My spouse and I went to Freddie's Kitchen on 11/11/26, based off of Google Reviews. I'm so glad we did. The restaurant is a very small, intimate and unassuming part of the Cole, a boutique hotel. In fact the restaurant is almost like an expanded living room, art on the wall, warm, well - lit room but not overly bright. In fact there is a couch and coffee table at the end of the room. Online someone said no reservations are needed but I would make one just in case due to the small size. We stood in the entrance for possibly a minute before someone emerged from the kitchen, saying they would be right with us. We soon learned that was Marco. Not only is he the host but he doubles as a server as well! In fact, there were only three employees: Marco, Freddie the chef and Dustin (I hope I got his name right because he seemed in charge of the cocktails and ours was a revelation). It was interesting the way all three pivoted from kitchen to dining room to the bar which is actually a separate building 20' or so across from the restaurant. Dustin made the drinks, but also served and bussed tables. Despite the small operation, they clearly had a system that worked and it was evident that everyone loves what they do. Marco was a wealth of information on the menu, offering suggestions, his personal favorites and history of the restaurant. Now on to the food! We both took Marco's suggestion and tried Le Citron de la Maison. The cocktail was light, refreshing and straddled the line between bitter and sweet perfectly. The drinks were quickly followed by a baguette and butter while we waited for our appetizer. I had the Soup de Poissons. My husband had the French Onion soup. My husband said that he thoroughly enjoyed his soup. My soup was the second revelation of the evening. Marco explained that a dollop of creamy aioli is placed in the center of the tomato based soup for presentation but should be stirred in before enjoying. To say that the aioli elevated the soup would be an understatement. I truly savored every spoonful. Our entrées were the Black Cod with eel sauce and the Duck Magret with a cherry based sauce. I was assured that the cod did indeed melt in your mouth as Marco promised and the duck was (it will sound corny but I'm going to say it anyway because it was true) divine. The cherry sauce mixed with the natural sauce of the duck was well matched. The French Ventoux wine paired well with my duck. For dessert we had a Crème Brule served in a banana boat. My husband made quick work of that! I had the Panna Cotta, based off of Marco's description of it. I admit that I was a bit underwhelmed by its unassuming appearance but all doubt was removed by the first bite. Thank you Marco for being the perfect host. Thank you Freddie for being an artist in the kitchen - and working the room to see how your diners were enjoying meal. And thank you Dustin (?) for being a mixologist extraordinaire. We will definitely be back and will definitely spread the word. If like us, you have spent your time eating in DT Palm Springs almost exclusively, do yourself a favor and travel to Freddie's Kitchen at the Cole in the north end. You will not be disappointed! PS. I feel a tug of guilt for not taking photos to share but I'm part of the generation that feels that the dining experience is best when the phone is left in your pocket.

Best place to eat I’ve been in years ! Great food amazing service great prices!

Freddies Kitchen at the Cole is a fantastic spot with a welcoming atmosphere and a relaxed vibe. The menu looks inviting, and the overall setting makes it a great place to enjoy a meal with friends or family. The location is convenient, and the experience is perfect for anyone looking for a comfortable dining spot in Palm Springs. Definitely worth a visit!

Cute little spot with great authentic French food. Definitely worth a try.

Decided to try this place out based on the menu. Pulled up to this restaurant and motel and it didn't look like much from the outside and hardly any cars. It looked closed but it was open and we decided to try it. We were not disappointed. Chef Freddie is engaged with every table and (Dustin?)was amazing and attentive. We had the escargot, wild mushroom streudel, elk medallions and the cod. Everything was perfect! Definitely check this place out. Not your average restaurant or menu. Exceptional experience.

We had a great dinner - we were here for work and had the miso cod and seared tombo ahi and it was fantastic. Bread was killer and our server and chef provided fantastic service! Come here you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic meal and service thank you for having me in!

Freddies Kitchen at the Cole is a true hidden gem in Palm Springs. The chef greeted us at the door and made us feel like family right away. Our server, Marco, was warm, friendly, and very helpful. We started our meal with classic French starters: the soupe de poisson and the French onion soup. The entrees were the absolute stars of the night. We ordered the peppered elk medallions and the miso black cod. The energy and vibe of the restaurant are fantastic. We loved every minute and will definitely be back!

I was staying at the Cole and had to check in through the bar. We decided to have drinks before going into the pool. Marco was our bartender and he was amazing! So helpful and friendly, can pour strong drinks. We had so much fun!!🤩
