This was my sister's choice since it was her birthday. She'd been here during a conference (peak season for desert) and thought it was wonderful. My opinion, location could be difficult depending on traffic (multi 2 story complexes with narrow paved streets), very limited menu (which waiter stated that was due to this being OFF SEASON), mostly beef, no specials,... more

Chef Kelly Walling, who used to be at the famous Pacifica Seafood Restaurant in Palm Desert, now runs the kitchen. He has upgraded the menu, upgraded the ingredients, and rearranged the service. He also gives cooking demonstrations as the local Farmers Market on Sunday mornings using fresh produce from that day's selection. His Reuben sandwich at lunch is elegant (yes!)... more

The write-ups and pictures in the local Palm Springs guides must have come from the branch in Carmel, because this restaurant is mediocre, at best. I had "seared tuna" that was so well done it was unrecognizable as tuna - not one speck of pink was left. Maybe the cook never prepared tuna before - but it was the special!... more

Don't expect the ambiance depicted in the website photos. Server had no spunk and didn't seem to be familiar with the menu. Stuffed sole was average. Molten cake was the worst I've ever had (I know it's chocolate but what can I say). Calamari was tough greasy. I actually spit out two bites (1st time ever!) as the batter had... more

We showed up a bit early and were able to secure a table on the patio. We were concerned that we may have been underdressed for the eatery, but there were plenty of people in shorts and T-shirts, and we felt at home. The Poke salad appetizer was good, but a bit heavy on the ginger. We ordered the Dirty... more

Took a business associate here for dinner in June 2007. The service was solid, but lacking in enthusiasm. I guess the waiter wanted to leave us along to talk. The food was excellent. I would recommend it, but try to get a seat near the windows for a very nice view of the mountains. more
