The re-opening of this El Paseo staple was well worth the wait. I have been twice since it opened, both times the food has been excellent. The mushroom haystack appetizer was unique and delicious, the hummus perfectly creamy with nice warm pita bread, the cauliflower florets should not be missed but plan to share. The mushroom soup was a filling, well-portioned bowl, so good I ended up bringing it home. I love that the truffle fries portion is enormous and perfectly crisp. The lobster risotto I’ve had twice, a very generous portion of lobster with a slight sweetness to the risotto. Service is good but a little slow, chalking that up to new wait staff, but they always make sure you have enough water and the cocktails and NA beverages are delightful.

Delicious food, healthy food, best steak I have had in quite awhile and exquisite desserts. Not to mention the fantastic live acoustic music setting a nice mood not overly loud but sounded great. Attentive and professional service that was also timely. Overall the best dining we have had so far in Palm Springs. (Well it’s not on the main strip but it’s better than anything we ate downtown). Perfect for food and drinks with friends or a romantic date. Also ideal for those with more plant based, gluten and dairy free needs but also a good selection of meat and seafood. I rarely write reviews but it was worth it.

I was so excited to get my order after looking over the menu. Everything sounded delicious. I was not impressed with the food, which was very discouraging considering the price. I had the lobster risotto. One of the pieces of lobster was very tough and the portion size left a little to be desired. Luckily I didn't damage my tooth when I was chewing and discovered a piece of lobster shell. I also had the mushroom tonic and I LOVE mushrooms. Unfortunately, it was very bland with an overly earthy aftertaste. I was really looking forward to delicious, high quality food as many other reviews shared.

The new owner and chef have created a fantastic new venue for foodies. We had lunch including the Crispy Cauliflower Florets, Yellowtail Crudo, and Dungeness Crab Cake. All delicious. Topped it off with a fabulous desert called Golden Apple, which is a white chocolate sphere, liquid apple genre and caramel sauce. Great ambiance, wine list, and service. We will return.

A place to find flavorful, good quality organic food! In addition, this place offers a great way to explore vegan and vegetarian options to see how they can compete with carnivorous taste, and even offer delightful alternatives to dairy, such as all the (mylks), butters and other flavors that are available. Definitely a great way to explore newer more sustainable living alternatives, a nice addition to Coachella Valley! Considering the monumental endeavor a task like this entails, there will be some growing pains, patience should be practiced.

I have eaten here several times, with friends and by myself. The food is excellent, the service not so much. The service has always been somewhat slow, but twice it has been terrible. A couple of months ago, one of the four friends I was with wanted to walk out. Recently, I went there for lunch at 1:00. There were no small tables available, so I asked the woman who was seating people, when she wasn't taking care of people at the bar, if I could just seat myself at the end of one of the long empty tables. It was 1:15 by this time and the diners were leaving. She said yes, and that she would get someone to get a menu to me. Ten minutes later, I asked a young man who was clearing a nearby table if he could get me a menu. He told me that he was not my waiter and pointed out a young woman. I finally got her attention and asked for a menu. That took another five minutes and then it was a wait to give my order. Long story short--it was forty minutes from the time I sat down to when I got my food (a salad), and then my order was wrong. I pointed this out, but did not send it back, as I was hungry when I came in and by then was ravenous! I don't know if the servers are short staffed or just poorly trained and managed. Either way, it is hurting an otherwise unique and tasty dining experience.

Dean+Deluca - sorta - IF efficiency ramped up! Amazing open faced portabelo w numerous, delicious, unique veggie sides!! Many healthy, unique & delicious dishes! SERVICE is certainly an issue* - which shouldn't be considering the prices & niche for the desert. Please invest in training/SERVICE, as this place is a gem & worth it! 🍴*Today, they forgot my mashed potatoes - I didn't notice bc my order was To-Go; I sat at bar's small tables - waited & waited - no menu/NO SERVICE, so got order To-Go, thinking I could just go & eat (quickly) - again, waited & waited.

Delicious food!. But please take control of these young serving boys??. Twice I was charged double for my check in two weeks?. I had to tell Jacob and Martin? To correct the issue. Today also new server at the bar Steeve entered my order correctly but the Kitchen preparer didn't give me the 8oz Salmon as ordered?. He gave me only half (4oz)?. I complained... Then I had to also wait 15 minutes because the other half of my salmon the waitor gave it to have to someone else??. Alot of disorganization with these young boys... Hope they are not doing it on purpose?. Tree times in three weeks?. Fasal.
Feedback:
Surprisingly tasteless! Very disappointed...my mother & I looked forward to trying Wildest Greens. We follow Wheat Belly/Keto ways of eating so were excited to eat out where we'd find compliant food choices. I ordered the All Veggie flatbread with cauliflower crust as I love the cauliflower or fathead pizzas we make at home. To say this was bland was an understatement! There wasn't a hint of marinara sauce, hardly any flavor at all. I had to ask for a side sauce that i could liberally spread over the veggies to enhance the taste. While the crust didn't fall apart too much, this flatbread dish just wasn't something I'd ever order again. Sadly, my mom's dish was about the same. She ordered the Hot Veggie Sandwich, which again had little flavor. You couldn't even get a hint of a quality olive oil being used to grill or saute the vegetables. There are fabulous spices, amino sauces, etc., that might have made these dishes appealing. I can tell you that for these two dishes, they were not ùp to expectations & I think we'll give it a miss!

I was in and out and left with a $10 smoothie. Which was delish. Maybe overpriced? I dunno. $8 would have felt better, but I know the deal. The layout is very nice - it feels modern and comfortable. Lunch is also available: lots of organic selections, coffee... It's a great vibe, overall. If I have time to go back while I am in town, I certainly will, because things look very appealing.
