Once of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs is Copleys on Palm Canyon. Situated in the former Cary Grant estate, Copley's features "contemporary American cuisine" with an unusual twist. They make many of their dishes using fresh herbs grown in the garden on premises. With appetizers such as Hawaiian Ahi Tacos, Roasted Butternut Squash Soup and Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli, it is easy to be lulled into a state of bliss. Some of my favorite entrees include Prosciutto Wrapped Muscovy Duck Breast, Lobster Pot Pie, Macadamia Nut Crusted Mahimahi and Tandoori Breast of Chicken. They have a marvelous wine list, fantastic desserts and terrific service. Juliana and Greg (co-owners) are marvellous hosts. Together with Chef Andrew Copley they make guests feel welcome and like Ohana (that's Hawaiian for "family"). Next time you are in Palm Springs, be sure to stop by Copley's and enjoy one of the best meals money can buy.
