    The outdoor dining is calming and the lakeside views are so unique to the desert. The black swan floating by was an added magical moment. The delicious food was served while we gazed at the lighted fountain in the center of the lake and felt the warmth of the fire pits. It was just a delightful evening.

    This was our first visit in over a year because of a not too good previous experience. We decided to give it another try. The food was very good and the servers very attentive. It’s such a beautiful setting sitting on the deck overlooking the lake. The fire pits were lit and there were plenty of heaters so we were very comfortable. It’s a shame there were only two other tables with guests on a Friday night during season. We did not feel the presence of a manager on duty. The young man sitting at the front desk was more interested in looking at his phone than his job. We will go back.

    Everything was wonderful. The Food. Of course Jasmine is The Best. Always the first place I want to go when we return to The Desert from Alaska. But I'm so disappointed they will no longer be serving Lunch. Hoping they reconsider

    Our table by the lake had tons gnats flying over us and into our water glasses. We moved tables and there were fewer gnats, but there were large gross bugs like beetles here and there. One went on my shoe and then I lost my appetite and could not wait to leave. The meals were just okay with small portions with a limited menu. One and done!

    Lured by the description of dining lakeside was a huge fail! A swarm of gnats hovered over the tables, the area was tired and unkept, and needed a good cleaning. We should have walked out from the start but thought to give them a chance. OH BOY! The food was sub par, more like Swanson’s TV styled, only not nearly as good. Go there if you don’t have any tastebuds!
