    Very nice restaurant with a nice outside sitting area with several fire pits overlooking the large water where boats will drop you off at your restaurant.

    Could be special but it was really just a hotel restaurant with a nice outdoor space. Food was average. I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here again.

    Wonderful restaurant at JW Marriott Palm Desert Springs. Great service, and food was very good. Drinks and food are a little pricey, but probably normal for this area.

    Food was amazing. I had a steak my wife pasta. If not the best one of the best steaks I have had. Drinks were very good from the bar. Our server Ariel was exceptional. Attentive, professional, did not rush us and very pleasant. Dessert was really good. All in all an exceptional meal. Thanks to all.
