Walls hung with Calder and Warhol set the tone at this American restaurant and bar, where the design hovers somewhere between garish and glamorous and reservations disappear weeks out. If you didn't plan ahead, arrive before doors open and angle for a bar seat. A precisely made martini is the move, and the burger has earned its reputation as a signature. The Michelin Guide has it listed, and the crowd dresses accordingly.

The surprise here is that "farm-to-table in the desert" is less a marketing line than a geography lesson: the Coachella Valley is one of the country's most productive agricultural corridors, and this modernist New American restaurant sources accordingly, down to a dedicated garden in Rancho Mirage. The space itself is a polished-concrete interior tucked inside an old Spanish-style building, with a mist-cooled courtyard out back. The bar program runs to house-made ginger beer.

The bacon flight, five strips in rotating flavors, is reason enough to brave the wait at this daytime-only brunch spot in Palm Springs. Text-ahead seating lands you on a covered patio full of sunglasses and no particular hurry. The weekly-changing menu leans on local produce and runs from breakfast quesadillas to proper coffee cake, with housemade pastries at the counter for anyone too impatient to sit down.

Moroccan-style tilework and wallpaper set the mood at this hotel restaurant inside Colony Palms, where the turquoise pool has been catching afternoon light since Clark Gable was a regular. The menu keeps things loose, running from snacks and hummus to grilled pork chop and chicken pot pie. Dress is poolside-adjacent, the vibe is old Palm Springs glamour, and someone at the next table may have just driven up from L.A. for the weekend.

On the seventh floor of the Rowan Hotel, this fine dining room has the highest rooftop in downtown Palm Springs, with the San Jacinto Mountains spread out in every direction. The chef riffs on Southern cooking, grilled steaks and seasonal produce with a warm-weather looseness that fits the setting. Date-infused Old Fashioneds arrive while the light goes gold. Prices float as high as the altitude, but so does everything worth watching in Palm Springs.

Hacienda arches and in-house tortillas set the tone at this modern Mexican restaurant in downtown Palm Springs, where business lunchers and sunburned tourists in cover-ups share the room without anyone noticing the difference. The menu runs from street tacos to lobster, and the quesabirria short rib tacos come with a side of consommé for dipping. The tequila list is long enough that the margarita flights feel almost restrained.

The patio has its own doggy door, and the dogs get their own menu. Boozehounds is a cocktail bar in Palm Springs where the drinks list runs deep and the bar food swings wider than you'd expect, from truffled parmesan fries to tuna tataki to Korean rice cakes. The indoor room is humans only, sleek and air-conditioned, while the enclosed patio handles the four-legged clientele with its own bowls and treats.
