A chic and sophisticated décor provides the setting for our distinctive "world cuisine", a provocative mix of zesty influences that creates a delightful dining experience in Palm Springs, California. Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating. The cuisine has a light, exotic feel with an emphasis on Pacific Rim specialties, from Chilean Sea Bass baked in Banana Leaves or Kahlua-Barbecued Pork Chops to all sorts of tasty tapas, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts. The Coral Seas Lounge, a hip mid-century style bar is lined with sexy black leather bar-stools and is reminiscent of the upbeat lounges of old Palm Springs. It wraps around the dining room and leads outside to a lush, tropical, 2000 square foot dining patio where a variety of specialty cocktails and old-school favorites are mixed - an ideal place where friends gather and martinis are sipped under the starlit desert sky.

    The Sunday brunch is one of the best we’ve ever been to. We both had Eggs Benedict accompanied by bloody Mary’s . Delicious meals made for a perfect afternoon in their garden! The chocolate cream pie was amazing, as well!

    Happy Hour at Tropicale was fantastic. Our party of 5 tried several of the HH options and everything was tasty! Service was outstanding- thank you Sergio and George! The ambiance on the patio was lovely and we appreciated the patio heaters. Would definitely recommend!
