    Shelly greeted us and made us feel instantly welcome. She was a most treasured part of the evening. Ambiance is fabulous. Quintessential Palm Springs. We ordered the deviled eggs and they were fab. Brussels fab. Chicken pot pie fab. Burger was not. Like it was cooked and sat. Came out room temp. Bun kinda hard. Salmon and filet just so so. Squash Vegan steak very good. Food underwhelming.

    This was a bucket list experience for us when we purchased a home in Palm Springs and we were blown away by the amazing staff who made us feel like we were their favorite customers. Food was beyond amazing. Best steak I’ve ever had. Thank you for a wonderful memorable experience!

    We were disappointed on so many levels. Our Seabass entree was inedible; super salty with a fish odor that I had to finally send back to the kitchen for the chef to review. My thought was that I (and others) had a bad fillet. The server came back stating the chef said it was ok! I barely could stomach it nor could my husband who had the same entree. No accommodations or substitution was made or suggested. I had my adult kids with me visiting so I wasn’t about to make a scene but it wasn’t appropriate on Melvyn’s part. We were not offered a substitution or compensated. The rest of the family had the chicken pot pie, a veggie dish & the steak diane which was just average. We were celebrating three big birthdays and although I made reservations three weeks in advance, there wasn’t anything special to be had - the ambience is sad - no music or candlelit tables or even a birthday treat. We felt rushed and honestly it just wasn’t fun for the $700 we ended up spending that evening. The venue is old timey 1960s cool but I am looking forward to other restaurants in the Palm Springs area to support.

    Waaaay to loud. Not a fan of the one-sided table seating. Makes it hard to have a conversation. Table was seeing/hearing kitchen as well as much too loud band.
