Los Angeles Times celebrates Palm Springs’ Melvyn’s restaurant on front page! We’re so lucky that the last, great classic dining restaurant in the desert, with its top notch seasoned staff, remains for us to enjoy. Here’s to Steak Diane flamed table side!!

About Peter Moruzzi
Born in Concord, Massachusetts and raised in Hawaii, Moruzzi graduated from the University of California at Berkeley and later attended the American Film Institute in Los Angeles. In 1999, he founded the Palm Springs Modern Committee (PS ModCom) an architectural preservation group.
Melvyn’s is great! I find myself in Palm Springs about once a year or so. Whenever I make it back to Melvyn’s, I plan to do a little write up for my new blog.
The tradition of tableside flambee dishes seems to be slowly fading away, unfortunately. I think that if you go to a place that offers such items, you should definitely order them. It’s a wonderful experience that takes you back several decades.
I’ve seen some comments on other sites that dismiss this kind of presentation as just some tired, fuddy-duddy ostentation. But I say, if I’m going to drop $85 on dinner, a drink and a dessert, the meal better come with a show, too!
