    Love me some Oscars. Want something to do on a Sunday? Oscar's! I'm here 2 - 3 Sundays a month. Come to the 1pm drag brunch then stay for the tea dance! Staff and customers alike are all super friendly. Cashless establishment, bring your plastic. The outdoor tea dance offers your favorite disco hits with a modern flare, confetti cannons, bubbles, folks with flags, folks with tambourines and 4 bartenders keeping the spirits flowing! Get there between 3p - 4p for happy hour prices and no cover charge!

    6 of us came to celebrate a friend's bachelorette at the B****iest Brunch and WOW. Come prepared with your dolla dollas because these queens sure know how to SLAY! Yes, be prepared to pay for overpriced $20+ Lox bagel and refillable coffee, but in my opinion, the entertainment was well worth it. And as bonus, if you follow them on IG, you get a chance to win a gift card...which 2 of us won and the meal was practically complimentary! What I appreciate is that the host kicks things off with a vibe check of the audience. Expect some dark or crude humor sprinkled throughout. Sometimes the host drinks your mimosa but don't worry - they always replace your glass lol! I'm so glad we came on a DISNEY THEMED Sunday, wouldn't want any other theme! Disney songs cranked up with some savage and sass, and not only did they dance and lip sync to classic songs, they had skits. I loved this because some other drag brunches I've been to just felt like they came out and collected bills... no show or craft whatsoever. Overall, above and beyond performances with nonstop crowd hype! Afterwards, we took pics with the queens and even took pics inside the building with the Oscars backdrop. Recommend this experience for any bachelorette party in Palm Springs!

    Drag Brunch at Oscar's was fun and heartfelt. We were however somehow the token gays at drag brunch- very female heavy attendance. But overall we had a good time - A+ drag stats included Kennedy Davenport and excellent local/WeHo drag queens. The food was decent and the bloody Mary's were delicious. The hostess, Lewanda, is a stroke survivor and raises awareness about brain health. She's also Damn Funny!!

    Oscar's is a PS and DTPS must! This gathering galley of entertainment, laughter and music is a fun filled safe space for all. Hosting Tuesday through Saturday from 5:30 PM to 1 AM as well as the iconic weekend Bitchiest Drag Brunch with thee Anita Rose O'hara, a very amazing person inside and out of drag who has also become a friend we've been getting to know better. Love you, Anita! In a group of eight we arrived in pairs of two for an iconic, warm Saturday Funday brunch about 40-45 minutes or so before the main show which started around 11 AM (doors opened at 10 AM - recommended to arrive then for food and drink orders). We had an additional small table added as we originally put in for a group of six, but updated the night before and it was updated in the morning, but the table wasn't set up right away - they took care of it right away once everyone was there. I ordered their avocado toast, breakfast potatoes and fresh fruit. Once I saw the bottomless mimosas coming out I put in for this during the show as orders were coming out... Unfortunately for me and my friend Adam (who sat across from me as we rode over together), although arriving before most of our party... Our food was forgotten - we ended up not being able to eat until the late second half of the show after most of the table was done. This also happened with a few people in the middle of the party next to us, the middle doesn't get as much love as the rest. I only received my Avocado Toast, nothing else... No mimosas for me :_ ( and only one refill for Adam). Needless to say I was very hungry and though the toast was enjoyable enough, hardly enough food for the amount. Also hadn't had anything since 8PM the day before and it was close to The breakfast/brunch menu is not too overwhelming and they have some solid Chef's Favorites, Classics and Sides in the mix. I just wish I got to try more of it. I did get to try a potato or two from the group - sad I couldn't redonate and fill my tummy as they were yummy. I was very happy that Cliff (the birthday boy man), Rhyannon (his person), our friends Shaun, Carl and Rhyannon's sister and wife had everything they needed and wanted. Kudos to Shaun for six refills on mimosas. All the bills, because tipping is essential especially you performers, servers and essential folks making your brunch or events at Oscar's better. Loved all the performers especially Michael Silas and Brooklyn like New York. Luna LaFierce, Daisy Hollywood and of course the iconic hostess Anita Rose O'Hara were all top tier as well. 5 stars - For the fun, the amazing entertainment, kind owner (Dan) and staff. 3 stars - For the missed orders, forgotten about drinks, and the lack of airflow and the strange aroma only in the main entrance area more noticeable at the end of my first real Oscar's experience. Some of their other long running events such as Sunday T-Dance with DJ Mod Girl have definitely caught my eye. Might eat ahead next time and just do drinks.... So that I make sure I actually get food and all of it lol Our server did comp a lot to make up for it including my entire order plus my friend Adam's, and apologized more than once. They have/will have shows outside in cooler months and seasons in their very spacious patio/front entrance area. I would love to enjoy one of these. Q Tips: Parking is street and neighboring garage - almost all free with just time restrictions. Reservations are fundamental! Restroom just to the right down the hall along the main entrance and bar area.

    Really enjoyed my time here! Drinks were flowing with bottomless & i will say the food was terrible but i really only came for the queens & bottomless so i didn't care! I would highly recommend it here! Best part after the show there is a club!

    Went to the Sunday tea dance and it was a blast. Crowded but lovely and people were having a good time. Go-go boys were an added treat. A fine time for sure. Get there before four and there is no cover charge.

    Oscars is so fabulous!

    We've gone a couple times to The Bitchiest Brunch, which we just adore! The first time we went we were seated furthest from the stage which is in an outdoor plaza. (which was perfect for our first time since we were just coming off of COVID) We assumed these were the bad seats, but we were pleasantly surprised to find that the drag queens made it around to every person during every song! The ladies went all out to dazzle us with their hair, makeup, costumes and dance moves. We clapped and sang along - so much fun! We've gone back for brunch with family and friends visiting out of town, and it really is a hoot. The crowd is always eclectic, with bachelorette parties, locals, families, straight and gay couples - you're all friends by the end of the show. We made sure to get lots of $1 bills and tipped each performer twice during their songs. Now that the heat of summer is upon us, we will be going to a night time drag show to avoid the heat.

    We watched an excellent drag show here for drag brunch. All the queens were amazing and put on a great show. The food was also very good. I ordered an Avocado Toast with a side of Applewood Bacon, as well as Bottomless Mimosas. It took a very long time for the food to come out, which is understandable, since there was lots of people there at the drag brunch, but it was still a little much. A lot of our dishes and glasses were dirty and had to be sent back when we first got there as well.

    I came here for a drag brunch, which I'd never experienced before. It was a fun experience but definitely expensive. You must account for tickets, the brunch itself and additional money to give to the performers. All of the drag queens were talented and enjoyable to watch. Our server Michael was attentive and lovely. Be careful of how you deliver the money to the performers- some were waving money which we found out is offensive and at the end an intense speech was given about etiquette which was startling. The food was mediocre and overpriced. Overall fun to try and if you enjoy drag you will likely enjoy this experience.

    Drag queen host with my girlfriend

    Came for the brunch & drag show. To be quite honest, I was a bit let down. I've been to drag shows where they actually come out dressed as different stars; and even if they lip sink, they sing through a song wearing costumes to dress just like the star. However, here they just played music and the Drag queens came out, danced through the audience asking for tips-- which they provide plenty of one dollar bills for your $20's (even encouraged everyone to cash in) so everybody could get the queen to dance by their table. There wasn't really any acting or performing except that they were dancing well, but not really "impersonating" any star in particular. What is more, we had the impression from the website that brunch was included. Nope. No brunch included. Not the case. Rather you were handed menus and asked to order drinks and food above and beyond. The menu was very limited. Overall, it was just so so in my opinion.

    This is a beautiful space and it has nice folks running it. However, I would not recommend the NYE event unless it's something that you are certain you want to do. The ticket booking experience was so bad. The portal does not give you much information and the tickets are all the same. There is no way to book together as a table once you reach a certain size. The price is also the same regardless of whether you want the buffet or not. The event is $150 and comes with a buffet. It is very cold and there are not enough heat lamps to make the event warm. It would be fine if they allowed you to move between the club and the patio. But you have to stay on the patio the whole time until after midnight. They tell you that they will combine the club and the patio before midnight but they never did. The performance also started an hour late. The event advertised the performances would start at 9:30 PM, but when we asked management they knew that the performances started at 10:30 PM. Again, it would be okay if they allowed people in the club, but they do not tell you anything and so you're left outside just waiting. The drag performers and our waiter Tim were excellent, but the event was really a bust for what they charged and what (little) they communicated about the event. I will not return for NYE.

    Outside of Oscar's!

    Absolutely loved drag brunch. The service was unmatched - there were only two servers for the whole space and my water never went empty. They killed it! The entertainment was incredible- highly recommend this spot.

    Endless drinks!

    Ok, went to the drag show brunch. I had the breakfast burrito and my wife had the regular breakfast with scrambled eggs, potato's ad sausage. The food was excellent. Service was incredible with unlimited Mimosas and Bloody Mary's. The show was absolutely amazing. If you want a good breakfast and incredible show, bring lots on dollars and be ready to party at this venue!

    Good times

    Is Oscar's 21+ for drag brunch?

    No but it should be!

    I've never been there before and I saw in the photos there seems to be a huge patio... Any chance the Bitchiest Brunch show is outdoors? Covid is getting bad again so we are trying to be as safe as possible.

    Front line of course! But all the tables are good to watch the show.

    Is Brunch only on Sunday, or do they also do it on Saturday?

    There is brunch on Saturday and Sunday. For Holiday weekends , they even have brunch on Mondays.

    Do they still have live music on Monday nights?

    Are dogs allowed?

    Is there a happy hour?

    4-7p daily, except tuesday (closed) there are a couple of exceptions, 4-6p on music nights, karaoke excluded.

    My husband wants to celebrate his birthday at the drag brunch Feb 3. Where can we find out more like the time, menu and all other info? Thanks

    I would suggest to call them directly. They will also help with reservations and all

    Is there a drag show? If yes when and what time?

    Yes there are two shows Saturday nights one at 7pm caters to Cher, Madonna, Gaga, and Juicy garland lovers. One at 11pm has favorites familiar to a Latin Crowd with Spanish songs and singers

    If we get a Groupon for the cabaret show without the dinner, do we still have an opportunity to purchase appetizers and food if we want?

    Yes, you may.

    Is there a min age for the show at 8pm? Have 17 yo son?

    They probably do, I've only been to their day time show and some of their monologues/routines or interactions with the guests can be explicit for under 18 years of age.…

The restaurant itself is on the second floor. It has a full bar on one side and many different boost and tables on the other so I can host many different sized groups. For this visit, I started off with a Triple Berry Tart and really enjoyed it. Imagine a pop tart that's not quite as sweet but a little more cakey and that is it. It was a real nice treat for the meal. I followed up with Sky's the Limit, which is basically one of their larger breakfasts and a mix of everything. I would highly recommend. The eggs were cooked perfectly and everything about it just really hit the spot. I would highly recommend this place to anyone searching for a great brunch option.

My pic doesn't do justice to the freshness and variety of this bowl. The coconut milk was sweet and pared well with the fruit. The texture of the granola and coconut shaving nicely contrasted with the bananas and berries. Mixed through the coconut milk was the red quinoa which made the milk more substantial. This was a great way to eat healthy.

We got their nachos, Mac and cheese, and chicken tenders for my son. Both the nachos and Mac and cheese were really good. Love nachos and wanted to keep eating them. The next morning we went for breakfast at Pinzimini. They have a buffet option and also have a standard breakfast menu to choose items from. My husband got their brioche French toast and I selected to do their buffet. I know he liked the French toast. I liked the items offered in their buffet. They had a mix of mini pastries, cooked items, fruit. I primarily stuck with their pastries and fruit. Overall it was a nice location. Golf course is big. Hopefully we can go again and experience more of the items they offer.

    The number of points required for this stay was a poor value for the executive suite room. It would…read morehave made more sense to book a standard room and pay the $90 per night upgrade that my friends were offered. In practical terms, it felt like a very inefficient use of points. The resort fee also felt hard to justify. The included amenities did not seem to match the extra charge. The two complimentary drinks were limited to Truly canned drinks or a small pour of hard lemonade or iced tea, which felt underwhelming for a resort of this caliber. We did enjoy the range balls, but as early risers, I would have appreciated access to the spa or pool earlier in the morning. Unfortunately, the room itself left a lot to be desired. The bed sheets had what looked like an oil or grease stain, the closet door was broken, and the overall furnishings and finishes felt worn and dated rather than well maintained. This is very much a family resort, so that is worth keeping in mind if you are looking for a quiet getaway. Even at the adults-only Paloma Pool, children were jumping into the water and splashing guests' drinks while parents appeared unconcerned. That made it difficult to relax in what was supposed to be a peaceful setting. On a positive note, the entrance walkway, lobby, and open-air courtyard are beautiful and make for a strong first impression. Unfortunately, that charm does not extend to the guest rooms, which are clearly in need of a refresh.

    This place is a true gem, maybe a hidden gem due to the negative reviews as of lately…read more My husband and I booked this place for a quick weekend getaway. I was a little scared when I read that most of the recent reviews were negative. I was thinking "oh no! What did I get us into." This place is a blast from the past. The decor is that of a mid century modern and is a really cozy quadrangle set up. The interior feels homey and the property is set up like an air bnb with shared amenities. They play 1950s music all day on speakers throughout the complex, it creates that vintage feel but can get repetitive after a few days. Lounge with tables, board games, travel brochures, couches, fire place, coffee and tea, and industrial kitchen for use during your stay. (Old reviews mention happy hour, breakfast, snacks, etc. these are no longer offered but why not just bring your own?) Each room has microwave and mini fridge. Outdoor gas fire pit for use. The pool is small but has a deep end 8ft which is nice. There are pool noodles and some tubes to use. The hot tub is spacious and powerful jets. We stayed in the Hawaiian surf room, loved the theme it was so cute and felt like a tropical getaway. The shower is small but functional. Good AC unit with a remote control and ceiling fan. Surfboard coffee table and wicker love seat add to the tropical feel. Overall this was a nice private getaway. You can be left alone to relax! If you need anything you can text the hotel and someone replies super quick in my experience. The hotel feels very secure with codes needed to enter the complex and security cameras at the entrance and surrounding the complex. (Probably for management to check and make sure everything is running smoothly). I would stay here again in a heartbeat and I have stayed at a few different boutique hotels in the area. This would be a top choice! Please realize this is an older complex and it does show some wear and tear but come on the building is probably 100 years old or somewhere close to that. If you are expecting a sterile, high end, resort feel for your stay this is not your place... but otherwise this is a great choice! I couldn't help but feel bad for the owners with all of the really bad reviews on here because that was truly not my experience. I left off one star because there are definitely areas of improvement that could be made but not enough to ruin my experience.

    While looking for a hotel to stay during my weekend getaway Rendezvous stood out because there a…read morelot of amenities with no resort fees! That was the biggest plus. There are 10 rooms available and each one is a different theme in the 1950s. I stayed for two nights in the Crooners room and I enjoyed my stay a lot. When I arrived, Tim, the inn keeper assisted me with my room keys and showing me around the property. My room was decorated with the Rat Pack and I loved it. All rooms are a maximum of two people with a hot tub, refrigerator with water, microwave, and coffee maker, air conditioning, and DVD player. If you'd like, bring a DVD and popcorn to enjoy during your stay. The bed was pretty comfortable. There were more than enough pillows which I'm guilty of using more than one pillow while I sleep. I love how the comforter was linen on the outside, but cozy and warm on the inside. The Crooners room has two sinks, but I only used one. There is happy hour everyday at 5pm by the pool or communal area with snacks and beer or wine. During my stay there were chips and salsa and the following day was veggies with dip, with of course a drink of choice. Really nice touch added to my stay. It's been a while since I have stayed in a bed and breakfast and I love the homeyness here. Breakfast is served in the communal dining area with hand sanitizer provided. The three-course breakfast starts with a fruit smoothie, a fruit parfait and a hot breakfast. For breakfast they served blueberry pancakes with sausage and the following day it was quiche with artichoke hearts and potatoes. I loved the service here so much. You sit at a table and they serve the food to you. The pool is open 24 hours will pool floaties available to use as well. Another thing I like about this place is that because there aren't many people (max 40 people at a time) it is highly likely you will get the pool to yourself. When I checked out and left the property I told my husband I would enjoy staying here again. I really enjoyed my stay here and highly recommend you stay here too.
