                        Prix-fix lunch is almost always perfect, & we dine here for lunch at least once a week. Food is reliably fresh & tasty, & the $31 set price includes soup or salad, dessert, coffee/tea, & bread. Service always comes with a friendly smile & is professional especially Lilliam, Michelle, & Alex. Highly recommended. Sit outdoors in the tree room; it's smart to reserve for lunch.

                        We started with the tuna tower which was excellent. The gazpacho with lobster was probably properly prepared but we didn’t really care for it. The Chilean sea bass was also good, but at $59, a bit pricey. Our server was helpful in making sure we had gluten free food. The atmosphere is a bit old club, but fine.

                        We always make sure to get reservations here when we visit the area. This is one of our favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. The patio has a very tranquil ambience, and the service is spectacular from the greeting by the hostess to our server and the others who support the dinner experience. The manu has many options and also supports a variety of gluten free choices. We will be back again.

                        Arrived early for our reservation. Had multiple tables in the central patio section empty. Asked for one of the empty tables. They were "reserved". Felt treated like a second class citizen. How does one "reserve" a certain table?
