My fiancé and I had a lovely dinner celebrating our engagement last night. It was our first time dining here and the atmosphere was beautiful. They tried the duck, and I had the sesame tofu. Both dishes were amazing. The nutty espresso martini was also delicious. Our server was very friendly and attentive. We will definitely be coming back here for special occasions.

While we don’t frequent Tropicale, when we do “think” to visit the establishment we always say “We need to come here more often!”. The food and service is always excellent, awesome value for the money! And the atmosphere is always relaxed, inviting while still being just a touch up-scale. We enjoyed an evening of appetizers, cocktails and dinner; eight of us! Not one suggestion for improvement. To top it all off, everyone had smiles on their faces. We have promised ourselves to not let our memories lapse and more frequently take advantage of all Tropicale has to offer!! I could name two or three other local establishments, all on Palm Canyon, that draw locals (us) and visitors. Tropicale is FAR superior in every aspect. You won’t be disappointed. I strongly suggest reservations.

Food was delicious and patio was remarkably warm. DJ was very loud on a Saturday night (maybe to be expected) but not unbearably so. Omakase cocktails were a highlight as well as the tataki maki!

We were seated at a very nice table in the main courtyard and the ambiance was so lovely. Our server was top notch both in his friendliness and skills, they don't come much better than this. The only glitch is my husband's food came and when he took a couple of bites he realized it wasn't what he ordered as there was no chicken and large shrimp in the pasta, plus he thought it was supposed to be a different pasta. They quickly changed out his meal and brought the correct one super fast and all was good. My dinner was salmon, a very nice large piece with very large delicious asparagus and coconut/pineapple jasmine rice. It turns out that it was way too sweet for me but the salmon wasn't flavored with it, only the rice plus there was more sauce to add to the salmon, which I didn't. I wouldn't order it again unless I could just get the whole meal seasoned nicely with no fruit flavoring (I personally like a Thai coconut flavor so thought I would like this too but the added pineapple flavor didn't work for me so the rice was the only part that I didn't finish. We didn't stay for dessert as we were off for drink somewhere else but we will look forward to dining there again when we are in town - it was really nice and very special. This restaurant knows how to treat their customers very well.

How wonderful it was to spend this Christmas Eve with special friends at Eight4Nine. A true treasure in the desert. Food, service and ambiance just perfect! Our server Sean was on it. He couldn’t have been more welcoming and efficient. Eight4Nine you are loved by so many. Thank you for the marvelous times and memories!
