    Unfortunately the food was very bland, lacking sauces when stated on the menu. Our waiter didn’t seem to be paying much attention when we were speaking or was very easily confused.

    We were seated almost immediately, which was wonderful service from the hostess staff. The selection of food was great, although the pizza oven was broken and they were out of some of their most popular items. Even outside, the ability to talk was tricky with my elderly dad. It was good nonetheless, and maybe we’ll try again with a different group.

    Worst food possible, my salad was drenched then served in an inch deep soup of dressing. The Bloody Mary tasted awful, I think it was made with catchup! The restaurant is filthy and smells like sewage and grease interceptor gas. Save your time and money and walk further away from tourist central. I will say their cotton candy was warm and fresh.

    Food was such a great value for brunch. Can’t beat $10 for 3 mimosas! $30 for yummy 3-course brunch. The service was great and the atmosphere was SO FUN. Such a great vibe and beautiful restaurant. I will come back next time I vacation in Palm Springs for sure!

    There were 2 very noisy small dogs barking every time someone walked by. Very distracting and difficult to visit. Our server was very good!

    Had never tried this spot but it’s in such great spot with a good patio so we wanted to give it a go. We WON’T be going back. Food was terribly subpar. They had a Brunch “deal” with 3 courses. We did that and it was a weird combination of things on the menu for Brunch we felt. We both had the Traditional Benedict and it was really bad, no flavor and seemed not fresh at all. Definitely pre-made frozen tasting. One of us had the Calamari appetizer had part of our Brunch 3 courses and he found a hair on his plate. I had the Chocolate Cake as the dessert on my Brunch deal and it was frozen still and found some sort of plastic or stick of something inside the cake. NOT GOOD. We wanted to love this spot on it its location but it will not be on our list again. Do better guys!
