    Everything from the food to the host and server were wonderful. HOWEVER the loud dance music blasting from the bar area was quite annoying. Since we were dining relatively early we did not expect the music to be at a level that made conversation difficult. Loved the food and restaurant in general and will be back but with noise canceling headphones- I’ll just text my dinner mates!!! PS - hotel is gorgeous! Great addition to Palm Springs.

    We have been eating at Miro's for 20+ years and we love it. My only short coming is I do not do a review each time we are there. We try to eat there 10 times a year. The food is always excellent. My loves the Schnitzel with and the stroganoff. Since I have had everything on the menu at least once I always lean toward the specials. This time it was the Ahi Tuna which was great, They also served a new bean soup which was perfect,
