Beautiful outdoor patio - we could watch the surfers with mountains in the background. Our waiter was really nice and very helpful - suggested entrees when we asked his opinion, was on top of everything. Our entrees were a salmon & vegetable bowl, honey glazed sweet potatoes (delicious), and a burger with waffle fries. Dessert: dark chocolate mousse with whipped cream & toffee honeycomb. We’ll definitely go back, and will bring friends. Ambiance was fun and the place is beautiful. We got to walk around and check out the cabana areas, the surfer pool, water slides. It’s a well thought out facility.

This is a GREAT new addition to the Palm Springs dining scene! The indoor/outdoor space is gorgeous, the food is yummy and the service was excellent - especially for a new restaurant. I loved the schnitzel, the chicken was tasty and the charred broccolini was amazing. Cocktails were innovative. Will def go back!

We had a wonderful experience! Every item was delicious and beautifully presented. Date shake was the best ever. Hibiscus tea colada was so delicious, as was the berry and Greek Yogurt. The club sandwich was bountiful and tasty. Beautiful decor in a relaxed setting. Service was friendly and attentive. You can dine without paying to be in the Surf Club, but you can see the action and pools, right outside of the restaurant. We will definitely be back!

Heard great things about this place, so went to check it out, thinking it would be cute to watch people learn to surf and have something nice for lunch. The menu was more limited than we expected, so we just had a wrap and a salmon bowl. The food was tasty enough, a bit pricey for the portion sizes. Our server was on-point, attentive but not overbearing, very kind. Was a bit surprised/disappointed that the view wasn't really of the surfing pool, but the lazy river, which wasn't nearly as entertaining to watch. Apparently you can see the surfing pool from the outside patio, but that was closed as they prepared it for an event. Enjoyed ourselves enough, but it wasn't quite as special a 'thing' as we had thought it might have been, were the food a bit more upscale, the view a bit more surfer.

The uniqueness of the restaurant is the best feature. It’s a lovely facility. The menu was limited. The steak bowl was tasty, the Moroccan chicken bowl was not. Service was so-so.
