  • Great for fine wines
  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
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 offered 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...........................................
RESERVATIONS ARE RECOMMENDED BUT, IF YOU DON'T SEE ANY AVAILABILITY, JUST WALK-IN FOR THE NEXT SEAT AVAILABLE.

    CF has a very fun speakeasy vibe for a B-Day celebration. The beef carpaccio with truffle and duck/fig terrine were good with unique flavor profiles. Cheese plate with lavash was the star of show. Wine was awesome but quite expensive—$18 a glass. Service was great. $30 credit card hold for a reservation in an empty restaurant at 5pm is silly, annoying and unnecessary. We enjoyed CF very much, but a bit pricey for wine and small plate portions.

    Love Counter Reformation. A great spot to catch up with friends, share some food tapas style and enjoy an eclectic wine list.

    Very unique little hideaway in side the Parker hotel property in Palm Springs. The bartender on Saturday 6/15/2024 was outstanding! As I told her, I wish more of my employees had the energy and focus on customer service that she demonstrated!!

    Always an inviting vibe with friendly and accommodating staff. The menu is imaginative and tasty (not an easy combo) that makes dining here both exciting and satisfying. We've ventured to many spots in Palm Springs and this is a standout favorite.
