    We have owned a home in Palm Springs for eleven year's. One of our first finds was walking into Tropicale for dinner. What an extraordinary experience, that night and last night. It is like the old TV show Cheers "where everyone knows your name" or for sure your face! Thank you Ranz, Tony and all of the staff for treating is so well. It is always a joy to return to Tropicale for another fantastic meal with friends and family. See you again soon. Robert and Dianna

    We had been worried because we needed to take our 5 and 7 year old boys with us but the staff helped us make it a fantastic experience. Even the kids loved it! (Although there was a long intermission between super speedy appetizers and the mains). Food was exquisite and not too terribly expensive. The sole white fish was fantastic that we all can’t stop talking about that dish and may need to go back soon for it.

    Another terrific lunch at 849. Everything was impeccable. 849 is one of the best values found in the Coachella Valley. The plates are beautifully presented and the flavors are excellent. Service from greeting to goodbye is topnotch. Friendly, efficient and very helpful. The ambiance is unique and very pleasant. We will try dinner soon. Congratulations to the team at 849.

    Service ALWAYS impecable. From the valet at the front desk to the receptionist and the servers! Always willing to help. The food was delicious although I had the potato pancakes and even though they came with sour cream and applesauce, they were pretty bland. Lacking flavor.
