    Cobb with shrimp
    Jerry H.

    This restaurant has a big pool side patio. Service is nice and friendly. Their burgers are good and always a solid choice. The chicken sandwich needs a napkin on the bottom to avoid soggy bread. Some burgers were over cooked but overall it was good. Their salads were tasty especially when you add protein like shrimp.

    Excellent place for family dinner after a day at the pool. The service, cleanliness and staff are excellent. The menu is very simple and has lots of options for everyone. The staff is very friendly with everyone as you walk in. We will definitely return .

    My family and I came here for a weekend staycation and decided to dine here for breakfast and we were happy with our choice! I did see some reviews online about a breakfast buffet but it didn't state anywhere on their website about it. When we arrived they told us about the buffet and it was $33 per person and my son (age 2) ate for free. My husband and I both opted for that and we enjoyed the omelette bar made fresh to order and the juice bar where you can make yourself a fresh pressed juice! There were other options like pancakes, waffles, even smoked salmon with bagels, & the standard hot breakfast items. All the waitresses were so nice! They even walked around handing out fresh smoothies. Overall enjoyed our experience here and would dine again next time we come!

    Burger was good. Fries were pretty oily for being sweet potato fries. Also saw another order and my fries were def have of the serving as well. Server was nice but service was a bit slow.

    The omelette MAVEN!!!!

    Spoiler Alert: This'll sound like fangirling, but its 99% about the staff - so that's how this review will go... Ashly & Ruby are so guest oriented & driven, I fear they don't know about the amazing & beautiful impact they have upon human, ultimately. These teammates have greeted myself & my partner with grace, warmth & a genuine i interest in how we're enjoying our holiday. Ruby will make anything happen for my girl & Ashly covers my deceit/surprises like a true wingman - and hey, that's all I need, frankly?, amiright? These guys + the whole mischpucha absolutely form a constellation of twinkling & shining stars, making this lil' Jewess's Christmas extra special, bright, magical & oh-so-delish! ps: um... DO YOU EVEN OMELETTE?! ...I'm moving in.

    I did not expect the food to be as good as they tasted (Sorry! I hope this doesn't offend the restaurant). As there are not many competitors in the area, I just assumed less. Families - You should try Cava especially if you are staying at the hotel. All $10 with side of fries and a drink. The serving size is same as regular size. I will be back on my next trip to Dessert.

    Food was decent, service was awful. Friendly but... the place was empty and our server was no where to be found! He took our order, someone else served it and then no one ever checked on us!? Servers! When it's slow...don't forget about your one table!! What a joke! Had to call out "excuse me?" just to get more water from a lady who was doing side work. We also asked if they served bread and they said "yes ok I'll get you some" and never came? So we asked again and then they brought it out about 5 minutes later. Than half way thru our meal another bus boy I think? Brought bread out...? Zero communication clearly. Then when our food was almost gone our server came and checked on us. Really? Goodness! Pull it together! A lovely resort for sure but sadly a clueless restaurant staff! I do not recommend eating here! Go over to the bar "My Place" in the lobby. You'll get good food and excellent service!

The wood and green earth tones make it feel like a cozy living room in the desert. The service was very attentive from the moment we walked in. We had a reservation, arrived 15 minutes early and they were able to seat us immediately. Our waitress was very kind and helpful with recommendations from the menu. The drinks were delicious and very well balanced. We had the meatballs, Miso Chilean Sea bass, chicken Pollard, kids salmon and steak. The kids ate everything. It was our daughter's birthday and they brought us out a beautiful treat for her so we could sing Happy Birthday. Highly recommended! Thank you for a beautiful experience!

It clearly caters to a sophisticated crowd--very similar in vibe to their Calabasas location. While parking is accessible in the rear, it can get congested during peak season. The menu is extensive with plenty of excellent selections, though the pricing is definitely premium. For instance, a Cobb salad topped with fish can easily exceed $45; while the quality is high, that's a significant jump over nearby staples like Daily Grill. Service was friendly but lacked consistency; our server disappeared mid-meal without a hand-off, requiring us to flag down other staff. Overall, it's a bright, airy, and stylish spot well worth a visit, provided you're prepared for the 'luxury' price point.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

I'll consider rewriting the review another time, again. One star given by the goodness of the food, which is mostly an ingredient thing. We serve three of these dishes at my work, so it's honestly not mind blowing or anything, of course. We did vegan options.

While the food was great, the service disappointed me greatly. When we were seated we were asked for drink orders and when we said we needed a second to decide our server left. this normally wouldn't be an issue except for the fact that she left us for around 30 minutes. when she came back we decided it would be easier to order it all at once. it then took another 30 minutes to get our drinks, and even more time for our food. When appetizers came out all of us were shocked that we did not receive plates. She brought them over later, but by that time we were finished with our appetizer. All in all the food, the view, and the place was very nice, I just wish that they could improve their service a tad bit.

Our original seafood plan fell through (fully booked, of course, because that's how these things go), so we pivoted last minute. Expectations were...moderate. What we got? A full-on flavor win. First things first: the coconut shrimp. Order it. Don't discuss it. Just do it. Crispy, sweet, a little tropical magic--gone way too fast. Then came the blackened mahi mahi tacos...wow. The kind of "close your eyes mid-bite" good. And the crab cakes? I actually felt a little emotional taking that last bite. No shame. The real plot twist, though? The kids. Our notoriously picky eaters didn't just tolerate the food--they enjoyed it. Like, voluntarily ate it. Parents, you know how rare that is. The vibe struck that sweet spot too--dimly lit and relaxed, with a breezy island feel that somehow still worked for a family night out. I was half expecting to feel out of place with kids in tow, but it couldn't have been more welcoming. The staff was warm, attentive, and made the whole experience easy. So yeah, what started as a backup plan turned into one of those unexpectedly great nights. Safe to say we'll be back--this time on purpose.
