    We had an amazing dinner at peaks restaurant! Food was delicious and service was excellent! Gina our server was extremely friendly and very funny, which escalated our experience. She had our whole table laughing the whole time! Hands down the best spicy margarita we have ever tasted. The bartender knows what she is doing. We are already planning our second trip back up the tram! Thank you.

    Slow service. Spinach salad was very disappointing with chopped red onions instead of sliced. Slow service getting drink refills. Payment process was slow too.

    Fantastic lunch experience! The Gondola ride is incredible, but the 360 spinning made some of us a little motion sick on the way up. Lunch was fantastic with beautiful scenery all around. Would highly recommend!

    We decided to go back here for an evening meal as it is at the end of the gondola up to San Jacinto SP . Since it snowed two nights prior the ride and facility was full with folks coming up to see the snow and the vista. I thought the night view would be awesome but the view is no directly down the valley (it's about 8000' elevation) But we enjoyed the ride up, the snow, and the food.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Peaks restaurant with five other guests, and what a memorable experience it was! We arrived via the Palm Springs tram, which added a touch of adventure to the evening. Loved the cold rainy weather and even snow, the ambience inside the restaurant was warm and inviting. The beautiful views of the surrounding landscape were breathtaking, making it the perfect backdrop for our dinner. The food was simply delicious! Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The drink selection was equally impressive, with a variety of creative cocktails and fine wines to choose from. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, The Peaks restaurant exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience in the mountains. We can’t wait to return!

    We had a lovely lunch overlooking the valley. Hubby had the flatiron steak and I had a burger. Both were prepared as ordered and tasted great. Save room for dessert!
