A chic and sophisticated décor provides the setting for our distinctive "world cuisine", a provocative mix of zesty influences that creates a delightful dining experience in Palm Springs, California. Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating. The cuisine has a light, exotic feel with an emphasis on Pacific Rim specialties, from Chilean Sea Bass baked in Banana Leaves or Kahlua-Barbecued Pork Chops to all sorts of tasty tapas, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts. The Coral Seas Lounge, a hip mid-century style bar is lined with sexy black leather bar-stools and is reminiscent of the upbeat lounges of old Palm Springs. It wraps around the dining room and leads outside to a lush, tropical, 2000 square foot dining patio where a variety of specialty cocktails and old-school favorites are mixed - an ideal place where friends gather and martinis are sipped under the starlit desert sky.

    My spouse certainly enjoyed her fried chicken, and my son really like his burger. My entree salad with blackened salmon was tasty as well. Service was exceptional. Pricey, but the ambiance made it a worthwhile treat for us.

    Not my favorite restaurant in the desert. It’s very noisy! The service was so fast we hardly had any time between ordering and the delivery of the meal.we had asked for bread twice and never received it. The food portions were enormous! Even for sharing. The food was good. Hadn’t been there in quite a while awhile. Now I remember why.

    We always love the music and vibe at Tropicale. It's cool and hip. The prices are a tad high but happy hour helps. The pizzas we had were not that good, very simple and the dough is basic blah. First time we had pizza there. But we had a delicious steak and the veggies and baked potatoes were awesome. Lemon Drop martinis were fab.
