    Beautiful view of the mountains and golf course from the restaurant. Smoked salmon plate was quite large and very good. Avocado toast was also very delicious. Service was excellent.

    I celebrated my birthday with brunch on the patio overlooking the beautiful mountains. My husband and I had delicious meals paired with mimosas. Our server was phenomenal and surprised me with a dessert! It was such a beautiful restaurant. 10/10

    Overall it was a great experience. Our meals were well prepared and flavorful. I had the filet and it was perfectly cooked. The potatoes were delicious. The asparagus was a little too crisp for my taste, but much better than if it had been overcooked. The red pepper bisque was also perfect. The only issue is that the renovation eliminated all fabrics except for the flooring and the space got so loud it was Jared to hear the people we were seated with. We got desert to go because we couldn’t hear.

    The food and service were excellent. The pulled pork sandwich tasted as if it came out of the kitchen of a Southern BBQ joint. The chocolate pot (for dessert) was superb! If in Palm Springs, would definitely recommend putting this on your dining list.
