    One of our favorite places in the Coachella valley. The tree-filled patio is so inviting. The service is always excellent and food delicious.

    I love this restaurant and try to visit every time I’m in the area. The patio is beautiful and the food is always excellent. Last night we had a less than great experience with the front of house hosts. We had a 7:15 reservation and arrived a few minutes after 7:00. The host informed us that because we were early they couldn’t offer us a table on the patio just yet and that we could wait in the bar or be seated inside. We opted for having a drink in the bar and waiting for the table on the patio. One of the hosts insisted that we close out our bill in the bar before being seated… so we got our drinks and closed out in anticipation of being seated quickly. The host made several passes through the bar calling names of parties for their reservations. After 35 minutes I went up to the desk and asked when we would be seated.. she very rudely said “ we called your name and you didn’t answer.. “ No they did not and they knew we were in the bar. Then the other host said “ you need to close your tab”.. yes we did that 30 minutes ago. They never apologized and called someone to seat us. We were shoved behind a large table up against a wall….Our waitperson was lovely and very accommodating. Very poor customer communication at the front of house and extremely rude hosts.

    From start to finish a perfect evening. The outdoor area is beautiful and magical. The food was so delicious - I strongly suggest the chicken! My special margarita with guava was the best!! Its romantic and delightful and the perfect place for a romantic date or great celebration!!

    I’ve been wanting to go to this restaurant for a long time, but since we’re on the other side of the valley, I haven’t. There were four of us. We all felt the service was terrible. I think we sat there for 20 minutes before someone came over to ask if we wanted a drink. It was very crowded and maybe they were short of help. It’s a beautiful patio. I had pork chop and the rest had short ribs. We all felt the dinner was fair.
