We had lunch outside near the pool and corn hole game and think we need to go back and try the actual restaurant.
We had the wedge salad and the margherita pizza. Both were ok and we like the plant forward concept. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching folks and their pups by the pool.
We had a nice time and we’d like to go back so I can up the review.
We had an early dinner at Minerva's after a long day of travel and the restaurant exceeded our (already high) expectations. The food was excellent and creative, and the service by Bee was outstanding. We'll be back.
Dinner at Minerva’s restaurant was a five star plus experience!
Bee, our waitress, was amazing. She set a new bar for me on how good the wait staff in a restaurant can be.
The food was an example of how a meal can be delicious, delightful, and healthy.
We shared the “roasted Sunchokes salad”, and the two entrees. “Cauliflower muhammara”, and the “M. Smash burger “.
It’s very rare for a restaurant to not go wrong with a single thing in the course of a meal. The timeliness and grace of service, the excellence of the ingredients and the preparation, and the friendliness of the atmosphere. They nailed them all. My wife pointed out that it is very rare for a restaurant to get both the vegetarian and the non-vegetarian dishes just right.
Well done Team. I only hope you can sustain this. I know you are new, but it will break my heart if I come back and find that all this has slipped.
Note: There are no signs for Minerva’s that are visible from the street. You have to drive into the hotel’s parking lot and then, a not very visible sign on the restaurant door might catch your eye.
The remodeled Minerva’s brings back old Palm Springs flare. The hidden restaurant is cozy and has a great flair. We sat at the bar and the drinks were fantastic. I definitely recommend the veggie-based dishes since that’s what they’re known for. The cucumber salad with roe was incredible. I also loved the sunchokes. The burger patty felt microwaved and was dry I don’t recommend the burger. Overall I would go back for drinks and a few vegetable snacks.

Beautiful experience. The decor and ambiance is soothing, gorgeous and relaxing. Made for a great date night. The plant friendly food was tasty and delicious. They offer a few protein main course options which were satisfying and delicious. A definite must try at this quaint new restaurant.
