“Took our neighbors for their 40th anniversary. Even though they’ve lived in the valley for multiple decades, they had never been there (which is what I had hoped so as to surprise them). Took us newbies (less than 3 years) to introduce them to one of the valley’s hidden gems. They were captivated and very impressed and appreciative of their dining experience at this lovely setting. Each of us had a different entree and everyone was super pleased with their choice. Our guest has named Melange her new favorite restaurant.“

“I have been to the Sedona location and the Palm Desert location is even far superior. The taste, presentation and service were all exceptional... especially given that they have only been open for three weeks. The Mole Enchilada was the best I have ever had. Decor was fresh, modern, open, airy and welcoming. Nice bar to sit at as well. I will be coming back many times. Bob K Palm Desert“

“lo mejor en platillos mexicanos 😋“

“Fave bar in town cuz the drinks are cheap, strong, and there’s always something happening here through the week. Their drag shows are hilarious. Karaoke is a blast. It’s a must visit when you’re in town!“

“Literally a quaint Little Bar in the heart of Palm Desert. Great drinks and a welcoming atmosphere with a down home menu. A touch of the LA music scene is the desert. The burgers are awesome!“

“The Roost Lounge is a neighborhood bar with a nurturing family atmosphere where everyone feels welcome, from management to staff“

“Go there. Eat there. The Gluten Free bread option with my meat lover's scramble was tasty and better than most bland options. Our delightful server, Jennifer, said it was from a local bakery. Sat outside and were fully shaded from the sun. Nice relaxed atmosphere and even the bathroom was a relaxing space. Good way to end our weekend before heading back home. (Bonus: there's a Comic Book shop just across the parking lot).“

“Tommy Bahamas hosted my rehearsal dinner for my wedding, a total of 16 adults and 4 children. They went above and beyond. Initially, we were on the outdoor terrace surrounded by other customers. I asked if we could be more secluded since some of the family and guests wanted to say some words. They proceeded to move our entire group to a different section of the terrace for a more private and quiet setting. It was incredibly kind and generous of them to do so. Benjamin, our waiter was also terrific. He was prompt, thorough, and the service we received was unparalleled. The food and drinks, as always, were tremendous, and my wife and I could not be more satisfied. They even gave us a piece of pina colada cake as a celebration! Thank you again to the entire Tommy Bahama staff for a wonderful evening.“

“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!“

“Friendly staff Fantastic fresh sushi Generous portions And a good price for the quality It will be a regular!!“

“The food is always wonderful. I love the Viet wings. It’s a must order on every visit.“

“We went last night for happy hour and had a delicious charcuterie tray and bottle of wine. The staff is welcoming and the place has a cool vibe. We will definitely return next time we visit.“

“Omg by far the best burgers and beers I have been too Kimberly was our server and she was great in every aspect thank you so much and shout out to the manager you have a great staff very welcoming and very attentive….. the food was so delicious“

“This a a top notch restaurant and so are the employees!
When we arrived there wasn't a table available for us to dine there, however, they made it happen and we enjoyed sitting outside with perfect weather and beautiful ambiance.
We ordered calamari for appetizers; for dinner we ordered the halibut special and two veal scallopine. Both meals were delicious. For dessert we ordered the fig gelato which was also very delicious and unique. The nighttime weather was just as delicious as all the meals we enjoyed! You will not be disappointed if you decide to dine here.“

“Great entertainment and fantastic service“

“Great service should be tops on their list of reasons to come here. Tracy is the best!“

“Staff is so helpful and fun to be with, the cocktails are wonderful and wine is lovely, and the food choices are incredible!“

“A Palm Desert Classic! A great bar and grill with high quality food and lively atmosphere. I had the most expensive Lamb Chops ever at $75! But they were magnificent! The prime rib is very tender and melts in your mouth. Expect to spend a couple of hundred bucks on a lovely meal. Next time I think I’ll try the ribs. I know those are only $44. Great place for special occasions and the bar is a great place for older seniors to pick up a date.“

“Owners are amazing, staff always present and wonderful atmosphere. Best Neighborhood Barcaround.“

“Fantastic place rented off a really nice owner called Drew who looked after us really well. Facilities we’re great and any staff we met were helpful“

“The servers were very attentive.“

“The ambience was very relaxing!“

“For a restaurant in a shopping mall, the atmosphere is nice, with faux olive trees inside and interesting black & white striped walls. The food was fantastic- great meatballs, pizza, picatta & pasta. Attentive and thoughtful service. The negative was the noise level- especially when the DJ was setting up.“

“Fabulous steak and seafood“

“Drove all the way from menifie out to Palm Desert for this. It was fabulous, cannot wait until the one in Temecula opens.“

“I have found it to be hit and miss. I ordered the chicken and waffles that was supposed to come with pickled jalapeños and bacon onion jam. Now there were like 2 jalapeños and I'm sorry but picked onions are not bacon onion jam. And if such a thing existed, it wasn't on my plate and I had to ask for syrup that took over 10 minutes to get. But the avocado fries were great and were actually what the menu said it would be.“

“Great! Wonderful atmosphere, food AMAZING! Greta service…the nicest restaurant that is also kid friendly ever been to! Can have your NICE dinner out and kids will find food to eat …great in every way!“

“My kind of place! Here in the desert, there are people from everywhere. And whatever team you follow, you can watch it here. Spacious, large place has many big screens. I especially love B&B for NFL Sundays. All the games & then lots of good beer brands on tap (and in case you gulp instead of sipping, the an extra large glass over a pint for your favorite suds). Full bar too. I gave five stars all across except for the food which I gave 4 of 5. It's very good bar food, but not great. If you go for the 10 am NFL games, I recommend the omelets. It can get a bit noisy for football, but in the 5 or six times I've been, the folks there are respectful and nice and I've never had a hard time finding a seat near a TV with my game. Lots of knowledgable friendly staff here. Now B&B is my desert sports place, forget about Beer Hunter and other dusty, dated old places.“

“Dinner was great as well as service“

“Absolutely the BEST I have ever eaten in my 80 years! Lunas is a wonderful, warm, friendly village restaurant at the new Canopy in Indio. Staff and ambiance are extraordinary.“

“The service from the start was great. The staff from the waitresses to the managers were very friendly and attentive. I had a large party and they made sure everything was done correctly and went smoothly. The food was delicious and no one had an issue. Everyone's dish was perfect. This is the second time I've been here and it's great every time. I will always make time to come here when visiting the casino.“

“I have been getting threatening texts from an old boyfriends brother who I haven't seen in 30 years. He accuses me of being the lover of Michelle Salvatore and says a lot of horrible things about her. I googled her and it brought me here. Then I see his review defending her honor calling himself Pastor David Spencer DeHoyos. WOW! Its like someone who steals from you then helps you look for what they took. Michell this is your rumor culprit. You must have turned him down before. Smart girl.“

“No they don’t serve Jackalope at Jackalope Ranch but they do have some of the best BBQ Ribs I’ve ever had. Potent potables with tasty brews and a really delicious Old Fashioned that pared nicely with the Tri-tip chimichurri. The ribs are cooked for four hours and are not too sweet or too smoky. Great atmosphere to eat outside at night in the patio surrounded by waterfalls and the cool desert air. If you don’t like kids playing in the grass while you’re trying to eat your barbecue, ask to be seated further away.

Kid-friendliness: May be a bit too noisy because of kids playing out in the patio but if you like kids, it won’t be bad for you“

“Love this place! It’s our “go to”.“
