The swanky, secret, behind-the-velvet-curtain (no literally) restaurant at The Parker. Definitely make a reservation. Definitely dress up. Definitely don't be "that person" who takes a picture with the flash on, because the entire, dimly lit restaurant will murder you. Great for a special occassion. Incredible food. Attentive service.

Norma's at the Parker - elevated diner/comfort/hipster food. Beautiful patio, great scene, and the most affordable (still pricey) way to experience The Parker. When you're done, grab a drink and wander the extensive grounds!

Opens at 4pm on weekdays, and 12pm on Saturday and Sunday (but double check). Anthony Bourdain said they were the best fish tacos he'd ever had...and he wasn't lying. With fresh seafood brought in daily, no trip to Palm Springs is complete without a stop at Shanghai Reds. Go for their famous fish taco, but the grilled shrimp tacos are pretty spectacular as well. Very casual, indoor/outdoor bar vibe.

Not much to look at from the outside. Okay, you might call it a hole in the wall - but holy moly. Fantastic mexican food - big margaritas, table-side guacamole, fantastic entrees with big, bold flavors. Highly recommend!

Indoor/outdoor rustic Italian food. Maybe the best flatbread pizzas and handmade pastas you will ever eat. This place is truly special. Pets okay on the patio. Sit outside under the twinkly lights on a warm summer night.
