    Loved all of our food! We took the tram during sunset for the views but didn’t get a great view at night. Would recommend going earlier in the day to the restaurant to get a better view. Our food was fabulous along with our service!

    Some of the very best views to be had in Palm Springs dining are found at the Peaks Restaurant.  my spouse and I have died there probably at least 10 times since moving to the Coachella Valley and always find the service to be very good and fast, food quality is good, and ambience is not to be beat. We actually prefer the lunch menu to the dinner menu and find the prices at lunch to be much more reasonable for the menu offerings. Drinks are EXTREMELY expensive: for example my entire lunch was $21 but one mixed drink would have set me back $24 or $25. Wine averaged around $15 a glass. You get the idea.

    Server should remove soup bowls before delivering the entree. Table was very crowded. Never asked for a second (or refill) beverage, especially wine.

    I was excited to eat here because it was my birthday. I got to my reservation early and they got me in immediately, however, it took quite a while for my waitress to get to my table and only after I asked for her. I ordered the salmon which was dry and was served with a scoop of bland rice and a couple over cooked bok choy. I didn't finish the meal. The waitress was very nice and offered to compensate me but I just wanted to leave. This is a gorgeous restaurant with high prices so I expexted a better meal.

    It was an awesome experience! The food was delicious and gave large portions. The atmosphere was quiet. We sat next to the window so we had great views. The attendant was fantastic- our order was taken quickly and served within 10 minutes! The food was very flavorful. Dessert was fantastic. We were celebrating a friend’s birthday and she loves the attention. Everything was perfect. We definitely want to come back again!!
