The vegetarian menu here is pretty good. My wife had a few options she really liked. I went for the cowboy ribeye, which was decent. A solid spot if you&#39;re dining with someone who doesn&#39;t eat meat.

The crab cake pancakes are a fun twist! The flavor is spot on, and they look so pretty on the plate.

The wait between courses threw off the rhythm. Everything else was solid, but the pacing needs work.

Daniel was our server. He was friendly and attentive, checked on us at the right times without being intrusive. That level of service is hard to find. It made the whole dinner smooth and enjoyable.

Been coming here for years, and the German Pancakes are always my go-to. The lemon flavor they suggest is just right&mdash;not too sweet, works great with a side of eggs. It&rsquo;s the one thing I know won&rsquo;t change.

The pretzel dog during happy hour was a nice surprise. I really appreciated that the sausage tasted fresh and the pretzel bun was soft, not greasy. A solid choice for a quick bite.

I&#39;ve been coming here since I was a kid. The homemade corn tortillas are the star for me&mdash;they&#39;re warm, soft, and have that perfect masa flavor you just can&#39;t get from a store.

The beef stroganoff was pretty good, tender and a decent portion. It&#39;s a reliable choice when I&#39;m here. The sauce was a touch salty for my taste, but still enjoyable.

The California Bowl is my go-to. Their house white wine was a surprisingly good match with the fresh flavors.

The halibut special was so fresh and flaky. Really appreciate when they highlight the daily catch like that. The portion felt a bit light for the price, but the quality of the fish itself was spot on.

Love that you can add Anaheim peppers to the breakfast sandwiches! It&#39;s such a fun little option for customizing your order. My friend and I both got them on ours last weekend&mdash;made the whole brunch feel a bit more special.

The food here is solid. I got the breakfast burrito and the eggs were cooked just right, not too runny. The chorizo inside had a nice kick to it. It&#39;s a few blocks off the main drag, which is nice. The burrito itself was a bit on the smaller side for the price, but the flavor was good.

The service was really thoughtful. Our waiter noticed my water glass was low and refilled it before I had to ask. That kind of attention to detail is nice when you&#39;re trying to relax and enjoy a meal.

Our server was really on it. He suggested the grilled octopus and it was spot on. Service felt smooth, not rushed.

The baked brie and artichoke appetizer was the star for me. The brie was wonderfully creamy and the artichoke hearts tasted so fresh. It felt like a really wholesome, satisfying start to the meal. We enjoyed it on Christmas evening.

Been coming here for years, and the dog-friendly patio is still the main reason. Our pup loves it too.

The happy hour tacos are a solid deal. Tried the chicken and fish ones&mdash;both were decently filling and looked nice on the plate. A pretty good option for a quick bite.

The patio is huge and really chill. Grabbed lunch here with a couple friends and just hung out. It&rsquo;s the kind of spot where you don&#39;t feel rushed at all.

Food is super fresh. Got the chicken sandwich on my lunch break. You can taste the quality ingredients. Quick service too, perfect for a fast bite.

The staff handled our big group really well, no rushing us at all. They were patient with all our questions and kept things moving smoothly. A nice change from the usual hurry.

Perfect spot before a show at the Plaza Theater. The vibe is upscale but relaxed, and we got seated right away. My salmon was cooked just right, not dry at all. A bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the location and the atmosphere. Made our night out easy.

Love the old-school deli vibe here. Spacious inside, nice patio. Feels like a genuine slice of Palm Springs history. The pastrami on rye was solid, though the bread could&#39;ve been a bit fresher.

The Dole whip was a nice change from regular ice cream. But for $7, the portion felt a bit small for the price. It&#39;s a decent sweet treat if you&#39;re walking around, just wish you got a little more for what you pay.

The patio is so pretty, especially with the misters on a hot day. I love grabbing a seat here to watch the world go by.

The retro decor is cool, but the real draw is the food. Had the short rib tacos and a mezcal cocktail. Both were solid. Service was efficient, which I appreciate on a business trip. A bit loud inside, but that&#39;s the vibe.

The pad thai was solid, noodles had a nice chew. But that basil chili chicken really got my attention - the heat was just right, not overwhelming. Lunch special came with a salad, the peanut dressing on it was a nice touch.

Our waitress Nicole was the best! She helped us pick a wine that went perfectly with the chicken parm. Service was so on point&mdash;our waters were never empty. Made the whole dinner with friends super easy and fun.

No reservation, but the hostess was super nice about it. The inside has this cozy, old-school vibe that&#39;s perfect for catching up with friends. We ended up staying for hours just chatting.

The bacon flight is a fun idea. I liked comparing the different cures and smokes. The truffle one was my favorite&mdash;really rich and savory. The others were good too, just not quite as memorable.

Busy spot downtown. Food was solid, prices fair. Got pretty loud later on, but that&#39;s the vibe here on a Saturday night. Good for a casual bite.
