Rare beef and French fries. Yummy.
Kelly D.

I love Willie's. He does happy hour right. The bar fills up early but the last time we were there it was later I think we were the last customers. We ordered and got drinks. The house blanco is very nice. I had the steak fritte rare and it was perfect. My friend had the fish and chips. Can't go wrong with fish and chips. We chatted with the beautiful bar tender and vowed to sit at the bar the next time we come. The full restaurant menu is available in the bar.

Prime rib
Traci J.

We decided to switch up and tried a new restaurant this trip. Valet guy was super nice even though we came in around back vs off the 111. The hostess brought us to our table, and said she would leave us with the cocktail and wine menus so we could enjoy a drink before ordering. We ordered cocktails and sat and waited and waited. The drinks came, and the waitress finally brought dinner menus. In the meantime, a bus boy brought us a little shopping bag of leftovers, even though it was obvious, we hadn't even eaten yet. Two people ordered the prime rib, one ordered the stroganoff, and the last person ordered the sole. The server took away the funny little charger plates, which served no purpose for anything, and brought out our salads. It took a while for the meals to be brought out, but they first brought two Prime ribs, a New York, and a short rib. We explained that the Prime ribs were correct but the New York and short rib were wrong. The server came back out, we explained the mistake and she had them fire the fish quickly. Meanwhile, the other meals made their way around the kitchen and back out to the dining room. The prime rib was lukewarm, and the gnocchi tasted like the little cast-iron pan, but was actually hot. The stroganoff did not have a lot of meat, and the noodles looked dried up. The fish was hot and was OK. The server comped a martini because of the wait, but it was a dirty martini with way too much olive juice, and not at all what was ordered. Error on the bill and they ended up charging me for both and crediting one. I suppose we could have told the server what was wrong but we just wanted to get out of there.

Front Entry

Jessica our Server is Super Nice, Friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We came here for our 53rd Anniversary, picked the right restaurant in Palm Springs, especially with Restaurant Week going on, Her assistant Geraldo was Superb, always there when you needed water, place settings cleaned up, new utensils, etc. very impressed with his attention to detail.

Edamame pot stickers

Amazing early dinner in the bar at Willie's. We got there at 4:45 and it was packed at 5:00. They did let the line of about 20 in before they opened at 5:00 which was great. We selected a high top table for two. Instantly had water and menus. Served by a delightful server named Yael. Extremely polite attentive with a great smile. I sensed true sincerity. Prime rib sandwich complete with steak fries. We also had Shepards pie. Fur an appetizer we dejected edamame potstickers delicious too add in two cocktails and we finished at 84.58 before tip. My second time at Willie's. It appears go a bit before 5:00 or after 6:45 to be assured a table. *The baked Alaska was from my first visit (not included in the 85.00 tab) Very please food, service and ambiance all perfect.

Beef Tenderloin Tournedos with Blue Cheese crust, asparagus, mashed potatoes
Dahlia S.

Friday evening at Willie's was quite busy. We sat in the Lounge area, a nicely furnished room with colorful modern art on the walls and a generally nice vibe. We ordered from the bar menu and had the Caesar Salad with fresh anchovies, (quite good) Onion Rings, Steak Fries, Brisket Burnt Ends, Wedge Salad, and Beef Tenderloin Tournedos. All were well prepared and good. By far, the best item was the Beef Tenderloin with a Blue Cheese Crust. This was perfectly prepared medium rare as requested. The house wine served, a Pinot Noir, was okay. It was an enjoyable meal! Service was good.

Dinner with friends who recommended Willies. With 6 of us at the table, we asked for a quiet table. They came through with flying colors - we were seated in a private room near the back of the restaurant. NICE!!! Jessica, our server, was in the room soon after we were seated. Very welcoming and very helpful, answering all our questions about the menu. My wife and I decided to share the wedge salad ($18) and the Chicken Ballotine ($34). Because we were sharing, they split the dishes in the kitchen. While presentation loses something when it is split in the kitchen, we really appreciated it because it made sharing easy. Each of the dishes were fantastic. One of our friends ordered the General Tso's Cauliflower as an appetizer. That dish was outstanding!!! When we return, I will definitely be getting that dish. Service was spectacular - more in line with a restaurant with prices twice as high.

The food at Sunday high tea
David C.

We went to the Sunday afternoon tea. It was really great and comparable to any we have had abroad or on cruises. The tea was great in variety and the food was outstanding. Our server was very attentive. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Not inexpensive but well worth it once in a while.

Lounge area cocktail reception

We had our 40th Anniversary Luncheon at Willie's and the entire event was flawless. Before guests arrived we discussed the order and timing of events with Margie and everything worked perfectly. Margie was always around and available if we needed something done. The lounge bartender, lounge hors d'oeuvres servers and the dining room servers did an excellent job. Each table got their food together so no one at a table had to wait and all the servers knew exactly who got what and did not have to ask people what they ordered (I hate when that happens in a good restaurant). At the end of the luncheon as our guests were leaving, many of them commented on how much they enjoyed the hors d'oeuvres, dinners and the efficiency of the staff. We had no stress during the entire event thanks to the very efficient and professional staff. Thank you Willie.

British tea time!!!
Marisol C.

Spent a wonderful afternoon having British style tea, delicious finger sandwiches, tea was delightful and ambiance was extravagant. My beautiful boyfriend brought me for my birthday and I had a wonderful time... price was affordable so anyone can enjoy this unique experience. Why 4 stars... did not like the sweets part( except scones were warm and yummy) but still worth it.

Butternut squash Ravioli
Elliot K.

We loved our time at Willies! My wife said that she thought everything on the menu looked amazing and could come back here time and time again! We sat in the lounge - no reservations allowed as it is first come, first serve. A different menu in the lounge that rocks! Beet salad was very light and very tasty. The ravioli of butternut was yummy however we had to request some bread so that we can taste every drop. The shepherds pie was very good however it is a heavy dish. I would highly recommend the Apple tart as it was delicious! Great service and a very nice vibe. Very relaxing and so worth going again and again.

Fish and Chips...very good and generous portion.

The yogurt, see pics, was unlike any I have ever had and was great. There's was plenty of comfy seating from tables to sofas and also had a semi private room in the back. The servers were fantastic and we were pampered. A feeling I want to be thankful for but never expect. Cannot recommend any higher. If you are going to enjoy the full Ritz experience you have to get the lounge access.

If you didn't know better you'd think you were in LA in the summer, excepty for the bocce ball. They have an excellent selection of spirits, cocktails. Maybe a little varied, but decently creative. The only thing that gets me is pricing. Sure you pay for everything for decor, glassware and not just spritis, but I recall wondering how they price their drinks becuase not everything is equal or standard mark up when some things aren't house made it's easy to cost out becuase you stop paying for creativity after a certain point. It feels like they took alot of Mr. Lyons business model and use that for pricing rather than a sole entity with their own margins. The service makes up for it, the ambiance makes up for it. The crowd makes up for it. Far less wrinkled and aging snowbirds and retirees circling the drain in their waning days. People dressing up and celebrating, genuine convivialness abounds with most guests. It's not somewhere else trying bring that vibe here, it's pretty authentic. It's separate from nextdoor other than shared bathrooms, so don't be surprised when you feel like your in a different world. Most people who wander between the 2 take pause and awe for a few seconds before their mood shifts to match the room. Not a place to get sloppy and party that way unless it's a closed event. It's a great, classic PS lounge for when you have 2 groups of friends who you can entertain, the steakhouse crowd for dinner and the loungers beforehand. Sunsets on the patio under the string lights and couches is rich backyard summertime vibez.

We both had king sized beds with huge closets and a bathroom to share between the bedrooms. The small seating area with couch and a small dining table with 4 chairs was between the bedrooms in front of the bathroom. The kitchenette included a medium sized fridge/freezer and sink with a Keurig coffee maker. It would have been better if they added a small microwave as well, I felt it was the only thing missing. My room with the balcony facing the street also had a wireless charger and sound machine. What a great touch. My friend took the front bedroom with the view of the pool. Both bedrooms had TVs and ceiling fans. The robes were also perfect! I brought my own hotel slippers. Pool area lacked a little bit more of shade but that's a personal preference. It's so nice that the pool and hot tub was open 24/7! The pool bar is so nice to have for a smaller resort like this. It definitely made our experience better! We didn't get to try the restaurant on site but will definitely check it out next time because we're already planning our next stay! Shout out to Sierra for being such a sweet hostess!

We checked in late after being at the softball field all day. When we first walked into the room it looked super cute but it quickly went sideways. Went to go pull out the sofa-bed for my daughter to sleep in only the find that not only had the sheets not been changed but they were dirty with dried puddles of bodily fluid in the middle. Yeah. Tried to call the front desk but you can't call, only text. So I texted, waited 10 min and after no response my husband went up to the front desk. They literally walked him to their linen closet, handed him some wadded up sheets and said we could change the sheets ourselves. Sorry what? Thats when I decided to go online to try to find a new place to stay. Grabbed my phone, sat on the bed in the bedroom, only to find some lovely pubes in the bed. Texted the front desk again, no response. And because it's so late at night, there's literally no where else to stay in the area because everything is booked. This place should seriously be shut down.
