This place is fantastic. We loved all the different dishes. The Osso Bucco was outstanding, the filet was excellent and perfectly cooked, my husband said it was the best steak he’s had in a long time. My Thai curry with seafood was absolutely delicious and the flavors in the dish were remarkable. The wine was very fairly priced, a small selection but great choices. The service was impeccable, Eduardo and Alex were always there when we needed them but left us alone to enjoy the evening. honestly we felt like friends coming for dinner. We were so impressed we asked to meet the chef Giovanni to tell him personally about our wonderful experience. We ended the evening with 2 desserts, crème brûlée and chocolate lava cake and they were both delicious.
They have indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outside and quickly forgot that it’s right on Indian Canyon Dr. because everything was perfect

Unassuming place from the outside. We got the Baked Ziti with Shrimp and the Salmon. Also had an Ahi Tartare Wonton which was quite flavorful and finished up with a banana dessert. Food was delicious and the service top notch. Our fabulous waiter was Serge — same guy from Toast’d.

What a gem. The staff are all friendly and accommodating and the food is top tier. It’s quite the dining experience due to the care, precision and quality of products used to create one’s dish. And the sauces! So well prepared and executed.
The ambiance on the inside could use a little updating by the bar…the black painted and somewhat warped drop ceiling tiles along with the older bar equipment just do not represent nor compare to the amazing culinary experience.
Overall this place is a great find and reasonably priced for the level of food and service. Strongly recommend it!

A nicer dining venue in Palm Springs. It’s cute for an intimate setting but also seems to accommodate groups pretty well. It has some historical connection to Sinatra and other stars, like a lot of restaurants here do.
For your meal, the Chilean sea bass is a no brainer. Cooked to perfection and seasoned well. It’s worth it come to this restaurant for this dish alone. My friend also got the crab cakes and said they were good.
The parking was a little tricky. The lot is pretty small and has a few other restaurants there so if they’re all busy I can’t imagine where everyone would park.

Desert Moon is like a throwback to better days of dining out. With its tablecloths, glowing lamps on the tables, and soft background music, the room itself is retro and nostalgic without being stuffy. The service—a rarity in Palm Springs—is friendly, professional, and consistent.
The food, like the room, is old-fashioned without being boring. We love the escargot and short ribs en croute to start, and the salads are fresh and inventive. The pork osso bucco is as awesome as its reputation, and their meat and fish are excellent quality.
Last night we enjoyed the New Year’s Eve prix fixe menu; all around us were people enjoying their cocktails and dinner without having to shout over the music or fight for a waiter’s attention. And I know that if they ever offer the pistachio-crusted lamb or filet mignon Oscar on the regular or specials menu, I’m having it again…

Made a visit because they had strong reviews but were disappointed in a few things. Ordered the potato croquettes and got accidentally delivered 2 crab cakes. The problem with this even though it was free was I wasn’t sure if I was eating a potato croquette or a crab cake. Zero lump crab meat in these. I originally wanted to order these and glad I didn’t. Definitely not the place for crab cakes. Ordered the cowboy steak because it came with augratin potatoes and wasn’t particularly happy with either. Cowboy steak was thin but cooked ok for being such a thin steak. The potatoes were disappointing because they weren’t cheesy at all. Dessert was a molten cake with ice cream that was good but no runny chocolate. My drink was pretty good though and I ordered 2. It was a sugar rimmed lemon drop with a strawberry mash in it. I’ve forgotten the name. The place did have a great ambiance and if the food was better we’d definitely be back!

Desert Moon Palm Springs gets 10 stars for value and service. All the entrees come with a soup or salad. We had the wedge salad (generous portion, delicious) with the French onion soup (small, good). The Oso Bucco was impressive in presentation and also quite good. The poblano stuffed chicken breast came recommended and was well balanced with an avocado crema. Bread service was also included, which is almost unheard of in 2025. Overall a wonderful experience, tasty, and a great value!
Edit to add that our server, Adrian, recognized our anniversary (which we had noted in OpenTable). The waitstaff recognized this a few times, and threw in a free dessert. This touch really put the experience over the top!

This is a friendly, unique restaurant with the best price in town for a grilled filet mignon. At $45, it comes with a basket of fresh bread, real butter, as well as mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach . The chocolate cake will cap your fine dining experience.
Everyone here is very competent and engaging. Whoever does the hiring is doing a fine job

My server this evening was s winner among winners. Her name was IHTZHEEL (pronounced like “It’s eel,” if I got it right).
Although it was a cool night, I’ve sat on the patio because it’s so relaxing and because there Are beautiful torch like heaters That give off just the right amount of supplemental heat.
It’s a bit noisier on the patio so when I asked Ihtzeel to repeat something, I explained that I was hearing impaired , and that was the reason for my request. Ihtzeel responded in the nicest way possible. Without making me feel awkward in the slightest, she simply squatted down to my level, face fear, and spoke clearly and with a smile. She knew she didn’t have to shower, and her warm genuine nature conveyed that she was happy to do that.. Her easy, natural response allowed us to talk about dinner, drinks, and chocolate cake, Andy soft accommodation request was barely on the radar. Pretty ideal. Ihtzeel is a lovely person, and a most capable server.
That was my second visit. Seven or ten days before was my first visit. Again, I was dining alone (next year I’ll have a Valeentine, I just know it), and I had the same Filet Mignon, mashed potatoes, suateed spinach, and chocolate cake. It was just about closing so I was wild, and had a glass of wine. I had an outgoing, friendly and smiling Latin gentleman, who did a great job,, including recommending the chocolate cake to me. I regret that his name escapes me.
TThe dinner was mouth-watering good, and Ididn’t have a care in the world. TTjat is, until I reached into my pocket for my wallet to pay. My pocket was empty; the wallet wasn’t there. It wasn’t full-blown panic, but my mind and heart raced, and I didn’t know what to do. I wasn’t just dining alone, I really didn’t have anyone I could call who would pick up, drop everything, and be there tout suite with rescue money.
The chocolate cake jhad been ordered bit not yet served. In damage control effort, I told the server the pickle I was in. “At least hold onto the cake till I figure this out..Why add cake theft to the charges?
My server was very kind, and reassuring, “We’ll figure this out,” he assured me,” and while I scrolled Contacts for someone who woulld pick up. Ohh, II silently moaned. No one piicks up anymore.
Payment plan still unknown, my chocolate cake arrived anyway: an extra-large serving on an extra -large plate with drizzle on top and below. It was comfort food nouveau, and I have to say it helped. .
Less panicked , best efforts continued. Apple Pay wasn’t working, Google Pay wasn’t working, and not a contact was stirring who might save my night.
Enter the handsome and amazing gentleman named Alex, who Conley joined my special forces. I am not sure if Alex was the owner, the manager, or some other establishment professional. I am sure that he was my guardian angel that night. I’ll skip over the details in the interest of gravity and privacy, but with Alex at the helm, a solution was found, I returned to my earlier state of not a care oin the world, and I knew that I had just discovered my new favorite restaurant. You’ll probably like it, too.

Amazing!!! All around! The service was spot on without being annoying. The bread toasted and warm. Their chicken dish was top notch- and super creative! Tasty with great vegetables. And not just one stalk of green- a really good variety! The Thai curry was also amazing! It is a lot of food- we both took half of it home. We definitely be back and will recommend this place.
Oh- parking right outside on the street- super easy
