My daughter and I stood at the entrance for several minutes without being greeted. During that time, the manager was visibly overwhelmed and speaking harshly to the young hostesses, who appeared uncomfortable and trying to maintain composure. Despite this, no one acknowledged us until I offered a friendly "Happy Cinco de Mayo," at which point a hostess kindly stepped in to seat us. Unfortunately, the situation escalated. Twice, as we were being seated, the manager abruptly intervened -- placing reserved signs down and yelling at the hostess, myself and daughter we could not sit there. His tone was harsh, dismissive, and unnecessarily confrontational. This happened two times at two different tables that we were escorted to by the hostess and in front of my young daughter. Needless to say it was both uncomfortable and humiliating. I have never experienced a restaurant manager behave with this level of disrespect toward a guest, especially a woman with her child. I felt embarrassed and heartbroken that my daughter had to witness this. When I calmly approached him to understand the situation, he responded by stating they had "400 reservations," followed by dismissive and aggressive body language that made it clear we were not welcome. The interaction ended with us leaving and both tears. My daughter said "I'm scared mommy, why was that man so mean". A guest from the restaurant who was dinning and witnessed the incident came out just to see if we were ok. Equally concerning was how he treated his own staff, especially female staff setting a negative and unprofessional tone throughout the front of house. As someone from a fourth-generation family in the restaurant industry, I find this especially disheartening. I would be deeply concerned if any manager in our organization treated a guest or employees this way. I understand holidays are demanding, but being busy does not excuse a lack of basic respect and professionalism. I am sharing this in hopes that upper management addresses this directly. No woman / person and her child should have to experience this kind of treatment.

The decor is simple, clean and you can see the cooks working through the busy pass through. Plenty of parking. The chips are fresh, crispy and lightly salted. The salsa is outstanding with the right amount of heat. It was lunch time and I'm not much for alcohol so I didn't try any of the drink offerings this visit... next time!

This was a huge disappointment. When you enter the scene looks nice. We were seated and given menus. No silverware or napkins on our table, but the others were set. After we ordered we were offer water. It would have been nice to have when we were seated as it is 110 degrees outside. When our food arrived we had to request silverware and a napkin. My burger was tasteless, overcooked and the mushrooms on it were cold. The ketchup was watery. Fries also bland. Had to request salt. I went to use the restroom before leaving. There was zero toilet paper in the first stall and there was adhesive tape stuck to the seat. In the other stall one roll of TP out of 2 available. I washed my hand and then looked around for something to dry them with. No paper towel holder, no hand dryer, nothing to use anywhere to dry my hand. Very strange. The music was so loud my husband could barely hear anything I said. Spanish music videos playing on the 2 big screens. Not really an upscale experience for the price. We will not return to this restaurant again. Oh, and they only serve beer and wine, so if you are interested in cocktails this is not the place. Yikes! read more

Came in for breakfast and left seriously impressed. I ordered the fluff two pancakes, and they were exactly what you'd hope for--light, fluffy, and topped just right with fresh strawberries and blueberries. Simple, but done really well. If you're into sweeter coffee, do yourself a favor and get the Café de Olla. It's warm, rich, and has that comforting sweetness that pairs perfectly with breakfast. My wife had the chilaquiles with eggs over easy, and that dish stood out. The twist? The base chips were more like mini quesadillas, which gave the whole plate a deeper, savory bite. Topped with a flavorful salsa, it was unique and absolutely delicious. The breakfast menu is short, but everything we tried hit the mark. What caught my attention too is how much the menu expands for lunch and dinner--lots more options, even a full sushi section. The vibe is sleek and modern with a touch of chic--definitely a place that feels elevated but still comfortable. Check out the photos to get a feel for it. Bottom line: just go try it. This place knows what it's doing. read more

Food, drinks, and service were all top-tier from start to finish. I went with the ribeye tacos--packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and easily the highlight of the meal. The salsa that came with them was unforgettable, adding the perfect kick and bringing everything together. What really stood out, though, was the service. The staff was warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They went out of their way to make sure everything was just right and were especially great with kids, which made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot worth coming back to. read more

*Oceana's Breeze in the Desert*…read more The star of the night was the octopus appetizer. Best ever. Seriously. Fresh. Tender. Juicy. Succulent. The Hummus and Demi glaze was Fantastico. And so was our sweet and lovely waitress, Alo. She's attentive, friendly, charming and such a doll. Wifey told her "you're the best waitress we've had in the entire Coachella Valley. And I agree 100%. Wifey's hibiscus margarita was unique, flavorful and refreshing. She forget to tell them "no salt." But it all worked out for the better, because the salt & chili powder spice rim on the glass, kicked it up another notch. I sampled it with a couple sips and totally agree. I'm generally a h2o dude when I eat...and loved the glass water bottle left table-side. More restaurants need to offer this. All our food was outstanding. My Branzino/fish was excellent quality and prepared perfectly. But a little too much sauce for my liking. I prefer Branzino when it's grilled whole with a light sauce. The piccata style was prepared well and the texture too. The sauce was good but a little salty for me -- especially with all the capers, and would prefer a little more lemon flavor. The rice was overly salty and wifey mentioned it to me before I even had my first bite. She had the Bosa Verde and enjoyed it very much. We both happily cleaned our plates. The squash was perfect and paired well with our entrees. Free complementary birthday dessert for wifey was just okay. Though we appreciated the thought and celebratory gesture...it was prepared with way too much gelatin and was like thick tres leche milk jello...and with ice cream too on top -- diary overkill. The carmel sauce was right on the money. Perhaps the preparation is their take on this dessert? Next time, we're going to be all over that Carlata Cake we saw at one of the other tables. The service is top-tier & polished. Couldn't ask for better hospitality. Along with Alo, was Daniel (who I recognized from Salsas) and the bartender Alex, who both happily joined in on the action. Chef Oscar, also made his way to our table to say hello & Happy Birthday. And of course let's not forget the classy & gracious owner, Fernando, who we shared a wonderful conversation with. He's a sharp dressed man, with lots of restaurant and resort history in the Coachella Valley. The restaurant & bar decor is simple yet chic, elegant and cozy. The lighting & room temp was perfecto. And the chairs at our table were extremely comfortable -- which encouraged more enjoyment and lingering. I've read some reviews claiming the restaurant is very loud. We did not experience that. Thankfully. The octopus alone is enough to bring us back for a lite bite at the bar...and more dining experiences to sample more of the menu, for both lunches & dinners. Looking forward to trying their ahi tacos -- served only at lunch. My wife had her choice to dine at any restaurant she wanted for her birthday. Since we both love great fish, we narrowed it down to Oceana and their reputation. Thanks, Oceana...for making just another ordinary Birthday, more special, memorable and extraordinary. {{{Big~High~Five}}} Grandslam We're Fans

The fajita arrives on a sizzling cast iron skillet with generous amounts of grilled onions and carmelized red peppers. We rounded our order out with their house guacamole.
