4 Saints - Palm Springs

Beautiful space and the views from the balcony are the best in downtown Palm Springs. We came in for drinks and an appetizer before our dinner (at a different restaurant in town). Our drinks and small plate were delicious but our server seemed annoyed and displeased that we weren’t having a full meal. He insisted we order everything at once and when I told him we were only their for a cocktail hour I jokingly asked “is that okay with you?” And his response was “I guess it’s going to have to be.” He was super off putting and unwelcoming. While we were there we also experienced our server tell another wait staff member to “get rid of those people out” referring to a couple that was dining inside who walked out to the balcony to take a photos for sunset. The balcony was empty other than us and one other table of guests. (The inside was pretty dead too and this was on a Friday night). The views were really pretty but since the server had such a horrific attitude I don’t think we will come back anytime soon. We dine out a lot at all types of restaurants and have never had such an odd encounter with a server. Maybe get kinder humans to serve your guests and the restaurant will be full.

The space is beautiful. The food sounds interesting. But it does not work. None of us would have ordered the same food again. And unpolished is the most charitable way to describe the service what you might expect at a diner. Have a drink at the pool bar. Skip the restaurant.

Waited 20 min at the bar and never got our drink. People who came after us received theirs. Once seated our host was friendly. Food was great. View was very nice and the atmosphere was romantic. If it weren’t for no service in the bar area I’d give a better star rating. On a side note. We got to the hotel over an hour early. Decided to hangout at high bar in the meantime. Was told by front desk we’d have to go outside and around the building to their outside entrance. Take elevator up. Okay cool. To go to 4 saints we’d have to take the elevator back down, walk around outside the building, enter back into the lobby, and take the elevator up. Once entering 4 saints we noticed thru the glass doors that high bar was on the same floor and directly across from the restaurant. We didn’t need to go outside at all. Sort of a rude waste of time before the no service at the 4 saints bar.

The food was delicious we ordered a half chicken dish. However the decor was to draft everything very dark brown really dry. The lighting fixtures were drab. The seating up against the window which is not much to see but a hillside top.... however if they brought the seats down instead of having a high back that's all the way up to the window seal, it would allow you to look out the window. Definitely need soft lighting that hangs across the windows it would certainly brighten up the place. Change the window seating to a bright color like a mint green. I sense the restaurant is emulating old school 50's but Stuck ! Implementing a different color palette such as a soft mint green would greatly improved and brighten up the space (modern). Cause it's very dry! The outside looks inviting but it was too windy to go outside to enjoy it I like the rooftop idea. Bathrooms were clean. Getting back to plating the food, it could have looked a little better it was lacking some vava boom! Again the style remind you of drab 50s setting. Very much need a improved color palette! I realized it's hasn't been open long less than 5 years. Really really need to bring some color in that place! By the large windows there is only a reflection of the mountains when you're looking out and the inside it's not enough lighting around them. A strong suggestion It would be nice to light up the windows... it isn't a comfortable atmosphere to even enjoy a good date night with your partner. These things I speak of .... I noticed them so much I didn't feel comfortable. So that's one of the improvements I would love to see there. If they did decide to improve the restaurant decor I would love to come back! I wonder will this restaurant really read these reviews

This is a gorgeous restaurant located on the roof of the Kimpton Rowan. There aren 't many tables so I suggest making reservations. The food was good but the menu is very similar to many American cuisine restaurants in Palm Springs. The BEST dish was the persimmon carpaccio with goat cheese pictured). So, why the 3 stars? I had made a reservation for 7pm for a normal table not a hightop) at around 5pm the same day. When we got there, we were told all the tables are taken I guess people are just taking longer to finish dinner said the hostess) and that we should wait at the bar. We were at the bar less than 5 minutes before we were paged that our table was ready. They are not set up to transfer tabs from the bar to your table and we had to carry our own drinks across the restaurant to our table outdoors. At the same time, a few of the parties in booths left and I should have told her we would wait for those to be cleared. The table outdoor was halfway covered by a heater and the hightop was difficult for this 5 '2 person to get into and out of. Our table was also next to the server station and people were constantly coming past our table. Our Server was friendly which was a plus.
