    We had some issues with the food we ordered and our server was more than accommodating. They did a wonderful job of making it right for us. We had the lobster Mac and cheese and it was phenomenal! The soup of the day was cream of mushroom with a truffle oil and it was to die for. Definitely check them out.

    Palm Springs is home, we therefore enjoy many dining options year round. It had been a couple years since we last dined at 849. After this past week’s dinner, we will absolutely djne at 849 frequently! Awesome service. We had a table outside, in the evening, very comfortable. And the food! OMG! There must be a new chef! We had oysters snd a carrots with hummus appetizers; both great. Main courses were lobster with pasta and fried chicken with salads, again both awesome (the salad dressing amazing). Strongly recommended!

    This is our favorite restaurant in Palm Springs! The food is amazing. I had grilled prawns over a bed of pasta with a garlic sauce. The prawns were just delicious, so tender and scrumptious. My strawberry lemon drop was amazing. The last time we were here I had the raspberry lemon drop and it too was incredible. We love, love the food here and the service is lightning fast. We can’t wait to try another new dish — kudos to the chef !!

    We had a great lunch. We both had the Lite lunch with a grilled cheese sandwich and New England Clam Chowder. Both were wonderful. The Albariño wine and the Champagne Cocktail were outstanding as well. Service were attentive and prices are moderate. We are locals and long time Spencer’s customers and will be back.

    What a gem! Terrific food where some old standards are given a little twist. The General Tso cauliflower is unrecognizable…in a good way. They do a thing with chicken in a deviled egg that makes you wonder which came first. Staff prompt.attentive and friendly; prices reasonable. In a great spot for doing some home design shopping, then discussing over dinner. Four stars.
