Cynthia DrescherApril 4, 2013Classic piano bar with real hostesses and real cocktails and not trying to cater to hipsters at all, though they eventually find it and fall in love with it as well.
OMG get the steak tartare for g*d’s sake! (-; It’s to die for. So you like shrimp cocktail? Get the absolute best. Mayo with garlic, ginger, a dash of soy & lemon. Bring me a bowl, if you please.
Steve BakerSeptember 15, 2012Best place for French Fries. Huge Sandwich and Fries. Would easily feed two. Atmosphere is cool and fabulous. Ask for Steve's Special. Either with fruit or fries, you can't go wrong!- Bobby SolomonMarch 21, 2019Situated within the Ingleside Inn, Melvyn's is an old school joint with an updated vibe. Host to numerous old celebs, this is the perfect place to get a strong drink and meet some new friends.
RyanLikesRedMarch 13, 2013Saying the food was mediocre would be a compliment. Service was great & the atmosphere was cool. Go there for a drink at the bar. Go to The Purple Palm for a fabulous dinner and dessert!
Laura DaviesMarch 5, 2016A slice of times gone by. No-one under 50 we've mentioned this place to has heard of it!
Best for stiff drinks and amazing piano player who starts at 8 p. Sunday afternoon are amazing open jams.- Jackie PillaiMay 11, 2014Nothing short of fabulous! Wanted to take mom some place special for mother's day and this was definitely THE place to be! Thank you Melvyn's.
Brandon GrayApril 8, 2016It's kinda like God's waiting room in there, but that's because it's classic old Palm Springs in all the right ways. Excellent dinner locale
Barbara BoyackDecember 5, 2013Fabulous old school PS! Great food and awesome service. How a restaurant should be!
Patrick MclaughlinJanuary 27, 2018The bread was good as was the chopped salad. The entree I had was chicken and I swear it was microwaved.
Brad MillerMarch 26, 2018Sadly overrated. Service and food average at best. And asking patrons prepared to spend $$$$ for dinner to stand and wait until all table mates present? Consensus amongst 7 of us - average.
- Mason StewartAugust 28, 2016Only sat at the bar but what an experience. Amazing old school cocktails and amazing stories from patrons and staff. Loved it.
- David SpancerAugust 19, 2010Food: eh and expensive. But the drinks: fantastic and strong! The scene: the last remaining old school Rat Pack bar in the desert, with bartenders and patrons who drank with Frank.
