All Around a lovely brunch.

  Double pepperoni pizza and Linguine Bolognese both have okay flavors the Linguine Bolognese does not really should our flavor but decent for what it is and the pizza is like... MORE your average pizza not premium but good for the price

  Nice patio with shade and misters on El Paseo in Palm Desert and a friendly waiter that told us it was happy hour when we arrived at 3:20. Such a... MORE great value and tasty too.

  Great location on fabulous El Paseo. Outside dining with warm, friendly staff.  We started with Kitchen 86 bread (plenty for 3 guests).  My Rigate Con Sarge with chicken penne in... MORE a delicious lite tarragon sauce was perfect (leftover). The Chicken Picada served with fresh green beans and mashed potatoes, also delicious (leftover). Scampi Borracho served with white rice and fresh green beans, which was also  perfect (leftover). Portions are large .  House Chardonnay (Napa) complimented our meal. Ample parking.

  Has this on my try list on my visit to the desert. Ordered the meatballs and they were melt in your mouth good. The big screen TV was playing an... MORE NBA game and the place was packed. I was a little thrown by  families dining in the bar area. It threw off the vibe of the place. Service was good.

  Came here Coachella weekend at 2pm after avoiding all the local hot spots during season and it did not disappoint. Great food and great service

  Excellent food, patio and service.  One of my favorites on El Paseo for sure.  Try the mushroom pizza!

  All round great vibe, excellent for late night dining. Lots of vegan options- much appreciated. Lots of live music and DJ's makes such a fun vibe.

  Great place for brunch! We sat outside and the patio coverings plus misters effectively combated the heat. Our server was friendly and happily provided a recommendation for the breakfast pizza,... MORE which my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed. I ordered the veggie scramble which was pretty good. And bottomless mimosas for $15 was a great deal! I'd recommend and return next time I'm in lovely Palm Desert.

  Great service. Amazing waiter. We sat outside which was nice. Food was great! I asked for veggies instead of rice and got a hefty uncharge without a warning. That was... MORE a bummer. Other than that, couldn't be happier with our meal. Salmon is insanely delish!
