Del Rey inside Villa Royale is moody, luxe, and full of Spanish small plates.

We brought our youngest son and his girlfriend. They loved it as much as my wife and I do. Enrique, our server, was excellent. We took his recommendation and started with the pan and bombas for 4. Supreme way to start. The good, drinks and ambiance were on fire.

We tried this place out as part of our ongoing culinary exploration of Palm Springs. It's an interesting little place tucked away in a residential area. The atmosphere may be best described as bohemian, a mix of traditional and contemporary. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, which we appreciated; the hostess, however, seemed clueless, sitting us right below a stereo speaker in a dark corner when there were plenty of other tables available. As for the food, what we had was excellent but the menu is very limited.

Excellent atmosphere and service. Dark, quiet and cool place for an evening cocktail. Food was very expensive for what it was. EG $39 for two chicken skewers and some peppers. Glass of wine $20. etc. Automatic charge for "kitchen appreciation" :-|

The food was excellent! Everything had excellent flavor! The shrimp dish was a standout! The desert was also phenomenal! We had the churros and they were perfectly soft, the ice cream, chocolate and vanilla dipping sauces pairs so well with it! Highly recommend this place! It was also our anniversary and they wrote us a note which was a nice touch! Thank you!

Always love dining here! Ky was a great server and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the tinned fish.

Delicious Food and beautiful atmosphere. Service usually excellent but this time was slipping. Delivered bottled water when I ordered tap. Did not enter soup order. Was told I got last one but it was given to someone else after I ordered. Soup was still on my bill when I received my check.

Love this place - food is always spot on as is the service, all in a beautiful and intimate setting.

Every dish i wanted to order, they were out of. Which was a bummer because the menu was why we came. The drinks were good the atmosphere was beautiful. We were sitting next to a large bridal party, and the girls were very loud. Would go again, but call ahead the menu online was not what was offered.

beautiful quiet bday dinner. romantic vibes. absolutely perfect. they even wrote her a little note which was so special 🙏🏼

My new “go-to” in Palm Springs! It's like discovering a restaurant speak easy. Feeling like you're walking into old classic Hollywood. The food is absolute perfection. Flavors textures variety and presentation - all perfection. The sauce that comes with the shrimp I think I could drink with a straw! Everything you eat puts a smile on your face and makes you audibly respond. So good. The staff is incredible too. Our server (Jaycee)... I honestly don't think I've ever had a more amazing experience with a server. She was lovely, knowledgeable, fun, engaging and honestly a large part of why I will be visiting Del Rey every time I'm in town. Well done!

A fantastic little Spanish restaurant located some distance from the commercial strip… and worth the short trip. Entering through the hotel and the pool deck you get a whiff of 1960s zing. The restaurant patio (we didn’t go inside) is sheltered and well cooled with fans/misters. The service was friendly and prompt. The food was well on the finer side is good (with some great dishes) - lots of flavor if a tad heavy for the season (late May heat wave). We passed 2 hours with friends without realizing it which is usually the sign of a great experience.

Sangria was very good. I don't understand why when tapas are meant to be shared most of them come in odd numbers (3 croquets) ? Very romantic and charming restaurant, small so I recommend reservations My only complaint is that because the outside seating area is enclosed by walls or heavy foliage there is no air circulation and even though there were ceiling fans without a breeze it was uncomfortable enough we did not stay for dessert

Great evening on the patio. Love the vibe of this place. Our server Enrique was fantastic. Always good and interesting food and drinks. Highly recommend!

Fabulous as we remember from our first time a few years ago! Great vibe, amazing tapas! The Pan (bread rolls) were a stand out! A new must do restaurant for us!!!
