Brunch at The Pink Cabana felt like stepping into a perfectly styled escape, everything we ordered was amazing and the whole vibe is just so fun and elevated. What really stood out though was the service. We weren't even talking to our waiter at the time and didn't realize he was within earshot, but my friend had mentioned how good the potatoes looked and that she wished she had ordered them. A few minutes later, Sal surprised us by bringing them out to the table. It was such an unexpected, thoughtful gesture that completely made the experience. Great food and a beautiful setting, but that level of attentiveness is what really sets this place apart. Sal turned a great brunch into one we'll remember. read more

Great ambiance and tasty food! The staff is also super friendly and patient. I tried the harissa chicken and steak frites. Both meats were cooked really well. I really enjoyed the aioli that came with the fries. The potatoes with the harissa chicken were super bland though. I also got a taste of the salmon which was also cooked perfectly. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars. Brick, the manager, was so incredibly rude and dismissive when I reported that my phone had been taken from my table. Find my Phone App showed that it was there at the restaurant, but he refused to be at all helpful. He wouldn't even look me in the eye to discuss it. This happened at the end of lunch-time. There were no more customers around, and only a few staff members. Obviously one of them had taken it. I've honestly never experienced anything quite like this. read more

We love this place very much, it's a little oasis in the middle of the desert, the restaurant it's located inside of a hotel, they are in the garden area, it's very exclusive, soft noice around and the decor it's just simple and beautiful according with the the desert vibe. Food was good, we order something from their brunch hour, also The have a good selection of wine, we tried a cava, delicious also. Our server was always very nice and helpful. read more

The hotel and the restaurant are so dreamy, the decor, the entrance, the bar, the architecture were all chefs kiss Parking: (5/5) Free parking lot in the back. Food (3.5) Drinks (5/5) The food was decent, but nothing really memorable for our group. I ordered the ranch burger, and I enjoyed two drinks: a dirty martini (the juiciest blue cheese olives) and a Turkish coffee that was amazing - definitely a must-try if you visit! Service (3/5) The reason for my three-star rating is that we felt rushed out. I was asked five times if they could clear my plate, and each time I mentioned I was still eating. Shortly after, another server would come by to try to clear it. The restaurant was still busy, and our party had only been there for 90 minutes. Since our reservation indicated we had the table for 2 hours and 30 minutes, I'm not sure why we were being hurried. Overall, cute place, good drinks, not so great service. read more

Such a cute place! I've been wanting to come here for a while now, make sure you make a reservation! It's gorgeous outside and the indoor area is totally open with giant windows and open doors, giving a good mix of indoor/outdoor. The service was very good and kind. The majority of our food was delicious, however two of us ordered eggs Benedict and it came out so much later than everyone else's. I believe they ran out of the sauce...so they took forever, was given to us cold with no sauce on it (while we waited for them to make more sauce). It ended up being pretty good, but cold and extremely after the others. They did compensate for our two meals, including the drinks we ordered which was very nice of them. I'd come back still, but wasn't super happy about the situation. read more

The Pink Cabana was great! Loved the ambiance and decor, it was all super cute! The staff was super kind and even able to accommodate a last minute add to our reservation. The food was amazing! We got a bit of everything! Highly recommend the fritto misto, fennel salad and steak frites, but everything was good. They also were able to make accommodations for dietary restrictions! Will definitely be coming back :) read more

Perfectly cooked steak. Cocktail menu is fantastic. Do you like key lime pie? You will love this one. Perfect amount of tart.

Ok at best. Good ambiance but the serves is always sub par, went with my sister and she asked about a drink that was on the menu, asked if she didn't like the drink could she send it back and the super snotty waitress said NO .. We had waters and had drinks at the hotel bar where they work harder than her... She took the order and dropped off the check, I guess if ya want bad service this place is for you. There won't be a third try. read more

Ambiance was amazing - 50's Palm Desert Lucy and Desi vibe. Service was attentive, professional with helpful suggestions, and delightful. And the food! Are you kidding. I'd never, ever order a pork chop but the PCs are a Pink Cabana staple and as our waitress Yasmine accurately described - they are indeed life changing! Enjoy the PCs at the PC! read more

Not the best experience at the pink cabana. Coffee was good and the interior is very pretty and a good vibe. I thought the quiche was good too. Took a little bit for our food to come out and when it did only three of our five orders came out. They were very apologetic and said it would be a minute but we waited for quite a while. When they finally did come out they were missing the hollandaise sauce, they said it would come out separately as they had to make more... When the sauce finally came out separately it was barely enough for one egg, let alone the two full dishes we had ordered. They were very kind and took care of our drinks and the eggs Benedict but overall it was an odd experience. read more

The hotel and restaurant are beautiful, and I genuinely wanted to love this place. Unfortunately, our experience raised serious concerns about how food allergies are handled. One member of our group requested that tomatoes and onions be omitted from her meal, but the request was not honored. We simply removed them ourselves and moved on. In hindsight, it raised concerns about attention to detail when it comes to special requests. The more serious issue involved my sister, who has a severe egg allergy. Before ordering, she clearly informed the staff of her allergy. Multiple members of our group reiterated the severity of it and specifically asked for confirmation that her meal contained no eggs, that ingredients had been verified, and that precautions had been taken to prevent cross-contamination. She was also asked whether she had any additional allergies, such as dairy, and confirmed that egg was her only concern. After taking a single bite of her salad, she experienced an immediate allergic reaction. Given the speed and severity of the reaction, we were extremely concerned that she had been exposed to a good amount of egg as opposed to a little contamination. As staff became aware of the situation, we were repeatedly told that the dish contained no eggs and asked whether she might be allergic to dairy. While no one in our group was confrontational, we were focused on addressing a potentially serious medical situation. The responses felt defensive rather than investigative, and we did not feel reassured that the situation was being handled appropriately. What stood out most was the lack of acknowledgment of the seriousness of what had occurred. Even after management was made aware of the incident, several members of our group (including my sister) were told, "We hope to see you again soon." While likely well-intentioned, the comment felt out of place given the circumstances. I do not believe anyone intended harm. However, when a guest communicates a life-threatening food allergy, there is very little room for error. Based on our experience, I would encourage anyone with severe food allergies to exercise caution or eat beforehand. read more

Food-Average and overpriced. Pretty boring menu options. Fig jam was good. Service-Slow Ambiance- Hip & Tropical I thought for the price the food would be better. The drinks looked good & the best I can say is I think the water is filtered and it was excellent. read more

Restaurant is located in a tiny retro version of the Sands Hotel in Las Vegas. Once you go through the gates and enter the hotel, you step back in time. The pool area had a really old school vibe. The restaurant was beautiful. Eclectic and modern with serious glam. Menu was small but well rounded. Ordered the club sandwich and fries. The club sandwich was really nice and I enjoyed the addition of the alfalfa sprouts. The fries were crispy and loved the aioli on the side. Our server was nice and attentive. read more

This place slays on vibes and friendly charm alone. Add in delicious cocktails, yummy food, and it's a home run. When I found out I had to come back in the area for work there wasn't a doubt in my mind where I wanted to stay, here of course. It's a beautified Moroccan themed property with a delicious restaurant on site - winning overall. This most recent trip I had a bit of a rough travel day and my only goal was to get on site and stay. I was worried I'd miss my dinner reservation but I didn't and I'm so glad it worked out. This time I ordered the gluten free Fritto Misto (rice flour), it is cross contaminated in the fryer so tread cautiously for those who are sensitive. The menu updates seasonally because last time I was here was winter and it was different. I'm always a fan of a seasonal menu to keep it fresh. The fritto misto was yummy. It has green olives, artichokes, and calamari in the dish (all coated and fried). It was a little heavy but what do you expect with a fried dish, right?! I also ordered the Alaskan Halibut which was served on a corn puree with fresh garden beans and cherry tomatoes. The halibut had a nice crusty sear on it, still flaky and moist inside. Perfection! No dessert today, but last time I had the key lime pie which I saw on the menu again and it was DELICIOUS last time. I'd come back for the vibe alone. It's a really beautiful and special spot. read more

Visited this place last year and made sure to stop by again while visiting this year. Stunningly beautiful restaurant located at the Sands Hotel. The bar here is exceptionally beautiful, but in general this whole place is picture worthy. The service was standard nothing really stood out. We were there for brunch, I think next time I visit I'll try their dinner. As for what I ordered: - chicken tinga tacos 8/10 they are delicious but do not stay warm for long - French fries 6/10 last year we were served different fries and i prefer those. These were still good but not as good as the other ones read more

The crab Benedict here is to die for -- rich, flavorful, and cooked perfectly every time. I also really enjoyed their Turkish coffee; it has such a bold, smooth flavor that pairs perfectly with brunch. My sister ordered the strawberry French toast and loved it, so it's definitely a great choice if you want something sweet. Pink Cabana is such a cute little spot inside the Sands Hotel. I've been here before just for cocktails, and their drinks are always refreshing -- perfect for a hot desert afternoon. The bartender is really good, super friendly. Overall, this place is a must-try in the desert. Great food, great drinks, and a beautiful ambiance. read more

YELP SHORT ANSWER: Yes The Pink Cabana is a really a nice setting in The Sands Hotel, quiet with amazing service, reservations highly suggested as this is less of a hotel and more of a small resort. Peak season is busy so plan ahead. Check hours ahead of time as they close for a short time to set up for lunch and dinner but I believe the bar remains open LOCATION: In Indian Wells area easy to find off the 111. Parking can be a challenge so if you're visiting maybe reach out to see if they are hosting an event. FACILITY: One of the best in CV, off the road, quiet, secluded and beautiful landscaping around pool area. MENU: Simple and chef driven, not a lot of choices but all will be well prepared. FOOD PREP: Nicely done with intent not just placed on the plate. We had humus appetizer and four meals. FOOD QUALITY: Not the best I have had in CV, but good enough. Scallops were expensive $49, and not that great for three small scallops that did not pop. They said large and they were not even close, well prepped but disappointing. Salads were great, I had a Chicory Salad and it was huge and perfect for a warm evening with a glass/bottle of wine. LIBATIONS: Our very professional waitress, Mel, Meg ? sorry I am in a fog, She made the drink ordering and delivery interesting and a bunch of fun and she was fun. Exceptional Service for our table made the entire dining experience worth the expense. WAITSTAFF: Excellent, everyone was so professional, from servers to people bussing the tables a 10. Cannot say enough positive things on just how good they made the experience. OVERALL VALUE: I'd say well worth it. We may order different next time with just a salad and a bottle of wine to finish by the fire pit. TIP: If your feeling a Daycation is something you want when things get warmer or you're just pissed and need a break like yesterday, a day-pass can be purchase to lounge by the shaded pool, have a few drinks and lunch. Maybe have a nap then Wakey Wakey, eggs and bakey, or maybe your dinner reservation will end a perfect day. Make a reservation and I promise you will have an excellent day. read more

Had a lovely meal on a Friday night. Not too crowded, we got there on the early side. We didn't have a reservation but were kindly seated regardless. The hosts were very gracious and welcoming. Our server was so great. I wish I had caught her name. What a sweetheart and knew the menu and wine list well. The menu is small, but everything is thoughtfully prepared. It was a very chill and enjoyable meal, good vibes all around. We had the fritto misto (fantastic!), mushroom pasta (delicious), oysters (my friend enjoyed) and a nice light salad. Such a beautiful room and the outside patio was heavenly as usual. This still stands as one of my favorite places in the area. It's really a beautiful escape and experience. read more

I have now been here twice on two separate trips, and it's a favorite. It's a gorgeous setting, amazing food, great service.

Food quality has changed and the Vibe is gone. Sad to experience but the food just isn't great anymore. Had difficulty getting through our meal. We've been coming here for years but unfortunately it's just not the same anymore. Hopefully they can fix the kitchen and get back to the basics that made this place great for so long. read more

Had such a great experience at the Pink Cabana the other day! I sat at the bar and the service was top-notch. Huge shoutout to Alan the bar back and Fabian the bartender, they were both amazing and really made the experience even better. Also, the burger? Absolutely delicious. Super cute spot overall, definitely recommend if you're looking for a fun place to bring a loved one or just enjoy a night out! read more

I usually don't get excited about a Hotel restaurant, but this place is magic. The Moroccan architecture, the staff, the design of the gardens make me want to come back in the evening to see it all lit up! Now the Pink Cabana: spacious comfortable seating, tall ceilings, very open, and bright. Menu is not too extensive; which is probably why everything is absolutely delicious. Started our brunch with the ricotta toast with strawberries . Yum! Our server: Adrian suggested the Quiche to my husband. He sold him on it and this ain't your Momma's Quiche. Adrian says it takes like 2 days to make it, and I've never had anything this good! We also had the chicken tacos which were superb. The accompanying guacamole and sauce was definitely home made. We also had a Turkish coffee and pink lemonade cocktail: . I thought the value of the experience was so worth it. Can't wait to try dinner. read more

Went to Pink Cabana during Coachella weekend (so it was packed), and Isabella was honestly amazing. Even with how busy everything was, she stayed super nice, calm, and on top of everything. She checked in on us, made sure we had what we needed, and never made us feel rushed. I've been in the industry and you could tell she was juggling a lot, but she still kept a great attitude the whole time and made the experience feel easy. Service like that during a crazy weekend really stands out. If you're nearby, definitely stop by, the restaurant is amazing. read more

we were visiting from Chicago and had brunch here. While the aesthetic is gorgeous & I liked the ambiance, I think the appeal ends there. I'm hoping it was just an off day. Our reservation was for outside, it was colder than planned so I asked if we could be sat inside. The hostess said yes but it would be a bit of a wait. We had other things planned so we said outside was fine. The hostess happened to sit us right outside the door to the stand. After seating us, there were three walk in tables back to back seated inside. Not the end of the world but annoying as it appears she could have accommodated our request but chose not to. Next, drinks. we each ordered a cocktail which took almost 20 minutes to get. They were so insanely strong. We couldn't drink them. The server never bothered to inquire on why we had untouched drinks on the table likely because he never once checked in on us (other than a quick drive by saying our food should be up shortly. spoiler alert - it wasn't) after taking our order. Basic food (French toast & egg/bacon/toast breakfast) took over an hour and average at best. Eggs were good. My friend then asked for a coke when he finally did deliver our food. It took over 10 minutes to deliver a can of coke. I asked for the bill at that time since we had other things to do and had already been there over 1.5 hours. Not a place I'd recommend. read more

Food is pretty good. Ambience is absolutely excellent. Also, nice drinks. Definitely a great place for a date or a nice brunch.

The Pink Cabana at the Sands Hotel & Spa is not your average hotel restaurant--it's a full-on vibe. From the moment you walk through the gates, you feel like you've stumbled into a secret desert oasis where design lovers and brunch goers unite. The hotel's glam details carry right into the restaurant, which looks like it was made to be photographed (and trust me, everyone here knows it). We had a brunch reservation but showed up early, and they didn't make us wait--points already! The space is gorgeous, and the menu more than holds its own against the best spots in the valley. I went classic with the Eggs Benedict, and wow--the eggs were poached exactly as they should be, with thick, flavorful ham that made the whole dish feel indulgent and perfectly satisfying. The staff? Flawless. Attentive, warm, and somehow managing to keep drinks topped off even while dodging ring lights and influencer photo shoots. By the time noon rolled around, the place was packed--birthday balloons, groups clinking mimosas, and plenty of content creators documenting their every sip and bite like their lives depended on it. If you're looking for a brunch spot that's equal parts delicious and scene-y, The Pink Cabana is where you want to be. Come for the food, stay for the people-watching. read more

Well I was anticipating a much more gourmet experience. As I was seated at a frayed, broken chair, my partner quickly changed the chair to another which also was in disrepair. Not a good start! I ordered a glass of white wine which was $18. It was not even half of the glass. It was corked and I sent it back. We ordered the calamari which was inedible. Over cooked and very tough. We should have cut our loses and left then. We waited for the main course which was the pastrami and the Mediterranean chicken. The pastrami was tough and tasted funny. My chicken dish was lacking any flavor whatsoever. I was so disappointed with everything this restaurant. We will never go back. (My partner got sick as soon as we arrived home!) read more

This was an adorable place for brunch or lunch, with good food and excellent service. It has a small but smart menu with really good avocado toast and a perfectly poached egg with bright orange yolk. The toast was soft enough to eat with a fork and knife, which I appreciate. We shared a fruit plate, and it was all ripe and flavorful. The drinks include iced mint tea and Turkish coffee. The server helped us decide on a few things and responded to a couple picky requests without batting an eye. The manager introduced themselves and was working the room in an attentive yet non-invasive way. Everyone just seemed happy working there. A member of the maintenance staff took our picture--but not just click and done, but he actually directed us to two of his favorite photo op spots, where we didn't even consider. I would be happy to return! read more

We had lunch at the pink Cabana today for a friend's birthday. We were disappointed with both the food and service today at The Pink Cabana. 2 orders of Harissa Chicken were overcooked and difficult to cut through, even with a steak knife. The server had very few tables but seemed bothered by the request for replacement entrees, and with any request our party of 6 had. The replacement were entrees prepared better. Service today I would rate as a C- , our server rarely stopped at our table. The ambience of this restaurant is lovely, but this spot requires better food and service. If we weren't there celebrating a birthday, I would have definitely spoken to the manager, who should have popped by regardless. read more

Do you want to find the best food, decor and service in all of the Desert? If so, come here! Quite simply, everywhere you look is better than the last thing you saw from the vintage tile flooring to the lighting to the framed wall photos, chairs, soft pink couches and mirrors, I want to move in! Our server was wonderful, as was the entire supporting staff. You walk through the check-in desk and past an outdoor pool nestled in lush palm trees with chill vibe music playing. It's dreamy, classy and old Hollywood vintage. I will definitely be back. read more

I'd give this place 2 stars. Breakfast was honestly a letdown. The food came out lukewarm and tasted pretty bland, like it had been sitting for a while. For how simple the menu is, I expected way better quality. On top of that, the service was painfully slow. It took forever just to get our order taken, and even longer for the food to arrive. Not a great start to the day when you're hungry. The only real highlight was the coffee--it was actually really good and probably the only reason I didn't go lower on the rating. That said, the prices are way too high for what you get. Between the slow service, mediocre food, and high cost, it just doesn't feel worth it. Overall, I wouldn't come back unless I just wanted coffee and nothing else. read more
