My prime flat iron steak came out much closer to medium-well than the medium-rare I ordered, but nonetheless, the food was great. The restaurant was clean and had a nice, calm atmosphere. Side note: I'm sure that if I had asked them to take the steak back and bring out one cooked more accurately to medium-rare, they would have done so without hesitation. Very nice staff overall.

Service was great, ambiance was very relaxing, the food was good. I had high expectations with the oysters considering that it's a "fisherman's" place, but it is just passable. Not bad either--it delivered, but I felt that they could have elevated the experience by enhancing (at least) the condiments. The Shrimp Cocktails was delicious. My husband loved his Jumbo Scallops and I liked my Salmon Club sandwich.

It's easily in the triple digits out here so i was wearing shorts and flip flops and we were not turned away. Our waiter Winston was kind and attentive and gave great recommendations. They start you off with warm sourdough bread and butter, which is complementary. Our drinks arrived. We ordered a cucumber spritz and a Long Island both were made to perfection. We ordered the grilled octopus, scallops and a half order of the Sea bass. The octopus was so tender and tasty! The scallops were cooked to perfection and the sea bass was full of flavor. I loved how many of their dishes are available in full or half portions depending on how hungry you are.

This location is part of a strip mall with plenty of parking out in the lot. There's a pretty massive patio and outside bar area with seating which wasn't utilize as it was majorly hot outside. They did have mister to believe. We of course sat inside. When we walked in, there was no one dining as the only other patron had just finished and walked out. That in-between lunch time. It was one of those things, do we stay or do we leave.... The waitress that was working that afternoon, Michelle was the sweetest. So welcoming and friendly which is alway a good sign. As it was our first time here, she gave us a thoughtful breakdown of everything. Good customer service if I do say so. Menu, if you want seafood, this is your place. They had specials that go on all day with a good list of about 8 or so items to choose from. Lunch specials were also offered and then you have the main menu. Alcohol was also on the list. There's also a big menu along the board if you were waiting in line to order. Everything is done at the counter and food will be brought out to you when ready. They also have a soda station for your helping and the condiments are set aside there too. Menu did have a good selections of items. But limited on their pastas, which probably a given as it's a seafood place. They only had linguine and clams. We went with an order of the 3 fish and chips from the all day menu. That came with thick cut seasoned fries which were delicious and Cole slaws. The all day specials come with two sides I believe. Also an order of the ceviche which was from the starter menu. Fish was quite tasty and lightly battered which was great. Tasty and flakey which the battered was great. Not overly covered where it basically defeated the purpose but this place was nice. Also tater sauce was also accompanied. The ceviche was decent and came with tortilla chips. Nice decent size cup with avocado chunks on top but it wasn't that juicy. Wasn't that much juice, maybe it was just scooped and drained when served. It was decent. Also an extra side of the fries which were great. Thick cut and seasoned. The service was great and our waitress Michelle working that afternoon was a major doll. The sweetest and friendliest and so welcoming. The restaurant is full service minus the ordering. You order at the counter but your food will be brought to your table. It did pick up during our meal but we also noticed that it was a major go to for takeout. Everything was fresh and didn't take long to come out. There's also the downtown location that we need to try out next.

But now and again, you want to try someplace and something new. It's that comfort knowing what you like and expect so you won't be disappointed. Well, the good and trusty friend called Yelp. We found this place and decided to give it a try. It's located in the Date Palm Country Club community. Just along Date Palm before the bridge and before you reach downtown Cathedral City. It's maybe a 2 minute drive after you enter the gate. First off, it's part of the country club which we found out while we were there that it's a 55 and older community. Restaurant is next to the club house and pool area. There's a decent amount of parking along the side as well as main lot. We stopped by around 7pm for dinner. Didn't make reservations but walk in. There had to be something going on as when we walked in, the place was packed. We came in through the back area where the patio and bar was. Even the bar area was packed. At first we didn't know where to go until one of the patron mentioned to us that we may need to check in with the hostess at the front entrance. I love that everyone was so friendly. And let me say, it was lively and pretty packed. Both the restaurant side and bar were packed as there was a party happening at one of the table. We were seated at one of the tables in the main dining area but it was a little too loud for us which we were then guided to the bar area and seated at the counter.It was fine. These guest can party...lol... It does cater to the mature guest which they were the greatest. I feel like a lot of the patrons are residents but chatting with some of the others in the bar area, they do get a lot of locals stopping in for a meal and drinks. Main dining room was packed with diners and people dancing as there was entertainment. Plus the music choice was excellent as well as the singer. Bar was no different, it was packed. We were seated at the bar counter which was pretty packed just as well. Menu, it was a mixture of everything and the price was very affordable. It did take a while to be taken cared of which was expected with everything going on. Bartender did acknowledge us at least we knew we were seen. For dinner, we ordered the chopped wedge but was brought out the Caesar salad instead. We did mentioned to the bartender which she did take it back to the kitchen. Entrees, the chicken Parmesan served with spaghetti and zucchini. Chicken was good, nothing wow but tasty. Pasta was decent but the sauce was a bit too sweet for me. Overall it was fine. Also the carbonara was ordered. That comes either the small portion or large. We opted for the small. Decent size bowl with bacon and peas in a rich cream sauce. Overall, I've had better. Flavor was fine but nothing major to rave about. Halfway through the meal, you could see how greasy the dish was. Given there's cheese but it was greasy. As there was a birthday happening, the host did bring out cake for everyone which was very sweet. The crowd was pretty lively and sweet. Everyone was so friendly enjoying their drinks and meals. It did look like it was the residents but we did noticed that a lot of the patrons at the bar counter were locals. For the price it's very good. Food was decent, service was ok but the staffs were amazing and very friendly. There was little glitch twice with the alarm during dinner but it did get situated. Overall we enjoyed ourself.

We got there exactly an hour before closing and planned to just get some sandwiches. We weren't greeted when we walked in, there was only one other table of diners. But it's the off-season so we weren't really too concerned, we weren't directed to any seats so we just picked a table. The lady behind the counter came over with full menus, and we were excited to peruse, however she then said they are only serving salads for the day because they are closing in 30 minutes. We didn't think sandwiches would really be a problem to make, but I guess they weren't really concerned about getting as much business as they could for the day. It felt rushed and unwelcoming like we were bothering her by coming in an hour before closing. It's unfortunate because the place has an otherwise cozy feel. I'm not sure if we will make the effort to come back because it was inconvenient to drive over, park in the heat and then have to leave because they were closing early and weren't offering 90% of the menu. Hope this place survives because it is charming, but the service seems strange, I would think any business would want to make good money, especially when it's already slow in the off-season. Oh well.

Unfortunately, this experience did not meet our expectations. The French toast we ordered was not impressive, and to add to our frustration, they were out of another dish we wanted. Additionally, they ran out of toppings to complete the meal. We ultimately settled for a simple breakfast of eggs, potatoes, and bacon, which included fruit; however, some of the food appeared spoiled. To compensate, we were told we could choose two free pastries--something it seemed like they offered regularly since another guest also received free pastries. Even so, this was not enough to make up for the overall poor experience. The service declined further towards the end of our meal. After we had finished brunch, we were asked questions that seemed out of place. The establishment feels more like a café than a full-service kitchen, as evidenced by their inability to prepare eggs cooked over medium, insisting only scrambled eggs were possible. I have rarely encountered a restaurant unable or unwilling to meet such a basic request. Given this experience, I do not plan to return. I hope you take this feedback seriously to improve service and food quality going forward.
