A really special evening out, in one of the loveliest settings in town. We were lucky to have Desie and Abby as our servers, who were friendly and knowledgeable. The ribeye was fantastic!

Fantastic atmosphere and solid service. Was expecting more from the food based on the Michelin affiliation. Unfortunately the chicken mole as a main course was too basic for my own taste and the green salad had too much fish sauce to my liking. The John Dory was very flavorful and the sauce with zucchini and corn had a nice citrus touch.

Lovely ambiance and good leisurely service. The servers were very gracious and accommodating and we had a lovely long dinner enjoying cocktails and time between courses so we didn't feel stuffed when we left. The food was solidly good but not amazing. My chicken was slightly over cooked and dry but the flavors of the sauce were good. The salads were very very nice. Overall I recommend.

Such a charming place! Feels like you’re in a beautiful cabin in the woods instead of in downtown Palm Springs (nothing wrong with that but so great to sit by a roaring fire on a chilly evening). The staff were wonderful and the food was yummy. New fav!
