    A wonderful new space, beautifully designed, with a terrace overlooking the surf pool. The food is spectacular and the staff exceedingly friendly. Especially enjoyed the arugula salad, with roasted Spanish peppers stuffed with goat cheese. The main of skirt steak and broccolini was perfectly cooked, and the pavlova for dessert was excellent.

    Great dinner! I like a place with a good menu and variety. We decided to sit at the bar- and had a wonderful dinner/HH - food was superb- we had the calamari, ahi cups and French dip! All was delicius and fresh! We got to enjoy a rainy evening at Kaiser! Service from the bartender was outstanding! Manager was also very pleasant on our way out. Can’t wait to be back!! It had been a while for me, but can’t forget about this Palm Springs staple- one of the originals on the strip!

    We had a wonderful experience at Miros. Everything from the moment we were seated to the food was on point. Our server, Grae was knowledgeable about the food and drinks. His recommendations were spot on and the food was not only presented beautifully, but was delicious! It was nice they pay attention to notes in our reservation and brought out a sundae for the birthday occasion. This is truly a gem of a place and being around for 30 years, I can understand many more years of success and delicious meals. Congrats and wishing you many more years!!! We will be making this a traditional place to dine whenever we are back in Palm Springs!

    As always, the food was tremendous! Starting with the Bavarian pretzel to the stuffed cabbage rolls and the vegetarian schnitzel the food always looks and tastes homemade. Add in staff that is always prompt and pleasant and they are always a can’t miss!
