    We had our Valentine's Dinner with out of town friends at LuLu's. I'm so glad we picked LuLu's as our restaurant. The food and service were top notch. All of my friends enjoyed their meal. The restaurant had a violinist which made dining much more enjoyable and the restaurant was nicely decorated for Valentine's Day. I will definitely be returning for a meal in the near term. I highly recommend this restaurant and I have been a full time resident for over ten years now.

    A truly beautiful restaurant in the heart of downtown Palm Springs. It is much larger than I expected. Our dirty martinis were perfectly made and in generous glasses. The calamari was light breaded and tasty although the spicy marinara was too strong for my wife’s taste. Her salmon was cooked to perfection and my Cioppino was overall very good but most of my mussels did not open which was not so great. Desert was a chocolate torte which was one of the best restaurant deserts we have ever had. Overall an excellent Valentine’s Day dinner experience.

    Everything was splendid. Best schnitzel we’ve had in a long time. We didn’t care for our apple strudel but that could be just personal taste. But all in all, we will be back again.

    We had a wonderful experience at Miros. Everything from the moment we were seated to the food was on point. Our server, Grae was knowledgeable about the food and drinks. His recommendations were spot on and the food was not only presented beautifully, but was delicious! It was nice they pay attention to notes in our reservation and brought out a sundae for the birthday occasion. This is truly a gem of a place and being around for 30 years, I can understand many more years of success and delicious meals. Congrats and wishing you many more years!!! We will be making this a traditional place to dine whenever we are back in Palm Springs!
