    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.

    Our Christmas dinner was our first visit to the Purple Room, and it was such an enjoyable experience from the jazz standards played by the quartet to the food and to the welcome we received. Kudos to the owner, who was the perfect host. The food offerings from the prix fixe menu catered for everyone's needs. I tasted my wife's vegan meal, and it was delicious as was my meal. So glad we reserved a seating, which made for a perfect end for Christmas and visit to Palm Springs.

    I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. It was delicious, properly made with romaine, real grilled chicken (still hot from the grill) and came with a quality house-made dressing. One of the best salads I've had in a long time. Worth going back for more.

    Seems to be a popular hot spot in Palm Springs. 5 years living here and hadn't been. We took two out of town visiting friends there for dinner. Six of us total and the bill was $260 for appetizers, drinks, and desserts. We felt that was very reasonable. Our server smiled and bantered with us and was attentive. The food was very good, especially the prime rib on the Saturday night we were there, as their Saturday special. The restaurant is that nice combination a feeling upscale without too much formality and pretentiousness.

    What could be better than Drag Bingo on Monday night? We arrived early, and the staff gave us the lowdown and what to expect! Friendly staff and accommodating. Bingo was the bonus and kept everyone entertained while meals and drinks were served. I enjoyed the Monday night chicken special and my wife had the loaded soup. I was lucky enough to wine bingo twice so desserts were on the house. Overall, a fun spot for visitors and locals alike. Would make a return trip.
