    Very friendly staff-communicated that our table was still being occupied at our reservation time. We appreciated that they let us know and we didn’t mind waiting for what was just a few minutes. Food was excellent. Enjoyed the special date/apple/arugula/goat cheese salad-very lite and fresh. Loved the seafood cocktail in a martini glass. Schnitzel was excellent and toppings were great accompaniments. Salmon was cooked perfectly and the rest of the plate was delicious as well. Really loved the warm strawberry bread pudding. Delightful meal. Can’t wait to return.

    Appetizers and main dishes were delicious and service was excellent. Desserts were fairly good but did not live up to the other dishes

    Top quality food and service- likely the best high end restaurant in the valley. The wine list is particularly impressive, with some very unique, well priced options.

    We were attracted by the schnitzel menu but as we parked my husband regretted there was no goulash on the menu. As luck would have it goulash was a special that evening so he had the goulash. Splendid

    The food was prepared exceptionally well, the waiter was excellent as well, the water server which is typical in Palm Springs was inattentive at best as well had to ask twice for water while he wasn’t busy doing anything which the waiter took care of quickly. Host was a bit stuffy but with class I suppose. Definitely would eat there again.

    I appreciated that I could order schnitzel Gluten free - no breading - but it was a little dry. Presentation was lovely but place could use some updating.

    Very good food, beautiful space, wait staff that is there to help when you need them, not when they need you! Aren't we lucky to have this 25 year old restaurant in Palm Springs!
