Diner Reviews

"we had a great time , even when i had wine split all over me."
Dined on 3/8/2014
"Excellent waiter. Loved how he described the special."
Dined on 3/6/2014
"We were looking forward to a steak dinner and this was recommended. So disappointing. Our service was terrible. My husband ordered a cocktail and the waiter wanted to take our order immediately. We sent him away to enjoy our drink and look at the menu and he was back almost immediately. We ordered a wedge salad and each a filet. The salad never arrived and the steak was there before we finished our cocktail. So much for a nice glass of red wine with our steak! Which, by the way, I would describe as fair. For $30 a la carte, I expected something I didn't have to saw through! And apparently there were specials that I waiter neglected to inform us. The ambiance was nothing great - overlooking the street above a cigar bar. Really? Do not go!"

"Went for my birthday. Service was exceptional you could tell our waitress loved her job. Myself and my BFF had the fish special it came with a lobster tail and was delicious ! Our other guest had the rack of lamb which he loved. She brought us their famous date and pecan bread pudding for my bday and it completed our meal. I'll definitely be back !"

"I made my reservations about 4 days before so I did not have many choices.Had to call and confirm the day of and glad I did as one group was denied since they didn't. Seated within 10 minutes of our time so I was pleased but did not see the waitress for 15 minutes.I expected a wait being valentines day but this was a little much as we waited for everything.Didn't get our bread until a minute before our entrées arrived. Wife got scallop and shrimp fettuccine which she said was awesome. I got the porterhouse which was cooked on the medium side of medium rare but it was still very good Garlic mashed potatoes were the creamiest I have ever had.Son had stiletto steak which was medium rare when we ordered medium. Prices were fare, $140 for three."

"My wife and I celebrated Valentine's at the Falls. We have been there several times before and love the food and the service. This time we asked to sit in Desiree's area. She is always positive and eager to satisfy every desire. My wife had the lobster tail and I had the 20 oz. dry aged ribeye. Cooked perfectly and delicious. Can't wait to go again."

"The Falls was an excellent choice for VDay 2014! Great service and great food as always even on this busy night!"
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The service and food were great. Large variety of food for all. Portions are large but ala carte. The presentation of the 'smoking' martini's is a spectacle...the added dry ice makes them smoke and keeps them really cold which is wonderful..."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"We went to The Falls Steakhouse for two of their specialties. Caesar salad and Bananas Foster. When it came time to order we were told that both of their specialties were not being served on Valentines day. What a disappointment. The rest of the food was good but nothing special."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The wait was too long after making reservations. The bar was dirty where we waited. It needs an overhaul. The restaurant was nice and service and food was good. There are better steakhouses in the area."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The Falls has fallen. Very poor service (we waited for nearly everything. At meal's end, we waited at least 30 minutes for the check, after numerous requests). Food was just ok, overpriced. We were seated in dining room off the bar, was noisy & hot. Manager shut French doors to allow dining room to cool and to abate noise, but the hired help left the doors open again within 2-3 minutes. Would not recommend, Palm Sorings has many good places, this is one that is poor."
Dined on 2/14/2014
"The sea bass was excellent, melted in my mouth. Service was very good. I will definitely go back!"
Dined on 2/7/2014
"A main town classic restaurant... been going for years... great steaks.. and lovely patio dining when weather permits! Food has always been consistent.. and service friendly... fairly priced for quality steaks... onion soup always a classic dish.. Enjoy the old Palm Springs feeling!"
Dined on 2/3/2014
"Had the pork chop because they ran out of the fish special at 7pm (really?) even though the waiter spent 5 minutes going through the specials and made a big deal of the fish special!! Pork chop was dry and smashed potatoes were ordinary. Had the crab cake appetizer which was basically like eating fried baby food - no real chunks of crab to speak of. Ambiance was nice but wierd, as when we entered Led Zepp was playing in the bar area and then we entered dinning area and we had elevator music - go figure."
Dined on 1/28/2014
"Not good for a group of 10 like ours. We waited 1 hour for the check! Very disappointed. Food and ambience great. Not smart managers."
Dined on 1/25/2014
"We had a wonderful experience at the FALLS, it was my Fiancés birthday and it was super romantic and the rack of lamb of outstanding. Juan our waiter suggested everything we ordered and he was RIGHT ON, it was all wonderful."
Dined on 1/23/2014
"Arrived for dinner at 8:15 when they close at 9:30, but the staff was great even though we were the last table and I know we kept some of them there longer than usual. I usually like to avoid that but couldn't this time. The restaurant was not busy on a Sunday holiday weekend in January, but last time I was here it was. The bar is great when it is busy, although it can get TOO crowded. Solid food and great staff."
Dined on 1/19/2014
"The food is great love the balcony ambiance looking over the streets of ps. I wish the waiter actually brought the oysters I ordered. Even with a mediocre waiter I still love this place. The host staff is super accommodating and helpful. Their smoking martini snare pretty cool."
Dined on 1/18/2014
"Everything we ordered was out-of-this-world great but the steak was even better. Service was excellent. We dined outdoors and enjoyed the people watching experience. I would strongly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a truly great dining experience."
Dined on 1/18/2014
"From the moment you enter the restaurant, everyone there made our visit special. The food was perfect. Lobster tail, Petit Filet, sautéed mushrooms and sautéed spinach all prepared exactly as we liked. The 1/2 bottle of wine option was also great to see. My wife LOVED the pomegranate martini's and everyone around us thought the presentation was pretty cool too. Our waiter came by often to make sure the food was acceptable and the wine glass was filled. Pricey - YES but worth it!"
Dined on 1/11/2014
"A fabulous place with terrific menu, particularly steaks. Always a great meal with great presentation. They never miss."

"We had a great Anniversary dinner . We sat outside on the balcony at the "Fire Pit" Table, which was lovely. The drinks, food and service were wonderful. We love The Falls."
Dined on 12/31/2013
"The food here was wonderful. Group of four, and we all enjoyed our food. However, I was disappointed in the service. 3 of us finished our meal and I was ready for coffee and dessert. Our waiter was no where to be found and we waited at least 15 minutes for him to show up. Finally we were running out of time so we skipped it and requested our ticket. As I got my ticket he flipped my glass of water over in my lap. He apologized, but really a comp for wine or a to go dessert would have been appropriate. It was an expensive restaurant and that would have been the nice thing to do. I would still dine here again because the food was good."
Dined on 12/31/2013
"Group of six dined on NYE. Slow and inattentive service with just ok food. Baked potatoes were way overcooked...clearly had been sitting in a warming oven all day. Had to ask for our waiter several times."
Dined on 12/31/2013
"We had reservations for New Years Eve on the balcony and from the moment we were seated the experience began. Server was fantastic and was there when we needed her to take ctar of our every request. Then the food came and all I can say is OMG, both the filet and NY Steak were cooked to perfection which isn't always easy when one is MR and the other MW. This will be our "go to" restaurant when we go out to dinner in Palm Springs. You can't go go wrong."
Dined on 12/31/2013
"This was a most enjoyable dinner. The food was perfectly prepared, the service impeccable, and the ambience was just right."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"The category of "steakhouse" is not taken lightly in Palm Springs. Prime aged steaks are the point and this restaurant 'falls' well short of that claim. If you love a great steak, you probably don't mind paying $40-50 for a great ribeye. You won't find that here. There steaks are not prime and clearly not aged. My 20oz bone-in was more likely a 14oz cut. It was not well marbled and wasn't thick. The meat wasn't seared and lacked the flavorful crust characteristic of well prepared steaks. Flavor was above average but on the whole this meal fell well short of a great steak experience. Drinks were fun, dry ice in the martinis causes them to bubble up. Service was good. Interior needed maintenance and a bit of updating wouldn't hurt either."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"This is the fourth time we have eaten here and unfortunately, the experience was definitely different. Albeit Christmas evening, and as out of towners, we choose the Falls for our meal away from home. Prior experiences were fantastic with wonderful food, service and a fun atmosphere. Not so last Wednesday as service was slow, impersonal and distracted. There was a lot of commotion in the kitchen although being Christmas this might have been the way to celebrate for staff. The three previous dinners were again fantastic - this one was "okay" and that falls short of their abilities and our expectations."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"Went here for Christmas Day dinner. The menu is great. Even is you don't want a steak in this steak house, there are so many great starters to choose from. And, ask for the vegetarian menu. It is separate from the main menu and has a few really great items. Service is always top notch. The table side Caesar salad is fantastic. Mom had prime rib and loved it. My entree order was mixed up, but happily corrected immediately. The waiter didn't miss a beat about it. And, you can't miss the balcony seating on the second floor. Fantastic. There are two 4-top tables and one 2-top table that is its own balcony for something very special. Be sure to reserve them if you want that."
Dined on 12/25/2013
"We all enjoyed our time, food and especially good service from the young lady who took care of us. Will certainly be back!"
Dined on 12/18/2013
"My second time there and both times excellent food and service couldn't be better. Our waitress the best and your cesar salad the best ever. Will be a regular."
Dined on 11/22/2013
"Reserved seats for four on private patio. Second time we have been and were impressed on both occasions. Food service and patio were spectacular ."
Dined on 11/21/2013
"Always wanted to try the falls and was not disappointed at all when we finally did. My boyfriend live 380 miles away and we brought along a friend from Burlington VT. who has very discerning tastes and he loved it too. We had the salmon, prime rib, and fillet, all excellent and cooked to perfection, and an EXCELLENT bottle of Buena Vista Cab from Sonoma County along with their drunken shrimp, baked potatoes and Salad and the best part of the whole evening was eating on the balcony over looking the mercado and sonny Bono fountain with an open fire pit right at out corner table. What a wonderful restaurant!"
Dined on 11/4/2013
"excellent all around. Deseret provided fanstatic service."
Dined on 11/3/2013
"Everything was super. If your in the mood for more of a quiet atmosphere sit inside, if your in the mood for more of a party setting eat outside on the balcony. Both are great just depends on your mood."
Dined on 10/20/2013
"The balcony setting was exceptional. Very romantic and private space for two, but just above the action down on the street. Our waiter Freddie was very attentive and we really enjoyed his service. The food, while very good, I thought it was a bit over priced. Still this was overall a good spot for a special occassion."
Dined on 10/9/2013
"We have been with you before, but this time was exceptional! The ambiance was fabulous and the waiter(besides being very good looking) was most attentive and entertaining....and I like that he didn't hover. It was most relaxing!"
Dined on 10/2/2013
"We had dined at the Falls a few years ago and were quite satisfied with our dining experience then. However, this last time, we were a bit disappointed in not only the food but the service as well. My wife asked for a cup of coffee after her meal and a pot was brought to the table and we were charged $10 for it. The waiter should have told us this before bringing it. Also, the side dishes were very large and two people could have shared one side dish and still had left overs. However, again, the waiter did not inform us of this. I doubt that we would visit this establishment again."
Dined on 10/4/2013
"This past week the restaurant was virtually empty probably due to the time of year, mid September. The service was mediocre and our order got messed up. We ordered Onion Rings and Bearnaise Sauce. Onion rings never came and the Bearnaise sauce was watery, sour and bad. We returned the sauce and the waiter told us that he agreed that the sauce was bad. He said the kitchen rushed making it, which for the life of me I can't figure out what the rush was since there were not many tables that were occupied. Probably won't rush back to The Falls Steakhouse."
Dined on 9/18/2013
"There were four in our party,one is a graduate of La Cordon Bleu. We chose this restaurant because it is advertised as a prime rib house. The prime rib was too fatty and not enough salt, we realize you need some fat for flavor but if you are charging $38.00 for a piece of meat on it's own, it should be excellent. The shrimp and scallop dish was excellent."
