad, but I wasn't a fan of the pineapple croutons. It added a strange element to the dish. For our mains we had the Organic Chicken Schnitzel, which you can't go wrong with, and the Fresh Seafood Fettuccine in a romesco sauce. Portions are huge and we took home leftovers. Dining here is a special experience, but you could even pop in for a glass from their extensive wine list. read more

3.45367 stars My family and I have made our rounds through the Palm Springs restaurant loop, so it was only natural we'd find ourselves at Copleys. The outdoor dining is gorg except the night we dined here, part of it was closed off for a private event, so it was only medium gorg. As with the space, we could only experience some of the menu - they literally ran out of everything meat related - the steak and meat special. It was rather disappointing. We started with the chicken & lemongrass potstickers ($18). The potstickers are stuffed with caramelized fennel ginger + onions, pickled mushrooms + miso on top of a sweet soy sauce + bacon dressing topped with crushed wasabi peas. These were Asiany in flavor, but there was nothing particularly memorable about them except that the wrapper to filling ratio was pretty good. You get 4 for $15 which is a little pricey, but I get it because Copley's is supposed to be fancy. I ordered the Roasted Australian Barramundi ($37). The fish sits on a bed of herb scented farro, asparagus tips, smokey romesco sauce, roasted tomatoes, basil pine nut mint + cilantro pesto. Description wise, there are a lot of flavors, however, the most distinct was the smokey romesco sauce which was an okay good pairing with the fish. Again, there was nothing memorable about my fish except that it was a very nice entree in a very nice restaurant. Copley's was a nice dining experience for both myself and my family, but it's not the kind of place I'd dine at again. read more

This historic spot was a must dine when I was in Palm Springs. This restaurant sits on a for Cary Grants guest quarters. While I was told there's no remnants left of Cary grants home, it's still cool to be on his former property. We dined outside. But the decor is very cool if u decide to dine inside. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable. We started at app and drinks. They make a very good filthy martini. If you do t like olives, they have a sweet martini that is just as delicious. The menu is spendy. So several of us shared items and some ate an app for their entree. I splurged and had the beet salad and the barramundi. Forgot to take a pic. It was beautifully plated and delicious. The portions are small. They have gf and vegetarian options. The ladies restroom was very cute. Gotta check it. There may be more newer, less expensive restaurants, but just like Cary Grant it's a classic and worth it. read more
