Excellent Wine Bar with small but varied selection of food. Great place to meet people for a quiet get-together to enjoy excellent wine and good food. Kate is a great sommelier who has excellent suggestions! Nice, upscale place. As a local, I appreciate that it is not a typical touristy place filled with large, loud bachelorette parties.

Excellent food, great service, perfect Palm Springs location and vibe. I would go just for the lobster bisque - outstanding. Wine prices and certain nightly specials made it fine dining and a good value!
