    I have eaten in this restaurant multiple times, but never for a Thanksgiving buffet.… The staff did an outstanding job and the quality of food was fabulous. …and amount of food on display was outrageous.… As expected I over ate but was trying to “get my money’s worth“ because the buffet was $150 a person which I was not aware of when I booked a table of four. 😵‍💫 We sat outside, which was great because it was much quieter than the loud cacophony inside with literally dozens of people running around in controlled chaos filling their plates. I will return to the Rockwood Grill as I have eaten many times, but never for a holiday buffet.

    The restaurant overbooked for thanksgiving dinner buffet and had to wait over 45 minutes after our reservation time to get a table. Sad to hear they got rid of the sushi bar especially for such a high cost per person.

    The Thanksgiving buffet was not as extensive as in the past. Also some of the items were not as well prepared as in the past such as the Brussels sprouts, the poke bar and the bread and rolls sections seemed to have fewer choices. The Sunday breakfast buffet was a far better value. The staff was very good and very attentive.

    The food is varied and of a high quality. The service was outstanding. Tables were arranged in our area with plenty of space. My only complaint is the extremely high cost of the meal itself. With gratuity and no additional beverages, we spent close to $200 per person!

    This is the second time we have gone to Rockwood Grill. First time was Father’s Day and now for Thanksgiving. We sat on the patio this time with beautiful views. Service was wonderful and an abundance of yummy food. The had a separate room just for desserts. The only problem we had was a disagreement on the bill. I had $75 for adults and $28 for children. Our bill came and we were charged $150 per adult and 50 for child. I luckily had a picture of the menu with the price and asked my server about it. I don’t know why it was advertised on Facebook this way? Anyway, they charged me $75 per our two adults and I appreciated it. I definitely wouldn’t have made reservations for that price. I would go back again but would make sure I called ahead and got clarification on prices.

    The most incredible Thanksgiving Day buffet I’ve ever had. The atmosphere was so beautiful and the food was beyond incredible with such an insane amount of options. It was my first time visiting Palm Springs and I’ll definitely come back again, especially over Thanksgiving. I’ll be dreaming about that meal for a long time!
