A chic and sophisticated décor provides the setting for our distinctive "world cuisine", a provocative mix of zesty influences that creates a delightful dining experience in Palm Springs, California. Plush high-backed semicircular banquettes surround our dining room and offer comfortable and private seating. The cuisine has a light, exotic feel with an emphasis on Pacific Rim specialties, from Chilean Sea Bass baked in Banana Leaves or Kahlua-Barbecued Pork Chops to all sorts of tasty tapas, salads, wood-fired pizzas, and desserts. The Coral Seas Lounge, a hip mid-century style bar is lined with sexy black leather bar-stools and is reminiscent of the upbeat lounges of old Palm Springs. It wraps around the dining room and leads outside to a lush, tropical, 2000 square foot dining patio where a variety of specialty cocktails and old-school favorites are mixed - an ideal place where friends gather and martinis are sipped under the starlit desert sky.

We went for dinner on Christmas Eve; full menu! It was phenomenal! From the moment we arrived, the hostess was welcoming, our table for 5 was ready within 5 minutes (with the accommodation I requested), and our server was attentive and personable! Our food was really yummy…it’s been a long time since I’ve been there and everything was delicious. Two thumbs up for the lamb chops and their Local Salad is fantastic! Everyone enjoyed their meal; short rib, salmon, lobster tail, and fettuccini. Honestly, it was all wonderful and they brought out an Ice Cream Wedge for our birthday celebrant. A great evening!!

My spouse certainly enjoyed her fried chicken, and my son really like his burger. My entree salad with blackened salmon was tasty as well. Service was exceptional. Pricey, but the ambiance made it a worthwhile treat for us.
