We hired Eight4Nine to cater a private party we hosted at our home. From the very beginning emailing and connecting with owner/ chef Willie , I somehow knew we were in very professional hands. The food was superb - the staff and team so professional. They took amazing care in our home and of our guest. 10's across the board. We tend to be " very detail" oriented and this team exceeded our expectations. Can't wait for our next party ! Thank you. read more

It is always a pleasure to dine at Eight4Nine. The staff are amazing and beautiful. Service is fantastic. The food is always top shelf. You can't go wrong here. The building is large, bright, and nicely decorated. Its history is interesting. I was told that first it was the US Post Office. Then a furniture store. For the last ten-plus years, it has been Eight4Nine. Tonight, I started with the Ahi Tuna Poke. It was really fresh with a nice blend of Asian flavors. Nicely chilled, it was perfect for a hot night. My entree was the delicious Carne Asada. The skirt steak was sliced thin and it had a smokey hardwood grilled flavor to it. The refried pinto beans were a nice complement to the meal. My wine, a Chenin Blanc was crisp and fruity also perfect for a hot weather night. Eight4Nine is a great addition to the many delicious restaurants in Palm Springs. read more

Kitsch-Luxe would be an appropriate description of the interior. Pleasing to the eye, a bit dated, it may not fit everyone's aesthetic. But, fun nonetheless. A vibrant scene. The bread was killer.......... The owner seems to be a nice person and has a successful unique spot. Worth the trip for the presentation. read more

My wife and I dined at 849 for Easter Brunch and were sorely disappointed - sorely disappointed. We spent nearly $200 on 2 x adult prix fixe brunches ($130) and 1 x child prix fixe ($32) + tax + gratuity. If i can deter at least 50 other prospective guests from eating here, then what we paid will have been worth it to me. Separately, if you think i am being harsh, read the other 1 star reviews of guest experiences at 849. Pros: the staff and management were accommodating. We had an outdoor seat and they allowed us to sit inside because it was hot on the patio even with the misters. Also, the restaurant is nicely appointed, the ambiance is nice, and very "palm springs." Right up our alley. Cons: My lunch consisted of a 4 oz Spring mix salad with tarragon dressing. At best my salad, even by PS standards, was worth $10. My entree was a Steelhead Trout Nicoise with a decent serving of olives, potatoes, green beans and capers. At best, it was worth $25 to $30 compared to Nicoise salads I have enjoyed in Napa, San Francisco, Old Town Alexandria, and France. To round off brunch, i had the strawberry shortcake with Chantilly cream and 4 strawberries. Clearly, the strawberry shortcake was either made last night and left in the fridge overnight or it was made earlier this morning and in the fridge since then. Either way, the shortcake was flavorless and cold. At best, this was worth $12.00 My wife's lunch consisted of a watermelon gazpacho that was, at best worth, $12.00. She had their renowned 1/3 Angus burger with all the fixings and a side of fries. At best, her hamburger is worth $25. Then she had mocha cake with buttercream frosting. At best the cake was worth $12.00. It too appeared to be made earlier in the day or the day prior. My son's lunch consisted of a cinnamon roll that was, at best, worth $10.00. If you know of a cinnamon roll that's worth more, let me know. Then he had 2 monster pancakes that even the best logger in the world could not finish. Regardless, the pancakes were at best worth $20.00. He then concluded his meal with 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream/Gelato, worth about $8.00. I get this is Palm Springs, CA, and i get this is Easter Weekend, but we have been visiting PS regularly since 2010 have dined at restaurants such the Edge, The Front Porch, Desert Moon, Roy's, Tommy Bahamas, and The Farm, so we are well aware of what restaurants are charging. I have ZERO qualms spending $300, $400, or even $500 for a decent brunch for 3 guests. But, i do take umbrage with getting raked over the coals for Easter Brunch. This brunch was at best worth $100.00 even on Easter. Sure, I'll pay the $175 this time, but it's going to come at a price. And, yes, I will be reaching out to you, Willie. read more

Surprised this place doesn't have 5.0 rating. When we went we had a cute weekend with our daughter so we were pleased that they had mocktails. Then we found out our server Debbie (who was amazing by the way) was sober. She told us her sobriety date which was exact same as my moms! Just thought that was so neat. Love the inside decor and the fact that it is in the dessert makes it even better. We love palm springs and visit every year from San Diego. Can't wait to come here later this year and see what's new with 849! read more

I had been waiting to go to this restaurant for months. The price point is high so I wanted to save it for a special occasion so we waited to go for my birthday this year. I will say the ambience is amazing sitting outside. It was very nice and the service was great as well as our server was very friendly and professional. Also having the lights around outside, made it very calming. Although the service and ambience was great the food was lacking. There isn't a lot of options on the menu so it was hard to make a choice, but we went with the Carne Asada plate and the ravioli. Both my boyfriend and I once we ate our food, we were not satisfied and we actually had to go get more food because of the portion was so small for him. He needed extra. I was also not happy with the ravioli. It had an odd taste and was not very impressed. I don't think we'll be back here again, but it was good to try it out, but I'll stick with some of my other favorite restaurants in Palm Springs such as sand fish. read more

Super cute ambiance with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Nice menu with options for everyone. 3 stars for food and service. The food was extremely bland (burger, veggie burger, and ahi). Service seemed very jumbled. It was not a busy night. Good place for a cocktail or glass of wine; not so much for a sit down dinner. read more

This is a 5+++++ review! I rented one of the rooms for a corporate function, and the entire experience was exceptional from start to finish. The team was incredibly easy to work with and completely accommodating throughout the planning process. When we arrived, the tables were beautifully decorated and everything was perfectly set up. The staff was absolutely wonderful and professional. Lynn and Delia were hands down the best servers -- they truly made the evening special for both me and my guests. They went above and beyond in every way. When we were running out of time, they even helped us stuff gift boxes. They rearranged the room multiple times without hesitation and tracked down a USB cord for us -- none of which was technically their responsibility, but they did whatever we needed with a smile. The food was outstanding. The ahi appetizer was my personal favorite, though many of my guests raved about the Reuben (not usually my thing). The fried bacon with maple syrup was pure perfection. The Chicken Milanese was absolutely to die for -- the beurre blanc cream sauce was rich and flavorful, and the capers added the perfect finishing touch. And dessert... the 849 caramel macchiato cake was incredible -- light, airy, and completely delicious. We attend this conference every year, and after this experience, we will absolutely be back. My guests were blown away by the venue, the food, and especially the service. Lynn and Delia -- we'll see you next time! read more

"Amazing experience from start to finish! The food, the atmosphere, and every member of the team. From the host to the servers and even the owner John and his sister Ruby were all top-notch.

Eight4Nine is located right in downtown Palm Springs and has a large outdoor patio that's heated, dog-friendly, and able to accommodate larger groups. We had our dogs with us and were seated outside right away by the GM (possibly the owner), who was welcoming and attentive. When our heater didn't work, he quickly replaced it and checked back in when it looked like our server hadn't arrived yet (he had and was just grabbing our drinks). There's also an indoor dining option upstairs that feels quiet and removed from the street. Service here is on the slower side, which we noticed throughout the patio, not just at our table. It didn't feel inattentive so much as unhurried, like the restaurant encourages you to settle in and enjoy the evening rather than rush through a meal. Our server was friendly, made a few jokes, and kept things light, even if we didn't see him often. We started with the corn and crab chowder, though the menu description was confusing regarding the crab. The entree is where things fell a bit flat for me. I ordered the bucatini and found the fennel overpowering. I only ate about a quarter of it, which was disappointing since this was my birthday dinner. My husband agreed (and that's saying something since he's a human garbage disposal). His skirt steak was well seasoned, and the corn pudding was the standout - smooth, lightly sweet, and well balanced. Overall, a pleasant atmosphere and smooth teamwork from the staff. Wonderfully presented birthday dessert. read more

I chose this spot specifically for their Thanksgiving menu--I was really excited to have duck for the holiday. The restaurant was packed, and it's a pretty large place, so even though we arrived right on time, we still waited about 15 minutes to be seated. Service felt off from the start. Our server was MIA for long stretches, and there were unusually long gaps between courses. Once we finished our meal, we waited at least 30 minutes before he checked on us, and then even longer to receive the bill. For the price of the fixed menu, it just didn't feel worth it. The flavors were decent but nothing memorable, and the dishes didn't taste particularly fresh. Overall, it was an okay meal, but it left us feeling underwhelmed. read more

This is such a cute place! We loved the art work on the walls and the fact that they had purse trees/hangers to place your purse during your visit. The Chilaquiles were delicious. I loved the flavor, but there was not enough spice for me. They were not soggy, but not crunchy either. I guess a good place in the middle. Short rib hash was absolutely delicious. Great flavor. Kind of sweet. Perfectly poached egg. This place has generous portions when it comes to their food. Even the labneh was huge and filling. The mimosa came with two refills which was also an amazing deal. I'd definitely recommend this place for a fun little brunch read more

Set up a bachelorette brunch here in a private room and I was so happy with the space, service, and food! We enjoyed cocktails and mocktails with generously portioned options including French toast, chilaquiles, burger, short rib hash and a Cobb salad.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Eight4Nine catering. We recently held a celebration of life for my late husband with over 100 guests, and their team exceeded every expectation. From start to finish, the staff was both professional and incredibly gracious to all of our guests. Their kindness and attentiveness did not go unnoticed and made such a meaningful difference on an emotional day. The bartenders were especially warm and friendly, helping to make the day feel just a little bit easier for everyone. The passed hors d'oeuvres were absolutely delicious and seemed to be never-ending--each one better than the last. And if you are planning an event, I highly recommend the mac and cheese bar--it was a huge favorite among our guests! Everything--from the food to the service--was beyond what we had hoped for. We are so grateful to Eight4Nine for helping make the day exactly what we envisioned. We will absolutely be using them again for future events. read more

Made a reservation here to host my friend's bachelorette party in one of their private rooms and it ended up being the perfect spot. The interior is such a vibe, very Hollywood glamour with a fun, elevated atmosphere. The host, wait staff, and manager were all very friendly and accommodating. We did the summer menu for the group, which included an appetizer, entree, and dessert for $54. Honestly an amazing value for how generous the portions were. I started with the farm glazed carrots which were tender and paired nicely with the hummus. For my entree, I had the braised short rib which was a massive slab of tender meat with asparagus on the side that was equally huge but surprisingly tender. For dessert, I had the lemon lavender creme brulee which was too sweet for my taste. The top sugar layer was too thick and I couldn't really taste the lemon. Would absolutely recommend this spot if you're hosting a private party. read more

Mom and I had lunch here today and it was much better than the diner we had had before. We loved the hamburger, Brussels sprouts , and the salad. We will most certainly be back.

Not handicap-friendly. Either eat outside, or have to climb some stairs to get inside. No greeting as you get in, it was very busy though for Modernism Week. Decor of course is great and but food is mediocre. Salmon was dry. beef pot pie was NOT a pie and instead was a stew with a large puff pastry in the center. oh at least the Filet mignon was great! read more

We went to Eight4Nine at lunchtime and were delighted by the food, service, and attentiveness. The quality of the restaurant has been consistent ever since we started coming here over 4 years ago. Lunch today was no different. The place is impeccably maintained and many of the staff have been there for years which explains the consistency of the service. The host, Tom Collins (yes, that really is his name, and no, he didn't invent the eponymous cocktail), is always friendly and good humored. I had the ahi tuna poke bowl which was beautifully presented and way more sumptuous for lunch than needed. But every bite was fresh and delightful. My wife had the chile relleno that was well presented and delicious, though again quite big. The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant and very much reflects the mid-century Palm Springs vibe. Eight4Nine is a great value for money. Though it is not inexpensive, Willie and his team deliver a top-class product. read more

I was excited because of the reviews, but the food was very mediocre. For starters we had the beet and carrot salads, for the mains we had the carne asada and the fried chicken. We had some cocktails as well. Nothing was terrible or bad, but nothing really stood out. Just one note dishes and drinks. Came out to about $100/ person which I thought was outrageous for the quality of the dishes. Service was good though. Inside felt a little warm and the air felt stale, but we were sat outside thank God. Meh! read more

The lobster mac n cheese & lobster roll were the initial impetus for us choosing this chic restaurant after a quick hike nearby, however, I didn't realize there's a special brunch menu (not including lobster) on Sundays...womp womp. So instead, we landed on Pom-tinis, florentine Benedicts, caramel macchiato cake & the 849 Fizz. The cocktails were definitely the star (after the initial let-down of no lobster). The Benedict's gave a different vibe with the polenta cake (but I guess this is a lower-carb, gluten free alternative...or so I was told). The potatoes were probably the crispiest, yet soft on the inside, best potatoes I've had in a while. The 849 Fizz was on the main menu in red font, double the size of everything else so we had to try. We're decidedly happy, light weights 2 drinks in;) We have to come back (not just for the lobster) but also for the fondue dessert. We opted for the caramel macchiato cake and had mixed feelings. The whipped cream tasted fresh & refreshingly rich, the actual cake was tasty but needed the homemade-feeling whipped cream and caramel to make it sparkle, while the cake frosting was well...not up to par. (My friend said she thinks the frosting was previously frozen.) Nonetheless, I luv the fact that the host's nails were immaculate & gave me instant nail-inspo & I think either the manager or owner checked on us a couple of times to make sure that we were good. The decor also motivated me to add more purple to my already magenta-hued living room. There's several beautiful meeting rooms or larger dinner spaces for events...but sadly lacking color (except for the photo of Whoopi over the women's restroom toilet that makes weird sounds;). read more

Went here for brunch as part of my girlfriend's bachelorette party and OMG.... i love the atmosphere AND the food! Definitely recommend the cinnamon roll basket because the mascarpone cream is made with real vanilla and the berries makes it have such a nice touch that doesn't make it too sweet. In addition, i LOVED the shrooms and asparagus french omelet we ordered too which had the yummiest type of cheese that is whipped but I do recognize the taste from grocery stores. I will say the servers were a bit slow and maybe not as cheerful or hospitable.... except the host at the front - he was incredibly funny! But I definitely would come back! read more

We just got home from one of our consistently favorite restaurants, Eight4Nine in Palm Springs. The food is delicious, service great and prices still remain within reason (vs many other restaurants that have become outrageously expensive).

Highly recommend! read more
