"A unique experience" Larry of the Desert Riviera Hotel recommended that we dine at Melvyn's. It is a genuine slice of Palm Springs nostalgia, harking back to the days when Frank Sinatra was a patron. The food and service is excellent. Seldom do you have the opportunity to experience tableside cooking these days! This is a Palm Springs must!! Incidentally,... more

What a truly amazing evening! My husband and I want to Melvyn's being told it was very old Palm Springs. This was exactly what we had been looking for. Campbell, the Maitre D., greeted us at the door. He then took us to our lovely table and introduced our wait staff to us. He would come by every so often... more

Another enjoyable evening at Melvyn's. It's a special place to go in the desert. Seeing the wonderful staff and Sir Michael B.J. Campbell just adds to a great night of dining. more

My husband and I were so excited about experiencing Melvyn's as an "Old Palm Springs" experience. Sorry to say the Thanksgiving meal was very boring. Tired salad, bisque was okay yet very sweet, candied yams? Melvyn's is supposed to have this great wine cellar, but when asked for a Shiraz I got a confused look from the waiter who offered... more

This is old Palm Springs at its best. This is my second visit and I love the atmosphere, the waiter's in a tux, you can't beat that. They even had special dinners for only $19.95, so there is also value. The newer high end restaurants are always nice, but there is something wonderful about going to Melvyn's. more

We have been travelling from Chicago many times to Palm Springs. This was our first time at Melvyns, but definitely not our last! From the first call to make reservations, to the last dance in the bar - it was really an event for us. Campbell greeted us at the door and continually checked on us as the Maitre D.... more

Friends Wayne and John took my partner Jack and I to Melvyn's after telling us how wonderful it was. Without doubt; a true dining experience. From David at the bar to the very helpful Campbell, everything flowed with precision and happiness. A true dining experience. Thanks to Dvid and Cambell. Steve more

What a fabulous dining experience!! The surprise birthday party for my wife was topped off with a great dinner, probably the best yet in the Palm Springs area. The entire staff were incredible. Very well coordinated. Without a doubt the gentleman that made this the dining experience of a lifetime was staff member Sir Campbell. This gentleman is "priceless" I... more

I was a member of a group of five Red Hat ladies enjoying a day in Palm Springs. One of our group wanted to go to Melvin's for a drink so off we went, and we were welcomed by Campbell and made to feel so special by him that we decided to stay for dinner. The experience was one of... more
