Restaurants near Hi-Desert Nature Museum

Tropicale is one of Palm Springs, California's most popular restaurants & rightly so. Dining there is like dining in the days of Sinatra & all the movie stars who once considered Palm Springs their playground. Be sure to ask for Richard to be your server.

We originally had a table reserved for the outdoor patio but the hostess with the fabulous glittery skirt was kind enough to seat at the bar. I was happy with either one as it was a beautiful night. The two guys behind the bar were professional, prompt and energetic. They worked well together. The food is insane!!!! Spicy tuna roll topped with shredded fried potato sticks, shrimp tempura with 3 sauces to choose from, salmon sashimi just to name a few. All too notch 👌🏼 Keep up the great work Sandfish, you should all be so proud.

A must while in PS. Really beautiful restaurant with great food and exceptional service. DK was one of the best servers we have ever had, making our night so memorable. Thank you to Shannon for getting us a table outdoors when we were originally inside. If you can sit outside I highly recommend- the fires are warm and create a nice ambiance (not being from here I was worried it’d be cold but it was not at all). The food was delicious and we hope to come back before we leave Palm Springs.

We celebrated our anniversary here and it was wonderful. Such a cute place. Hosts were very friendly and welcoming. Our server was incredible and she was really on it. She planned our courses for us and it was perfect. We got 4 dishes to share from the vegan menu and the portions were HUGE. For the type of restaurant and style we err expecting smaller portions but were pleasantly surprised. Everything you can tell was super fresh and great quality. For a nice celebration or even just to go out to eat this place is awesome. Can’t wait to come back

We always love coming here for the good food and ambiance, and great service! And the dogs! This time, the three of us chose the coco toast, the Benny, and the palm ramen salad.—all excellent! We’ll be back. Highly recommend it!
