Best French food since I've been to France. Priced for family night out. If you don't go here you will never have real French food cooked with love.

5 Star Prices for 2 star food. Nice atmosphere and freindly staff, but sadly be aloof and did not meet my expectations, especially for the prices. Their web site raves about the mussells, and having lived in France , I was intrigued. I have never had worse mussells in my life. Bland and tasteless, no wine flavor in the broth. I was brought the wrong order., which was rectified without apology. $200 dinner was worth about $55 anywhere else. Pate and escargot were ok. Skp the $12 Kir Royale.

I love Italian food, lived in Northern Italy, and know the real thing. The pizza here is wonderful and the pasta dishes are delicious. Best of all it feels like you're in Italy as you step through the door. My friend from Napoli (a foodie himself) told me about it. And it's very reasonably priced. I'm going back there tonight.

Returned to the desert a few weeks ago and was at Dink's for a book signing event. Stayed for dinner. Drinks are HUGE though pricey, $10 for a martini and cosmo. Decided to have casual dinner, both entrees were quite good; ahi tuna burger and Chinese chicken salad. Tuna was fresh and well prepared, fixings were varied and tasty, bun was fresh and held together. Substituted green beans for chips, no up charge which was a welcome change from former management's practices. Salad was piled high, fresh ingredients, a lot of flavor. Service was spotty though pleasant. Will be back

During our vacation in Palm Springs we stayed at the lovely and very romantic Villa Royale and had dinner in their Europa Restaurant. We were very surprised how busy it was on a Tuesday night, it being an upscale restaurant with a AAA 4 Diamond Award which seems to be a little hard to find and is not visible from the street. We didn't have a reservation, but the Maitre d' was very friendly and gave us a wonderful table right away. We had an exellent dinner experience. The atmosphere was very cozy and romantic, the service was very friendly and our food was delicious. I had the Brie en Croute followed by Ahi Tuna Sevillano and my husband enjoyed the wonderful Ravioli Basilico with seafood, followed by the Scallop and Shrimp Landing. We also shared a great warm chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert. I would definitely return to the Europa Restaurant whenever we get another chance. I was sorry we could not stay until Thanksgiving, as their holiday menu looked delightful. I can greatly recommend the Europa Restaurant for either a romantic dinner for two or a cozy upscale dinner with friends.

This beautiful Spanish Colonial home at the very base of the mountains within walking distance of downtown and the popular "Warm Sands "area is a favored destination of Palm Springs crowds in the know. A pet freindly patio with magnificent views of the Mt. San Jacinto Mountains. This restaurant opened in the blazing heat of the Summer and became overnight the " Hot Spot" breakfast, lunch and dinner.The staff is freindly always cheeerful and the host; what a Southern charmer who dishes out enormous helpings of hospitality. We went back again and again while in town and always left with a good taste in our mouth.

LOLOLOL....sounds like you have a hard on for the Spaghetteria. So sorry you had to open a soda can all on your own....a girl can break a nail and that would ruin the entire eve...not to mention eveyones meal in a 100ft radius of your table. Short of getting catty and sacastic...come on...it's obvious you had a personality conflict with the waitress and you didn't know how to deal with it. Grow up and get on with it. If all you have to do is complain about how a waitress didn't kiss your butt...it's a sad day. Try and enjoy the rest of your life cause honey it's going to be a long frustrating journey for you and everyone close to you.

My husband and I just had breakfast at Bouchee. We have purchased sides to go several times but never actually dined there and now we saw they are serving breakfast so we checked it out. We're going to spread the word - these people know food. Fantastic!

bigdoglouie wrote about Zin American Bistro
We were staying in Palm Springs on a 110 degree night in August, were tired from driving 8 hrs and dressed in our car clothes. We stumbled onto Zin walking down the street. We were greeted as old friends, served a great fixed price dinner, had an excellent, reasonably priced bottle of wine and a great experience. we're passing through Palm Springs again soon, and will definitely return to Zin.

StanD wrote about Giuseppe's Pizza and Pasta
This is the only place in the desert to get great deep dish Chicago style pizza. All of the dishes are terrific. The service (Joe, Sue, & Kimmie) is excellent--friendly yet professional. Great value--highly recommended for eating there or take out.
FancyGirl wrote about New York Bagel & Deli
What happened to this nice little bagel shop. I've lived in Palm Desert for many years but have been gone for the last three. This little shop used to be the best kept secret in the palm springs area. The old ownerJerry made every visit a very enjoyable and delicious experience. What's up with this new owner??? He has his own picture plastered on the walls as if he had anything to do with this shop's success. The staff has also changed making this just another stop on the way home. I must admit, the bagels are still very good but I no longer enjoy sitting and sipping coffee w/a bagel. Jerry...please come back!
ChangeOnSaturday wrote about Caffe Italia Spaghetteria Pizzeria
Terrible! ! Where do I begin?? I know, the MANDATORY GRATUITY for parties of 4 or more. 4 or more!! This gratuity is also incremental, starting at 15% for 4 and "goes up from there" per overbearing, rude daughter/server. The place, when you come in, won't even seat you as I was told to just "sit anywhere". I guess any ol plastic table-clothed table will do for my family. The occasion was my sister in law visiting from Houston, TX and Father in law visiting us from the coast as we just bought a home a few blocks down in PS and this joint was recommended by our new neighbors. Well after the gratuity I shall go to the fact that if you decide that tap water is not all you need to wet your whistle, you will be getting a Coke product in the form of an aluminum can, warm can to be exact. Sadly, I had to open it myself; how dare I assume that when I pay $1.55 for a 12oz can of soda and $15.99 for a meal that the least that I expected was a drink that didn't require a 'tab pop top'. Shame on me. Don't forget that there aren't any refills in that can either or you'll be getting another $1.55 charge. Now you do get bread and a salad with your Chef Boyardee, I mean entree. The bread is Focaccia. You get a nice helping to share amongst the table but don't even think about asking for any butter because said overbearing, rude daughter/server will deny you the butter as if you'd slapped her in the face to think an establishment founded in the antiquity of Florence, Italy would have such a product in their establishment. (More shame on my part!) The salad matched the current flow of the evening as it came as a "bag" salad at best, topped with KRAFT Italian dressing (you have no choice than the "house dressing"**cough**KRAFT**cough**) and then you get a few wilted onions and a half of a slice of tomato, not a whole slice rf a quarter, but a HALF of a slice. The food came out and it was mediocre at best. Nothing special. The stuffed shells I got barely had any cheese on it and the sauce was swimming in a pool of grease. Now throughout the meal, the overbearing, rude daughter/server was laughing and chatting with the "Father"(priest) seated behind us and the lady with her daughter and the table top of 3 around the corner but this can only make me think back to the mandatory gratuity of 15% for 4 we are being forced with(as their were 4 of us) and so this here fact thereby allowing the rudeness as she can, not only treat us like trash because she is going to get her mandatory tip of 15% but that she's the daughter of the establishment owner and therefore has no fear of getting fired. I guess she felt she needs to raise the bar on the 1, 2, ans 3 top tables that she couldn't regulate her tip. Actually I think that they probably have to have such a statute because the service is so poor and the company practices are so shoddy that they'd get no tips otherwise. I have never been so insulted or felt so violated in my life by this "family owned" restaurant.
