    Great meal, great service. Enjoyable evening with friends for a birthday dinner however we felt it was just a bit pricey, especially since most dishes were à la carte. This doesn't mean to be a negative about the quality of the restaurant, service or food, but be prepared if cost is a concern. Open table lists this as "$30 and under" which was completely inaccurate - we should have read the menu more deeply to understand what the meal was really going to cost

    I have been missing out! I have been going to Palm Springs for decades and had no idea this amazing gem had been downtown for 20+ years. The ambience, food, drinks, service all amazing! We loved it so much we went back for breakfast for bottomless mimosas! I cannot wait to go back!

    A great experience from start to finish . A special shout out to Isabelle and Claudia The Zin Bites are delicious. The oysters were fresh and tender. The cheesecake was a wonderful end to a perfect meal.

    It’s just bang average. I don’t understand all the rave reviews. There’s so many amazing restaurants in PS that are off the beaten track where you can get better food for the same price. It was just ok.

    the ambiance of the dining room nook by the wine room is quite charming! there is a good amount of food for vegetarians to eat and food was adequate. Excellent craft cocktails and great location in terms of wandering around downtown Palm Springs.

    Great service, food was cold, yet flavorful. Resturant is noisy, but nothing out of the ordinary. We will be back.
