Got there at 5:30pm for our 6:30 res. went into the bar first, bar was empty except for all the service staff watching soccer on the tv. When trying to order from the pre-fix menu, our waiter told us the seabass had alot of curry and there was no changing it. We ended up ordering off the regular menu. I... More

There were six of us, so we were able to sit in a cozy, somewhat private 'cabana' outside. The food was excellent with a broad range of offerings. The evening we were there (April 2013) the restaurant was full, so the service seemed a bit slow. The staff was friendly and the ambience lovely.

We love the food, and the atmosphere iis just wonderful If at all possible eat outside. This is a restaurant not to be missed when you are in the Palm Desert or Palm Springs area.

This restaurant came highly recommended and we were disappointed with the service and the value. I selected the Halibut curry special and it was delicious! Yet it was overly expensive and way out of line with the other fish or seafood items on the menu. It was nice to be able to order the half portion of the salad. My... More
