From the community
I've been coming here for 7 years, since the original location before the fire. I've never had a bad meal. Service can be slow, probably due to inexperience, but the seasoned staff are good. The owner is a nice person who has always supported the LGBTQ community. It's a very welcoming spot.

The food is good, the drinks are good, and the wait staff is good.

“Dinner with a view”
This is the best kept secret in Palm Springs, assuming there are still secrets left.

This place is terrible for breakfast.

“Terrible service”
I ordered a chicken breast sandwich that was so overcooked I had to send it back. The staff, all very young and unprofessional, don't connect with gay people. I gave them 4 chances. I also noticed they don't advertise in any local gay magazines or handouts, though they're happy to take your money.
