    My husband and I dined outside on the patio near the music. The guitar player is world class. Food, ambience and service made for a nice and entertaining birthday dinner. We’ll be back.

    Been to Arnold Palmer's many times over the years AND last night was extremely outstanding! Service from Valet's, Chkng-in to wait staff were all so professional and efficient. We ALL agreed the food quality seemed to better than ever before with King Salmon, Short Rib Gnocchi, 1/2 Roasted chicken marsala and even the Meatloaf. After quickly getting seated against open courtyard wall, we loved the beautiful music while enjoying the ambience and talking without having to speak loudly! I tip my hat to Arnolds as we left ...a night to remember!

    We had a lovely evening. We sat in the bar at a table. We shared the baked French onion soup, which was delicious the Barada green tomato salad very tasty and split the pork chop with mashed potatoes and apple chutney. The pork chop was perfectly cooked mashed potatoes, creamy apple chutney delicious. Two full for dessert. Lovely waiter, and support staff. We will definitely be returning.

    We visit Palm Desert yearly. Dining at Arnold Palmer's has become a highlight of our trip. The ambiance on the patio is always outstanding. The food and beverage selection is also top-notch. The bacon-wrapped dates are a family favorite. And kudos to the 'one man band' we have enjoyed listening to year after year. He does an amazing job keeping us entertained.

    Our server Valarie was one of the best servers we have ever had. She was efficient, attentive without being intrusive. The great food and atmosphere made for a wonderful birthday celebration that we will never forget.

    Our dining experience was exceptional! The service was top notch. We started with the Grapefruit Crush & Pom Dreams cocktails, both very lovely. Shrimp cocktail appetizer was delicious (4 very large shrimp). Entrees were the surf & turf special (filet & lobster, both perfectly cooked) with asparagus and mashed potatoes and the linguine bolognese. We enjoyed seeing all of the memorabilia. Definitely worth a visit for golf enthusiasts and foodies.
