The bartender immediately introduced himself, asked our names, and made us feel like regulars five minutes in. Big Cheers energy here. The crowd skewed more 50 yrs old+ locals, everyone posted up at the bar, chatting, laughing, clearly comfortable in their spot. Drinks are well-priced, no nonsense, and they've got karaoke if you're feeling brave (or just want the entertainment). I can already tell this would be a great spot to catch a football game or any sporting event--laid back, fun, and zero pretension. All in all, exactly what a bar should be. I liked it, I'd definitely be back, and I'm already planning my next visit.

He was left bleeding while the bouncer and staff stood by and did nothing. No attempt to help and no concern for safety. This is not just a bad experience. It is an unsafe and poorly run environment. I would never recommend Neil's Lounge to anyone who values basic safety.

The visuals immediately capture you as you walk in, creating a welcoming atmosphere from the start. The service staff was very friendly and knowledgeable about the menu, and the drinks made by the bartender were excellent. The food did not disappoint either. We started with the garlic parmesan wings, which were incredibly flavorful and a great way to begin the meal. Next, we had the Caesar salad and the BBQ chicken pizza. The Caesar salad portion was huge, easily enough for two people and probably even enough to share among four. The BBQ chicken pizza was absolutely delicious and a standout dish for us. I want to give a special shout-out to Carlos and the food runner working tonight. He was very friendly and made a point to check on us as he passed by to make sure everything was good. In my opinion, that kind of attentiveness is what separates average service from seasoned food and beverage professionals. For dessert, we ordered the churros, which had an amazing filling that instantly hooked us. Our 3- and 5-year-old also enjoyed their kids' meals, and the fact that each kids' meal includes a sundae was a great touch. We can't wait to return, this is definitely a spot worth trying

The place was relatively quiet with several people enjoying themselves at the bar. We opted to sit in the comfy lounge chairs overlooking the breathtaking scenery of mountains and blue skies. We had eaten dinner earlier in the casino and since I had a sweet craving, I ordered an Espresso Martini. It definitely satisfied my craving. It was a TREAT! The bartender informed us that live music is showcased on Thursdays, Fridays & Saturdays. We decided to return to Thursday Night Rock Show featuring HWY 111. We actually met vocalist Niki Bente in the elevator on our way to Twelve! She was very friendly and personable. Niki Bente also preforms with Twisted Gypsy whom we had the pleasure of seeing at the Rock Yard on Saturday night. Rocking Show!!! HWY 111 was very entertaining as I danced the night away! The place was lively, filled with people having a great time. It proved to be a wonderful experience! I thoroughly enjoyed two different specialty cocktails from the menu. The bartenders are attentive and offer a choice of complimentary almonds with or without salt. Whether you're looking for a quieter place to enjoy a cocktail or two and take in the beautiful views or you prefer to Rock Out with live music, Twelve is the place to choose! I will definitely return to Twelve when I visit California in the future!

Since I'm not much of a gambler, I figured why not walk in and donate my yearly $20 to the slot machines Parking was super easy right up front, and they also have a garage that leads directly into the casino. The front door security guard was really friendly too, he laughed when I told him, "I'm just here to give away my $20, I'll see you in 2 seconds." And honestly... I wasn't lying I put my $20 in, lost it immediately, and was back out in about .2 seconds. That said, it was still a fun little experience. The casino itself felt clean, quaint, and easy to navigate. Definitely a nice stop if you want to stretch your legs, play a little for fun, and get back on the road. Just maybe keep it to a small amount... at least that's my strategy Stop in for the stretch but leave your wallet and purse in the car and only take in an amount you won't cry over if you lose.

This review is just for the FREE 3-day overnight RV parking:…read more Most Casino's these days are NO longer allowing RV overnight parking unless you are renting one of their rooms, which makes sense to some.... However, this Casino is the few who are still friendly and allow a 24/48/72 hours passes you get at the Security window that you place on your RV window as they do have visible Tribe Police Officers along with Armed Gunman Security inside as well ..... Strong Team that makes this Parking lots of RV's Mixed with lots of Semi's feel adventurous as well ..... Highly recommend this for a 3-day pit-stop.... P.S They have a 24-hours Cafe inside ..... Will be Reviewing it Next time for you guys

The Tack Room slapped a 2% "kitchen fee" on our entire tab -- which was almost entirely drinks, plus a whopping $14 of food. When I questioned it, our waitress pulled the classic move: wide eyes, "I don't even know what that is," and blamed it on the kitchen. The kitchen. For drinks. Here's the thing -- you work there. That fee doesn't materialize out of thin air. Either you know about it and you're deflecting, or management is hiding charges from their own staff so customers get surprised at checkout. Neither one is a good look. A kitchen fee implies a kitchen was heavily involved in your experience. Ours wasn't. We were essentially charged a surcharge for the existence of a room we barely used. No accountability. No transparency. No reason to go back. The Tack Room managed to make a bad night worse with a sneaky line item and a server who suddenly had amnesia when it was time to explain it. Skip it. There are plenty of places that will take your money honestly.

The menu might be considered small however plenty of excellent choices for everyone's palate. We started with martinis Aviation gin for me & Ketel 1 for my hubs complete with bleu cheeses olives served tall & verrry cold. Our appetizer choice, the deep fried artichokes served with a creamy tasty aioli nicely presented however a bit over salted for our tastes, hence the 4.5 vs 5 stars. We came in to Italica wanting pasta the Bolognese with wild boar/fennel sausage arrived practically overflowing from the bowl, easily could have served 2 or possibly an appetizer to share at the table. My choice the Spaghetti Alio Olio presented bucatini pasta with bread crumbs & pecorino cheese ~ OOOOH MY, sooooo DELICIOUS my bowl was inhaled. Mid meal we ordered the prosciutto ~ fig jam flatbread just perfection the jam adding sweetness in every crunchy bite. To full from our appetizer & pasta we skipped dessert this trip but we'll be back!!!!!! as the drive to Indio from Palm Desert is maybe 30 min (+\~) easy & plentiful FREE PARKING be sure to look for the all stainless patchwork door for entry, once inside relax & enjoy the vibe.

Our server, Joel, was very hospitable and attentive. We went on a Friday early evening. The atmosphere is very relaxing. Several patrons were at the bar as well as at several tables. My Aunt & I shared a leisurely meal which included three appetizers and a caesar salad. Our server informed us of the option to order a 1/2 portion of the salad. It was a good choice. All the appetizers were very tasty especially the three different sauces that accompanied the hot wings: Jalapeño bbq, Blue Cheese & Avocado Ranch. I highly recommend POM Restaurant and look forward to returning again.

It was pretty good though, and I like how they put the marinara sauce at the bottom For entrées we got the rotisserie chicken and the Latin surf and turf. The rotisserie chicken was cooked well and the steak was good. The lobster however, was Baja lobster and that is neither my preference for my husband's but we did eat it with the steak and it was fine. The mashed potatoes were good that came with the rotisserie chicken. The rice and beans that came with the steak and lobster were pretty good. For dessert we got the mango cheesecake and the apple pie à la mode. Overall, we enjoyed ourselves. We enjoyed the exceptional service by the food runner and water refill guy ....didn't get his name. He was fairly new. Our server was fine as well. We didn't see him much we saw the guy serving the water and bread more and he took great care of us. The restaurant is really DARK inside. Needed to use my flashlight a few times.
