POM is Fantasy Springs Resort Casino's answer to casino cafes. POM features breakfast, lunch and dinner in an atmosphere that's light, airy and modern. Reviewers on Yelp.com give POM 4&1/2 stars out of 5 and for good reason. The food here is of top quality. Chef Freddy Rieger even gets herbs used for cooking and garnish from the garden just outside the restaurant's French doors. The food is inventive yet hearty and the service is friendly and attentive. Patrons can also order cocktails here they won't find anywhere else around Palm Springs. How about a Date Martini or a hand-crafted White Sangria?

Our first time at this restaurant and we found it to be a gem. The service we got from Mickey was unsurpassed, the ambiance was engaging and our overall impression was very good. The food was DELICIOUS!!! We ordered the pear salad to start with, and boy, were we amazed! It was possibly the best salad I’ve had in the past 2 decades. Whatever you order when you get there, make sure to order a pear salad. You’ll thank me for it.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Nest, and I can’t say enough about how fantastic the experience was. I ordered the sole piccata, and it was absolutely perfect – tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. Every bite was a delight! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, and the service was excellent. The staff was attentive and made sure everything went smoothly without being intrusive. From start to finish, the meal and overall experience exceeded my expectations. I highly recommend The Nest to anyone looking for delicious food and great service. I’ll definitely be returning!

Food was delicious. Service a little slow, especially getting initial beverages. Our request for seating was granted, which was very nice. Ambiance seemed a little more chaotic than normal but recognized there was some new staff training going on. Overall, lively evening and we will be back.
