		What the Media is Saying...   Scroll down to see "What Our Customers Are Saying"   The Washington Post "Outside or Inside" that's how guests are greeted at the front door of Copley's On Palm Canyon.  I opt for a ceiling of stars and a curtain of mountains at this romantic restaurant.  The chef knows his clientele, 80 percent of them from the area, want to see tuna tartare on the menu, yet he packages the commonplace appetizer in a fresh way, splashing the dewy cubes of fish with a lime dressing tucking them inside miniature "taco" shells made with sesame seeds, miso and ginger.   House-made ravioli gets a filling of roasted butternut squash flavored with honey and garlic; the silky pasta, garnished with a foamy chardonnay butter sauce, sits on gratineed goat cheese. Herbs from the garden lend lushness to one of Copley's best conclusions: lavender infused pound cake with basil ice cream, the flavors in each identifiable but used with restraint so as not to overwhelm diners' taste buds.   EVERYDAY with Rachel Ray  HIT-THE-SPOT SOUPS - The Spot, Movie buffs make a pilgrimage to Copley's On Palm Canyon because its Cary Grant's former estate, but regulars like it because of the garden-party atmosphere and the tasty, tropical-inspired food.  The chilled asparagus-and-sweet pea soup, available in the spring and summer, is a blend of asparagus and sweet peas, accompanied by flash-fried Maine lobster.   HOSPITALITY ACHIEVEMENT AWARD - Restaurateur of the year January 28, 2010 - The Palm Springs Desert Resort Communities Convention and Visitors Authority recently named Copley's On Palm Canyon the 2009 Coachella Valley's Restaurateur of the year.  The Hospitality Achievement Awards recognized restaurateurs, hoteliers, and hospitality business owners throughout the desert community who were nominated by peers to receive the honor.    The New York Times FRIEND OF THE HOUSE / Most of the favored area restaurants have an old-school vibe: tuxedoed waiters, a headwaiter who has worked there since opening day and steak-and-lobster specialties. Though the six-year-old Copley's on Palm Canyon (621 North Palm Canyon Drive; 760-327-9555; might not have the culinary history of nearby Melvyn's Restaurant and Lounge, which opened as an inn in 1935, it has a different sort of storied past - it's housed in what was once Cary Grant's estate - and food that incorporates 21st-century flavors (the spring menu included dishes like a duck and artichoke salad with goat cheese, edamame and litchi; $12).
