    Ice coffee a nice pick me up

    A real stay in town staycation hotel & their Palanco Kitchen restaurant for breakfast is so delicious with very nice waiters/waitresses and town staycation hotel also love their bar menu for late night dinners a great experience

    The butter came frozen... But bread was great

    The food was pretty good, but the service really took away from the dining experience. We came here for Christmas dinner because they had advertised some special dishes. We ordered both of the specials (prime rib and salmon salad) and were excited. However, it seems that there were only like 2 waiters taking care of about 15 tables on one of the busiest holidays. Needless to say, service was SLOW. We waited over an hour for our food to come, but when it finall came, it was very good! I enjoyed the Seafood platter appetizer, basically a mix of seafood (salmon, shrimp, maybe some scallops) as a dip that you eat with chips. The seafood felt really fresh and there was a kick of jalapeno that rounded out the whole dish. The salmon salad was a special for Christmas. I really hope they put it on the menu because it was excellent! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the salad was great; the craisins and toasted pine nuts along with the sweet dressing turnes kale and some other mixed greens into a fantastic dish. The flat iron steak was also great. It was perfectly cooked, and really tender. It was seasoned well without being too salty, and it worked really well with my salad too ;). Overall, I really really enjoyed the food and it's nice to have a restaurant like this so conveniently placed in the hotel. However, I was disappointed with the lack of service, especially on a day that is expectedly busy. I would want to give a higher rating, but the poor service took too much away from the experience.

    Delicious flat iron steak and great service. Calamari was meh but hubby liked his flatbread and kids loved their burger!

    Bad angle but it really was grey not pink.

    This place was not good. I ordered their $28 New York strip steak, medium rare but on the rare side and the first one showed up burnt all the way through, the second took about 25 minutes to arrive so I was sure it should be just the same. I was wrong it looked too have been frozen when placed on the grill, it was past well done all the way through except for about a 1/4 inch in the very center that was still ice cold. The mashed potatoes were a pile of yellow, oily flavorless mush work lumps in it like instant potatoes made with cold water. The veggies were ok but the whole plate was a soup of yellow oil. The calamari appetizer was actually really good as well as the French fries on my kids plate, my wife's fish and chips were ok also. It appears as though their fry chef is on top of his game. The waitress was actually great and I feel bad for her having to deal with the chefs ( I use the term loosely) disaster. I would never recommend this place.

    Even during the week this place gets pretty busy. That…read morealways means one thing, they must be good. We stopped by Monday morning not too long after they opened. Patio seating was pretty much all opened when we arrived which the inside was pretty much utilized. We had a big group which they could seat us right away. The place outside did pick up pretty fast after we got seated. Even for a place that's only open for a limited time daily, it does gets a good crowd. Service is alway great when we visit. From the hostess to the waiter and all the staff. Also the main attraction, the food. I think we were pretty much a little bit off on the alcohol from the night before...lol... But food, that's what it's all about. They do have a really good menu for breakfast and brunch. If breakfast is what you're carving, there's a good amount of dishes. Same as lunches. A Bloody Mary was ordered and that was quite nice. Accompanied by a slice of bacon and the trimmings, olives, peppercini and gherkin. As for food, a bit of everything was ordered. Breakfast comes with whatever you order and a side of something with toast. The steak omelette was quite nice with a good amount of chunks of steaks. That was served with whatever side which tater tots was a win win and toast. Also a slice of pancakes on the sides. The salmon toast with eggs any style was nice too. All their breakfast is quite tasty and pretty filling. Each meals we've had here has alway been great. All the times we've been, it's always been breakfast that was had. Keep saying that we need to try their lunch items as it sounds good but tend to always lean toward breakfast. Give us another reason to come back.

    For our brunch while on a desert trip, we checked out this place as the menu seemed fun, parking…read moreseemed friendly, and overall had the vibe we enjoy. Our overall experience was lacking in almost every way. We were seated outside, and this was bad. The only available table was on the side by the street, and we were in full blast range for the wind and the sound of their outdoor AC. I can't put it to words how this impacted our overall meal, and the immediate regret we felt. Their indoor seating was also not going to be possible for us because of just how loud it was. Our server took our food and drink order right away, but she never checked in on us after the drop off. I ordered the Irish iced coffee, looking forward to getting a nice treat drink. I ended up getting just a regular iced coffee, and unfortunately I had no chance to try and flag anyone down to get this sorted out since we were never checked on once the items were delivered. This includes the waters we ordered for the table as well. The only good thing about this was that I was only charged for an iced coffee. The eggs Benedict were simply "ok" and rather unremarkable. They arrived just above room temperature and while they weren't bad, they weren't great either. The sandwich was fine, but the home fries were over seasoned by far and had way too much salt. Overall, this was a disappointing brunch. Unless they really look into the quality of the food, the lack of table service, and their terrible side dining area by their outdoor AC, I can say we have no plans on returning.

I've been getting a little fed up with relying on Google recommendations lately. You'll see places with 5,000+ reviews and almost five stars, then you actually go there and the food is a huge disappointment. FARM was one of those places where the food actually lived up to the reviews and the hype. I ordered the Spanish Migas with a side of potatoes and a small French press. The Migas were perfectly cooked, and the spice level was just right. You could taste each ingredient separately, and the salsa was really good too. The potatoes were probably one of my favorite parts--crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The coffee was great as well. My server, Carol R., was very attentive and kept checking on me throughout the meal. She even double-checked the name and receipt, which I appreciated because she was clearly paying attention to the details and making sure everything was correct. The atmosphere is really nice too. It actually feels like you're sitting on a farm, which makes the whole brunch experience feel special. And considering the portion size, quality of the food, and how popular this place is, I thought the price was very reasonable. This place actually met my expectations, which has been rare lately. If you're in Palm Springs and looking for a good brunch spot, I'd definitely recommend FARM. I just wish I had found this place sooner!

I ended up using the app for check out anyways and the hotel sent me an email thanking me for my stay overall, be prepared to walk a ways to the rooms, and if I wasnt at a conference I definelty wouldnt pay those prices to stay here.
