    Excellent choice for special New Years Eve dinner. We went early to avoid crowds. Service and food was excellent. Very good selection of specialty cocktails and wine. I gave it 4 stars because we did not realize there was fixed price 99 per person menu. However the menu gave lots of choices and food was excellent. We would do it again.

    Absolutely fabulous!! Our first time there and we were thrilled!! From the moment we got there and saw the beautiful lit up restaurant, we knew we had chosen a great place. There’s a beautiful patio that in warmer times, we would love to sit out there. It was cozy with the fire place! Inside we were seated next to the indoor fireplace, which was just lovely with a Christmas tree right beside it.  Andy was fabulous as our server;very attentive and helpful with our selections. We are in Palm Desert visiting from Riverside and will certainly come back! The pork chop and crab pasta were delicious and the spring salad was so fresh and filling!! The calamari…the best!!!

    Enjoy this venue but once the food had been served the service disappears and wait for extras and bill was frustrating.

    My lamb was so tough I had to turn it back in. The replacement Scallops were very good. My wife's chicken was on a bed of squash risotto which had a bad taste.

    The hostess stand was a bit dysfunctional and came with some attitude but once we sat down our server was pleasant and the food was good.

    We started with the mixed green salad which was wonderful and I had the shortrib which was tender and well prepared. Not a fan of brussel sprouts but these were some of the best I've had. My husband had the freshwater lobster which was also very good. The location and ambiance is good except that the tables are too close together so we got to hear everyone's converstions. Overall, a very good experience.

    Our previous visit was outstanding! We were disappointed this time. Service was slow and inattentive. Scallop appetizer was complimentary because the scallops were tiny. Thank goodness for the ambience on the patio or this would be a 2 star rating!
