   Food delicious and big portions. Had to wait 1 hour to get it. (And the restaurant was not all that busy.)

   Staff were wonderful even on a busy holiday and food superb as always. The kitchen is sadly slow- even on non holidays - perhaps too small but nonetheless we will be back!

   There were 5 of us. We each ordered a dish which contained a burger patty in one form or another. Each burger was overcooked (medium rare was all our preferences). The outer perimeter of all of the burgers was overcooked, dry, and hard to cut and swallow. The flavor of the meat was good but it was so overcooked we couldn't enjoy it.

   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.

   I had breakfast pancakes and my hubby had the smoked salmon toast. Everything was delicious and our server was great. We sat on the front patio.

   Great selection of well prepared food. Cheese Quesadilla, though, was very short on cheese. Service is always friendly and professional. Nice inside and outside.
