“The food is fresh and delicious. (Try the beef kabobs!) The large outdoor patio has misters and fans, and faces NE away from the afternoon sun.“

“This was the best Peruvian food hands down made by Peruvians so the taste was authentic with authentic ingredients. My wife and I met the chef and she’s so passionate about her food and was very friendly. Think it may have been family working there every one was so polite and friendly engaged in conversation about Peru. My wife and I had the lomo saltado and I had to get the ceviche con chicharron it was absolutely delicious. We usually make stops throughout the places we visit to try the Peruvian food and this is it. The ceviche was fresh and had all the authentic ingredients it’s like if we were sitting in Peru eating. This is going to be our go to spot when visiting the area.“

“We just discovered this place and we are glad we did, amazing food and staff.“

“Enjoyed a nice dinner for my wife’s birthday and the food and atmosphere was very nice. We finished everything on our plates including the baklava cheesecake which was delicious. Thank you for the great food and service Mert!

Kid-friendliness: They had chicken tenders and fries which was a safe bet for our kids. Although the chicken was very good my kids really loved the gyro meat.“

“We had a 5:30 reservation on Wednesday night. When we walked in and there were only a couple people at the eating bar. We sat down and our server came over and asked what our water preference was. They don't have cocktails but have wines by the glass and Im not sure of beer, but they probably do. Our server brought one a chalkboard with the days menu. we ordered the Mac and cheese and The Grilled Dates - ricotta cheese, honey, berry compote, chilé sauce and Red Miner's Lettuce - pickled sunchokes, strawberries, feta, lemon dressing, toasted pistachios for starters. the dates were delish, kind of reminded me of a campfire marshmallow believe it or not, the date was a little charred on the outside like a marshmallow when you were a kid, they were wonderful the red miners salad was also lovely with goat cheese and pistachios. Entrees we had ,Santa Carota Beef Short Rib - coffee, maple demi glaze , New Bedford Scallops and grilled shrimp - spinach-basil creme, egg noodles , and the Striped bass, all were excellent the food here was some of the best in the Desert! For dessert we had the Berry tart which was really good.
Our only concern, and all three of us said the same thing, It would have been nice if more people were eating. But otherwise great food and service!“

“Great food! Picked up 4 wraps the other day. They were huge. Each enough for 2 people. The type of local place that makes you happy you spent your money there.“

“The Pink Cabana is an absolute gem! The ambiance and decor are stunning – chic, vibrant, and so thoughtfully designed. We came with a large group of seven, and the customer service was nothing short of outstanding. The staff was attentive, friendly, and made us feel so well taken care of.

We had an issue with one meal, and the team went above and beyond to make it right, which speaks volumes about their dedication to creating a great experience for every guest. Everything else we ordered was absolutely delicious.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique atmosphere, incredible service, and a truly memorable dining experience!“

“Bonne paella avec beaucoup de calamars et de crevettes servie dans une poêlon sortant du four.“

“Amazing dinner! The biscuits might have been the best thing we've eaten all year. All dishes were great though. We sat in the main dining area, which was more casual hotel vibe, whereas the lounge looked more like the darker restaurant vibe. Depends what you want. We'll definitely be back!“

“The food was excellent! I rarely can find squash blossoms and when I saw them on the menu I knew I had to order. These are often seasonal and very hard to find. They were incredible. Piping hot, crispy on the outside and creamy in the middle. They are served with Marinara. I prefer honey drizzle or agave so I added my own. My mouth was singing their praises. I’m looking forward to trying so many tasty bites I saw on the menu. Two thumbs up for me.“

“Abel was the one who took care of us today. He was great. Heather, who has taken care of us in the past, was off today. Heather has always been superb. We love this place so much. Highly recommended!
