    This feedback is for OT since the restaurant claims you impose the $30/person hold to make a reservation but the messaging in the app makes it sound like that is a restaurant rule. I suggest considering if you’re genuinely representing your position to the consumer. Other than that leaving a bad taste in my mouth (pun intended), I love this place. Great setting, above average food, great drinks, and quiet enough to enjoy the people you’re with.

    It’s always a delight at the Kings Highway. Staff is always really cool. The Amigo room is under construction, so we hope that 70’s retro feel doesn’t change. Also nice to sit and have a beer or cocktail by the pool

    Our Christmas dinner was our first visit to the Purple Room, and it was such an enjoyable experience from the jazz standards played by the quartet to the food and to the welcome we received. Kudos to the owner, who was the perfect host. The food offerings from the prix fixe menu catered for everyone's needs. I tasted my wife's vegan meal, and it was delicious as was my meal. So glad we reserved a seating, which made for a perfect end for Christmas and visit to Palm Springs.

    I had a Grilled Chicken Caesar salad. It was delicious, properly made with romaine, real grilled chicken (still hot from the grill) and came with a quality house-made dressing. One of the best salads I've had in a long time. Worth going back for more.
