This place was great. The ambiance was fantastic. It was a pretty loud environment, but I hadn't seen such a happy crowd in a long time. You look around, and everyone is smiling and engaged in conversation with their table despite the noise. The food was very flavourful. To be honest, I was a bit pessimistic, but they hit a homerun with everything we ordered. I highly recommend and We Will Be Back.

We had a wonderful time! Celebrated my father in law turning 70. They had a yummy cake! Dinner was delicious. Loved my chicken parmesean. We ordered every appetizer and it was awesome especially the escargot! Dueling pianos filled the bar area with great music and an awesome atmosphere! The vibe was on point. Our waiter was incredible and so was the staff that helped fill our water and remove plates. Upscale restaurant with a chill vibe. You can tell that it's the local spot of who's who. 🤩 Our kids enjoyed it as well. I want to go back and just hang out on the bar side! They were having so much fun. I joined in and danced for a song haha pulled you in!!!! Best people watching too. Felt like everyone was famous that walked in!!! Highly recommend. 10/10 👏🏽

A top spot in the whole of the desert! Before you go, make sure to make a reservation. The service is excellent, the food is wonderful and the environment is perfect. They have live band playing with a dance floor on one side of the restaurant and a DJ and another dance floor on the other side. It’s the perfect place to have a fun night life with a group. As for the food menu, it is extensive and have lots of options from different meats to vegetarian. The main dishes come with either soup or salad, so you have even more options. The food taste great! While you wait for your order to arrive, you can hit the dance floor and enjoy your time. Our server was very kind and made sure our food arrived on time and was exactly to our liking. Overall, this is an extremely excellent place, and is highly recommended to visit!

Great place, great food, amazing service and loads of fun. A very famous and historical restaurant where the rat pack and other celebrities used to hang out. The music is nice as is the dance floor. Centrally located on hwy 111 in Indian Wells. Very classy and well run restaurant with a night life flair that many locals and visitors gravitate to. Highly recommended

Dinner was fabulous!... but...... it was a bit too noisy so it was hard to enjoy the groups conversation. Party appeared to have started and people were lined up outside for the opportunity to get inside and join in.

The bar and dance floor way too small but I guess it's the place to go. Every time I went I had to wait at least 30 minutes outside before I could even get in to a packed small area where the djs. If you don't get there early if you don't get there early you will be standing for a long time

A great iconic place! Very popular for a great time with great drinks and food. If you live in the area, you know where the Nest is. They have a great happy hour, that’s what we did, but we have had dinner here before and it was great as well. There martinis are perfect, with chips of ice and blue cheese olives. The wedge salad was perfect, and there other happy hour items are all good, fish tacos, calamari, chicken parm. It’s a great value also for what you get at other places that charge double or triple for what you get here!!!

It was my first time here. I was looking forward to hearing some live music and experiencing "The Nest". The food was tasty, the server was very good but the owner lacked professionalism. We were waiting for our bill & rudely she demanded we leave immediately because the table was booked. Quite the circus, literally.

I've been to Palm Desert area many times and heard this was a top place to go. Definately need reservations. The crowd was pretty mixed, young and old. The facility: Crowded, not much room to stand or sit in bar area, loud, and decor was "meh." The staff: Not very nice and pretty snarky. This includes staff in the bar and restaurant. The food: Way over-priced and seasonless. We had the Steak, Chicken Picata, and Chicken Alfredo. All of the dishes were less than satisfying. None of us finished our meals. The highlight of the night was the entertainer. (I am not talking about the random clown that showed up in the dining room...) Unfortunately, people were dancing everywhere and bumping into everyone, as there isn't a dedicated dance floor or area. None of the people in my group will ever go back. Checked the list and moving on.

Did not actually end up eating here but was disappointed by management. Called the restaurant in October to make a large group reservation for dinner on Valentine's Day (16 people, bachelorette party). Was given phone number for Dodi and advised to text her with my info which I did. Never received a text or call but then received a notification on OpenTable that my reservation was made. Sweet! Didn't hear anything from the restaurant until 2 weeks before when someone called me to confirm and to email the "banquet" menu which was prefixed menu choices starting at $65 per person for house potato chips, salad, entree and dessert. Wish this was discussed when I initially made the reservation. Expressed my disappointment with them and they were willing to work with us a little but then Dodi called me and essentially came off rude/not welcoming. We did not like the menu options which seemed overpriced and very little to pick from if you have any dietary restrictions.

The reputation of this establishment must be be based on patrons from 20+ years ago. Many have recommended this restaurant and it's post meal nightlife. Friday evening dinner with reservations. Hostesses were extremely nice and sat us a bit early, quality of service immediately degraded from there. Inattentive primary server, incomplete table set ups, over salted mid-quality food are the low lights. There are numerous local and national chain alternative venues available in the area that should be considered before this restaurant.

My disappointment with this establishment sprouts from the fact that I my wife and 9 other members of our group contacted covid from our exposure to someone on the staff at this restaurant. Yes I know it's been suggested it was someone in the group but this particular congregation was spread out amongst 4 different tables and I know for a fact I DID NOT greet everyone there. The fine woman in charge of this event was told rather rudely that all staff members are given temperature checks before their shifts. FYI not all covid positive people have elevated temperatures. Thank you for the extra gift to our meal , I know I WILL NOT be back.

I just moved from Texas and heard great things about this place.. everyone there was super sweet. UNTIL, the owner rudely came up to me and demanded that I leave. I was only on my second drink but I think she was upset about the attention men were giving me. I was absolutely shocked when she had me escorted out. That was a first. And absolutely humiliating. I was hesitant to write this review. But after googling and seeing she did the same thing to someone else two weeks ago I felt compelled to. If you want a private bar that’s members only then do that.

This place is horrible. After waiting one hour the snooty bouncer/doorman who thought he owned Palm Springs let 20 people in that cut the line! I got bigger fish to fry than wait for a has been club in Palm Springs. lol Not worth waiting in line where the bouncer gets a hundred dollars from old people. lol We are not in Hollywood people!
