    This has become my favorite restaurant in Palm Springs. I have dined there twice with two different groups of friends and everyone loved it. I've eaten at several other Palm Springs favorites (Bar Cecil, Workshop, Farm, Le Valeuris, Copley's, Melvyn's, Pink Cabana, Tac/Quila) - but Alice B. in my opinion is the most inventive and the best bang for the buck. It's spendy but you won't find food like this anywhere else. I'd feel confident about ordering something I normally wouldn't like, and loving it here. Both times the service was wonderful. Based on earlier reviews, perhaps in the beginning they had issues to work out, but they've worked them out. Both times I went it was quite full and the service was prompt, helpful, and friendly. The second time, Chef Alice came to greet us at our table which was lovely. The ambience is nice. It's not an "instagrammable" interior, but rather, quite elegant, lively but not overwhelmingly noisy, and the chairs are comfortable. The bar/lounge area is more casual; I prefer the dining area. I'll keep coming back to this gem!

    We have been eating at Daniel's Table for about 15 years and his food is great. This time we had the Calamari Sauce, Cape Grim Boneless Rib Eye, the short rib and the dates. He has speciality wines and I always allow him to choose the red wine. This is a dining experience and you will be seated so that you can see him prepare the meals.
