    Strawberries and Cream Waffle
    Ian E.

    We stopped by for a Mother's Day brunch. The patio by the pool is nice. We had sat out there before. If I visit again I'd be interested in sitting inside. The brunch was really good. I ordered the breakfast burrito. It was loaded with all the good stuff: bacon, egg, potato, avocado, salsa. Served on a bed of tortilla chips with a side of salsa verde. My wife ordered a waffle and waffle and thought it was fine. They gave her macaroons to go as a Mother's Day gift, which was sweet. Service was fine. It's always been a tad slow here, but it's ok because I'll spend the extra time soaking in the views and atmosphere.

    Good food good service and fun! This is a great place for a late breakfast or early lunch. Ambience is mid century modern diner. Lots of free parking with easy access.

    We came at night as a party of 4 and for a diner, that was probably one of the most expensive regular grilled chicken sandwiches we have ever had. The coleslaw was plain and crunchy, the grilled chicken was actually more salty and dryer than the crispy chicken. Service was mediocre. No frill, got our order, brought our order and gave us the check. They didn't really check in unless we tried to flag someone down. It was not busy, we were probably the one in 3 groups that were there. There was not too much of an ambiance, it was booth seating and table seating. One plus is I saw dog treats at the entrance so it may be dog friendly.

    King's Highway...more like highway robbery! The increase in prices since Ace has been bought by Seibu Prince Hotels Worldwide is ridiculous. We could have had dinner next door at Mr Lyon's steakhouse for the same price. $23 Espresso martinis is like Four Seasons/Ritz Carlton type BS. And we had to pay a surcharge to dine in???? I've been coming here for more than a decade. Now, I come with my family because my son loves it. The service is great. Wait staff is friendly, so this is not about them at all! The ownership change is going to drive this place into the ground, it's a shame. We heard several others complaining about the same thing. Even drip coffee is $9 when you can walk next door to Koffi and get it for half the price.

    WOW what happened to King's Highway?? If you look at my avocado toast from my previous review vs now the difference is so disappointing. A tiny piece of wheat toast, shoddy presentation, no jammy tomatoes, no sprouts... with a much higher price point?? Same with the breakfast sandwich, no more greens in the sandwich and quite literally just a piece of egg, bacon and cheese under a bun. Also the latte was terrible, it was super foamy and milk was borderline burnt. We typically make an extra Palm Springs stop just to grab breakfast here, but this new menu is NOT it. Sadly won't be returning :(((

    A brief update: Today, I had another wonderful and terrific lunch at King's Highway. The Mid-Eastern Mezzo -Trio dish was perfect. The dish is great for sharing: classic hummus; tzatziki; whipped feta; cucumbers; and pita chips. I have eaten here several times now. Ana, our server, is always so polite, friendly, efficient, and just so down to earth - nice. Ana keeps the ambiance super cool and fun. I come here for the good food, the discounts for locals, and Ana's exceptional service. Ana, thank you for making my meals and visits at King's Highway memorable, pleasant, and enjoyable. I will return!

    This place is wonderful. The vibe is casual hip, and the food is delicious. They have a mezze trio plate that is my favorite. The hummus is the thicker type, which I love, with 2 other dips, grilled pita, and crudite vegetables that are "bottomless". They have a smash burger that is done really well, and their fries are the crispy type. They also make awesome shakes, with the date shake being my fave. Great ambience, friendly service, awesome food. If you're a local be sure to tell them because you get a 25% discount.

    What a Vibe!! Someone suggested us this place for brunch in Palm Springs. The interior is lovely with beautiful details. We had pets with our group so we couldn't sit indoors, however the patio too was perfect to spend a nice time having lunch with live music at the pool and total vacation vibes. We had a trio mezze platter, Fried cauliflower in appetizers. We loved both. Pasta in the main course was okay. It was the only vegetarian option available in main course. I hope they add more vegetarian options. Service was good.

    SHORT ANSWER: Yes in many ways…read more LOCATION: on the corner next to FARM, so a fall back if you do not have FARM reservations and hate disappointment of being turned away. FACILITY: Small, limited seating indoors with very nice, fun, outdoor seating areas. Love this place. MENU: Simple, easy to understand, great photos online if you have any questions. FOOD PREP: Very well done, like professional in just how it looks. FOOD QUALITY: Professional in how it also tastes... Watermelon Gazpacho was perfect with drinks prior to main. LIBATIONS: drinks and bartender were excellent, fun, and the photo print was very cool. WAITSTAFF: just so nice, and fun making the experience all that much better. We have been enjoying The Plaza Theater so spending a little more time in Palm Springs and this will be one of our favorites places to relax prior to an event. OVERALL VALUE: Good, but it is Palm Springs, outdoors, great locations, classy.. no, not inexpensive but well worth it. TIP: I'd say be nice, be patient, and you will get a table. Don't be an angry rude touron, we don't need that vibe and we see some of that in PS.. You can try for reservations, not sure if they take off season.

The wine selection rotates often, and I always ask for a recommendation. Never once been disappointed. The cocktails are excellent too, and it's clear the martinis are a specialty and very popular. And don't get me started on the bar food. There are so many good options it's hard to choose -- the flatbreads, the bacon-wrapped dates (a local favorite done to perfection), the meatballs, the charcuterie, and so many more... it all pairs so well with the drinks. More than once we've cancelled our dinner plans because we filled up on all the goodies here. This has become our regular spot to catch up with friends, and the community feel is hard to beat. And, we love supporting local small business! Can't recommend it enough.

It caught our attention as we had stayed in two different Kimpton Hotels in Seattle prior. We wanted to grab a drink at the Window Bar (not knowing that was its actual name, but the conversation we had with the bartender about that window shining too much light at certain parts of the morning definitely gave me a chuckle in hindsight). We happened to be a bit early since he had not been able to finish setting up shop yet. We went ahead and waited until he was ready without rushing him because we ourselves weren't in any rush at all. Surrounded by a ton of nice interesting artwork, it was a pure joy to enjoy a drink or two in this environment. The bar can be found at the corner on the other side of the hotel concierge in plain sight from such a big space for a lobby, directly left upon entrance through the front. Since it was slow in the morning, we were able to chat it up with the bartender and even explore a bit of experimentation in the form of a particular top secret cocktail that every mixologist knows. I definitely exercised my etiquette and reading the conditions to even suggest it. He couldn't be any nicer about our time with him. So yeah, Christopher H. from 9/9/18, I don't know what you're talking about. I make it a point to visit the bar at any Kimpton location nowadays. I always seem to have a good time. But then again, I can only speak for myself. Parking: Street, unless you're a guest at the hotel. FYI: - Despite the hours on Yelp saying this place is open from 4-10pm, they might open earlier, as we joined in at around 11am or noon. But don't hold me to it. If there's somebody at the bar, you'll need to simply ask if it is open yet.

If you didn't know better you'd think you were in LA in the summer, excepty for the bocce ball. They have an excellent selection of spirits, cocktails. Maybe a little varied, but decently creative. The only thing that gets me is pricing. Sure you pay for everything for decor, glassware and not just spritis, but I recall wondering how they price their drinks becuase not everything is equal or standard mark up when some things aren't house made it's easy to cost out becuase you stop paying for creativity after a certain point. It feels like they took alot of Mr. Lyons business model and use that for pricing rather than a sole entity with their own margins. The service makes up for it, the ambiance makes up for it. The crowd makes up for it. Far less wrinkled and aging snowbirds and retirees circling the drain in their waning days. People dressing up and celebrating, genuine convivialness abounds with most guests. It's not somewhere else trying bring that vibe here, it's pretty authentic. It's separate from nextdoor other than shared bathrooms, so don't be surprised when you feel like your in a different world. Most people who wander between the 2 take pause and awe for a few seconds before their mood shifts to match the room. Not a place to get sloppy and party that way unless it's a closed event.

Strawberries and blueberries for the bougie bubbly effect. And for the price, it's worth it. Food wise, we went with the chicken sandwich with salad and the burger with fruit. A side of fries is definitely a must even if it comes with it. Portion for the sandwich was massive. Nice thick piece of grilled and marinaded chicken breast filled with lettuce, tomatoes, onion and avocados on toasted bread. It's massive even when they sliced it in halves. And the burger, two nice patties with lettuce, tomato, cheese, onion and bacon. A classic and it was delicious. I'm not a burger person but every now and then a bite is worth it. The food has alway been excellent. Crowd is alway nice and bubbly. It's cute chit chatting with the other guest nearby. Also we found out that they close for about two months in July and August as that's their holiday time. Glad we made it before it happened. It's a nice place for brunch as it's alway our go to whenever we can't figure out something.
