Great place to eat in 29 palms. We reserved a table and that was necessary. There was live music. E sat in the courtyard area where most tables are and in July after a hot day it was very comfortable there. The terrace looks great. The menu is somewhat special and dishes are served as they come out of the kitchen so choose to share. This was all explained clearly by our waitress. We had Brussels sprouts, tortilla de patatas, mushroom toast, lamb chops, chicken and smash burger...

This restaurant is a fantastic little find. My husband and I shared a summer salad, the lamb pops, jerk chicken and some coconut rice. The lamb was juicy and flavoursome, the jerk not too spicy, and the salad was dressed just right. We finished with a homemade key lime pie which was to die for. We liked it so much we immediately booked for the following night.

Don't hesitate, make the reservation. The setting alone is perfection. The food is amazing. Even my teenage daughters approved (they loved the burgers and the Instagram worthy backdrop to their pics). Definitely a “must do” in Twentynine Palms.
