Exceptional(259)
Price: Expensive
• Wine Bar • Palm Desert
Booked 2 times today
Bar seating and ledge-leaning is the rule of thumb—think Paris tabac or the zinc—the heat of local life, crowded with regulars at the counter waiting for their vin rouge. Here you’ll find our Cave à Manger, an eclectic curation of wines by the glass, paired with a menu of small plated savory delicacies created for this tasting smorgasbord. More than an amuse-bouche, less than a serving. Range, variety, exploration, and discovery are the point.Counter Reformation is located inside Parker Palm Springs, a Leading Hotels of the World property. Valet parking is complimentary when you dine. Reservations are recommended, but if you don’t see availability, just walk in for the next seat at the counter.Want to dive deeper into the wine list? Meet Bruce Barrett, our hotel sommelier—just ask for him.

    Overall a very good place. The room is large with great views. We had drinks at the bar then dinner. Both the bartender and server were enthusiastic and fun. The signature cocktails are interesting and theatrical if not a bit too sweet. The food is very good. We had the sea bass which is terrific although it does not share that it is a curry based dish, so a bit of a surprise. The fish was cooked perfectly. Also pasta special was delicious. My biggest criticism is really the cost. Drinks were $25 each and dinner for 4 was over $400. This is a casual restaurant in a golf club that I would want to go to frequently for fun and interesting food. It is priced more like fine dining. Prices like this make it a few times a year at best, kind of place. I would prefer a less costly, more small, shared plates kind of place that one could more affordably visit more frequently.

    Like the revised menu more than I like the choice of music being offered. Or maybe I'm just not young or hip enough for management? Service by the experienced gentleman who assisted us could easily be the best and most welcoming we have ever had in the Valley.
