   Absolutely perfect! Maybe the best evening I’ve had in Palm Springs. Beautiful setting, good food, excellent service. A bit expensive but well worth it for a special dinner.

   My bf & I were really looking forward to dinner & from start to finish, we were very disappointed. We arrived at 8:15 for our reservation (the rooftop). Unfortunately, there was no hostess working & the downstairs server was very busy- def working hard. When she got a second, she kindly greeted us & the other guests. By the time we were seated & greeted by our sever, it was 9:00. My bf & I each got a drink & shared a dessert. The drinks were AMAZING & the dessert could have been, except the churros were cold. Lastly, when paying, we had $100 bill and it was at least 10 minutes before the server said she did not have change & offered to go across the street. Although that was kind of her, it was now 9:20 & we just wanted to leave. I have never left a poor review- it’s not my style to bash. I just am extremely disappointed by this experience- as I also work in the restaurant industry, I was on vacation from the East coast, &, it was a Wednesday evening. The space is GORGEOUS and has the utmost potential to be excellent. Thank you.

   Halibut was too fishy and highly priced at $55. Filet was very briselly and $65. Food took an hour and a half to get. Dining under the stars was the best of the experience.

   The Tuna Tartare tasted amazing even though it felt more like a poke dish. The surf and turf was super bland, steak was chewy and flavorless. And the abuelita dessert was just a bowl of pudding. The ambience was great, oh and the Mezcal blood orange margarita was fantastic!

   We were staking in one of the Villas, so the restaurant was very convenient. I booked on OpenTable for the upstairs patio, but after seeing the weather change I called to move to indoor seating. I was told that 8PM was the only thing available but they could not confirm it would be inside. We went earlier in the day and had a drink and some chips and guacamole, both of which were very good. We returned around 7:15 and the inside was very empty, but since it had cooled off a bit we decided to go to the upstairs patio. We started off with drinks which were very good, then ordered dinner. We got the Caesar salad and the springtime salad, both of which were good. For entrees we ordered the surf and turf, the crab stuffed poblano, and brussel sprouts. The rib eye steak was very fatty but had decent flavor. It was about an 8 ounce cut. The three grilled shrimp were very tasty and probably the best bites of the night. The stuffed poblano was lacking flavor, and overall mediocre. The brussel sprouts were quartered and very undercooked, more like raw. We enjoyed the seeing and the atmosphere, but would find dinner other place for dinner next time.

    The atmosphere was wonderful. The food was was above average. The yucca fries were amazing. The green eggs and ham casserole was over cooked, dry and burnt. The service was average. The manager was attentive. I would go again and try a different dish.
