He is a vegan and they have numerous vegan options, not just steamed vegetables. We shared an appetizer/ small plate, had grilled bread, he had a vegan dish that was made to look like scallops which he’s had before and really enjoys, and I had another small plate with 4 large shrimp (I know - an oxymoron!). They brought out a flourless chocolate cake with a candle for his birthday (I wrote that on the reservation, but most places ignore it) which we also shared. Our waitress was Paige, who was not only friendly, but made great suggestions and kept checking in on us during the evening.

And the veggie and vegan options are well done and not an afterthought so even carnivores will enjoy. The service was friendly and prompt from Paige. And she even brought the owner over to say hello after we were about halfway through and complimenting the food we had eaten so far. We had the trumpet mushroom calamari, the fried cauliflower and tuna tartare for apps. Split the burrata salad and then the mains were the short ribs, the airline chicken and the veggie paella. All excellent. The dessert was the pineapple upside down cake. Normally I hate that, but this was fantastic. All and all - this is a spot that is worth it in Palm Desert.

The musician was great, but when he played through the house speakers (which were crackly) the music was too loud. It was nice when he used only his own amp.

They brought out a flourless chocolate cake with a candle for his birthday (I wrote that on the reservation, but most places ignore it) which we also shared.

Then, we told them we needed to leave in 10 minutes and they brought out our food, completely raw. I had fish. My parter had scallops. Neither were cooked. The bites we took were disgusting and cold inside. They clearly forgot, then rushed this on and out to us. We couldn’t eat it. We showed them and sent it back and they admitted it was raw. We had to go - I asked for the bill. They came over and said they’d all been talking about it and they wanted to comp us. We got up and left, I complained to the host how terrible of an experience it was. He said. “I know. I saw the food.” No please come back on us and give us another chance or anything.
