Livs Palm Springs

This is an absolutely fabulous place to have a meal! The parking is easy (covered garage or lot to right in front of it on the right side of the museum) and the staff and food made for a great experience. We love the space with the bright welcoming colors and the option to sit inside and outside. When I booked in June and saw that there was patio seating I thought “who would sit outside!?” but then when we went down into the patio space it was cool and lovely even on a very hot day. We did end up sitting inside, which was very comfortable. The food had great portions, at first we thought they were small, but they were just the right size. All the cocktails and drinks we had were delicious and the server was very kind to work with us on making sure we knew what vegan options were available for one of our party. We love that you didn’t have to buy a museum ticket to dine but it got us thinking about how much we want to visit the museum anyway! Will definitely be here again and look forward to even dining on a night of village fest.

I find few things more exciting than an art museum cafe and Liv’s is very much my new favorite. My husband and I were able to drop in while in town during their opening weekend and were treated like royalty by the fabulous owner. The service, food, wine and aesthetics were all perfection. Pro tip: wine and an app in the sculpture garden. Cheers!

Such a beautiful setting to enjoy a delicious and satisfying lunch. The ambiance filled with light and beautifully decorated. The staff was welcoming and inviting. Each dish was perfectly presented, mouthwatering and packed with delicious goodness. A beautiful addition to the Valley. We will definitely be back for more. Thank you Gabriel Woo for another awesome addition to the Valley cuisine.

Wow Palm Springs. This cafe is running to the top of the eat out in CA list. The restaurant is right in the Palm Springs Art Museum and boy oh boy is it a winner. Who doesn’t love a chef owned restaurant. I had the pancakes, imagine a whole new gourmet approach to the simple pancake. Imagine dining right next to a Henry Moore sculpture outside on a stunning patio full of art? Yes yes yes run don’t walk and try the newest world class dining bistro in the desert resort of Palm Springs. Art, ambiance, fab food, the chef’s wife is a doll and the food is BEST IN TOWN. I obviously want everyone to try this place! It’s fantastic!!!

Cute little spot with excellent food and service. I appreciated how they took common food items and added a spin that took it to the next level. Would definitely recommend, esp if you are coming to visit the museum. (Photo- missing some fries bc I didn't think to take a photo until after I ate a few lol)

Great food, friendly staff, and outstanding service. You don't have to pay for the museum if you don't want to visit. Enter and exit by the side (North). The Tuna Melt and Lobster Roll were very good as well as the best Guac & Chips around.

My boyfriend and I decided to take the drive out to sunny Palm Springs to have lunch at Livs located at the Palm Springs Art Museum. Everything was phenomenal! We arrived around 1pm and was seated right away on their patio, our server Giselle greeted us right away and recommended us some amazing cocktails. We had the Mai Tai and their Margarita both were delicious. For food we ordered the Lobster roll which was amazing and had a generous portion of lobster. My boyfriend had the chicken curry sandwich and my daughter ordered the Livs Burger which I must say was one of the best burgers I’ve ever had! We finished it off with some chocolate chip cookies, and a cherry almond latte made with their house made syrup and it was delicious!! Afterwards we took a stroll around the museum because it was family day and they had arts and crafts/activities for the kids which was a fun way to spend our Sunday! I definitely can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu! Livs is such a hidden gem in Palm Springs and definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area! Highly recommend

The environment of this restaurant is absolutely beautiful, complemented by a thoughtfully curated menu. From the moment we arrived, the staff was incredibly attentive, welcoming, and eager to make us feel comfortable. Our waiter, Matt, was exceptional—he knew the menu inside out and made the most incredible recommendations. ASK FOR MATT! Now, the food! Wow. The meat and cheese plate was the perfect portion size—so filling, fresh, and flavorful. Every bite was a delight. The patio is gorgeous, offering a serene ambiance that truly transports you. It feels like you’ve left Palm Springs behind and entered a peaceful getaway. Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to enjoy both great food and a tranquil atmosphere.
