    Probably my most disappointing dining experience in Palm Springs. I had been looking forward to eating here. Ambiance and service were excellent—food not so much. Bland Caesar dressing tasted bottled and croutons tasted stale. I ordered chicken pot pie. That implies pie—like a crust. What came was little cast iron skillet of cream sauce with a few peas and carrots and six (yes I counted) small pieces of chicken. This was topped with a slice of a baguette. My husband’s supposed 8 oz wagyu burger was thinner than a quarter pounder patty and smaller. Where’s the beef? Won’t be going there again.

    The Staff was great and our server was wonderful. Food was also very good, although I should have just selected one since the portions are quite large. Although we hate the chairs (too hard and uncomfortable), we enjoy eating at the Grand Central.

    We decided to have dinner here for Thanksgiving. It was our first time at this restaurant. When we arrived, we were greeted by a friendly host. A lovely woman showed us to our table which was by the window. Our server, David, was attentive but also gave us space to enjoy our time together. It was a set menu and we chose the traditional turkey dinner which was delicious. The staff was fantastic and the food was very good. We plan to go back and try their regular menu.

    Only one BIG thing - we sat outside. The metal chairs are grossly uncomfortable and get VERY cold when the temperature drops. It made us all wish we had either gone inside or gone to another restaurant. Sorry, but some padding is REQUIRED.

    We enjoyed the patio dining! Since they weren't busy, we never felt rushed to order or to vacate! Food was delicious and prompt! Four friends left full and happy!
