    Every morsel of food was fresh, beautifully presented and seasoned to perfection. We drove 2 hours from the coast to try the fried chicken. It was worth the trip tender chicken again perfect seasoning crunchy and delicious. I (after considering several choices) settled on the salmon. Our fantastic waitress Kelly asked how would I like it prepared! Chef’s choice was scrumptious fresh salmon caught off Norway with fresh herbs and capers so flavorful. The salads again were perfectly dressed and the bone marrow appetizer exquisite. My favorite restaurant in Palm Springs! We’ll be back !

    Reservation was at eight didn’t make it to the table till 8:30. Server did not greet the table until another 10 minutes after. Next time, even if you are busy, at least acknowledge the table letting them know I see you and I will be with you as soon as I can. Food was OK I asked for medium lamb chops. They came out rare so I sent those back. After greeting, the table server was great no complaints there. OVERALL I WOULD NEVER COME BACK

    Our dinner on Valentine Day was very good except for the Rack Of Lamb that my wife ordered. The sauce on it was so sweet that my wife couldn’t eat it. So we returned it and got credit. My filet mignon, on the other hand, was fabulous and so was the mushroom soup.

    Always a great choice and this time didn't disappoint. Service is wonderful, the food is always on point. Fresh, creative and also some basic comfort food. Something for all. The patio is a great dine for people watching and energetic vibe. Check out the excellent wine list.
