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.

    We were there on NYE and had a great time. Everyone seemed to be in great spirits.Our waiter was great and the Ceasar salad was delicious but the skirt steak was the texture of shoe leather. It was not edible!

    Tropicale has been our go-to restaurant since it opened whenever we're in town so to have our NYE dinner there was twice as nice. Dan, our server was perfect, and the food of course was terrific along with the overall vibe.

    Mixed all around. Table not ready within 30 minutes of reservation, but friendly staff worked a plan “B”. Excellent bartender with quality cocktails but food was horrible - especially the steak and chicken entrees. Net, better options out there.
