Romantic Restaurants, Getaway Places in San Jacinto

"Start your day New York-style by dining on the patio of Sherman's Deli and Bakery, a popular Palm Springs restaurant just off the downtown strip. This restaurant is known for its fresh bagels, which make a great breakfast when combined with the restaurant's famous lox. Egg lovers will have a hard time choosing from the extensive omelette and scramble menu, while fish lovers will enjoy the numerous gourmet fish platters served at breakfast."

"Located at the Palm Springs Tennis Club, Spencer's Restaurant offers the perfect setting for a romantic dinner with an elegantly decorated indoor dining space and a whimsical, tree-canopied patio for alfresco dining beneath the stars. The award-winning restaurant serves classic American fare with French and Pacific Rim influences alongside global wines, top-shelf spirits, and classic cocktails. Signature dishes include homemade soups and salads, lobster club sandwich, wild mushroom ravioli, and fresh seafood platters of catch-of-the-day fish and shellfish."

"Spencer’s Restaurant has been lauded for many of its features, including Palm Springs’ most romantic restaurant, best outdoor dining and best Sunday brunch, making it a very special place for those who value quality. Nestled at the base of San Jacinto Mountains, the restaurant serves various classics, such as Chinese-style kung pao calamari, pan-fried Lake Superior white fish, and a New York strip steak with parmesan-truffle fries. Visit for lunch when the sun is out and dine on Spencer’s lush garden patio."

"Any visitor to Palm Springs that is into the arts should ensure that the Palm Springs Museum is firmly on their ‘to do’ list. This is a venue that is packed with both permanent and temporary exhibitions so you can look forward to feasting your eyes on a diverse array of artwork. The museum aims to nurture creativity, enrich culture, and provide education for all those that visit."

"Housed in an old post office in the Uptown Design District, Eight4Nine Restaurant & Lounge is contemporary eatery with sleek surrounds that serves refined New American cuisine for lunch and dinner. The restaurant boasts a stylish dining space with white interiors and furnishings interspersed with pops of color and flourishes of hot pink and eclectic mismatched ceiling lamps. Created by Executive Chef Israel Jimenez, the seasonal menu celebrates modern New American cuisine which uses fresh locally sourced ingredients and regional produce such as fresh, wild-caught seafood, naturally--raised meat, organic salads and vegetables, and homemade desserts."

"Located in the Uptown Design District, you could easily mistake Eight4Nine for an art gallery, but it is, in fact, a restaurant. And a good one at that. The menu is wide-ranging, with everything from cheese plates to poke bowls to chicken Milanese, but just know you can’t really order wrong here."

"Cities around the world are beginning to reopen restaurants, shops and some bars, be sure to call ahead before going."

"72990 El Paseo Suite 3 Palm Desert 760-636-0441wildestgreens.com. When this modern-eclectic café opened in early 2018, it garnered an instant following. Situated at the south end of El Paseo near Palm Desert’s Cahuilla Park and the Santa Rosa foothills, Wildest Greens’ coffee corner, smoothie bar, and grab-and-go market make for an easy pre- or post-hiking stop, while the all-day sit-down restaurant has become a regular choice for locals looking to eat right."

"We had one of our most favorite meals at the Wildest last night!!!. Their menu was so great we couldn't help ourselves and ordered a ton of food."

"If Palm Springs hotels were personas, the Ace Hotel & Swim Club would the Cool Kid. This downtown hotel is the place to both see and be seen. It’s the perfect combination of ultra-hip, artsy, trendy, and retro."

"Known as a modern desert oasis, the Ace Hotel and Swim Club promises fun and adventure at every turn. You can swim in either of their two deep pools to your heart’s content, as they are open daily from 6 a.m."

"The rooms are no-frills (almost reminded me of a camp bunk) but the vibe is fun and the location is great. Loved the IG-worthy sign they have at the entrance. Address: 701 E Palm Canyon Dr"
