In town for a weekend getaway and just so happened to be staying right across the street from Mr. Lyons, so we made reservations, in anticipation of a nice night out. The exterior of the restaurant looked a little shady but the entrance was beautiful with a nice outdoor setting area to the right, once inside you are transformed into a swanky/ upscale steakhouse with dining room seating, a bar area and the aforementioned outdoor seating. Nancy and I settled into our booth with hi-back seats and plenty of room to have a conversation without much noise and immediately felt immersed in the relaxing setting. Cocktails were on our minds, she ordered a Blackberry Bourbon Ginger Fizz and I had a Pimm's cup, so refreshing and so on the spot, executed to perfection! Sarah Marie was our server and she guided us through the menu with confidence, knowledge as well as the patience a good server must have in order for the dinner to flow flawlessly for the guest, we were also visited by the sommelier but hard liquor was on our mind. Nancy ordered the wedge salad and i just had to try the "potato chip salad", not potato salad to see what that was about and a side of Parker House Rolls, the salads came out chilled and perfectly dressed and the rolls were warm/ buttery goodness. We had decided that we would split a Beef Wellington and baked potato and a side of Brussels sprouts, loved everything, the beef was spot on medium rare and the sides were more than we could eat. No room for dessert but had a wonderful time and look forward to returning some day. overall, great experience!

Absolutely blew my mind. I Google mapped "steakhouse". Found multiple. Checked out the pictures and this place was catching my vibe. Made reservations same day. Arrived. Ordered the beef wellington, Brussel sprout, mash, lobster ravioli, ceaser salad and the caviar and that's when it happened. My mind was blown. I new then that this restaurant was performing at a much higher level then I anticipated and it made me so happy. Such professional staff. I'm very thankful for the meal. Complements to the chef.

A classic Steakhouse, excellent and menu educated servers set up a wonderful dinner. The food was served quickly, properly seasoned and hot. Tables are spaced apart enough where sounds are there but quiet conversation can be had. The prices are high but the quality of food and service make the sting not so bad. Indulge yourself.

I had a great dinner here with friends in a Saturday night. I absolutely loved the atmosphere in here. Think classic Palm Springs steakhouse that’s been renovated and updated. They have a wine and cocktail list but you can also BYOB. We each got a salad and an entree and split three sides, which was more than enough. Steak is the thing to get here - I got the Beef Wellington and Potato Chip Salad. Both recommended. Prices were high but not crazy for the setting. Would repeat

We called for a last-minute reservation and they got back to us quick. Luckily, they had a table available for Sunday night for two humans and two dogs. It was our first time trying the Beef Wellington, and they absolutely killed it! The service was excellent, and the patio was quiet enough to keep our dogs calm and comfortable. Valet parking made everything even easier. Overall, we had a great time and really enjoyed the experience.

We went very early for happy hour so that we insured we had a table for our group. The happy hour is fun, it’s pricey and there’s not much selection but what they do have there is delicious and the setting is so luxurious and fun. Our friends who arrived later had trouble getting in and getting a table and we’re put on a pretty long waitlist. There is a side bar called Seymour’s behind a curtain that was available to be seated in. That’s an equally beautiful space within this restaurant. It looks like there are multiple spaces to get your Palm Springs luxury on.

Nice place for date night with a really cool bar area and nice ambiance in the restaurant. I was a little disappointed in the Beef Wellington. The puff pastry was undercooked. My husband had the sole which was pretty good. The Baked Alaska was nicely presented but the meringue wasn’t the best.

Solid experience. We enjoyed our meal and had a good time. Food was nice but not exceptional. Felt like all of the dishes could have benefitted from some slight improvements although they were decent. For example, the wonton on the hamachi was soggy, the potato chip salad was short on chips, the bone marrow was over-seasoned, etc Excellent wine list with fair pricing and good cocktails. Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere.

I had high expectations based on the reviews, the price and also from the personal recommendation I received. Celebrated a birthday dinner - excellent atmosphere for that I would say. Perfect ambiance, great service, delicious cocktails. The only thing that didn’t make the mark for me was the food. The apps were okay - good but not amazing. My daughter got the filet mignon - delicious and cooked as expected. I got the pork chop tomahawk - it was okay; a little dry and flavor was average. What was disappointing was the carrot cake. Friend said it was the best thing ever … it was not. Cake was a bit dry and lack the texture I was looking for in a traditional carrot cake. What did stand out was the chocolate lava cake. It was as a lava cake should be and delicious. For the price per dish, I would expect EVERYTHING to be perfect. It was not. Hence, the 4 stars.

We had a very enjoyable dinner at Mr. Lyons. One of the things we appreciated most was being able to set our own pace — nothing felt rushed, and the staff gave us plenty of time to settle in and enjoy the evening. The wine list is excellent, with a thoughtful selection that paired well with the dishes. The food itself was the highlight: both the pork chop and the steak were outstanding, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. There were, however, a couple of things that could be improved. The restaurant is extremely dark — atmospheric, yes, but to the point where it’s difficult to actually see your food. A bit more light would make the dining experience more comfortable. We also didn’t love the upselling. We ordered a simple martini, and only when the bill came did we notice an extra $8 charged for Belvedere vodka, without this being mentioned beforehand. Despite those points, the staff were friendly, the food was very good, and the overall experience was pleasant. It’s a nice spot for a quality meal, though perhaps a bit too “well-priced” for what you get.

You never want to leave a steakhouse feeling underwhelmed. Here’s a quick recap: We arrived 15 minutes early and found valet parking available. The atmosphere was swanky, but the ongoing wedding created a loud vibe that didn’t suit the steakhouse atmosphere and created a lot of in and out foot traffic. Although we had a reservation, they prioritized a couple for immediate seating, which was frustrating. None the less we were finally seated at, exactly 9 PM. Once at our corner booth, a thoughtful gesture was the staff pulling the table out for easy access. After that, we waited too long for our waiter to take our order, but eventually, we got to discuss the menu and ordered drinks and appetizers. Our appetizers—creamed corn and whipped potatoes—disappointed, corn undercooked and potatoes not whipped and cold. However, the caviar and bone marrow were exceptional. For dinner, we ordered the steak special, a veggie wellington, and a beef wellington. Here’s where it got messy: the kitchen delivered our meals without clearing the starters first, creating chaos with dirty plates and no new silverware. Despite this, the food was fantastic. The steak was perfectly cooked, and the Wellington was delicious, though on the veggie wellington we'd prefer beet greens over chard for a sweeter flavor inside that devine crust. Afterward, they boxed our leftovers quickly, but it would have been better to receive them with the check, due to the table size and still ordering dinner. For dessert, we had date pudding and a frozen Meyer lemon dessert, both outstanding and a perfect end to the meal, especially with the desert wines. The elegant experience we had upon arrival was lost as we had to move our own table to leave, complete oversight by the management team. Overall, I’d rate this a solid 4 stars. While there were a few issues, the experience often hit the mark, leaving me curious to try another Palm Springs location or just maybe Mr. Lyons can nail it?

Not bad but not mind-blowingly great either. We had the bone marrow, brussel sprouts, shrimp cocktail, beef Wellington. No complaints. Service was excellent. Stopped by their “speakeasy” after dinner. Sad to say that was underwhelming.

First prime rib very tough! Sent back, brought filet . Not that much better. Lobster ravioli good but wouldn't bring me back there. Too many other wonderful restaurants with better food and more reasonably priced .

Came here for my husband’s birthday and ordered the fried chicken with “Korean quick pickle.” For $31, this was genuinely disappointing. The chicken itself was bland, with almost no salt in either the meat or the coating. The breading was sludgy and sliding off the chicken, and it was plated with the coating pressed directly against the plate, eliminating any remaining crispness. It was unappetizing on arrival. The “Korean quick pickle” set an expectation that wasn’t met. It read more like a lightly tweaked Midwestern cucumber salad than anything informed by Korean flavors. Nothing about the chicken suggested a double-fried or properly crisp preparation, which made the pairing feel confused rather than intentional. Beyond that dish, there were several comfort and service issues. The wooden chairs were uncomfortable and visibly splitting. The music was loud enough to make conversation difficult. Our server refilled bottled water with tap water without asking, which felt careless. A cheese chew pastry they provided for free tasted like it had picked up refrigerator odors. I recognize that many other reviews praise the atmosphere, cocktails, and steakhouse-style dishes here, which is why this stood out so sharply. Maybe these items are outliers, but at this price point, consistency and attention to detail matter. Beautiful space, but this experience missed on food execution, comfort, and service basics. I wouldn’t return for these dishes.

We tried Mr. Lyons for Thanksgiving dinner and left underwhelmed. The food was generally bland for the price point, and while service started off strong, it slipped as the night went on. Our desserts didn’t come out at the same time, we had to remind the staff that two were missing. They kindly offered dessert wine to make up for it. They also didn’t have some of the dessert options we originally chose, which should’ve been caught when orders were taken. To be fair, the staff remained friendly and gracious, especially impressive on Thanksgiving, but overall, it wasn’t worth the cost or the occasion.
