- WWendyvipToronto / Ontario •7 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoWe went for a late lunch and sat on the patio. Perhaps when there are more people it is a great patio, but we were the only ones there so aesthetically wasn't that pleasing. Having said that, it certainly was quiet, the food was excellent and our server was wonderful. The inside restaurant is beautifully decorated. Would highly recommend and would definitely go back!More infoBabaloo LoungePrice: Expensive• Gastro Pub• Palm Desert•4.2
- RRobinvipPalm Springs / Palm Desert Cities •64 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoI’m always looking for new places to try. On the recommendation of someone on NextDoor, I took my sister there for happy hour for her birthday. Oh my! We laughingly started with dessert - a chocolate martini. The best we’ve ever had. We ordered Grandma‘s meatballs, buffalo cauliflower, and buffalo shrimp. I must say, the buffalo in those two items is no joke. Loved the ambience. The service was superb. Our server, Brian, and busboy were very personable and attentive. Will definitely be returning to try some of the other dishes.More infoThe Hideout Kitchen + BarPrice: Moderate• American• Palm Desert•4.7
- MMikeNew York City •3 reviews5.0Dined 4 days agoWhat an exceptional experience. Neno was our server, he was fantastic, has a great personality, sense of humour and he is a chef, his knowledge of food tied with his humour made our night. The food was delicious, the portions are very generous. The restaurant was full of conversation, great energy and laughter creating a great vibe for a night out. The two bartenders with 150 years experience have many tales to share, not one bad drink was served. The walls are covered by actors, musicians, and other high profile people who have also enjoyed time here over the years. This is a must if you are visiting Palm Desert, California.More infoCastelli'sPrice: Expensive• Italian• Palm Desert•4.8
