   We had no idea what to expect….but what a great last night to our time in Palm Springs! Menu seemed daunting, but bartender was able to give great descriptions and suggestions! Had planned on stopping elsewhere afterwards, but ended up trying most of the menu and wine list and stayed for a couple of hours! Music and ambiance were perfect for the small intimate space! A small but mighty menu! Thank you!

   Excellent food and drinks. Great small plates menu. Prices are very reasonable. You do have to book which you couldn’t in the past but that is not a bad thing to as it guarantees a seat. Well worth a visit.

   The setting is great, and the service was excellent. The best way for me to describe the two appetizers ordered for happy hour is that it should be embarrassing for them. The "Cod Cakes" were incredibly small and had the taste and consistency of an average frozen fish cake from the grocery store. The shrimp platter was tiny and extremely overdone with cayenne. The wines were good, as expected.

   Dear Bob, Thanks for sharing your feedback. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the setting and the service—those are always key elements of a great dining experience. However, I’m sorry to hear the appetizers didn’t meet your expectations. It’s disappointing when food doesn’t live up to its promise, especially when the flavors or portions don’t align with what you anticipated. I’ll be sure to pass your comments along to the kitchen team so they can take a closer look at the preparation and seasoning of the dishes. We appreciate your input, and I hope your next experience is a better one! Miguel Herrera Director of Restaurants

   Our first visit was looking forward to dining here. This place is totally disorganized. When I went to schedule online they only had bar seating available so I booked it. When we arrived the restaurant was only a 1/3 full ???. They gave us a table after all. They have a full bar yet no cocktail or drink menu ??? Our drinks took about 15 min to arrive and I’m noticing table next to us was also getting frustrated. They had plenty of wait staff running around so I’m not sure what the problem was. What was a highly anticipated night turnout not so fun and we couldn’t wait to get out off there.

   The ambiance is intimate, with a vintage aesthetic that transports you to another era—perfect for a relaxed night out or a special occasion. The wine selection is exceptional, featuring a curated list that spans classic favorites and adventurous new options. Paired with the creative tapas menu, each dish is an exploration of flavor that complements the wines beautifully. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, adding to the sophisticated yet inviting vibe.
