We loved every aspect of this experience, from drinks around the fire pit to the delicious beet salad, roasted cauliflower, and roasted Brussel sprouts, and the shrimp dish, to the berry pie, overfilled with berries and nestled in a delectable pie crust. The absolute best flavors I've had out in a long time! Kudos to the chefs!!

Very funky, hip dining in a largely outdoor will decorated place. Everything is à la cart and tapas style but the pasta servings are ample for one person for a meal. Best choice in Joshua Tree.

If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would! We had to wait an hour since we didn't have a reservation and I wouldnt chance a thing!! They have multiple gorgeous spots to hang out while you wait, plus a little general store that is fantastic!!

All of the food and all the drinks were incredible!! I don't remember what all we had, but I know the mushroom dish was an all around favorite! We shared dishes and that made it so much more fun!
