Food can be a bit uneven based on multiple visits with some plates being great and others average, but service is always excellent in a pretty noisy dining room.

This had to be one of the worst dining experiences ever. The food was inedible. They seem to have a new PR person and the message was that it’s improved. Don’t believe it. Horrible experience.

WE arrived early and were seated immediately. We had a light dinner because we were dining late. The food was so delicious. This was not our first time and our favorite French restaurant in the desert. We love eating there.
