    Flatbread and Korean wings
    Kyle V.

    There are so many incredible restaurants in Palm Springs but we grabbed a quick dinner at this hotel bar/restaurant because we had to be up at 5am for a flight the next day. The bartender was friendly and the food arrived in a timely manner but it's just nothing special for the hotel prices they charge. The flatbread wasn't bad but I'd prefer it a little crispier and cooked longer. The wings were average but the sauce was good and wasn't too much on the wings. The beer selection is minimal but it's a full bar, which is a plus.

    Ice coffee a nice pick me up

    A real stay in town staycation hotel & their Palanco Kitchen restaurant for breakfast is so delicious with very nice waiters/waitresses and town staycation hotel also love their bar menu for late night dinners a great experience

    The butter came frozen... But bread was great

    The food was pretty good, but the service really took away from the dining experience. We came here for Christmas dinner because they had advertised some special dishes. We ordered both of the specials (prime rib and salmon salad) and were excited. However, it seems that there were only like 2 waiters taking care of about 15 tables on one of the busiest holidays. Needless to say, service was SLOW. We waited over an hour for our food to come, but when it finall came, it was very good! I enjoyed the Seafood platter appetizer, basically a mix of seafood (salmon, shrimp, maybe some scallops) as a dip that you eat with chips. The seafood felt really fresh and there was a kick of jalapeno that rounded out the whole dish. The salmon salad was a special for Christmas. I really hope they put it on the menu because it was excellent! The salmon was cooked perfectly, and the salad was great; the craisins and toasted pine nuts along with the sweet dressing turnes kale and some other mixed greens into a fantastic dish. The flat iron steak was also great. It was perfectly cooked, and really tender. It was seasoned well without being too salty, and it worked really well with my salad too ;). Overall, I really really enjoyed the food and it's nice to have a restaurant like this so conveniently placed in the hotel. However, I was disappointed with the lack of service, especially on a day that is expectedly busy. I would want to give a higher rating, but the poor service took too much away from the experience.

    Delicious flat iron steak and great service. Calamari was meh but hubby liked his flatbread and kids loved their burger!

    Bad angle but it really was grey not pink.

    This place was not good. I ordered their $28 New York strip steak, medium rare but on the rare side and the first one showed up burnt all the way through, the second took about 25 minutes to arrive so I was sure it should be just the same. I was wrong it looked too have been frozen when placed on the grill, it was past well done all the way through except for about a 1/4 inch in the very center that was still ice cold. The mashed potatoes were a pile of yellow, oily flavorless mush work lumps in it like instant potatoes made with cold water. The veggies were ok but the whole plate was a soup of yellow oil. The calamari appetizer was actually really good as well as the French fries on my kids plate, my wife's fish and chips were ok also. It appears as though their fry chef is on top of his game. The waitress was actually great and I feel bad for her having to deal with the chefs ( I use the term loosely) disaster. I would never recommend this place.

    This was our second time here and it was great. Sunday brunch is always a thing we try to maintain…read more Gives us the chance to go someplace new but I tend to return to places that made a lasting impression. This place being one of them. We arrived close to 1 in the afternoon. They open till 3 so we still had some time. Checked in with the hostess which for indoor seating it would be about 25 minutes or so for a table. They did have open tables available on the patio which that was the only option at the moment. Mind you even with the misters going on and the shade covering, I was sticking to my clothes. I do love the heat but, it was too hot and humid and kind of unbearable to enjoy a meal. Instead, went back inside to put our name down for a table inside. Luckily, there was an open one available which we were offered. Made a huge difference with the patio. It was the table by the door so whenever the door opened, you still felt the hot air. Anyways, beats eating outside. Norma was our waitress which she was amazing and very sweet. Friendly which is alway a plus anywhere you go. Menu, they have a good selection for breakfast as well as specialty plates for lunch. Sandwiches, salads and other amazing items. As it was Sunday brunch, I do love a good breakfast. We started off with some mimosas. They offer both the bottle or by the glass. Both selections you would need to add orange juice which is an additional fee. Last time we went with the bottle and a carafe of orange juice. Still decent for 25.00 and additional fee for the juice. But this time we opted for the glass which comes out to 10.00 and it comes with two refills. Additional 2.00 for the orange juice. So basically 3 glass for 10.00 which you can't beat. Food, the hangover omelette. I enjoyed it last time that it was ordered again. 3 egg omelette with ham, bacon, sausage, mushrooms, bell pepper, serrano peppers and topped with green onions, sour cream and cheddar cheese. That's come with your choice of toast and a side which their tots are alway good. Also a side order of pancakes, 1 piece. Then the steak caprese omelette. That was a first time trying it and it was great. 3 egg with cubes new your steak, fresh spinach, mushrooms, sun dried tomatoes, melted mozzarella and their house made pesto. Also comes with your choice of bread and a side. Went with the fruit which was blueberries, a couple of grapes and pineapple chunks. Not the prettiest selection but it'll do. Both omelette was tasty and plentiful. Their food was good and we enjoyed everything. Omelette was flavorful which is a plus. Also can't go wrong with the tater tots. Their other items looked amazing from all the dishes being brought out. Definitely need to try it next time. Plus you can't beat the mimosas deal for 10.00. Service was great and Norma took very good care of us. The place isn't that big. It's probably the same amount of seating inside and outside. Inside also has bar seating that looks into the kitchen. But with the heatwave that's going on. Kind of expected for the summer but outside seating could be a little uncomfortable even with the mister spraying. Inside could be a little wait but I would recommend it as it'll be more comfortable with your meal. Until next time.

    For our brunch while on a desert trip, we checked out this place as the menu seemed fun, parking…read moreseemed friendly, and overall had the vibe we enjoy. Our overall experience was lacking in almost every way. We were seated outside, and this was bad. The only available table was on the side by the street, and we were in full blast range for the wind and the sound of their outdoor AC. I can't put it to words how this impacted our overall meal, and the immediate regret we felt. Their indoor seating was also not going to be possible for us because of just how loud it was. Our server took our food and drink order right away, but she never checked in on us after the drop off. I ordered the Irish iced coffee, looking forward to getting a nice treat drink. I ended up getting just a regular iced coffee, and unfortunately I had no chance to try and flag anyone down to get this sorted out since we were never checked on once the items were delivered. This includes the waters we ordered for the table as well. The only good thing about this was that I was only charged for an iced coffee. The eggs Benedict were simply "ok" and rather unremarkable. They arrived just above room temperature and while they weren't bad, they weren't great either. The sandwich was fine, but the home fries were over seasoned by far and had way too much salt. Overall, this was a disappointing brunch. Unless they really look into the quality of the food, the lack of table service, and their terrible side dining area by their outdoor AC, I can say we have no plans on returning.

I ordered the Farm Chicken Salad, and it was hands-down the best decision I could have made in this heat. The dish was vibrant, crisp, and wonderfully light without sacrificing flavor. The chicken was cooked to perfection--tender, well-seasoned, and paired beautifully with farm-fresh greens and a bright, perfectly balanced dressing that tied every bite together. It's rare to find a salad that feels like a full, thoughtful meal rather than just a side, but this one delivered on every front. Beyond the food, the French countryside-inspired atmosphere made the experience even better. The garden-like, rustic charm provides a relaxed escape, making it an ideal destination to cool down and enjoy a slow lunch. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and attentive despite the busy afternoon rush, ensuring water glasses stayed full and food arrived quickly. Whether you're stopping by for a casual brunch or looking for a light lunch to beat the summer sun, FARM continues to impress with its fresh ingredients and comforting prep. The Farm Chicken Salad is officially my new summer favorite, and I'll definitely be coming back for another visit soon!

    We stopped by here for a night to split up a road trip…read more We had been wanting to come since we wanted to see their golf course for another time and it was a really nice location. Golf course was closed but we were still able to see it. It's a big property. Lots to do. Do like they allow dogs since we had ours. They had multiple pools which we liked. We didn't use it but near one. Neither one looked too busy which was nice. Once we got settled into our room we went to go see Pinz and Pints since they had arcade games, including a duckpin bowling. My son was really excited about that. When we went they had a complimentary drink and candy bar. Drinks they offer are limited but still decent. We did get some food there as well. 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 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.

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.
