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.

We came here for lunch and loved the meal, the music, and just the really quality kinda low key lovely setting. We loved it so much we came back for dinner! It was a 90s hip hop music night out in the garden which was a little loud for my man but I enjoyed and we both greatly enjoyed the meal. I'm very impressed with the wine list, great coffee too!
