We had a great experience and delicious food at Arnold Palmer’s! I remember watching Arnie on tv play golf with my grandfather when I was young and it was so cool to see all the memorabilia and think about him. Ambience was wonderful! We started with the steak tar tar which was good but I prefer when the mustard and egg yolk is mixed in. It did slightly lack in some seasoning but the filet was tender and good quality. Then I had the Branzino which was the star of the whole night. If you enjoy fish I highly recommend! It was flavorful and tender and some of the best dish I’ve ever had.

Dining outside under the palm trees and stars, with the amazing guitarist playing beautiful music makes Arnold Palmer’s our favorite restaurant in the desert. The food and service are great.

Always an enjoyable evening! Great food- we split the halibut special and it was prepared perfectly. And the au gratin potatoes were a huge hit. And I always love their coconut cream pie- which I will enjoy for a few days since I brought some home. The staff is always amazing. One of our favorite places!

We ate in the dining room area with many golf pictures and memorabilia of Arnold Palmer. We had the night’s special sashimi appetizer that was unique and delicious, prime rib, pesto halibut, and the coconut cream pie for dessert. We loved everything including the service from Sara and staff.

Great service was promptly seated for are reservation. We had an excellent server everyone was very happy with the actual meal. We were on the patio luckily the weather was not really hot as usual, being outside is a real plus. The only thing several in the group thought that the music was a little loud. All around great experience.
