⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Peaks restaurant with five other guests, and what a memorable experience it was! We arrived via the Palm Springs tram, which added a touch of adventure to the evening. Loved the cold rainy weather and even snow, the ambience inside the restaurant was warm and inviting. The beautiful views of the surrounding landscape were breathtaking, making it the perfect backdrop for our dinner. The food was simply delicious! Each dish was expertly prepared and bursting with flavor. The drink selection was equally impressive, with a variety of creative cocktails and fine wines to choose from. What truly stood out was the exceptional service. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure our dining experience was nothing short of perfect. Overall, The Peaks restaurant exceeded our expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful dining experience in the mountains. We can’t wait to return!

We had a lovely lunch overlooking the valley. Hubby had the flatiron steak and I had a burger. Both were prepared as ordered and tasted great. Save room for dessert!

It was lovely having this restaurant to go to for lunch once we got off the aerial tram. The view was so nice, the service was friendly and professional. I had a steak sandwich which was good and my husband enjoyed his chicken sandwich. Fries were okay.

Our server Gabby took great care of us. The food was excellent and portions were ample. We had to wait a bit past our reservation time but it was well worth it as the site offers a bar and toasty fire while you wait or you can stroll in the beautiful exterior environment.

Maitre’d was not very communicative and not very nice, seating numerous non reservation groups ahead of us. She also made a point of wishing other groups celebrating birthdays “happy birthday”, but clearly omitted it for our group… steaks were just meh, but at steak house prices.
