Restaurants near Desert Highland Park

Food was delicious and patio was remarkably warm. DJ was very loud on a Saturday night (maybe to be expected) but not unbearably so. Omakase cocktails were a highlight as well as the tataki maki!

While we don’t frequent Tropicale, when we do “think” to visit the establishment we always say “We need to come here more often!”. The food and service is always excellent, awesome value for the money! And the atmosphere is always relaxed, inviting while still being just a touch up-scale. We enjoyed an evening of appetizers, cocktails and dinner; eight of us! Not one suggestion for improvement. To top it all off, everyone had smiles on their faces. We have promised ourselves to not let our memories lapse and more frequently take advantage of all Tropicale has to offer!! I could name two or three other local establishments, all on Palm Canyon, that draw locals (us) and visitors. Tropicale is FAR superior in every aspect. You won’t be disappointed. I strongly suggest reservations.

We stopped by Boozehounds in Palm Springs and had a delightful experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, festively decorated for the holidays, which added to the charm. We opted to sit at the bar and sampled a variety of dishes: the tuna tataki, hamachi crudo, tteokbokki, vegan wurst, and mango delight. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared with vibrant flavors that impressed across the board. The wine selection complemented the meal perfectly, making it an excellent culinary experience. While the service was slower than expected, the friendly atmosphere and quality of the food more than made up for it. Boozehounds is a great addition to the Palm Springs dining scene—perfect for those looking for flavorful dishes in a lively yet cozy setting. Highly recommend for anyone visiting PS!

We enjoyed our meal very much, we were disappointed there wasn’t a holiday special (turkey dinner, or similar) as in the past. Our server was wonderful.

How wonderful it was to spend this Christmas Eve with special friends at Eight4Nine. A true treasure in the desert. Food, service and ambiance just perfect! Our server Sean was on it. He couldn’t have been more welcoming and efficient. Eight4Nine you are loved by so many. Thank you for the marvelous times and memories!
