Restaurants near The Village Shopping Center

One of my absolute favorite places in Palm Springs. The food, service, specialty drinks are all great, and it’s always consistent. We arrived a little early, and as I waited for my table, I observed the owners on the floor and attending to many details. But I was most impressed with how one of the owners interacted with the staff. Service positions can be hard work with little gratitude. In the interactions I saw, the owner was sincerely supportive of what I gathered was a new staff member. Impressive.

If I could give The Tropicale 10 stars, I would. As you enter you will find the restaurant to be very inviting with the warm colors, decor and overall relaxing feel. You will be met with a staff that is very attentive and professional. The chef is not only creative with the dishes, they are always delicious and presented beautifully, and you get ample portions! One of the greatest things I like about dining here, not only is the food impeccable, but the ambience makes it so comfortable and welcoming.

We had a lovely evening on the patio. It was a cold night and I was worried we wouldn’t be warm enough. We were warm. Our server Alex had great suggestions and was very attentive. The entire staff is pleasant. The food is amazing. I had the lamb chops and my wife had the barramundi both were great. So was their signature Cesar salad and the pineapple upside down cake. We will be back to try the rest of the menu.

We had the most amazing dinner and service. My grandkids said best steak ever, made to perfection, and best spaghetti and meat balls. Happy kiddos 💓 Thank you, Tony, for your hospitality. It's one of my favorite restaurants in Palm Springs. When in town, I definitely make sure to stop in for a meal. See you soon 😊

We went to Lola Rose for lunch on New Year’s Day and the menu was brunch which didn’t give us a lot of Middle Eastern food. We chose the kebabs which came with a small salad, Persian rice, yogurt sauce, and grilled tomatoes. Very tasty and filling! We had the vegetarian dessert (can’t remember what it’s called) and that was also delicious. Service was a bit slow and we had to ask for small plates when they delivered our appetizer. The music was very LOUD so keep that in mind if you go for lunch. We are looking forward to coming back for dinner
