From our friendly and accommodating hostess, to our server and support staff, this was a lovely lunch at the top of the Palm Springs Aerial Tramway. Talk about a view! The mushroom ravioli was divine, and the appetizer hummus and olive tapenade was delicious. And the specialty cocktails? Perfection! A beautiful place to have a lovely lunch at almost 9000 feet elevation! The views are as delicious as the food! We will definitely be back on our next visit and hope to have our same server and hostess.

The views from this restaurant are amazing. Tables are positioned so everyone can enjoy the view. Weather was clear to see for miles. We shared a mixed greens and strawberry salad and the chicken sandwich. Highly recommend the salad. Sandwich was good and fries were great. Would probably order different sandwich if I returned. Overall great experience and felt prices were reasonable.

The food and views were excellent! Bar items were a little pricey, but the food portions were huge, and worth paying a little extra.

We celebrated our 50th anniversary at the top of the tramway and split an amazing chicken sandwich and I had a glass of wine. Absolutely delicious. Wendy, our server, learned it was our anniversary and brought us a very nice scoop of ice cream with blackberries and chocolate (because we were too full to eat any more than that😊) A very enjoyable afternoon.

The Bartender at Peaks was a delight and created wonderful cocktails . We sat at the bar for our first drink then moved into the restaurant We had a lovely table with the most amazing views. The Caesar salad was a great shared appetizer . We followed this with a Flat iron steak and I had the homemade veggie burger which again were both great. Overall pleasantly surprised by the quality of food ,and all the staff from Bartender ,hostess ,waiter and busboy were a delight . We were there for lunch but I’m sure the views at night would be wonderful too. A great experience .Thanks to all who made the day one to remember
